    Luckily for her! There is one branch of DB striking-sadly the one she needs to take. Will get her home today, one way or another.********************************** I am not young enough to know everything. Oscar Wilde

    Yeah, that's an idea but I think the Paypal scheme would be better; it's free and really simple to open an account. Or alternatively, as lamagonzo mentioned; maybe check with johnman if there's a forwarding address and then send cheques/money. Makes it a bit harder for the European folks but opening a bank account seems like more hassle. A Paypal account takes seconds. Also easier to access it or change payment etc. johnman then can transfer the money from Paypal to his bank account in seconds. Of course, johnman would need to have a Paypal account too but i'm sure that wouldn't be a problem for him. Hope your daughter is okay! Or has she made that up so she can stay out and party?!!

    to receive checks, donations, etc? I will if no-one else will, but I think that it's better if it's someone in the States. Someone who is trustworthy, of course! I guess the next thing I can try is setting up an online bank-account. That could receive donations, and that Johnman also has access to. Sorry for my delay-have gotten into a bit of a dilemma with my daughter being stuck away from home due to a train strike ********************************** I am not young enough to know everything.

    whatever you have been doing seems to be working because he is making a so far remarkable recovery from an aneurism. Apparently he is he's up & eating talking & walking. Many of you may know of John from his many circulating audience recordings of the Grateful Dead and other bands. This info comes from the Eurotraders list where John has many friends.

    OK then Johnman, just answer one question: your addy!
    You don't need a pay-pal account. You can do it "card not present" through an app that sets up through your I-phone. The app. piggy-backs on another, larger merchant. We have to find somebody that we trust for CC#s to go through. Big responsibility, that one. Alternatively, there is the old-fashioned way, which I am more inclined to do. Does Johnman have a forwarding address that we can snail mail contributions to? Are you willing to give it in this thread?

    Hurricane Irene
    Lots of bad stuff in the world gets lots of attention (or not when it should). But right now in the NE US, lots of folks are still suffering from the effects of Irene, mostly flooding. A number of people lost their lives so please send blessings for their souls. There are many more who have lost all their personal belongings, especially their homes. While "things" can always be replaced, the upset to life for these people, many of them my friends, including many family farmers who have lost their crops and their livestock, has been terrible. Please send your vibes, prayers and thoughts to those sisters and brothers in need in Upstate New York, Vermont, etc as they try to rebuild their lives. If you can spare a little extra then please donate to your favorite charity that can provide assistance to folks up here. Thanks all!

Thanks for finding time to give us this good news. Maybe Deadhead power has helped just a little. I really hope Candy continues to get better and can be home soon.

Thanks so much.I print out your comments and read them to her. Hopefully today she will be awake when I read them. She is doing a little better. They began to lower the amount of sedatives and hope to have her awake today. They may try to remove the tube going down her throat Tuesday morning. We got official notice from the CDC she has been H1N1 free for 96 hours. The experimental drug that saved her life was Relenza. It was previously only used as an inhalent. Doctor Levine had to move mountains to get the FDA to release it in liquid form. So if a loved one is in the hospital tell the doctor about it. It really stopped the H1N1 from reproducing. I can't believe it has been over three weeks since she started getting real sick. We are lucky to have such good caring friends like you to help out. Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever....

Thanks everyoneShe is awake very weak breathing on her own -she squeezed my hand 3 times which is our secret signal for "I Love You"-- when I told her she had been asleep for 17 days her eyes got really really big..

What can I say? Let a therapist sleep for 17 days and first thing she has to be on her cell phone with her "Froggy" voice checking with her patients. The nurses had to take it away from her after a few hours.The Allman Bros were simply amazing damn they sure can rock sounded as good as they did 20- years ago. I don't have too many memories of the 60's shows I saw of them. Best part went into the casino spent 6 bucks on the slots won $46 and promptly left. Enough for Double Jack Daniels and Coca Cola for my friend and I. We want to thank you again for all of the well wishes and kind words and prayers. The Mihm family And the road goes on forever....

Hey everyone...I've been completely remiss about signing on and spreading positive vibes, and for that I apologize. I miss you guys. Anyway, school is going well for Marjie and I both, however we have hit a point of diminishing returns living were we are, so it's back to Alabama for us. We are excited as all get out to be moving back home. One thing is that we have friends who are not like family but are indeed family to us in Mobile, and that is something we've missed since we started our wagon train up to the mountains. We've seen and learned and experienced and now it is time to go. Our projected moving date is the second week of February. This of course breaks from my own personal norm of giving myself 24 or 36 hours of preparation to move. Usually I decide to move, rent a truck, and while I'm loading it I decide where to go...this time we are doing our homework and whatnot first. Guess we be growing up. I did my first professional photography job. I photographed candles for a local soy candle company to use on their website. Unfortunately they decided not to pay me citing that I am in school and was working there as a student. Sucks...especially when they initially promised to pay me to do the job. It's a bunch of nonsense, but needless to say our leaving here isn't going to be as difficult as it once would have been. It is good experience though. I sent my first "cease from using my copyrighted work" letter. Still don't know what is going to happen. Either they have to pay me or they have to figure out how to shoot a couple thousand photos of candles real quick. On the up side...we have a friend in Mobile who is a working photographer too busy to handle her work load. She has been looking for someone to partner with. On a side note, she is actually the person who bought our house in Mobile, so when we go visit we hang out on our old deck. With any luck we'll be able to find a place walking distance between us. In the meantime, I've been saving up and investing in things like cameras and flashes and printers and computers and software, so we should be set to hit the ground running when we get back down to the gulf coast. Sorry for the long note, I haven't been around in a while...but I wanted to send out good vibes to a friend who is out hitchhiking right now. She went from here to Mobile with us, then hitched out to Cali, up the coast...Oregon, and then over to Jersey. I saw her yesterday for five minutes and she was off like a flash. I think she is headed down to Florida. Anyway, we expect to see her down in Alabama after we move, so she's gonna remain on the road this whole time. She's really got it in her, and she's a hell of a writer too. Okay, time to go...I love you guys...Happy Holidays, and all you travelers keep it between the lines in this ice. Later Gators
