Hey Eric: In as much as the New Rev. is gonna break the news to the entire flock this Sunday; I have started an all out effort to save what I can from hitting the trash can. Heres my question: do you archive any 60's War Shit?...If you do, your' gonna wanna' kiss me full on the lips for this one. Dig This: while scrounging through the nooks and cranies in my attempt to save any pieces of Peace Church history, I ran across four cans of film (reels) that seem to have been compiled by the Fuckin' North Vietnamees back when The Peace Church was really cookin'. These may be boot-legs that never made the nightly news (for sure)...anyway, They are 16 MM Magnetic full coat S. Tracks. Charlie must have been doing the talking; as one film comes with a poorly type written translation. The titles are: "Days With The Youth Shock Brigades" and "Actualities: Vietnam" (Haiphong). The written break down for the second film includes: News Vietnam 1972. Commentary, Interview, Etc,..Alert In Hanoi (May 1972), Pictures of the offensive in the South: May 1972: The Quang Ngai Plain. (Between Hue and Saigon: Quang Ngai). Ho Chi Minh Trail, May 1972. Commentary, etc,.. Speech By the Mothers' Union. An Interview with General Giap. Commentary, etc... Interview, Etc,. In closing: Eric, if this is somethin' that you could get off on, or direct to the proper source, ..its yours for keeps. Pick it up at my place Mister. See ya then.

My old man won't bite anyone (I don't think!!). One of our dogs might, he is a rescued dog. Someone put a nail through his nose with a nail gun when he was a puppy. He's wonderful but it takes hours to get to know him. The others bark alot for new people. (Again, I don't include my husband, I don't think). Unless you've got hours to spend the T & A is better. Seriously if I wasn't working when you came through these parts, It'd be something else to meet up somehow.

Big day in publishing, I got the "True Story" today containing my lastest story, which they called "Three Weeks Before Our Wedding.......My Fiancee Disappeared." Talk about editing, you never know what they will call the story or what names they give to the characters. They always change the names of peoples, places, companies etc. just in case the story is really real. They rarely edit for content, although sometimes you can tell they edited a few lines to make the text fit on a page. The one time they edited for content, in a story about prison, I had the narrator look around the visiting room and see people of all colors and ages. I guess that was too controversial, they just had her look around the room and see lots of people or something like that. I guess you are supposed to pretend black people don't get sent to prison (in droves).

Hammand,..Imam..Im' no defeatist; I plan on apprentising with pristene Stainless Steel guns until I get my Licence to Thrill...then and only then will I get diabolicle. "WOW" The mere glimps of Bernhard's "Mad-Max" equipment would made most grown men weep. He's listed on the web under Tattoo Machines..(enter at your own risk).... Hey Nicole, again..thanks for the info/article..it really charged me up..why cant we hear that good shit on T.V.???...oh ya,..commercializm, I forgot. (The truth just dont sell)...Well the Michigan kids split this A.M., man, they had the place smellin' like a girl's locker room,..kept blowin' fuses and trippin' breakers with all of those hair dryers. Panties everywhere...It was heaven. Now I can get back to AsEverWas. (great little screen play)..Hey, the 6th Precinct just called and wanted to know what the fuck was happening in reference to the upcomming (unauthorized/illegal) Peace March thats starting from 135 West 4th Street (ring a bell?) and marching as far as they "Think" that they can get. As always: we didnt' know what beer was. Hmmm...Hows this folks?..you all will hear about it before they do! (such a deal!)...more "Nows/News" as it "Happens". Cool?

Oh, man, now I'm really confused. Who am I today?

Steve, what can I say. Quite often I'm an asshole, but yesterday I had them lined up to punch my lights out. Even made a woman almost cry yesterday. Damn. I get home, the dogs come running up waggin tails and looking all glad to see me, they get one sniff and piss on my leg! My stars are misaligned, my chakras are crossed, my panties are bunched. I owe you one road trip care package. That, or the truck stop enchilada of your choice.

Not being able to stand my own company, I trotted down to the used book store last nite and picked up Alan Watts's 'Behold the Spirit', a nice hardbound "Between Heaven and Hell' by Willie Blake, and Michael McClure's 'Huge Dreams'. And, down to the local lyberry I found Suskind's 'Perfume', which looks good. Thanks to who recommended it. Anyway, have a good weekend, folks. via con queso.

Nicole,

That Chronicle article hit it exactly. It was like somebody standing in front of me, after several cups of coffee, just telling what he thinks of the ignorance of the current crop of dangerous white guys in charge, and how he deals with it. I sent him a note thanking him for that one and passed his words on to some others.

Fuckin' "A" Nicole!..that article is Bomb!!...Work at it??..Ya!!..It aint easy!...wanna piss the Suzanna's of this world off?? (try fuckin' a Preacher)...Hey, It is personal,...Only YOU can change it. Ya,..pump up the vibe...lets all fuck-off big time and then share it with the world...Hey, Pat: I only have two enemys in this world; and I havent had the pleasure of meeting either one of them. (we met on this web site...and they may be one in the same person for all that I know) that being said: As the man who holds the title of being "Whats wrong with America", I can truthfully say that my unknown friends here on the site outweigh the bad vibes and trecherous deeds of the dime-dropping, ape-throwers of and curdled milk squad, who continually try to ban me from the Olympic Games. Im' dumb and mute,..but I aint deaf. I can hear the written words and read the spoken ones. I can see with my hands and feel with my eyes. (Its a super-human trait)..Hey, a Mobile Guerrilla Tattoo unit?...hold the phone, I dont have a power supply, tubes, needle bars etc. etc....and I havent laid one line with any Big Iron yet. I aint no Spider Webb yet. But thanks for the volunteerism...thats the spirit. Now as far as vintage torture equipment, sure, my stuff is comming direct from Bernhard's Garage Irons. He's a fifty one year old mad scientist out of Copenhagen who has a little wooden house that he retreats to near the water. Bad back and neck, on a small pension. He lovingly cranks out rough-cut, soulful, funky, gritty, home-spun copies of Paul Roger's original design Tattoo Machines. Dont panic!...These babys are like harleys; tear em' down, rebuild em' & fine tune em. (they will be covered by a baggie while in use anyway)...I have plans on stripping them down, sand blasting them, de-burring them and shooting them with a few coats of cold galvanized spray. (anti-rust...heavy zinc content) but will clear-coat them after, in order to sanitize them before use. The top-heavy effect can be somewhat countered by using a hand knurled old style heavy needle tube. I may sand blast the "Black Widow" liner and hit it with some black "Wrinkle Paint" and bake it in the oven. We used to paint the cylinders of our bikes with that stuff. Just paint it on, kick em' over and let the engines heat up to fry it on.. In closing: Tattooing is like Riding: "Dont Let yer' Irons rust or your Colors fade".

I was just a litle girl when i heard about this Love Generation group and up until high school and college i've been following up any publication i can hold on about the movement. i like particularly the music of that characterize the era, the outfit and the outlook of the people who in one way or another became part of it. I was never into drugs but i do practice some meditation to help me cope with stress. I hope this site will go on to preserve the legacy of that exceptionally cool era in history. i think those hotheaded leaders like Bush would need more of your stuff. more power!!! MEENAH

Hey folks, Was out of town for a couple days, Rakin' in some legal tender.I missed out on some good jive madness it looks like. Silent Steve- Congrats on the catch and release of that "STRIPED BASS" I can't see why SPONGE BOB is getting such extreme reactions, I thought everyone loved curdled milk. I got my "panther" tatoo in 68 or 69 in San Diego by old doc Webb. That may have been the beginning of my Hep C as I came down with Hep B wweeks after that. Of course it may have been also helped along by me conspiring against myself by choosing to inject some illicet chemicals into my arms.My Ol' Panther could definately use a touch up, It comes from the old days of India ink and limited colors. Silent Steve- Sounds like you got my drift. Things were definately most "unreal" from my perspective back then also.

Later, Patman

...speaking of tatoos...the dragon on my back needs some touching up (I got it done in 1972/3) and when I went into the place on Christopher st for an estimate he told me $300 but when he found out it was originally done by Don Ed Hardy he said he'd do it for free for the privledge of working on one of his originals...

Maybe we could find someone to sponsor our road trip as research for our collective screen play on "how long does it take to fix a truck?"

Hey Sam; to answer your' question in short: (without sounding like a smart-assed know-it-all),...I am under the definate oppinion that the "Old Irons" are stricktly for those who can handle them. And I plan on being one of "Those". My tattoos will be all original design and no coockie-cutter off the wall stensils. If the punks want the funny pages tattooed on their arms they can go to my compeditor. My Mr. Natural, Gypsy Joker, His & Hers Scull days are long gone. Hey, Im' soundin' down right mature!...(scary aint it)...Hey, the finest Tattooing that I ever laid eyes on was done by a Fine lady up in SeaBrook New Hampshire.

