Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Yes, that's John Travolta in leather, riding a motorcycle, in advertisements for his newest film. Indeed, the man who's now in his fourth decade as an A-list star is one of the "Wild Hogs" the movie's title refers to (his co-stars are Tim Allen, William H. Macy and Martin Lawrence). At least it's less of a stretch than Travolta's upcoming turn as Edna (yes, Edna!) Turblad in the big summer musical "Hairspray." Where have you gone, Danny Zuko?
MTV News sat down with the versatile star of "Look Who's Talking," "Face/Off" and "Pulp Fiction" to talk Justin Timberlake, roles he refused and dressing in drag. (Click here to check out our extended Rough Cut conversation with Travolta.)
MTV: "Wild Hogs" is about men attempting to stave off boredom. How do you stay engaged?
John Travolta: I play sports, I travel, I study Scientology. I do so many things outside my business.
MTV: When you're traveling, at this point are there places you can go unrecognized?
Travolta: No. But that's OK. I accept that. I've accepted that for 30 years.
MTV: Do you ever think back to what your notion of stardom was in the beginning of your career?
Travolta: Sure. My notion of stardom in the early days was Paul Newman, Warren Beatty and Robert Redford. I have a great sense of the history of cinema. I'm just thrilled I'm still here and people still want to watch.
MTV: Are there younger stars today that you have an affinity for? You worked with Scarlett Johansson recently.
Travolta: I adore Scarlett. She has an old-time essence about her. She is a classic type. She'll be around forever. There are a lot of young stars that I really enjoy. The two from "Brokeback Mountain" I thought were great. And they're of the new generation, don't you think? Jake [Gyllenhaal] and Heath [Ledger].
MTV: Do you ever see a glimmer of yourself in any of the young stars?
Travolta: [He pauses.] That's a good question …
MTV: Timberlake has the dance moves.
Travolta: Justin Timberlake does have my moves, for sure. I have to give him the kudos for that. There's nothing holding that boy back.
MTV: It's amazing to think of all the roles you turned down. Recently, there was "Chicago."
Travolta: Oh, yeah. Well, mine are legendary.
MTV: Do you have any regrets? Like, "Oh, if I had done 'Forrest Gump' or 'Chicago,' what might have been?"
Travolta: No, because if I didn't do something Tom Hanks did, then I did something else that was equally interesting or fun. Or if I didn't do something Richard Gere did, I did something equally well. But I feel good about some I gave up because other careers were created.
MTV: I don't know if we can credit Tom Hanks' entire career to you, but if you look at his filmography, there are a few roles that were supposed to be yours. "Splash" for one.
Travolta: "Splash," yeah. Of course several of Richard's. I'm pleased I can share the wealth.
MTV: As the years go by, do you think there's any chance of reprising your role as Vincent Vega for Quentin Tarantino?
Travolta: I don't know. Quentin is an unpredictable personality, and I love him. But your guess would be as good as mine as far as what he'd want to do. He would have to do a prequel, if anything, because I died in "Pulp Fiction."
MTV: Superhero movies are so in vogue right now. Did you ever come close to donning tights and a cape?
Travolta: There was some talk of Batman years ago. There may have been one or two others. When I did "Get Shorty" and "Be Cool," it was more like the American James Bond. I would've been more attracted to doing something like James Bond than the superhero pictures.
MTV: Tell us a little bit about "Hairspray." This is really your first musical since "Grease."
Travolta: Oh yeah, it's a full-throttle musical. It's my first musical since "Grease" and interestingly enough, it's almost ended up like a sequel to it. "Grease" took place in 1959, lets say, and "Hairspray" takes place in 1962.
MTV: The pictures of you in drag for the role are out there and they're kind of shocking. You're playing Tracy Turnblad's mother, Edna?
Travolta: I'm playing Edna. Big, old Edna.
MTV: Did it take arm twisting to get you to play this big woman?
Travolta: That took arm twisting. Absolutely. I didn't know why they wanted me. I thought, well if you look at "Grease" and you see me as that kind of performer, then why would you want to put big breasts and a big ass on me and make me a woman? And they said that's why. It's much more fun to take a guy that's known for macho leading roles and do that twist on it. So I considered it, and I've always been very bold with my choices, whether it be playing the president or playing a heroin addict, or an angel. I've always pushed the envelope with anything I've done. Believe it or not, even "Saturday Night Fever" was considered pushing the envelope years ago because nobody had really danced in films in years.
