    New Pictures of Jerry Garcia
    I am happy to say that in the soon to be released Treating Yourself issue # 19 that we have 2 never before published pictures of Jerry Garcia. 1 is of Jerry Garcia in Mickey’s Barn studio. He worked on the soundtrack to the film "Zabriskie’s Point" soundtrack. And the other 1 is of Steve Brown and Jerry Garcia at Golden Gate Bridge. The photo was taken by Jim Marshall during the Rolling Stone Magazine’s 10th Anniversary cover shoot. All previously published issues of Treating Yourself is available for FREE as a PDF download and this issue will be available as a FREE download Jan.1/10 http://www.treatingyourself.com/dhtml/issues.php Take Care and Peace Marco Renda Federal Exemptee Publisher Treating Yourself The Alternative Medicine Journal weedmaster@treatingyourself.com

    These "idiots" who are "governing" us should all get together and eat a big bag of mushrooms, maybe they'd wake up. And they should "legalize it" (pot) quickly so people who want real change can get in there and try to clean up their mess. Corporate Wall St. capitalism has run its course and is the Devil's best friend. There's about 20 years left until the 2000th anniversary of Jesus death and everythings looking right on track for his return by then, I'm not too optimistic about us turning this world around but ya gotta keep trying. The next 20 years will be the most important in human history. And I saw a new heavens, and a new earth Love, hope, charity, faith, and more lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove! and peace

    mindless lemings??
    anyone who thinks ANY politician has the right answers and blindly votes for them because of supposed change fits that description to a "t". you can't trust any of the money grubbing backstabbing lying cheating rotten nogood twofaced thieving bloodsucking bullcrap artists.......i'm still trying to figure out how, why, and when words like "liberal" and "conservative" became four-lettered. one means to share, the other to save some for later...both ideas have merit, fer crine outloud. I will say though that the government does not need to get any bigger...and it needs to get it's damn hands out of my pockets, i liberally share with those that need it, when i can, but i reserve the right to conserve for later.......(grumble....mutter.....^!*&$#@ politicians.....)

    Hey Lame O Gonzo :-)
    I believe in moderation and living within your means as well. What set me off was your use of Conservative talking points like "Great " and defending the Faux News Tea Bag movement. The tea baggers are not simply physcally responsible citizens that are "outraged" by overspending. They are mindless lemings who are following the commands of the right wingers in order to derail any meaningful legislation proposed by the Obama Administration. This includes fighting against green energy, stricter emisions for vehicles, polution controls and the corporatization of our economy and our military for that matter. The health care "debate" is not even discussing the issues. It is centered on lies and distortions. Anyway, this debate will not end any time soon. Peace - David

    Hey Grade A Deadhead
    Boros thinks I'm a communist and was redbaiting me, quoting Lenin and you think I'm a conservative. Actually, I'm neither. But I do go ballistic from time to time about about this stuff and usually my point is: The Repubs/Demos are two sides of the same coin and we need to throw out the small change. You ask me what I'm proposing? Nothing. I'm not running for anything. But I know you can't work from within this system to get meaningful change. You can see some of my posts in the Obama topic (if its still there). I also tend toward the ecological catastrophe looming on the immediate horizon. So, if I had a position, I'd be talking about how to decrease our lifestyle and use less plastic and stay the fuck out of our cars as much as possible. We need to stop living beyond our means in this country. As my previous post about the 'The Great Enabler' stated, Obama is just postponing the inevitable pain that is coming. At some point the Chinese and others will stop buying Treasuries and the dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency (giving us many ways to manipulate how the US pays back those debts) and America will have to face the music OR JUST START PRINTING MONEY WITH NOTHING TO BACK IT UP. That will create pure inflation, triple digit stuff, very quickly. If we live on less maybe we will become responsible citizens of the world instead of the ruling class of an empire. We'll spend more time with our family, friends and neighbors and less time chasing a lifestyle that doesn't bring us any happiness. Making do with less doesn't mean you are less. ~ The work of his day measures more than the planting and growing ~ (Hope everybody is enjoying this year's crop under the harvest moon)