Eileen, the old Irons suck up the heat and the vibration as well as provide a more solid current flow. No matter what the frames are made of: (brass, Iron, Steel or aluminum)... a liner has always been lighter in weight than a shader. A liner is guaged to have a shorter stroke and boosted faster (different number of wraps per coil) and the shaders are traditionally heavier, slower and longer stroked to really lay in that ink. In the end, a single needle line is what it is; no matter what lays it down; it's the Person behind it that counts. The air weight machines in my book are for the Artist's comfort more than anything. As far as the weight of a dentists drill, I would much rather have the wieght of an old fashioned drill follow through than to have a cat pushing a feather-weight into me. To be frank; Ive' only given one actual Machine Tattoo, and that was to a Seven Club Brother named Dishonnest John. It was a cover-up Tattoo for John's "Judy" tattoo that I had originally hand done years before. (it was Mr. Natural scowling and holding a protest sign that read: "JUDY")..(John's varorite wife at the time)...as I said, Im' no expert with a gun, but Ive' given dozens of joint style tats. I plan on persuing the Chiaroscoru thing. (Black and Grey) and am not above fine tweeking any detail by hand. Why no colors? Colors are not ink. Colors are "Pigments" Im' a true "Ink Man" at heart...on that note, heres a Tattoo horror story. A Michigan Hill Billy named Norman Bright, had gotten a Joker Tattoo from me on his anckle. He was a repeat costomer and by suplying the booze got two Original Skulls Tattooed on both sides of his upper chest. A male Skull w/ goatee and a stringy haired female skull. Well, I was drunk to begin with and dug up an old bottel of Scripto Fountain Pen Ink..(kinda on the dark blue side)...anyway, the Tattoos were prize-winners but Norman came staggering back out to the house two days later, ripped open his shirt and screamed LOOK! (you guessed it)..No Tattoos. Just a faint outline left by the scabs. Hours of sweatin' bullets and his body sucked up the ink like a fuckin' sponge. He took it rather well. His Ol' Lady left him shortly after when he was caught fucking their dog. I always liked Norman. Hell, I even liked his dog for what thats wourth...now his ol' lady?..well, thats another story. Did I mention that Norman was a Flintiod?. (go figure)

Steve~You getting that vintage torture equipment? The difference anymore is the difference between the dentists when I was a kid (slow, painful and shook my head like a jackhammer) and their equipment now. So fast if they blink they have worked their way to the outside of your head..oops sorry. Then again at least it's not the traditional bamboo and rock technique or the slice and soot application. Hope someone teaches you the light touch with the fine lines. You can always spot an oldtime tattoo..heavy black lines that with old age just turn to blue smudges. I've seen some really beautiful work that looked like brush painting in the past few years. I'm still deciding on what I want. You going to travel with your equipment?

Bob I have a feeling to save confusion you may want to go by Stray Bob (or what ever handle you prefer) before you get confused with Sponge Bob or any other Bob that may show up here. There seems to be a lot of Bobs in the world and we don't want Steve (or Sponge Bob) to get confused. Just a thought.

I have a wheel chair story. Back in early 73' on a warm night in Berserkeley, me and a Hustler named Steve Googie (the same one who got involved in the Mass. Senator scandal???)..(The one who was with me during the "Star-small titty-House boat-car crash-Pink Powdered Acid Nose-Burn Incident"...(sounds like another Dylan song dont it?)..Anyway,..we were tripping on some heavy acid and having stiffed the bill at a local Mexican joint we ducked up some stairs of an old house where the door was left ajar and followed our ears to the music. The party was in full swing. Not your typ. Collage kids, but older hip types who were passing around gallons of red wine and joint after joint. Steve and I sat cross-legged, drank wine, smoked grass, answered a myriad of questions from the females as a large circle was formed in the main room where a freak in a wheel chair was attempting wheel-stands,..well, he high-sides and smashes his head on the hard-wood floor. I fly like an Indian, right him and everyone starts laughing. I no sooner sit down and he does it again, only this time I get the jump on him and mash my fingers between his thick skull and the floor. Well, this went on about 8 or 9 times; I would break his fall (and my fingers),..set him up-right; all to the roar of the crowd. Folks were laughing so hard that the tears were flowing, and I was starting to think that they were pretty cold; when this freak gets up out of the fuckin' wheel chair, and walks into the next room. I thought the fucker was a cripple!! They werent laughin' at him!..they were laughin' at Me!!.. well after I was told how funny I was, a rather large delegation of concerned men-folk narrowed it down; through a series of very direct questions, that Steve and I didnt actually know anyone else at the party,..or, in fact, didnt even know anyone who knew anyone at the party. At that point, a dark cloud formed over the party...(We left under that cloud)...

Eileen,

Getting back on track after being down with the flu for a few days. That was a great trip to Mendocino, the weather was fantastic the second day. My wife really enjoyed our conversation at lunch. Man, when the weather is right up there, it is really hard to beat.

All you roadtrippers coming this way gotta do Monterey Bay and SF on the way. Don't let any folks jive you, SF is still a wonderful city full of interesting people, damn good food, and less crowded than many of you may remember. If wheelchair access in these places is a concern I can help with info.

(did anyone think of this before???)....Also, if any one along the route would like to touch base (but dread the thought of Diggers in your living room; we could EMail via lap-top and get together at a local Truck Stop. Objective: Good Times, muddy Coffee, greasy food and hopefully low fuel prices.