MTV: How did your voice hold up after all these years?
Travolta: That's a good question. I hadn't sung for so long. I had to take vocal coaching again so I didn't hurt it. It turned out great. I didn't hurt my voice at all singing and I liked it because I was smart with it. I'd warm up and do what you should do. Just like with dancing, I'd do warm-ups and make sure I didn't hurt myself. It was good to get back in the saddle again with musicals.
MTV: What kind of dance moves can we expect from you this time?
Travolta: It's very choreographed, so you're going to see kind of gimmick numbers. I do a whole Tina Turner dance thing where [Edna] comes out of her shell. I enjoyed that and in the beginning, "Welcome to the '60s" is kind of like a big, extravagant number.
MTV: You've been attached to play J.R. in a "Dallas" movie for a while and it's gone back and forth between being a broad comedy and something played a little more straight.
Travolta: I would rather it be a broad comedy than anything else. Only because it's more fun. I want "Dallas" to make people laugh.
MTV: Have you got your hat selected?
Travolta: No, but I'm pretty good at that. I did the whole "Urban Cowboy" thing.
Check out everything we've got on "Wild Hogs" and "Hairspray" and John Travolta.

The stock is at an almost all time low. based upon this recent release, Cartwright realizes the need for Luviva in developing Countries.
This type of thing is right up individuals like Bill Gates and other philanthropists alley. Inexpensive and very accurate..
Developing countries are more apt to waive certain aspects of Luviva for approval than the FDA because they need this product..
I certainly hope you are correct. The issue right now is why buy the stock? Their is no catalyst in the horizon. Maybe March 26th? Will GTHP even address the FDA during the conference? The market cares about one thing right now. The FDA. Will the FDA approve Luviva? When is the the face to face meeting with the FDA.... The release this AM was nice but moslty BS in my opinion. Tell me about the FDA!
ed, when will you realize that FDA is not the most important item on the menu. There is more to be had internationally with Luviva. Hey, it would be great also to have the FDA approve it but it's not the make or break deal for GTHP. Let other countries have a go at it for it will bring more revenue into the mix and after the FDA see's Luviva's success around the world, then it would be the best possible scenario when it's approved here in the US.

A terrace by the sea and, beneath a little wooden pergola, just a handful of tables and chairs. Snack bar Da Antonio is one of the few places in Capri which has remained almost entirely untouched by the passage of time.
A place in which to experience the magical atmosphere of bygone Capri, and enjoy the simple pleasures of a day by the sea.
Located close to the lighthouse, on the beach of Punta Carena, in Anacapri, the snack bar has two terraces: one drenched in the Mediterranean sun, the other shaded by the island's traditional "pagliarelle".
Da Antonio's Caponata has acquired legendary status on the island, as has the snack bar's white wine with peaches. Those in the know linger until late, so as to enjoy an aperitif whilst watching the sun setting over the water and the island's little fishing boats heading out to sea.

Southern Cooking....Some folks call it soul food. Others call it comfort
food. Still others call it down home country cookin'. But if you ask
me, I call it just plain good!
You see, there's nothing quite like wakin' up to the smell of fresh baked biscuits with creamy sausage gravy.
Or comin' home to a Sunday supper of fried chicken,
mashed potatoes, a mess 'o greens, cornbread and a big 'ol glass of
sweet tea.
Or seein' that pan of peach cobbler just waitin' for ya, yonder on the stove.
Down home southern cooking is more than just a recipe. For it to be good, you have to learn to put your love, your soul, into it.
My kids are all grown so I decided to create a website for them, my grandkids and all of their friends. Hopefully, it will answer most of their questions because I'm startin' to think maybe my name is "MamahowdoI".
Then I thought, "Why stop there?". "Why not share my southern cooking recipes with the rest of the world?".
So...welcome to my website! Y'all come on in and make yourselves at home.
You're just a click or two away from discovering the best that southern food has to offer. From tips and down home country cooking recipes to restaurants and southern food festivals.
