SSBD has run out of books!

Bitcoin is tanking :( Can we arrange to get some of those books to him?

/u/pinkprincess1 did you have a list for /u/lobali to start sending him a few? He said 5 would tide him over.

Hey!

Pink is sick, she messaged this morning saying so. She sent me a list of books that I (thought that) I forwarded to you via PM -- I am more than happy to dig it back up and send it to you to either double check with him to make sure no duplicates, or else I will simply take the top 5 and order them today.

Let me know which you'd prefer me to do and it's done!!

I got home from my conference to four crises ranging from annoying to OH SHIT this is not good, between family and work and have been largely absent. Only yesterday am I back in a position that I can be on here daily again (mostly weekdays during regular work hours but am able to check in other times sporadically.)

I'll be on/off for the next few hours - just let me know what you'd like to do and it's done -- all I really need is for you to please PM me the address to use - the last "official" word I had was to hold off because of uncertainty of if he would be kept where he is.

Just let me know what he would like and I imagine by this time tomorrow I'll have tracking numbers. It's a shame that the system doesn't permit third-party sellers, but I have a list of bookmarks on my other computer to a few of them that people had messaged me, and I have very little difficulty finding any books not fulfilled by amazon.

I have been wanting to ask you this: I realize he isn't in a small county jail, but a friend of mine's husband is a CO an the prisoners are allowed to own e-readers that have no internet access. We certainly would have enough to purchase him an e-reader and can 'refill' it with plenty of content - I use mine for all my magazine and newspaper subscriptions and it changed my life.

Of course no rush, but I meant to let you know about this and see if you might be able to check if it's a possibility. Of course we want to maximize what we sent to commisary and family as it sounded like he requested that, but I kept the small part of the donation aside so the community when I sent you the rest just so the community can stay involved and do this monthly (or however often) as I believe our continued gifts will also equate to continued contributions.

But again, that's secondary. For now let me know if you'd prefer the list of options or just a copy of the order that I can send off today (or as soon as I hear back from you)

Who is SSBD?


[2 Points] noonehear:

SSBD probably bought cheetos and smokes and one book.... JK. Why did the sidebar link to SSBD donation disappear? He is going to be in for a few years and IIRC his phone calls were 99cents USD a minute.


[2 Points] noonehear:

Is it possible to get him an eBook like a basic Kindle or something (that obviously does not have internet access)? It would make getting him books a little cheaper... despite the initial investment.

EDIT: Bitcoin isn't tanking. Its bitcoining. Prob the SR auction winner or EVO VERTO/KIMBLE selling of a large chunk of BTC causing prices to drop.

Message from Pete: "I have a few book requests if you would be so kind as to pass them on to Lobali??

1) Behold the Pale Horse (sorry I do not know the authors name)

2) The Secret Teachings of all Ages (by Manly Hall)

3) The Valley of Horses (by Jean M Auel)

The first two were recommended to me by another inmate and they both sound very interesting."

I will try and find the other suggestions he liked the sound of /u/lobali