Ooo you guys are busy here today. Notice the moon has gone out of an overtime void ofcourse (don't ask). I better jump in before you leave me in your breeze.

So Nicole, I only remember the names I think because I heard them from you so often. I don't recall actually meeting those guys. But I did sew for North Beach Leather somewhere around maybeuum**how about "65? Linda Gravanitus turned me onto the job after she had quit. (I think that was around the same time I worked at the Mary Quant store in Geradellie Square.) Although they were supplying NBL with some of their stuff, they were actually seperate entities. The factory moved finally to I think Viet Nam early on in the corperate game and left everyone without a job a few yrs after I quit. As I recall the designs were coming from some guy that lived in a tree house in HI. Aaah the stories and knitting the pieces together we do here..June huh? That will give me time to settle and put you on the road when the weather won't be as likely to be playing games with you. How's the boy sounding?

Hammond~Thanks for seeing what you can do. The $ for this venture is almost in after a really nasty dry spell, briefly relieved with Steve's momentary generosity. I am about to be able to breath freely. No that's not true. I am breathing freely. Having my head shaved and walking down my road on a beautiful spring morning with the sun and air just about lifting me off the ground..yeah Steve you had the right word..it is delightfully refreshing..even if it does back people about to falling backways when they see me. Hey I don't mind the space at all. Anywho..glad your back. I know we all missed you.

So an update. Miranda has once again got her sights on HI which I am very pleased about..great place to visit if not winter in and I am still looking towards Drain. This is getting really interesting. March is IT. Back to taking the house apart.

Hammond; Ive' decided to make the round trip; so I will be here to wine and dine you. I scratched the L.A. leg, as I plan on gearing up a grass roots effort to save the Peace Church. (it may involve "Squatting" and/or a "Last Stand" by the more militant fanction of the congregation. I got some inside info on the way that the "Established" Methodist Machine works. First they would "Donate" the priceless stained glass to one of "Their" other churches; or a "New" one...then they would horde the @ mil. that comes down from the realistate, (and most likely contribute to NYU's "Take Over" of the Village. I aint goin' out like lamb; I'm commin' on like a Lion. Heres what "They" dont want "Us" to know: First off:..well, I wont get into it here,..but its a mind blower. Hey Bob...Pills?..Hmm..Dr. Boyd says: "Take Two Suck Pills and call me in the mourning. If they do stop, I will wait out in the van. (in good company)...Hey Nik, by June I should have some real scratch in the piano seat. I dont do plastic, but can lay the green on any card holder that wants to make the history books. Later All. Imam, Steve and Hammond; the three Cabaleros. Has a certain ring to it.

Nik -(the echoes of our shadows cross yet again!) This (Echo) sounds like my Vicky all right - she loved the clear purple and black light haze of inner space like few others I have known . She tried to put a spell on me when I switched my emotional gears to being with Wendy and our impending move to SF - and it nearly worked - until Vicky realized that by getting me back on her track in this way she would only have had my outter shell and not my heart - and thus she let me off the hook she had implanted in my psyche. ----- PS - indeed it is easy to get lost cruising around The 3rd Page ->hidden links of surreal fun in all sections! Good that you will be in the City until June - I look forward to a great time out with you and Steve......

Hey Hammond, just reading some more of your book, and think the Vicky you speak about in Echo Park, was the same one whose house I spent many acid trips at...she was a friend of Pamela Poland who was the first person to bring Jackson Brown around...anyway, she was kind of scary to me in a witchy sort of way...we had a car accident on the freeway just on the curve by the 102 beer brewery and I always thought she caused it on purpose to test my mettle...me paranoid? nah...

I got stuck driving around page three...I couldn't leave...that was fun but I better get some work done now...

also I probably realistically won't get out of here before june...my son wants me to wait untill he's finished with the half way house that Lompoc is sending him to for 4 months...so then. We'll see one another here okay?

Hi folks - I'm back again from short-ranged travels and nothing very interesting to report....... Paid a visit bub-not-that-bob's Xero magazine and added a link to it in my 3rd Page.

Good stuff bub! Thanks for the connection. http://www.emptymirrorbooks.com/thirdpage/

Nik - when are you planning to hit the road - hoping to see you here in Portland but I still plan on being in NY in May or June if SAF is going to foot the bill - but they have yet to send a confirmation date so this is still up in the air. Anyway - just curious about your tentative plans out of the city......

Eileen - I am still trying to get hold of some friends who live in Drain for some on site details about current vacancies hidden in the lovely forest yet near to the main road to anywhere.....