Be sure to join me on facebook. If you want to know what new recipes are coming to my website, I usually post a picture of any new recipes there before I add them to my site so if you want to be one of the first to know, Like me on facebook!
So, pour ya a cold glass of sweet tea, put your feet up and enjoy the hundreds of recipes I already have on my site! You'll find many of the recipes even have step by step pictures to help you!
I hope you enjoy your stay,
Oh, and I almost forgot, if you're wondering "MamahowdoI?",
and you can't find the answers here, just fill out the "MamahowdoI?"
form (just mash the button that says "MamaHowDoI?" on the left) and I'll
get back to you just as quick as I can with an answer.

Delivering a smash performance at 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a post-baby Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Stewart hit the stage together on Saturday night (April 12).
It's been a long wait, but Gwen Stefani finally brought her third son into the world on Friday (February 28).
Announced via Twitter by the proud papa, Gavin Rossdale tweeted "Welcome Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale 2/28/14," Rossdale announced via Twitter Saturday. "Bowie and Flynn = [our] mothers' maiden names."
Enjoying quality time with her boys before the new baby arrives, Gwen Stefani watched Kingston's flag football game on Saturday (February 15).
The No Doubt frontwoman wore a long black jacket over her baby bump as she ditched her heels for flat sandals while keeping a hold of their Pomeranian for the outing with her two sons and hubby Gavin Rossdale.
Kicking off the week with a session of soothing, Gwen Stefani showed up at an acupuncture studio in Los Angeles on Monday (February 10).
Sporting an all-black ensemble, the pregnant "Don't Speak" songstress couldn't hide her bulging baby bump, and it seems Kingston and Zuma will have a new brother before too long.
Drawing a few celebrity gal pals in for the occasion, Gwen Stefani held her baby shower at Hotel Bel-Air on Saturday (February 8).
Eschewing traditional maternity wear, the guest of honor arrived in a black jacket with colorful sleeves, black leather pants, and nude high heels.
Feeling some backlash from an innocent throwback photo, Gwen Stefani found herself in some hot water this week.
It wasn't the snapshot itself that caused the controversy, but rather the caption, which read: "chunky me 1983. getting @officialsting autograph backstage."
Enjoying the daily rituals of motherhood, Gwen Stefani dropped off Zuma at school in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (January 28).
The pregnant rocker was stylish as ever in a black dress, denim jacket, and black leather pants as she headed back to her car.
Her baby bump is getting bigger by the day, and Gwen Stefani showed up at an acupuncture studio in Los Angeles in Wednesday (January 22) to relieve some pressure.
The "Sweet Escape" songstress looked gorgeous in a loose-fitting black top with olive green and black trousers and black gladiator heels as she smiled for the paparazzi and headed inside.

We're just trying to plan an overseas holiday for next year and would like to go tandem touring (either in Europe or the USA). As we live in Australia any trip is going to involve air flight. Our tandem does not have S&S couplers. From the experience of people on the list, would that make this just too difficult?
I imagine we can get the tandem to the main international airport at the destination without too much drama, but that's were I think the drama would start - getting too and from the start of our touring
Any thoughts?

School Notes
- The Summit School,founded in 1989, is a co-ed, not-for-profit school for bright students with dyslexia and other learning differences. Our students are most often diagnosed with language-based learning disabilities by specialists in the field. At Summit, our preference is to view those disabilities as differences because we emphasize the gifts each student brings, help them reach their full potential, as well as remediate their skills. The school offers a mainstream curriculum in a supportive environment with programs tailored to individual learning styles. Highly skilled teaching professionals cultivate each child's strengths using a multi- sensory approach to foster literacy and interactive learning. Outside the classroom, students participate in a wide range of activities including athletics, student government, clubs and community service programs. Summit students successfully transition to area mainstream high schools. The Summit School educates children with unique learning styles to their full potential. The Summit School envisions a future for students in which they mature into self-sufficient, self-advocating and successful adults despite their learning challenges.

