johnman

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?!!

Does anybody volunteer

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!

Losing a father

Hey everyone. Around the time that tickets were about to go on sale for the spring tour, my father's cancer took a turn for the worst. We expect him to leave us any day within the next two weeks. Its been really tough, but its been nice seeing family members coming together. Some I haven't seen in twenty years. The tour is one thing keeping my spirits up. I am going to Shoreline, maybe to the LA Forum. My first time seeing the boys since 1988 (when I was in high school), and I'll be flying in to Cali from Houston. I've been listening to the Dead a lot lately, guess because there's lots of bitter sweet tunes and the band certainly knows about dealing with the loss of a loved one since their early days. Good vibes and prayers to all others going thru hard times.

Ted

Strength and positive thoughts for your Dad, you, and your whole family. Focus on the good times. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

what Mr. P said

strength and comfort to you and all your family in this very hard time, Ted.

tedhead

Positive vibes

you are in my thoughts and prayers ted

i lost my mom 'bout the time you saw yer first show, i understand how you feel. all the healing vibes i can muster are on their way to you!!!

Tedhead,

Healing thoughts to you and your family. May you and yours have gentle and special times with your father. Take care, Tim The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

thank you everyone!

This thread brings a few tears of joy and gratitude. I'm going to celebrate this spring like nothing else! See some of you on the Cali leg, and my hippie aunt and uncle are happy for me making the trip. May all your good vibes and wishes be returned a thousand fold!

Tedhead

All the best vibes, light beams and prayers for you and your family. The music does help!Peace, c.

I think now that our president is Obama, things will get turned around for the better, its not going to happen over night, but with in the next year or two things will get better. Its great to not only have a democrat for president, but a dead-head president. Anyone got any good art work of what Obama mite look like dressed as a dead-head?Phatmoye