IMAM, no, they were designers...Burry had an extensive collection of authentic ancient native american clothing, war bonnets, moccosins, blankets etc that unfortunately burned in a fire at Gate 5 in Sausalito about 1969...then he and his partner Frank started making leather cloths for the rock and roll crowd...I shared a house with Burry and did a lot of his bead work for him...he was an awesome artist...Frank died of an overdose of nitrous oxide and Burry went on to design stuff for North Beach Leather, but I've lost track of him and was just wondering...I tried google but no luck. they had a business called Pathfinders in Mill Valley.

Sounds good Steve....I like to drive....and I talk a lot a times...do I get the Neal Cassidy part? Many of you here have Hep C...and of course Aids came a little later....is this coincidence that these incurable diseases that are easily spread just happened to break out at the end of the sixties into the seventies. The military was doing a lot of experiments with biological warfare...It makes you wonder...the easy availability of heroin in the late sixties and hepatitis C..just some thoughts

The only thing that really downsized me was the hepatitis treatment, it erased years of happy junk-food junkyhood! My brothers and I used to play with the strangely twisted lead scraps that accumulated below the old typesetting trays (my father had done this work too). We used to imagine animals and boats or whatever in these lead filings, like looking at clouds. And what a big deal it was to get our names made out of type!

Ohio Girl: Ive been "Down-Sized" everywhere but the bed roonm. Hey,..you are a good writer. (and a great type-setter as well, I Imagine.) I remember the basic "Test" of the printing trade: Being able to make a "Printers" hat out of a piece of news paper. I showed my kids how. (I was a mere straight-rule die-cutter myself) down in Wobern Mass. prior to hiring on as a soft metals fabricator (Led burner).."Heavy Metal"..anyway, I remember liberating a whole duffle bag full of old type of varios sizes from the print shop of a large dept store chain in Newton Mass. So heavy that I could hardly tote it,..anyway,..I decorated the kitchen wall sink and stove area of my Commonwealth Ave. Apt. in Boston. Stuck em' all on with liquid nails. (yep, we use alot of liquid nails at my house)....I put up all of the block ads for 50's ladies fashions etc. Real eye appeal...(very Bohemian)..when I split, it was a selling point of the place...anyway,..It was no big loss to the outfit, as they had all been made obsolete by computerization,..which sadly reminded me of when we were forced off of the "Boards" an onto the computers in the drafting field. Remembering back to some of my installation drawings and blue prints of the late 70's and early 80's its a damn shame. The system steals the trades. I knew folks who had worked in shoe factories all of their lives: but could they make a pair of shoes for their kids?..hell no..all they could do was run a last machine, stitch, or glue on heels. The "Cobblers" are all dead. Murdered by the system and buried next to the true draftsmen and type setters. Good mourning Amerika.

Working in a nursing home: being paid a salary to get 32 hours a week of vigorous exercise. You'd have to pay a gym or spa and not get nearly that much exercise. Being paid a salary to spend 32 hours a week in the presence of some 130 gurus. We're supposed to be taking care of them, but what we gain from them can't be measured. It compensates us for the heartbreak and crappy working conditions. Typesetting was beautiful when I first got into it, working for the perfect presentation of people's thoughts expressed through the written word. It had turned into no more than just a job, when I was fortunate enough to be asked to leave. Go figure!

Joe, life only gets better after they "downsize" you. It didn't seem that way at first, even though my family kept saying, downsized? you look the same to me. I was a typesetter when the typesetting industry imploded, when old-line workers were replaced by our understudies who were earning less per hour, and who also didn't know enough to waste further company money on such things as "quality control." It felt real crummy. But then I thought, finally! Now I can get unemployment like in Richard Pryor's movie and get paid to do nothing for six months!! That had always sounded so attractive to me, and what a shame you couldn't get it by quitting a job, you had to be fired for no good reason. Well being ornery I guess, I couldn't stand unemployment. Having to fill out a bunch of obnoxious questionnaires through no fault of my own, comply with a bunch of obnoxious rules, wonder what the heck would happen in the future. In less than two months I started working in a nursing home, backbreaking at my age but the best thing I've ever done probably as a person helping others. And I started this little fledgling writing career by selling "confessions," not much but who knows where it might lead. After downsizing, life is an open book once again........there are always possibilities.....

Joe, ten years ago I was a happily married life actor doing a cameo as a design drafter (AutoCad) on an MBTA rapid transit job in Boston working for Buffalo Electric just prior to a stint on Deer Island and Riverside Yard with Fischbach and Moore. Anyway, I was an F&M man in Buffalo clothing: as they had bought out Buffalo in order to snag jobs that they had been banned from (Bid Rigging)...aint it the way???..Been there have ya??..Anyway,.. the whole F&M Boston office, as well as the main Dallas Office were there gathered for a yearly wing ding. To make a long story short, the floor directly below their banquet room buckled about two feet. The entire brain-trust of the outfit came that close to getting zilched. It gave me the creeps then; as I had eaten at the Windows on the World eleven years earlier. Hey, you up for the trip???...for my money, we could rent a wheel chair accessable van for your wife's comfort. This is Aquarian Joe,..right?