Interior as Well as Exterior
Xii, Pope Pius, Pastoral Music
In his 1947 encyclical on the sacred liturgy, Mediator Dei, Pope Pius XII called for a deeper participation by all involved in the liturgy-aparticipation that would go beyond mere physical presence or grudging attention and lead to both deeper understanding and richer involvement-and he commended several practices in use at the time to draw lay people into a more conscious and active participation in Mass. His description of the need for both "exterior" and "interior" participation laid the groundwork for the Second Vatican Council's call for "fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations" as "the aim to be considered before all else" in the restoration and promotion of the sacred liturgy. These excerpts from the Vatican's English translation of Mediator Dei are taken from paragraphs 23-26, 105, and 194.
The worship rendered by the Church to God must be, in its entirety, interior as well as exterior. It is exterior because human nature as a composite of body and soul requires it to be so. Likewise because divine Providence has disposed that "while we recognize God visibly, we may be drawn by him to love of things unseen" (Roman Missal, Christmas Preface). Every impulse of the human heart, besides, expresses itself naturally through the senses; and the worship of God, being the concern not merely of individuals but of the whole community of mankind, must therefore be social as well. This obviously it cannot be unless religious activity is also organized and manifested outwardly. Exterior worship, finally, reveals and emphasizes the unity of the mystical Body, feeds new fuel to its holy zeal, fortifies its energy, intensifies its action day by day: "for although the ceremonies themselves can claim no perfection or sanctity in their own right, they are, nevertheless, the outward acts of religion, designed to rouse the heart, like signals of a sort, to veneration of the sacred realities, and to raise the mind to meditation on the supernatural. They serve to foster piety, to kindle the flame of charity, to increase our faith and deepen our devotion. They provide instruction for simple folk, decoration for divine worship, continuity of religious practice. They make it possible to tell genuine Christians from their false or heretical counterparts" (Bona, De divina psalmodia, XIX: 3, 1).
But the chief element of divine worship must be interior. For we must always live in Christ and give ourselves to him completely, so that in him, with him, and through him the heavenly Father may be duly glorified. The sacred liturgy requires, however, that both of these elements be intimately linked with each another. This recommendation the liturgy itself is careful to repeat, as often as it prescribes an exterior act of worship. . . . Otherwise religion clearly amounts to mere formalism, without meaning and without content. …

Ive been hearing this word a lot lately, and was hoping some personal insights or descriptions or stories of or about drainbows?
posted by:
Re: What is a drainbow?Sun, August 5, 2007 - 9:45 PMDrainbows show up and 'drain' all the resources at a Gathering and contribute nothing (in return). They usually show up just for alcohol, drugs and to hopefully see girls with no clothes on. Sometimes they like to start crap because the conditions at a Gathering are 'less than favorable'.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 6, 2007 - 8:46 AMyou can also find "drainbows" all over the country.they are the ones who over stay there welcome,eat you out of house and home.don't have any respect for themselves or anyone else around.some of this id due to plain old ignorance and not catching on to what "family" is all about.all the while claiming to be family to get what they want from people.this also includes the ripp off's and scam artists.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 6, 2007 - 4:56 PMYeah this makes sense. A friend of mine had invited a could people home from arkansas gathering. All of her roomates had called them drainbows, and i didnt realize what they meant until your post. They sat around and ate and drank and smoked until the house was tapped, then moved on. Every family is dysfunctional, but why do some people feel the need to do this???
Anyone have a particularly telling drainbow story? Drainbows deff. carry their attitude and demenor far from the gatherings
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 6, 2007 - 5:54 PMA drianbow is some one who has not found a way to be Radically self reliant....
That being said without the family I have who knows???
I Could have been lost longer...
