I got caught waiting for a response from you or for the Dystonia Digest.
And sending warning.  It was serendipity that I found Happy 99 attached
to the CPL Digest and an Unexpected Attachment from an otherwise blank
apparently mass mailing from Mag (see below.)?

I hate “Crying Wolf.”  Wasn’t faulting Mag.  Virii take on lives of
their own when they find a computer to cozy.

I tend to delete, then ask.  (One of those who doesn’t like surprises
and uninvited visitors.)  Would any of the List Manager’s prefer I file
and forward suspect attachments?

Dear Friends and family,

Due to carpal tunnel syndrome, I am sending out this letter to all of
you.
There is a paper newsletter to follow, but I need to print them all out,
it
contains different news.

Next sunday I will be 44 years old. I am getting my house in order to
receive
some guests who are coming in the next month or so. My new place is 98
percent fixed up..

Mimi Farina has lung cancer. I don't know if you know of her
organization,
Bread and Roses, but they bring free concerts and entertainment  to
prisoners, shut-ins at hospitals and institutions. They put on about 450
events a year. That's more than Bob Hope does!

Anyway a bunch of us on the Joan Baez list are pooling some money to
send
Mimi a dozen roses in a beautiful vase, and a basket of baked breads and
cakes to celebrate Mimi's 25th year of B&R. Next monday, the 20th, my
friend
Nadine, from France, and I, are going to the B&R event at San
Francisco's War
Memorial Opera Hall. Joan, Kris Kristoferson, Pete Seeger etc., will all
be
there, so it should be a great concert.

Mimi has given several interviews, and she is being so brave about it!!!
They
discovered the cancer in december. In the interview today, the article
said
it had metastasized, (tears)  and Mimi is now using both alternative and
standard treatments.

Anyhow, some of us will be doing prayers and meditations on Mimi with
golden
or violet light. what a horrible thing to go through, but I guess she
has to
learn to slow down and take care of herself.

I mentioned my friend (Nadine) from France, she will be here from the
17th to
april 1st. She is a delightful, sweet, passionate young lady who is
innocent
in a lot of ways, and yet she is aware of many sad things. she  is like
27,
but she acts like a teen sometimes. so that should be interesting.

Then april 10th - 22 my friend, Theresa, from Ohio who has cp and is
also a
Baez fan, will be here checking out the disability stuff, as things are
quite
bad for Theresa in Cleveland, i.e. living with her grandparents and the
g-father is physically abusive to her. and cleveland's UCP has merged
with
MR. (mental retardation) and they don't encourage independent living.
So
Theresa is checking out options. She has become close with Joan's
administrative assistant. and also the Baez band tour bus driver and
tour
manager (who have actually gone to cleveland and met her )  who all
agree the
g-father needs a kick in the butt!  Theresa's abuse just makes me cry,
she
never had a toilet on the  ground floor either at home or at school, so
her
digestive system is totally fucked up, (imagine having to CRAWL UP AND
DOWN
STAIRS TO GO TO THE BATHROOM) she has had about a dozen surgeries on her
various intestines and kidneys, etc.

And because she inherited an eye problem (thin corneas, i think) from
her
dad, and her g-father beats her on the head, she also has recurring
bouts of
near blindness. it made me very grateful that our lives were not that
horrible when we were kids. (her mom abandoned her...)  and grateful
that we
lived in california.

where btw, I recently heard that disabled prisoners here in california,
have
had to crawl up stairs to get to their court hearings... i mean
jezsus...
deaf people who communicate in sign have  been unable to testify, due to
their hands being in shackles! it's almost unreal.. so, we still have
work to
do.

Love,Tamar