You set me up to be recruited into an Ohio Vally "Corn Stompers Club"..a bunch of sick fucks who fake crop circles in order to muddy the true investigative waters in reference to the actual alien made symbols. I bust yer' case on the SPOG alter ego, the Donna Martin alter ego and the Crop Gang,..(who got very threatening),...so big deal, find another name to play yer' kid-games behind. ..Hmm..you then tell me that you are several people who's letters of their first names spell SPROG as well as SPONGE. You then attempt to turn me against my co-workers and some how read my mail. In as much as you have never denied that anyone else has ever boot-legged your handle and the fact that you have (in a round-about way) stuck it up everyone's ass except "Travis'"..but now deny turning the heat onto my ("FRONT") Tattoo Venture (as if you were more than one person; you wouldnt know which "Mr. Sponge" did it anyway, ya stupid fuck)...you got some "Esplainin' Ta' do!.

What a strange, cryptic and symbolically loaded open letter you have posted. Those emails I sent only contained a picture of Germain Greer and some Kenny Rogers lyrics so I failed to unravel the cryptic analogy behind the phrases such as “RICO laws and psycho” Perhaps your hard hitters find you a gullible character that’s easy to wind up. (sorry about the spelling gullible is not in any dictionary)

However I did pick up on your sexual tension in your symbolic invitation regarding the tattoo and your references to my not having a penis. You poor honey

Look lets clear the air ok. If you are harbouring fantasies about putting your inky prick near my ass then this is an issue for your self,and flattered as I am that you associate the word WOW with my arse I realy must decline your misguided offer.But keep looking , your handsom prince is out there and in the meantime try returning to those gay porn sites you are so keen on .Any way I dont do it on the firs date but full marks for showing good taste.

And here I was rather enjoying my Hot-House Flower days. Goes to show that nothing is for sure except Change. (I embrace Change).

Yes Nicole~I can see it. Ariel says she is realizing she has unwittingly left behind her spiritual life while the doctors poke and tug and she's getting back on track. Yep yep those prayers are working.

RIFF~If you are afraid of being ridiculed for the info you are giving here and I think you can see you are as safe as any of the rest of us here. Which is to say there is always going to be someone out there that may hassle but so far we ALL beat you on personal stuff by a mile. Steve has even been known to report on the color of his shit and gotten away with it..ha! I think the few of us here could be considered freaks and always have been. Your in good company. This RIFF machine while interesting if dependant on pendulumn use is lacking sorely. I've not found I am terribly accurate with a pendulum and it is rare to find someone who is. Have an off day and youre in trouble and hanging your ass over the line.

I have been looking futher into Dr Clarks Syncrometer and I believe it would do all the RIFF does plus make it possible to sort out the physical problems. THis is considerably cheaper and I think could be even more effective. As far as Peter footing the bill..what are dad's for? He's been doing all that's possible from AMA doctors to Medicine Men. But having been on the alternative health care route for 30 yrs plus I know what unbelivable husslers are out there. So I am very slow to go running after all these great ideas (anymore). If I had not been cured by Dr Clarks approach, quite by accident, I should add, I would never have considered it seriously. Bottom line..this use of sound and eletrical charge to get rid of problems is such a great notion and I do believe we are actually seeing it's use becoming avaiable. But the fees at a $1 a min..the person should be taken out and shot. No better than the rest of the AMA pharamacuticals out there. Shameful to be taking such advantage of sick people.

BTW whomever was reporting on NC..thanks for the good word. It's great to know there are beacons of light still shining out there. Makes me want to visit.

Steve..looks like the path is being sent for you and the church. I love it when the Universe gives such clear signals. Although it sounds like it will be a huge loss to many.

Good morning all. Spring is offically here. All my chickens are laying again. My aracana banties are laying their beautiful blue and pink eggs along with the ones from my 2 big hens big eggs. I'm still a little kid in the hen house feeling I'm on a treasure hunt whenever I gather a handful of warm eggs. It's a good life.

Eric...when? you'll call me? There's a great anarchist book store in the east village (complete with free section) and a ton of things to do...right Steve...

Eileen, I spent a great deal of time at the cottage and in the garden last evening...The lily of the valley are planted around the apple tree that I planted for my grand daughter Hannah and the lilac tree is at the corner of the cottage by the window so I can see the blossoms when I'm sitting in my chair...there is also some wisteria now by the gate, it's really beautiful...can you see it? Lavender and white seems perfect for Ariel.

