    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?

    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!

Lame! Maybe it was the rich kids living up on Skyline Blvd. going on a midnight jaunt. Karma will catch up to the perpetrator....Why would you do that to our wonderful Mary? Well I'm glad to hear that the other things worked out though. May the four winds blow you safely home Subaru! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not, and if not please excuse me and forgive me. This is my husbands account, and I know how much he liked looking around on here, but I have a problem. Billy's been in and out of the hospital since late October, and he's been in a sort of a funk for the last couple of months. I was wanting to find something to cheer him up, so I ordered some things for him in the "store" on this web site. It's been almost 2 weeks, and haven't received anthing, and I can't get anyone to reply to me when I send a message to customer service. Is there a specific person I can contact to see what the hold up is? Billy is such a lover of anything that has to do with the Grateful Dead, and me myself, well I guess I'll never understand it. I guess in a way, opposites do attract. See us standing together, and I've been told no one would believe that we were together. Anyway, if anyone here could lead me in the right direction, I would be forever thankful. Shannon

first lemme say what a thoughtful person you are to try and find something that you know your husband has an interest in.....not everyone is so lucky to be in that type of relationship. prolly all you can really do is go to the home page here and click on store, which i'm sure you have done as you placed an order. i f you go to the bottom of the page you will find help and customer service...click on "help" for instructions.....good luck..i have had problems with some orders and others went thru without a hitch.

Hey Now Friends I am asking for some good vibes for my teenage son, and my whole community. Sorry if this is long-winded. My son has always loved the GD music I played (constantly) - I sang him to sleep (badly) with Ripple when he was a baby & he used to make me rewind Fire on the Mountain and play it over and over when he was about four. He had always said how bummed out he was that he would never get to see the Grateful Dead and have that experience. So when the current Dead tour came around we got some cheap "at least I'm in the show" tix for Albany and Sunday in Worcester. We had a fantastic time. Both shows were fun and he said the Scarlet Fire on Sunday was one of the happiest moments of his life. On Monday that good vibe was shattered. As we were driving home to our small town he received a text message informing him that a friend of his had taken his own life over the weekend. My son was / is devastated. He says that the greatest day of his life was followed by the worst. He can't make sense of it, and neither can I, or anyone else in our community. This was a brilliant, talented, well-liked kid, and nobody can understand how this could happen. So I'm calling out for a cosmic hug for my boy... but also my whole town, and the family of the boy who took his life. I can not begin to imagine what they are going through. Peace to all ~ hug your kids...

Warm healing thoughts for you, your son and your whole town. I hope your son's friend at least found the peace he was seeking. Pay attention to your friends, folks. You never know when that funny snort, that odd glance, that moment of wry introspection is really a signal of Something Deeper. Just because it's usually nothing serious doesn't mean that this might not be that one time when all they really needs is a genuine smile from a friend to get them back in the game. Smile on your brother, and your sister, too. Try to love one another right now. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Mornduvt Our thoughts are with you and your son. Speaking from 20 years experience of listening to my wife Candy(PHd and currently has 3 people on suicide watch) work with many who thought life would be better if they ended it--It won't be. Your friends and parents will never get over it. The pain many think goes away by taking that step comes back and hurts those that really care multiplied uncountable times. Perhaps suggesting that your son become a student counselor to work with fellow students may bring something meaningful and helpful out of this tragedy. Watch the movie "Ordinary People" and talk about it .Your son probably also may harbor feelings of anger at his friend and perhaps feels guilty about it. I am going to sound harsh and if I offend don't take it personally.- Suicide is a selfish act. It is one thing to be in terrible physical pain 80 years old with nothing to look forward to. Adolescent suicide is usually an act of anger towards those people which the child is having a conflict with. It may be no fault of the child and unfair (in the case of bullying) however killing one self is not the answer.It most cases therapy or a very brief hospital stay and willingness to work on improving things would be far better. Sometimes chemical imbalances may account for the depression but not always. If you want to talk off line let me know. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

for all those Subaru-come-home beams. After a saga that would well exceed the parameters of the Positive Vibes topic, the duly found and repaired dogmobile will be home on Monday. It wouldn't have made it without you.

I lost my father-in-law that way, the week after Jerry died. It has to be even harder when it's a young person, someone who, given more time, may have learned to cope. I was nearly killed by a drunk driver (0n my way to see GD at Cal Expo in '84) and still can't walk right, etc. While we may be scarred, we can't stop. The good moves us forward and we learn.

Many thanks to all for the kind words and warm feelings... I could almost hear your voices in the darkness, and I absolutely could feel the vibes... and I leaned on them, and they held me up. Over the past month I have been blown away by the power of the positive pull of this community we share - in a way I had forgotten in the past decade as I got older and I admit... lost touch... I thank you all for helping to see all of us through this hardship - and for showing one old head that it wasn't just a dream after all... I love you all. And I am glad Marye's car came home too... ...& I have been trying to post this all morning, but I think my server is not cooperating - so my apologies if it pops up six times...

for helping us remember those who are so far away from home. Also may the spirits of all those who died in war be at peace. Don't ever forget our veterans. And civilian wartime deaths as well. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake
