new mexico gathering for those who missed it (like i did)

not acording to wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis
or snopes http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/porkworm.asp

...still gross.
The snopes one was the one I was thinking of, I knew the coke worm thing was fake, i'd forgot about trichinosis tho.. ..but yeah pork has worms, Eww.

 

If that were the case, everybody who's ever eaten pork would have contracted the roundworms. Pigs only get it from eating raw meat scraps.

If anybody likes pork and is concerned with getting trichinosis, they should instead buy pork that is not mass-produced and not fed raw meat scraps.

 

double team, ouch

 

sorry.

 

don't be, lol

 

about 15 years or so ago this dr showed me this device he just started working with..it was used for putting a low electrical current through areas in pain that would somehow knock out the pain, but he found also that when the contacts were put on the hands so the current went throughout the body every one of his patients shit worms the next day (after extended use, i think about an hiour but cant remember its been too long) he told me they were a type worm from pork that was unavoidable, ..basicly harmless so probly not that trichiwhatever
he also said wormwood would do the same thing but that shit tastes nasty as hell


i never tried it cause after a few long fasts i was pretty sure everything would have cleared out through fasting

 

I think Ill take the risks of having worms in me

 

just got a message from someone
there was an oscar nomi9nated doccumentary director that made a documentary "we love you" on the rainbow nation

hes going to hopefully drop by my place in the next couple weeks to hand deliver a copy which i'm going to make availible for all who want to see it somehow

hes sure this one would win him an oscar and a sundance but choose not to submit it ..or show it commercialy..instread hes just giving it away (as all things rainbow should be)


so i hope you'll be seeing it in a couple weeks..before i move i hope



mandy are u back from the gathering yet? i am soooo byummed i missed seeing you there..i might have spotted amara in 1 iof the kid villiage vids?
love u

 

trichinosis.. is the pork worm... nasty

My understanding at least when I was in the UK is that they don't have it over there

as far as the Rainbow Gathering in NM .. while close I was on the other side of the Jemez mountains... was quite a bit of rain for here then.

I did meet some folks who were there .. they came over afterwards.. nice people

 

nicest people in the world


and yea we bring rain to make rainbows
and every state we gather in durring draugfhts we end the draughgts.. i think utah hadnt had any measurable precdipitation in 6 years whjen we gathered there.. 1st few days 2 feet of snow (in july) thewn alotta rain and the end of a decade long draught

part of our purpose is the healling oif the land after all
and our effectrs on the local asreas are way beyind economics

 

I tend to agree SoaringEagle.. they were some real nice people.

One guys real name was Vulture his given name as he was born in a van in Ca. and what was flying around....lol

I wish I had some wheels and could of gotten over there when it was going on. But had to be here as my Mom was on her last leg... she passed on last week and New Mexico .. well it's not quite as Enchanting here anymore..but she's in a better place now.

 

god im so sorryto hear thsat
you knhow the gastherings over but its stillgoing on
cleanup wuilol be going onawhile still theres probly a couple thousand still on site

and yea ive met a few who were born at a gathering in a tent then wenht to evcery gathering from birth on....amazing people


talk about nice one brother offered to buy me and a freind 8 houses last year...thats about as nice as you can be without being sainted


others have dedicated years of theyre lives to doing disaster reliefge work or feeding the hungry
my dewar family in everybodies kitchen have beenh feeding folks 19 years or more, working theyre asses off doing rooofing a few monmths a year just to supply theyre feeding efforts (and thewy are no soup kitchen the food they pum,p out for free could outshine the best resteraunts in the world.. and they literany give away several t\ons a week)

i could go on and on about just how nice folks are ..but ..just saying my whole life has been blessed for knowing them says it all

 

White_Horse_Mescalito - Sorry to hear of your loss.

 

mmh. too bad i live in the middle of nowhere so to speak, wish to make it to one of those gatherings one day and bang my djembe with ya'll. rather hard to make it happen...but some day..

 

Real drum kits > hand drums


*does a blast beat at 240 bpm

 

240bpm? guess i'm only familiar with sequencing, but that's fast.

i wouldn't mind having a "real" drum kit either, but you know they cost craploads. why compare though, noones trying to imitate a real drum break with a djembe. theyre all fun.

 

yeah. mines worth over 10 grand now

I'm gonna buy another one just for metal though and use triggers on it

 

yeah they are. I was just fooling around. I have djembe aswell

 

drum kits got no soul..; no life and vitsality no voice sure u can bang em and make noise .. but you cant communicate you cant sing you cant have a conversation or share in unity

phen
the gathering are always more in the middle of nowhere then you are
you cant waiut for 1 to be close you gotta go no matter how far


even if its 1/2 way around the world and u only got a rowboat to gedt there its worth the trip

mamny bike or even walk across the country to go
some leave from 1 to go to the next a year away walking

thge longer u wait for it to come to you the more you miss out on
and not having a car is no excuse..i had a cart only for 1 outts the umm..no idea.,40 or so i been to..

 

just because you dont have the ability to do something doesnt mean its lacking soul

you probly don't know jack shit about drum kits