Eileen and others... the book is "The Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing" by Nina Silver, PhD. amazon and bn don't carry it but you can find it on an internet search. about $60. isbn # 0-9668352-3-9

this book explains how the rife boxes are used and has frequency rates for so many pathogens as well as stress, fears, so much more. apparently the frequencies effect target pathogens: viruses, fungi and bacteria and shatter the cell walls just like Ella Fitzgerald can shatter a glass.

I have a friend taking treatments and will let you now if she gets results. a well respected naturopath i know also has one, and a very wise herbalist also told me he invested in the machine and book.

the internet search came up with conferences (recent) on Rife healing and Hep C and Cancers. the practicioner here charges $1 a minute which gets costly real fast. however, if it gets results then hallejulah. however, in the book it says Rife specified that his healing discovery not be used for profit, that no one is to charge for treatments.

your practicioner needs to be able to dowse with a pendalum. for example, there are numerous frequencies for most specific pathogens; sometimes the patahogens mutate, etc.

maybe peter will look into this and support treatments for his daughter. wouldn't that be a blessing. i am humbly searching for ways to heal nasty viruses.

there are also frequencies for stress, fears (founded and unfounded) etc. the rife box is supposed to help tissue regenerate as well as destroy invading pathogens.

sometimes a parasitic worm can have viruses inside of it and so the parasite is the vector. (mode of transport.) originally Rife was able to blast the tuburculosis bacteria but people stayed sick until he discovered that viruses lived in the tb bacteria. so, additional blasts for the virus and voila, people got WELL.

Good luck all. this is too personal so i'm remaining anonymous. I did see a movie on Rife and his work and was astounded by watching pathogens dissolve as showen through the microscope.

still things to consdier are dealing with dieoff (colonics recommended) and how do we get the money to pay for treatments???

I can tell you this much, an eye-witness report. Every other house in downtown Asheville, NC {Hippieville, USA} is sporting a peace sign or anti-war slogan. A blank bill-board on the main hwy into town has "NO WAR" in large & clearly volunteered red letters on it [not a paid announcement]. The daily newspaper (not notably liberal) has a constant deluge of peace-oriented letters on the editorial page every day.

The discontent is most plainly manifest here, even in the buckle of the Bible belt.

I'll often label myself a skeptic, and will mostly be telling the truth. However...on rare occasions I have experienced 'events' or 'things' that simply can't be explained away rationally. Glimpses into the future, insights into the 'now', a vision or two completely outside the pale yet as substantial as this machine you're looking into right now. Metal and plastic and glass. (Yet, all this machine does is produce pixel gas, right? We divine meaning from the patterns of that gas? ( I better quit, before I really embarrass myself)

The Secret Life of Plants. Yes, there's a yellowing copy on my bookshelf at home, right next to...oh crap...I'm drawing a blank. In the late 18th century, Paris was mapped according to aromas, not streets or landmarks. It's a book about that. It's called... ... ...???

Glad Ariel is feeling OK. Whew!! About hepatitis C being a slow and subtle way of life and how it sneaks up on you, that's been really bothering me lately, wondering what might have been had I realized I was supposed to have more energy. What books haven't I read? No, even doctors don't recommend interferon and ribavirin for everyone, they weigh a variety of factors. It's really good to have all the different point of views. Treatment is not compulsory.

I am half-French (not to open a can of worms here and don't tell Buckley whatever you do....no, no political arguments here have some more coffee and a piece of pie). Apparently in France the pharmacist is a really important health practitioner who advises people on what to do for their ailments, and on which times they need to consult a doctor. I always thought of it as an early screening process much cheaper than having to pay to see your doctor to see if you need a referral to a specialist for example. But how could it work over here in our lawsuit mentality, the poor pharmacists would be sued every time they turned around. American pharmacists are underused for health information they can impart. My relatives overseas use homeopathics or big medicine, whatever is needed. No special emphasis on the big medicine. Yes many aspects of our way of life here are profit-driven. Wasn't that part of the reason to drop out in the first place!

Hi All - Windy and icy cold for a change in Portland with a sunny sky. Wanted to share Stew 's poetic note from today -

Bouncing Bernadette

Good old Jimmy Breslin informs us that Bernadette Devlin got booted from Bushland when she arrived from Belfast. She was once a member of the Brit parliament and a socialist leader for Irish justice. She was a flaming radical back in the '70's.

Full disclosure! I once got drunk with Bernadette in the members only Parliament saloon. That was a long time ago. She's been coming to American Babylon for decades and didn't throw a single bomb. But now that she's a grandmother with a bum leg she considered ineligible for admission can't buy her grand children presents in Macys, bounced her back to Belfast. Indignant, Ms. Devlin told them "You can't do that, I have my rights." Better informed, the INS thug replied "Since 9/11, nobody has any rights."

Went walking in Portland early this morning. Very cold. Very windy. Harsh exercise. But the sun was shining bright. Made me think of better times Of warm days walking on the beach mellow on my deck growing tomatoes It was before 9/11. George Bush wasn't President. And we still had rights.