Rainbow is mostly female (yin)
The Burn Is (yang)
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 6, 2007 - 6:12 PMCan this be addressed as something more serious,it appears that it does not occure in the European Families of Unity or that in the providences of Canada as it has changed Family ways and Rainbow Family seems to have degraded itself directly to those called drainbows,I have fed alot of anyone who wishes to come by(I'm not a kitchen)and no one shared a desire to help even in wood,water or just to come back and be loved,or share love.It has Drained my energy to deal with them and I am critisised for laying it on to trail trolls blocking passage without a toke,the joke is really them
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, August 7, 2007 - 6:19 AMThe Drainbows I've met seem to be mostly young people. They've reached young adulthood with the values taught by their authority figures, parents, teachers, video games, and tv. Unfortunately, with that culture, they've learned to feel entitled. While they may have stepped off the path their parents may have chosen for them, they're waking up and really want to be a part of the Rainbow Family, they don't know how because they've not been taught what it really means to live cooperatively. They don't know yet that it takes all of us to create our families and that it's a cooperative effort, they've never lived it. I believe it's up to the elders to teach them what they've missed. I realize that there will be resistance from them, they 'don'wanna'...well, tough love, baby! We all know that current society has changed family structures, and that many young people grow up without authority figures in their lives. We also know that we learn from our experiences...perhaps it's time for us to give them the experience of working for what they receive...it's what our elders did for us...we learned, now we must teach.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 5:58 PMI can honor your opinion and your point-of-view but in a way it reads like a cop out.
A justification for behaviors that (often enough can hardly be justified.
I don't know that the young can be effectively initiated by example though my heart surely believes it. But I also believe that even the youngest of children should be made to account for some behaviors. It's not oppressing a child to be told that they're doing wrong and it isn't repressive when they are made to take a time out or are brought to task for breaking the sanctity of certain ideas, beliefs, codes, etc. That applies to both inside and outside of the family - any family - unit.
When the behavior of one is detrimental to the larger whole then measured, sufficient action(s) are appropriate. The problem I've found in past gatherings is that there's no consensus on what those actions might entail. It's sort of like the old fable about who'll bell the cat. Everyone wants to weigh in but ultimately no one wants to take the necessary action.
In ancient days, back in another time when Sparta was a city-state in Greece, people who were deemed problematic to the sanctity and security of of the city were 'drummed out.' That is, expelled by a formation of citizens who lined a path leading to the gates of the city. The individual was forced to walk the mile long path to the cadence of a beating drum which measured the judged person's steps as they walked to the gate where they were told to never return until such a time as they could prove to all others that they were worthy of re-claiming citizenship.
Perhaps a bit dated and archaic an example to be sure but I've often wondered how the fabric of the gathering might be altered in a postitive sense if the collective will of the Rainbow Family could muster and agree on something similar.
expel or dismiss from a military service in disgrace to the beat of a drum.
b. to dismiss in disgrace: He was drummed out of the university for his gambling activities.
Re: What is a drainbow?Thu, July 30, 2009 - 9:46 AMai ALMOST agree with this.
the actual values are spoken of by eyes of fire and, well, there are lot of
people in the Family who've been there for DECADES.
they call themselves 'elders' but they don't give a SHIT about native people, their prophecy or values...
the drainbows LAUGH and say 'that's cool, more drugs for us.'
perhaps older WOMEN like pure peacebird or deighglough would speak a piece, but they don;t go to gatherings anymore,
tired of being called WHORES by fifteen year olds who "elders" won't ever correct.
that shit has been taking place since the diggers declared the death of hippie.
sign me born in july '69
Re: What is a drainbow?Thu, July 30, 2009 - 1:54 PM"perhaps older WOMEN like pure peacebird or deighglough would speak a piece, but they don;t go to gatherings anymore,
tired of being called WHORES by fifteen year olds who "elders" won't ever correct."
Then I'll say it. If this is the response by any man or man-child towards a woman speaking from the heart to an assembled group of people then the event deserves the slow, strangled death that awaits it at some point in forward time.
The cowardice to take action in the face of a degrading situation for the sake of some bloated, contaminated definition of egalitarian 'rights' is certainly the sort of twisted anarchy that not only rips the fabric of the social contract but wipes its ass on it. I no longer want part of such a hypocritical charade.
I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing what's behind the curtain that I'm looking behind.
Re: What is a drainbow?Fri, July 31, 2009 - 8:12 PMWe are all of us teachers and all of us students of life. The one thing I know about gatherings, like much of life, is that if you go looking to been involved in teaching and learning, you will be surrounded by some of the most amazing people. As to what did or didn't happen in New Mexico this year, I am only one person and can only share what I experienced. If you're interested, see my blog posting at newmexicogathering.blogspot.com/20...tml
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

No, I don't go to Rainbow Gatherings any more, but more than likely, it's not for any of the reasons that he gives/gave.
