    In need of work!!
    I know this economy stinks, but you have one thing going for you that I know of, you seem like a person who "thinks outside the box" as evidenced by your taste in music, so use that skill now when you need it the most! Start now to volunteer at where you want to work. Write letters to specific people in Human resources depts detailing your skills and be prepared to do whatever they want to get you in the door. There are some jobs out there, but companies are not posting them because they will be socked with a million replies, plus they have other staff doing the job now so the longer it takes to hire, the longer they get to keep the money....In a nice way, mention to them that this overload on current employees only breads contempt and the work the others usually do may suffer, and the tasks they are taking on they might not do with the care you would devote to it. Check the obituaries to see where someone worked who passed away, then wait a week or so and send a letter (not mentioning the loss) just a quick note with an offer. Also, tell everyone you know you are looking.....Have your resume ready to roll....Know with all certainty that your dream job is coming your way, then listen to the music and wait.....follow through.......and I bet you will be posting in a few months at how wonderful things went. Best of Luck to you .......although you won't need it...look inside and then project outside..... Much love

    MY MOM
    So sorry to hear about your mom. It is good news it has not spread. My uncle and grandmother both had the lung operation, my grandmother's had spread but the operation bought her time...my uncle was not so lucky. I just read your post that you lived near or in Erie, PA. I moved from NH to Erie in Feb last year. I was so lonely there and although I liked my apt and the lake sure is beautiful, I missed my family, the ocean and thought there were no deadheads, so at the end of summer, I moved back to NH. I sincerely hope everything goes well for your mom. Please know I will keep her in my prayers and send good wishes your way, since we were kinda like neighbors even though we didn't know it haha. God Bless

    Her Pulmonary Dr., diagnosed her with lung cancer, but with all the other tests he determined it has not spread anywhere else yet. He said it is operalble with a high success rate!! Her next step is to meet with the Surgeon to see if she is able to go through such a surgery, and to answer any questions she might have to help her make a decision on what to do. With your help, hopefully she will be a good candidate for the surgery and will choose to go that route, otherwise her pulmonary Dr. said it will spread rapidly.Peace

this from Gans hisself: "Hey all - thanks for the kind thoughts! I am in a hospital in Carson City, Nevada. It turned out not to be pericarditis, but a "mild to moderate" heart attack. Last night I had an angioplasty and I now have three stents in my heart. Had a long meeting with the cardiologist this morning. He expects I will make a more or less complete recovery. I woke up yesterday morning in Lee Vining CA, in a motel overlooking Mono Lake. My plan was to drive out into the Basin & Range to visit Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, but I felt kinda weird after breakfast and so I sat in my hotel room until checkout time, hoping the bellyache would pass. Still feeling pretty rocky, I decided to head for the nearest city rather than go ahead with my middle-of-nowhere plan. When I hit Carson City two hours later, I was not feeling much better so I went on into the ER. " more healing vibes and ++++ vibes for all! love&peace.

Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts. We spoke at length with the cardiologist today, and he is confident that my recovery will be pretty close to 100%. I have been (for the most part) doing the right things, lifestyle-wise, for several years, but my genetic predisposition to heart disease means I have to start taking some meds. I had to cancel a few gigs, but I will be on my feet and ready to rock with the Reptiles at the Starry Plough in Berkeley on September 4 - extra poignant for me, since it is a memorial for our longtime partner Al Feldstein, who died of a heart attack on June 21.

Candy is sedated and on a ventilator which sounds worse than it is. This allows her body to rest and the machine actually forces more oxygen and medicine into her lungs. Her temperature is normal and the bacteria count is dropping . It will be a long journey however I feel more hopeful than yesterday. In speaking with the ER and ICU nurses this is the beginning of a Tidal wave of Flu to Pneumonia cases. By midnite they had admitted 5 other patients all under 55 with the same problem, Get your swine flu shots and stay on top of anyone feeling sick and not wanting to go to the doctor. Thanks to all our extended family! Love Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Well today we all including the wonderful staff were smiling a little-her oxygen level continues to rise and her temp. dropped a little more.It is strange how the terrible becomes routine-When I walk into the ICU unit I look at the monitors to see what her oxygen/blood, breathing and blood pressure rates are. As I suit up and put on my gloves and mask I ask the attending nurse how the latest X ray was and the PEEP level of the respirator. A week ago I knew nothing of these terms or what the numbers meant. Now I ask as casually as I would if I asking for cream in a cup of coffee. It is surreal. I am looking at ( this a wild guess) thousands of dollars of trained professionals per hour in the ICU, millions of dollars worth of equipment and medicines. In one ICU in a hospital that 4.

I just read my post of Oct 5 and today it seems so long ago. By the 7th Candy's situation was getting worse the H1N1 was still showing up in tests her white cell count was low and her oxygenination level was slowly dropping. The Doctors told me to to be prepared for the worse and call the kids home. That afternoon the doctor in the ICU in charge of infectous diseases asked a friend at the CDC and The FDA to release an experimental anti-viral drug. It stops the virus from reproducing. They flew it down by courier from Atlanta and that afternoon they started administering it. Now it was literally a matter of keeping her alive long enough to allow her body to kill the H1N1 off. Sunday and Monday were tough I sat by her through much of the day holding her hand. Monday afternoon her oxygen level began to pick upBy Tuesday morning her temp had dropped her oxygen level increased even more. Tuesday afternoon the doctors and staff thought her lungs were sounding better. The medicine had worked. Each day has shown an improvement. She is not out of the woods yet but I think We are real close to saying she has beaten the H1N1 and the pneumonia. Thanks all for all of your love and thoughts.
