I hope they're both okay and can get released SOON.
I've been in custody for civil disobedience before, and it's not fun. :(

6. BTW - Does meaganmonkey need bail money? |
|
Jeez - I was teasing her about programming the number of Chico's Bail Bonds into her cell phone - I didn't think she'd actually NEED it. :o

9. She hs Joani's calling card..... |
|
And there will be no problem with the bail, at least that is the impression I got from Joani...
She is there waiting for her to call.....
That is why I got off the phone

If she wants to talk let her know I'm here. We can find a way somehow.

Megan is out of jail and on her way back to the hotel room....
Joani's eye is blacker and bluer....
But it doesn;t hurt so much....
She fell during the run up to the arrest.....
The doc who treated her was a volunteer and used, as stressed by Joani, homeopathic methods....
A drop of lavender, I do believe.....

19. What a relief to hear that Megan is out of jail...... |

That was quick...I thought that she'd be in jail overnight...glad she wasn't......
Lavendar for bruises? Perhaps with ice......:shrug:
I'm glad for the update....Thanks!

the hotel. :patriot: :hug:
Speaking of homeopathic methods, using a cold raw egg on a bruise works wonders. Just roll the cold raw egg on the bruised area and you will be surprised how the bruising goes away. Sending Joani love and hugs!

And MeganMonkey too!

28. Joani stuck around..... |
|
Got bit by the protest bug.....
She is going to continue on with the action as best she can....
DOn;t know Megan very well, but she volunteered to get arrested...
And even though you know it is going to turn out okay going in, when those doors shut behind you and they fingerprint you and take your picture, you get an idea of what it really is like....

30. Joani and Meagan, if you're reading this- |
|
I admire you two so MUCH!!! I am sitting here hoping you're both alright. Two of my favorite people getting roughed up..Meagan, I knew you were a little apprehensive, but GOOD ON YA! You are one of the strongest, coolest women I've ever met. And Joani- I'm going to call you later. I hope your poor eye is doing alright.
I love you both!