IMAM's easy to build - easy to use 'Orgone Thingy'

You can build a really simple orgone accumulator from an old milk can. You wrap one inch layers of alternating organic (cardboard) and then inorganic (steel wool) inside the can moving toward the center - this goes on until you have about 8" of wrap with a space in the center about 6" in diameter. Then you punch two holes into the bottom of the can into the space section inside. You attach rubber tubes (about four feet long) into the holes. On the end of one of the tubes you attach a metal funnel - the other tube goes into a bucket of some sort with about 4" of water in it. (Be careful with the water - it will become contaminated with DOR - Deadly Orgone Radiation (but it is easily disposed of - just keep a lid on it and it won't hurt anything.

Anyway - Now that you have your Orgone accumulation device - you just hang the can in a tree on a mountainside. It will immediately begin collecting Orgone energy - then you put the funnel hose agains your body in the area that you are having problems.............IMAM(Suspect -Orgone Agent)

IMAM~I've been facinated by the idea of the orgone box but never saw directions for it. THat was such an interesting period in time, When I was going to school in Boulder ('61-'63) was where I first hear of Reich, Stiner, Crowley. I was also coming across old people that we the freaks no doubt of their generation that were into natural healing..herbs, pendulums, the most incrediable psychic I ever met, chyropactors, rock hounds, folks that knew the land, as well as ghoasts and aliens (UFO types) In those days Boulder was a stew of the folks hidden out in the hills and were some of my first teachers. You have to understand, coming fresh from Louisiana having lived there for 21 yrs I stepped into something that felt beyond anything I had ever heard of and also felt like I had stepped into a nest of people one only dreams of. There was much I had been learning by samosis from the Blacks in Louisiana all my life without realizing it was anything unusual until I left home. These folks and the info that was out there..well I was a duck in water.

A few yrs back I came across a book that was a somewhat smaller but very significant gathering of info by some of these folks, I guess you could say, in the realm of Stiner and these old time "freaks". Secrets of the Soil by by Peter Tompkins, Christopher Bird, Christopher Baird, and William Thomas. These are the guys that wrote Secret Life of Plants. These are books that are not just for gardners..really stretches ones mind to the possibilities as to how we actually relate to the soil and plants in a way that goes beyond your run of the mill organic gardening..ha! to say the least. Not your downhome gardening. I consider this with When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone, on my required reading list for anyone that has missed these books. I'm serious. This is, you might say a much more esoteric book in the realm of the Fox Fire books. Remember those great books?..they're still avaiable.

I think with the economy rapidly sliding beyond our grasp, it's about time to refresh our memories of our communial living on the land, roots.

quickmorph..thanks for the hep c input. There are apparently 3 levels of hep c the doctors have sesed out. From the easiest to treat, to the nigh 'bout impossible. To those folks that say sorry youre feeling bad. That is not exactly how it is. Hep c becomes a way of life that is so slow and subtle as to not be noticable till your in serious shit. I will always go for the less invasive way of dealing with sickness..doctors are on the very end of my list. I continue to pursue this subject on this particular page because it is this 60's generation that seems to have been so hard hit. I thought we had slid by AIDS by the skin of our teeth..can you IMAGINE (if I could typoe that bigger I would) can you IMAGINE if we had come out of the 60's with AIDS on our tail????? We would all be dead!!

OK that's my 2 cents this morning. Back to..yep, packing and all that comes along with it..dump and thrift store runs, etc. HAve a good day.

Ohio girl, Dale Carnegie did a study at the turn of the last century...comparing homeopathy, naturapathy and alopathy, the later being regular american brand of medicine, he determined that there was way more money to be made with alopathy, you treat symptoms, needing prescriptions and you have to actually see the doctor for that, it takes longer to heal, the drug companies make money, the doctor does, the whole machine worked better for them with alopathy so that was where they funneled the money and pushed for it...up to that point we had homeopathic doctors much like they have in Europe now...for every regular pharmacy in France, there are two homeopathic ones...kind of interesting...same as the cervical cap is legal there for over 2o years, but a nurse can instruct you on how to use it so no doctors fees...they confiscate them at the docks here...shame...Dr. Dollar wins again...by the way I have insurence that covers my hepatron interferon stuff, but I won't take it...I have zero symptoms, I feel great,have gobs of energy (untill I take that, then I'm devastated) so I choose to feel good for a shorter period of time? "They" say my viral load is in the millions and that my biopsy showed damage at #4 on a scale of 1 to 6...however, I don't think so...besides for me today it's quality over quantity in my life and I know I am doing the right thing for me...no doubt...zero.

Eileen, what shall I plant for Ariel...?

When I go to California this year I'm going to try to drive...so I'll pass through Tucson on the way.