    Hey Lamogonzo..............
    Just like most "conservatives" , I am hearing no suggestions from you on how this mess should be handled. I hope you are not emplying that Obama created this recession. (I was laid off last August). I agree that the stimulus package is hard to swollow, but it does a hell of a lot more for our economy than Bushes blank check "refunds" he sent out. He may as well have burned the cash. Despite what those Tea Bag wacos would have you believe, these "bail outs" are not simply an open ended plan and the government is NOT trying to take over everything or put private companies out of business. In fact, some of the banks have already begun repaying the money. I heard that Bank of America is desperate to pay back Billions so they can be free of any government involvement. Cash for clunkers was a huge success and has stimulated the car industry. OK, don't get me started or I'll have to explain to you why the public option for healthcare is the only viable way we will create competition and lower prices. Put that in your tea pot and smoke it!

hi, does anybody out there know if the Grateful Dead's banner still hangs in the rafters at Madison Square Garden. I used to go to N.Y. Ranger hockey games there when I was a little kid and started seeing concerts there when I was about 12. I think I was at the shows when the banner went up and was never so proud to be a "deadhead" and see it hanging up there with all the great Ranger and Knicks teams.

i know there is some awards or something topic somewhere, but I forgot where and I'm too lazy to look... BUT I nominate our very own Cosmic Badger for crreating the BEST POST EVER and FRIGGING FUNNIEST POST EVER award!!!! re-printed here WITHOUT permission: On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said: "making the perfect Martini ......the thing is that when Galileo decided that the earth went round the sun he was thinking in the same way that Timothy Leary did except in a different dimension many years later..this thought occurred to me while I was inventing a new recipe for beef stroganoff during the brief period that I worked as a sous-chef under the Great Escoffier. I tend to find that I have many thoughts like this especially when I am in the presence of the many great people who have crossed my path during their lives..but I digress. I think it may be something to do with my genes that, as the great Darwin said, ensure that only the fittest survive...but of course that depends on what you mean by survival..it could be in the literal sense, but me personally, I like to consider survival as a metaphysical extension of my id..in that way I suppose that I am a sort of renaissance man but transported somehow to the present day. In this way I can very much relate to that wonderful Grateful Dead song ..how does it go...'my time coming any day don’t worry ‘bout me no’ ..of course I met the great John Perry Barlow once, or rather my Albanian nephew met someone who knew him on a chairlift on a skiing holiday in Venezuela..talking of which, that Hugo Chavez is quite a dude I should say..sticking it to Uncle Sam the way he does, but as for myself I have been rereading the writings of Sir Oswald Mosely; if you read his words carefully as I have done you might find that he has more truths to share with us all than some would have you think. Well as I have always said “you can’t have too much of a good thing” so I ‘ll be sure to let you know some more of my thoughts on this and other matters real soon. Peace y’all." On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said this!!! just thinking of the title makes me laugh. thanks man, I'm gonna Cheerfully Chuckle all night. peace.

Happy birthday Badger!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cosmic Badger Cosmic Badger what's up with you You travel so far, that's what you do To 'WhereverthefuckitisStan' you flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Cooking up a pot of badger stew Light the fire -- put it under you Out the window a Great Tit flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Now you have just one more chance We all wanna see the Badger dance Trippin out and in a trance Poke my eyes, with a lance Meeting you in an airport bar Looking at the sky we see Dark Star Drinking beers all during the day My ears are clogged, 'what did you say?' You said you're a badger or are you a skunk Don't really know but there's a funk Is it you or is it me? Don't know, but CC's gotta pee CC Joe, the cops are on to you You are taking so damn long in the loo What you got there in your hand? What comes out is dry like sand You're feeling that 'itch' aren't you? Your old lady knows what you wanna do Poor old CC, please don't feel blue Turning her back she's just stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Maybe later, she says with a sigh Old CC is starting to cry No worries, mate. She's joking with you Get in bed, she says to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you KIND TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here's to another 50 years! image hosted by ImageVenue.com

the ugliest badger I have ever seen and I have seen quite a few having lived in Wisconsin for years. I think cosmicbadger may still be recovering from the culture shock when I had him look at all sorts of youtube videos of Wisconsin Badger fans and their alternate ego's as Packer Cheeseheads. Made him listen to lots of bad polka. I think it gave him a better understanding of my upbringing and outlook on life and allowed him to truly explore his deep hidden essense.