Any women having sexual contact with him should beware, as he may be (unbeknownst to him) passing on a form of HPV that can cause cervical cancer.

You're setting yourself up for a charge of slander.
You're also in violation of the Terms of Service as a Tribe member.
Your willingness to say such things in a public forum without providing the accused the benefit to refute your claims suggests a cowardice that goes beyond the pale.
What a sad person you are.

Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, August 14, 2007 - 1:10 PMWell expectations suck to begin with...
Americans have been sold a lie since birth and I don't know what to do about that.
Americans are entitled and think theirs is the best system. Its what we have been taught amerika = best...
Here (USA)We are so separated and alone that it is easy to believe that the world is against us and that there is no hope.
We overall don't understand that there is no "away" "away". (we think if you put it over there and don't see it, it is gone and has no effect on others)
This country DESTROYS people to turn them into slaves for someone else's benefit. Low education standards, low health standards.
We are around 40th in almost every measure of what a great country does.
The people who run our country, and most other countries, to an extent at least do not care about life at all.
when a person wakes from the lies that have been spread by america they think that it is the same as what they already know, no surprise there.
so when they make it home their not ready nor do they know what or how they CAN contribute.
They are lost till they wake up.
That does not mean don't let them come it means WE ARE THE HEALERS.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 3:41 PMIt's odd to see the individuals defending the drains are unscribed members. For me it's hard to take anyone serious that won't at least indentify themselves. Europe has a much different mentality than the US. We have the entitlement mentality other countries even in Europe still don't get their basic needs and so they are greatful and respectful. (Not All) What happens is the young adults I have seen around are those that grew up playing Xbox and when Mom and Dad said get a job they took off and hit the road. These family members need time to grow up and if left to the world the world will teach you to grow up quick. A hand up and not hand out is what we need to provide.
All I can say is don't get jaded help those who need help and let the others figure out what they even want. You can't save everyone especially those who don't want to be saved. If we want to be free we have to accept everyone openly but, we don't have to carry them.
Re: What is a drainbow?Thu, July 30, 2009 - 9:49 AMand as an american i say that
people who think that 'get a job and work'
came to america in the 1600s and
established a WORK OR DIE policy
where once people lived in a paradise taht rainbow family seeks to repeat.
i think that's why rainbow came from a native american prophecy
the aborigfinal tribals in all natiopns, evn the british isles
had the same way of life destroyed by monotheism. DESTROYED! save memories.
Re: What is a drainbow?Fri, August 24, 2007 - 10:41 AMI love that... 'Radically self reliant'. I believe it's my human calling to help others in need, but only to an extent. If I help someone and they're not learning anything from my helping out, they either don't want to or can't and it's time for me to move on, find someone who will really benefit from my help. If someone can't become 'Radically self reliant' when taught by someone who learned from someone else, the chain is then broken and it's time to find a new link. I was drained just reading Kaya's story about Sarah and her friends, I wouldn't put up with that, and it's not being mean spirited, it's tough love. To spange is one thing, to sponge is something else.
Side note: I'm going to WV outta Cleveland 8-31, gonna stay 3 or 4 days. I have room for 3 and gear, maybe 1 dog. Green energy or jug the van helpful. Leave me a message.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, August 7, 2007 - 9:25 AMHaha...how's it going Brandon?! Long time no write! Heehee...
MAN I gotta Drainbow story!
On the road to AZ we stopped in NOLA for about 4 mos. Met a hippie mama named Sarah I. She was sweet as pie! Helped her sell jewelry and herbs, she let us stay at her place for a week on the couch. We were very courteous and left as soon as the week was up - no questions!
Fast forward a year and 3 months. November, 5 days before thanksgiving. Living in Phoenix AZ. A phone call comes in..."Hey, it's Sarah I!" I'm like SHIT! NICE! CoME ON OVER! Well, she shows up with about 5 friends. No biggie. I mean we only had a 1 bedroom studio sized space, but they said they'd help out, cook, clean and not stay long. I should mention that they also had 2 big dogs. Again, someone for my pit to play with - totally cool. Well, I was a working woman, and my man worked too. We were gone all day, but trusted them. At first, maybe 2 days? They did clean, cook, buy food, etc.
