    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?

It's like, i wanna say no, as there are more deserving people out there...like the hurricaine (sp?) victims. for instance...but i won't refuse any help...gotta go...

    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!

To Jeff and Nicole, you have our prayers and beams...here's hoping everything is alright. Stuman, marye, Tigerlilly, Mr. Pid, Hal R, Iknowyourider, SteveO, grdaed73, everybody...so great seein' you guys and reading and getting caught up. First and foremost, vibes vibes vibes galore everyone, I'm way behind. Marjie and Jack and I are great. We are finding that the economy and all this is in no way interfereing with our smile smile smiles...We've been making friends up here in our new town, but we still have to move somewhere where I can go to school without too much commute. If we stay in North Carolina, we will move to Greensboro. I'm psyched about possibly meeting Rebecca Adams over at UNC Greensboro. She used to teach a class called 'Deadhead Sociology.' I've been interested in meeting her for about a year or more, has it been that long? Anyway, I've been putting together bits and pieces of an idea for a liberal arts graduate program that would involve her book, "You Ain't Gonna Learn what you don't want to know." Well, now it looks like we might be turning our wagon train back South, so I may not get to meet Rebecca, but I'm still going to persue my graduate degree asperations. It may take me a while, but I'll get it "One Piece at a Time." The thing is, we've been without support up here, and it's startin' to wear us out. All our friends live down in Mobile, and lately we've been talking about how different our lives would be if we just moved back, went to South (University of South Alabama), and got back into the Alabama routine. We originally moved with the intent that we would gain in-state status in North Carolina, go to school without our usual distractions, and as quickly as possible have options open to us, one of which could have been Mobile. Anyway, that plan had an adendum, my job out at sea, and since Marjie got sick that has all changed along with the rest of our lives...changed for the better, not the worse. Our lives are more our own now than ever. The moral of this story, the moral of this song, is simply that one should never be, where one does not belong...down in Alabama, we've got friends who can get feet into doors and whatnot, and around here we are just three more heads. So that's that everybody, we'll all have to wait and see what happens. Otherwise, Jack is talking and singing up a storm, you wouldn't believe it. He held out all that time, and then when he started talking he immedietly began doing the exact opposite of what we say, deliberately, and consistantly. The thing is, he's already beaten reverse psychology so now we're wingin' it. Anyway, gotta go. I'm all caught up on the neglect I put toward email and all that stuff, so you should be seein' more of me. I know I'm happy to be seein' more of me around here, you guys are great, and have been a healing force in our lives. Our family sends our vibes to you whether you hear from us or not. Much Love everyone... See you later Aligators...

UNDERHILL — The wife of Richard Phillips, the cargo-ship captain taken hostage Wednesday by pirates in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia, says she is waiting anxiously for word her seafaring husband is safe and sound. “Whatever positive energy that’s out there for him, I’m going to take it,” Andrea Phillips said as she stood in the living room of her home Wednesday afternoon. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to hearing his voice on the phone.” http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20090408/NEWS03/90408014

more ++++++ vibes for everyone, and for the Capt. of the ship, true bravery and courage there. ********************: selfless acts reap karmic rewards. I'd like to thank the folks here for remeinding me about true deadheadism and love and life values. the calvary is coming and the crew came through! our loved one, who we cherish and hold ever so dear in our hearts is doing better in her times of renal failure, her creatinine (sic) levels have actually gone down a bit in the past few weeks, owing to my old lady's ability to whip up low protein, high calorie foods in a very unusual restricted diet. apparently, the lowering of such levels when you only got some use of only one kidney, (her other one went a long time ago, and the limping kidney she has partial use of hass a big stone, ) is very unusual. Well, she is a most special woman, having given life and re-birth to my old lady and me, as well as other family we love. She laughed her cancer away 15 years ago, (well, that and major surgery) and now she is laughing (quite literally) her kidney trouble back into the corner. No easy feat at her ripe age of 78. HAPPILY! More help is on the way and we'll get a few weeks off to head back to our beloved time and space in the musical circus of the tour. just when I was losing all hope of heading east, the sunshine daydream Gods shined on HER, and, the healing kidney beams arrived and have staved off the need for dialysis in the time being. More +++++++++++++ vibes to all! keep 'em bouncing back and forth!! love and peace, cc

