    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?!!

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?

    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 say that it has been a long week in my household is an understatement. After a much longer wait than we would have liked we found out that the pathology results on my son were clear of all cancerous/precancerous cells. My wife and I are incredibly relieved at this point. Thank you to everyone who sent prayers and positive vibes our way. I know that the warmth and support you have shown towards me and my family will come back to all of you. Though I am Christian, I firmly believe in Karma, and that is why I know each of you will be blessed for the kindness you have shown to me and mine. Again, thank you.McB "...the powerful plays goes on, and you may contribute a verse" -Walt Whitman-

Certainly great news for McB and family. My experience today: I hadn't had any type of surgery since kindergarten when my tonsils were yanked. The operation today was like a finely-tuned assembly line from the receptionist to the wheelchair trip out the door 3 hours later. As the anesthetist wheeled me into the op room, I swear some guy in fishnets and a nurse with begonias, tucked into her curls, went twirling past me!! I'm thankful to all who expressed good wishes. With Love & Peace!! >> Gr8fulTed

peace through musicHi and positive Love vibes to all in need and not in need. Cause " all you need is Love". My 30 year old son Norman is in the hospital in a coma and on a ventilator for the last week needs your prayers and positive vibes right now. He has been to over 400 Grateful Dead shows when he was younger and he is like a big teddy bear. And he is so full of love and kindness, whenever someone was ill and he would pray for them, well he seemed to have a hotline. I haven't had a chance to be home to write but much love to all and Happy Grateful Thanksgiving Day.

& all those in need of Positive Vibes :) Marshun ~ Your family's journey to not only hear your daughter speak but to be there for every emotion through the years is so moving to me that I've wanted to reply for days & just cant find the right words. So really, it makes me proud to know that there are those who fight for things I never even consider, when it seems everyone around them lets life get in the way :) PEACE to You & YOURS! Happy thanksgiving

Thankful be-well, get-well peaceful vibes for Norman, and a big hug for you, Kid. Poor puppy!!Wish her the strongest love and cancer-fighting vibes I can. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Hope we can all take a moment or two to think about what we are thankful for- all of our blessings, amongst all of this woe and chaos. Extra especially thankful for Deadnet people and marye today; because without them, we wouldn't have this media to connect with each other. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Terrorism in Mumbai, including @ Taj Mahal, have left lots of people & hostages dead. Indian commandoes, possibly w Israeli help, have gone after the terrorists to try and stop them and free remaining hostages. (Mumbai is also known as Bombay). not quite sure how to define the terrorists, although Pakistani/Islamic influence has been suggested, with main targets being Brits, Americans, Jews.... according to news I've read.

not the Taj Mahal, from what I could tell on TV. Pretty horrible scene, though one of the things that's coming out in the interviews with locals is that there are terrorist attacks by the boatload there and this one just happens to be a lot more grandiose.

unfortunately India has had A LOT of terror attacks in recent years. and this one was not at the Taj Mahal Palace in Agra like mary said. One of the luxury hotels in Mumbai, a historic place, was named the Taj Mahal Hotel or Taj Hotel. Plenty of places are named Taj something all over India. This shit happened in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, as Ted pointed out. Mumbai is the richest Indian city and their center of commerce, like their Wall Street is there. YES, it has been reported that the terrorists were asking people to identify their citizenship, and seemed to be targeting Americans and Brits, clearly with the attack on the Jewish center in Mumbai, they also were targeting Jewish people. This leads me to think think is some kind of pan-Islamic attack; They also shot up the train station which is primarily locals. Some cafe frequented by back-packers was also hit, as well as the luxury hotels. This may be the first case of terror in India that was, partly, clearly directed at westerners. another side problem is that this attack may be 'blamed' on Pakistan (true or not) and stir up more bullshit between them over Kashmir. There have been suggestions at some link with that, though... they caught at least one gunman, so hopefully they will get some 'intelligence' out of him. When asked what country are you from? I ALWAYS answer Darkstar. no joke. ++++ vibes for all folks over there, their families, and friends.

if more people actually gave a F? Here's one maybe you didn't see coming. Mucho positive vibes to intolerant morons the world over who fail to see the inherent idiocy in attempting to violently inflict their religious beliefs on others, that their eyes and minds might be opened, and they learn to grant to others the respect they seek for themselves. Peace and tolerance are not the goal, they are the way. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

or is it hear,hear?? i'll send some of those type vibes out ! now back to that "F"... what could be more positive than a GOOD "F"? and if everyone got one, then gave one back maybe it could start a movement. and if everyone was busy getting and giving than there really wouldn't be time for the aforementioned "inherent idiocy"now would there!

...I have decided that the "F-U-C-etc" vine is indeed appropriate for this forum, as I am most definitely in need. To be more specific, a long hot sloppy toe-curling one.

IS "K" whats that spell, what's that spell, Well c'mon all you big strong men another country got it's self in a terrible jam, just over near the other stans. So put down your books and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lot of fun And it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for. Well anyway that tune goes through my head regularly and I ad-lib to whatever the sit is. We have made alot progress on the global war on terrorism. But as we all see it is not over and may never because of idiotic fanatics. And as we see no one is immune. Maybe that's the problem they don't F enough. Everyday I read the star's and stripes and shake my head to all the dumb shit the world over, like people dying at wal-mart being trampled and womens child lost to injury, to morans shoot each other in toy store WTF is going on. The India deal and here in Iraq the average is 2 american deaths per day. Sometimes man I just want to go away to the moutains and say fuck it, I did my part and isolate myself from society and only relate with animals trees and well of course deadheads. But that really wouldn't be a way to still give hope and peace to others after I have put down my rifle. Would kinda be like quitting. Anyway heres some positve vibes to all to look out for each other no matter who it is. Most of us know that just a little love and light goes a long way. Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you World pollution, theres no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you