When they ran out of funds, we bought enough food for everyone to have a huge feast on Thanksgiving. We were happy to - no biggie. Cost us about $150 to feed all 9 people who were there. We didn't have much money, and actually Sarah spanged about $50 of it. Cool.
They needed to get jobs temporarily they decided. I helped one girl, Anna, get a job at an escort agency. No one else was working, no one else was looking, no one else was paying for shit. Anna took on the high responsibility of trying to make up for what she knew were her Drainbow friends. Well, they make her feel like total shit, and she freaks out and goes back to NE. Now, we have 5 nonworking hipppies in the house. It's been 2 weeks. They stopped cooking, cleaning, helping out entirely.
Sarah and her man Jake take the dog to get sympathy while spanging on an overpass in Phx. Dog runs into street, gets hit, breaks leg.
I take her and the dog to the emergency vet. She has no money. We each apply for credit with them. Denied. I pull $400 of my rent money to fromnt her for the dog - I can't let it rot in dog jail! We take it home. I continue to provide a ride for follow-up.
I should mention Sarah was what appeared to be a total Rainbow doll! Happy happy hippy! I knew she had a temper, but as she lived there, it became obvious that she was bordering on consistently violent. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, and allowed her friends to stay on HER vouching for them. I try to be good Family.
Thankfully, at the end of Day 17, the others move on, and its only her and her man. They still don't find work. She sleeps all day and does nothing. She smokes my shit, eats my food, etc. Ditto with Jake, only he was occasionally trying to find work (to no avail). Rent comes the next month, and cuz of the dog loan still unpaid, I can't afford it. Instead of busting her ass to help, or asking for help, or trying to get work at all, what does she do? Leaves, after calling me a cunt and threatening my life for asking for help so I don't get evicted.
Guess what?! I got evicted. I did everything I could to compensate, but still came up behind on rent. I suppose I should be thankful. Because we lost our home, we had to hit the road again, living in forests for a year or so on the way to the East Coast again. Great experiences and all, but I would've liked to have made the decision of when to hit the Rainbow Trail again ON MY OWN, eh?
And since I'm such GOOD FAMILY, I still love her. If I saw her, I'd hug her, and forgive her if she asked. As a side note, a mere month later her man secured a VERY high-paying job, they got a place in Tempe, NICE apartment, and never payed us back a dime, despite our asking months later.
Felt good to get that out! DON'T BE A DRAINBOW!!!! HELP OUT!!! PITCH IN!!! DON'T OVERSTAY YOUR WELCOME, OR WORSE, ABUSE THAT WELCOME HOME!
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 24, 2009 - 10:01 AMa-ho
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, August 7, 2007 - 8:57 AM"drainbows" are everywhere. they are like little vampires
who suck your energy, sometimes unconsciously, sometimes
not. there are so many reasons why some are like this that
its tough to know where to start. some don't know better,
some do. but for those who want to learn, they shall be
taught. for those that don't, they walk their own paths
until they figure out that their "ways" don't work out too well.
perhaps these young ones have seen the state of
affairs as it is (in their families, country & beyond)
and have lost hope and say fuck it.
know a good bunch of peeps that have. they have seen
nothing but hate, power, control, etc. we show them
something different. but only if they want to open
their eyes to see. as rainbow, we force nothing.
we understand the "drainbows" and live by example.
shit, i was a drainbow at my first gathering. i didn't
have a clue what was going on. i was very lost in
my life at the time. i came out of that gathering
with new vision, hope & love. we pray for all.
we's all family.
lovin y' all-
ps>there are so many "drainbow" stories. but you can probably use your imagination...