Unfortunately, I had to go into the ER last Friday night at 2am. I had a really bad flew for the last 2 days and it got to the point where I had to go in. Apparently, I my liver was severely inflamed due to really high levels of acetaminophen. After they did the catscan, they figured it out. I had to be monitiored and held in the hospital for the whole week. It was really scary because I didn't know if I was going to need a liver transplant or not. Believe it or not, it was not due to anything other than Tylenol at high levels. Luckily, it subsided and I have to be really careful with everything from now on. Due to the Open Heart Surgery last year I already had a week heart. But according to the doctors I now have a really week muscle as well. Even though I had two valves replaced, please say I don't need a defibrillator to put a damper on all this. I will find out next month. Which is when I will be going to see the boys play. So needless to say, I'm kind of bummed right now about the health, dude I'm only 33, but I do know that at least I have a community of people that will send me shining beams of lovin this way! It makes me smile to know that! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

After a major emergency room catastrophy, and a sleepless Saturday night, took her back to the ER this morning, where she was examined this time. Is nothing more dramatic than a deep bruise, including her thigh bone. She has ibuprophen for pain and swelling now (was afraid to give her anything before knew what was wrong with her, thus the sleepless night)and is finally asleep, so the medicine must have helped, or exhaustion caught up with her, or both. In a few days will be as good as new.********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

TigerBone bruises are very sore I got one in college playing football- ouch! Poor thing -in an hour or so when everybody in our house is up we all send good thoughts. Canyon Hang in there- they are developing amazing new treatments for heart muscles and you may be soon growing some new heart cells which will be transplanted in your heart and will help. In the meantime try an anti-inflammatory diet it will help. You definetly will be getting the Mihm households Super Duper Good Vibes Treatment today. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

[spokeswoman]McColl said Andrea Phillips and her family "have felt a tremendous amount of support from the entire nation." "The thoughts, the prayers, the sentiments, the support you've shown has really helped them endure this very difficult situation," McColl said. Still speaking for the captain's wife, McColl added: "She believes she can feel it, and she believes that her husband felt it out there in the middle of the ocean. So thanks to the entire nation, the local community, the state of Vermont, for all your help there." Phillips was being praised for his apparent willingness to put his own life in jeopardy to secure the release of his crew and his ship. [...]Gurnon, who described the captain as "the good shepherd who willingly exchanged his life for the lives of his flock," [...] http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/04/12/somalia.pirates.ordeal/index… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks everybody for helping with this, and positive healing thoughts to all, ......heal, Mena, heal!

I just wanted to thank you all personally for giving me plenty of shining beams of light my way in my time of need. You all made me smile and laugh, as I was reading some of your posts on the forum. All the words of encouragement and love was much needed. I'm doing much better with the liver....just have to be careful, and the heart muscle, we'll see in 2 weeks. I have been feeling much better and am almost back to full SHOW quality (So I'm ready for this awesome tour) I love you Deadheads! You have always been a pillar of strength to me with all your quirky kindness and random acts of good! Thank you! ~peace~ Scotty (Canyon Critter) _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

to my poor car, which was, um, stolen last week. Humorous though the idea may be of Oakland's malefactors stealing a 16-year-old Subaru with wall-to-wall dog hair, living without said Subaru is also getting old. Mind you, this was all somewhat eclipsed last week by a)travel and b)a health scare from which my Rex is now recovered, causing me to be so happy and grateful to the cosmic forces that eh, who cares about the car. But in truth, I miss the car, and so do the dogs. Come home! Thank you.:-)
