    I have to be careful in sending out the beams, afraid some of my innate negativity will leak out. That said, hope things work out for the best, Ted. Be looking for you on the vines, bro' Even if you are holding back IPAs ;^D ************************************************ I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com ************************************************

    I'd like to thank all of you for being assertive, innovative and expressive within this forum over the past couple of years. Tomorrow, I'll be in surgery and hope that I return to your flavorful posts, even if you're Republican. David, if you're out there somewhere, see if you can find a recording from New Orleans > 10/18-19/80. If the anesthesia isn't too strong and the slicer isn't hungover, expect my return. If not, grdaed73 can have my double imperial IPA,s downstairs in the fridge. Good luck, God bless, and long live the Grateful Dead~!!

    Thank you for you're post, it shows we all have stuff that sucks and we can't deal with. I used to be a regular at a chat place called wemissjerry.org. Haven't posted or chatted in awhile. The funny thing is that we all need our time and space to figure it all out. What I do know is that the spark that was kindled in your heart for what most call "Dead" is acutally alive. I've never been through what you are speaking, have heard alot of indepent contractors that have gone there, but what you are going through is not irregular. Don't stay at home, don't be reclusive, and please let your light SHINE! Most people don't know of the Grateful Dead and what's known is either Jerry died or it's a Hippy Community. I know this...I wasn't born in the 60's, nor in a commune, nor did I waste my youth....You are a part of something bigger than that, which is what you know is to be true! There is more love in this place of existance than you know. I've been in the deepest darkest of holes, yet I knew I was meant for more, why? Not because of me but because there are truly people in the world that care. You are one of the few light that beacons from every spectrum of the universe...so just LET IT SHINE. Being a youngin I only understand a little, but I'm sure that all the love you find in this place WILL NOT FADE AWAY!

    Alrighty then chubs
    Well first off positive vibes Look man get out of the house, don't lock yourself into a cell and shut others out. Find others with your same experience and talk about it. If no counseling is available to you. You need to vent holding stuff in only creates anger and self sorrow. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Get out go to a show seems like there is alot of the scene out there get away for a few days. I know we alllike to have our higher conciousness or altered whatever. But please my brother don't drink yourself into a cave. Now that that is said. I know the experience and am sure have been in much worse situations than any KBR personnel. Please don't take that as a personal strike against you. It's not. I'm sure the thing is something you wish to contend with. death is a daily deal contractors are not exempt from the horrors and are targets as well. So with all that said and you start thinking who the fuck is this guy to tell me. My name is SFC Dwight R. Laporte am on my 3rd tour in Iraq. My job is combat engineer. I parachuted in Bashur Iraq in 03. returned in 06 to Mosul and am again currently in Mosul. I could go into great detail of war but don't think this is tjhe place. War sucks but is a reality we all have to deal with. everyone is affected either directly or indirectly. Have friends or family members who have been here etc. Maybe for me I've just kinda built of an internal defense. Sometimes nothing seems to matter, I always say if no body's dead it ain't that serious. I've been posting on here alot for the last couple month's cause we are getting ready to go home and have toned down some. Have made some grate friends here and hope to meet them somewhere one day. It helps me cause I a freakin deadhead and we all relate. And like you off the bus for a long time. I catch a fest when I can but won't be able to be completly free for 3 more years. I've gotten so much recent info about what is going on these days here. And like you when Jerry passed I kinda just lost touch with it all. Still listened of course but stayed in the Army. Anyway what did you do with all those big dollars KBR paid you, ha ha. Look man write me anytime. I look forward each day hoping some of my dead.net friends dropped me a line or responde to a post in a goofy way is alot of fun and is a release for me. So to all of you thanks. And chubs you can get past the bad but doing it alone is not the way to go believe me

Thanks for finding time to give us this good news. Maybe Deadhead power has helped just a little. I really hope Candy continues to get better and can be home soon.

Thanks so much.I print out your comments and read them to her. Hopefully today she will be awake when I read them. She is doing a little better. They began to lower the amount of sedatives and hope to have her awake today. They may try to remove the tube going down her throat Tuesday morning. We got official notice from the CDC she has been H1N1 free for 96 hours. The experimental drug that saved her life was Relenza. It was previously only used as an inhalent. Doctor Levine had to move mountains to get the FDA to release it in liquid form. So if a loved one is in the hospital tell the doctor about it. It really stopped the H1N1 from reproducing. I can't believe it has been over three weeks since she started getting real sick. We are lucky to have such good caring friends like you to help out. Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever....

What can I say? Let a therapist sleep for 17 days and first thing she has to be on her cell phone with her "Froggy" voice checking with her patients. The nurses had to take it away from her after a few hours.The Allman Bros were simply amazing damn they sure can rock sounded as good as they did 20- years ago. I don't have too many memories of the 60's shows I saw of them. Best part went into the casino spent 6 bucks on the slots won $46 and promptly left. Enough for Double Jack Daniels and Coca Cola for my friend and I. We want to thank you again for all of the well wishes and kind words and prayers. The Mihm family And the road goes on forever....

Hey everyone...I've been completely remiss about signing on and spreading positive vibes, and for that I apologize. I miss you guys. Anyway, school is going well for Marjie and I both, however we have hit a point of diminishing returns living were we are, so it's back to Alabama for us. We are excited as all get out to be moving back home. One thing is that we have friends who are not like family but are indeed family to us in Mobile, and that is something we've missed since we started our wagon train up to the mountains. We've seen and learned and experienced and now it is time to go. Our projected moving date is the second week of February. This of course breaks from my own personal norm of giving myself 24 or 36 hours of preparation to move. Usually I decide to move, rent a truck, and while I'm loading it I decide where to go...this time we are doing our homework and whatnot first. Guess we be growing up. I did my first professional photography job. I photographed candles for a local soy candle company to use on their website. Unfortunately they decided not to pay me citing that I am in school and was working there as a student. Sucks...especially when they initially promised to pay me to do the job. It's a bunch of nonsense, but needless to say our leaving here isn't going to be as difficult as it once would have been. It is good experience though. I sent my first "cease from using my copyrighted work" letter. Still don't know what is going to happen. Either they have to pay me or they have to figure out how to shoot a couple thousand photos of candles real quick. On the up side...we have a friend in Mobile who is a working photographer too busy to handle her work load. She has been looking for someone to partner with. On a side note, she is actually the person who bought our house in Mobile, so when we go visit we hang out on our old deck. With any luck we'll be able to find a place walking distance between us. In the meantime, I've been saving up and investing in things like cameras and flashes and printers and computers and software, so we should be set to hit the ground running when we get back down to the gulf coast. Sorry for the long note, I haven't been around in a while...but I wanted to send out good vibes to a friend who is out hitchhiking right now. She went from here to Mobile with us, then hitched out to Cali, up the coast...Oregon, and then over to Jersey. I saw her yesterday for five minutes and she was off like a flash. I think she is headed down to Florida. Anyway, we expect to see her down in Alabama after we move, so she's gonna remain on the road this whole time. She's really got it in her, and she's a hell of a writer too. Okay, time to go...I love you guys...Happy Holidays, and all you travelers keep it between the lines in this ice. Later Gators