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, August 7, 2007 - 7:53 PMwe call then 'hospitality nazis' , take take take, and then vroooom, they vanish. Grrrrr.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 13, 2007 - 10:35 PMi kinda think the first rainbow and the teenager thing is less drainbow and more bliss ninny
the patience to allow it to sink in is necessary for the first time (maybe even two) of gatherings and then
folks ought to realize how all the bliss flows is by everyone throwing something into the pot
it takes a minute too to see where you can contribute if you are not used to being worth something or having it all done for you
both ways and others take adjustment to get into flow with it
I honestly think part of the flow for most people is relaxing into it at first and enjoying it so you have a good solid feeling of what you
are contributing too
not the same for folks who do nothing but bounce from place to place taking and not giving...how come so many like that are so insulting?
probably because it has worked for them to scare people into doing what they want or to make people search for the nice feelings again and not have to have confrontations......Lots of drainbows outside rainbow......I had kids stealing my sisters liquor when I lef tthe door unlocked so they could shower. We were 14 they were runaways same concept but smaller........I guess one of em was doin dope already, often enough thats a factor or a cover up for the issue like alcohol
Re: What is a drainbow?Fri, August 24, 2007 - 3:11 PMPerhaps the socio-economic class disparity within the family is a major factor that causes some family to be perceived as "drainbows". . . .....obviously if drugs are involved, this is going to play a role in all of this......heroine addicts are not drainbows, they are sick from their dope. . .alcoholics as well are not "drainbows" they are sick from their addictions......
and as well there are all different manner of perceptions, ways in which we see the world......folks coming from upper middle class backgrounds are going to see the world through a completely different set of eyes than folks coming from lower middle class backgrounds...
then I'm sure as well there are many stories of family coming from abusive backgrounds that might lead others to perceive them as "drainbows", when really their behavior is most likely the only way they know how to respond and interact with the world......
that is why the family is so large, because everyone plays an important part. . . . .. when you are trying to see clearly through Maya's veil, when you start to notice what babylon / samsara / maya, whatever you call it.....this is an awakening process, and sometimes i imagine folks don't even realize their "drainbow" type behaviors.....
no one is totally self reliant.. ..we are all interconnected.....and if you think you are the one who is totally self reliant, if this is how you are going to see the world, then what else are you going to see, but folks who are taking what it is that you have to offer.......
as always, harmony & blessings,
love, light, & a biscuit.....
and give thanks, rise up greet.....bless this new day
(to life)
Re: What is a drainbow?Fri, August 24, 2007 - 3:14 PMand as a side note.....sometimes you don't realize how great it is to have people at your house sharing your food with you until they are gone. . .......that's one thing i notice right away, when I'm in a town and I can't find any family......that's when i remember all the folks who have stayed on my couch eating all my food, leaving their dirty dishes in the sink.....and that's when I really miss them . . . ...

alright now I will friend you Brother! even though I cant type through the tears.
Re: What is a drainbow?Sun, August 26, 2007 - 10:33 PMhmmm
honestly, family is family because it accepts everyone
at the gatherings especially
at the same time it is important to create and reatin boundaries about how your energy is dealt with
allowing people to suck you dry doesn't help anyone
and people who are mean to those who are sharing with them
and folks who are caught in cycles of behaivior that injure others cause draining
...peronal experience notes: at my first gathering I looked someone in the eyes because someone hollered"this guy smokes crack" and pointed at him, said person did not say a word but I looked him in the eyes and instantly felt like I was floating in not such a good way (I had been sober for near a month at the time) I went straight to calm...YAY calm the first thing the guy said is that I looked like the victim of a psychic vampire attack
All of us have problems most of us have issues in their background, most of us have been a drain on someone else's resources or many peoples resources (being a drain is different than participating in normal intereliance and usually is not just a financial thing) at one time or another.That ;however, does not make the drain non-existent. Taking responsibility for yoursefl, even as far as recognizing and communicating that you don't have and you need help with things in a straightforward way, willingness to do whatever little things you can even if its just cleaning someones bathtub as a houseguest is all things to head towards and sometimes recognizing what to move away from and what perils may exist in helping those who are not going that way are all part of encouraging a culture of more responsibility in a micro/macrocosm sort of way
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 27, 2007 - 3:32 PMYes, I believe that we all take some responsibility in the energy exchanges around us.
If we are truly secure within ourself, then it is impossible for a person to "drain" your energy, wether it be on the material plane or any other plane.

Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 27, 2007 - 3:33 PMah yes and a side note, Until we realize this, there will always be seperation.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 27, 2007 - 4:24 PMI would have to agree with that. We have to be secure, especially emotional secure.
Sometimes it's hard for us to realize that the world does not revolve around us.
I wonder if this is your response everytime you meet someone who is feeling down, having a bad day, or if they are a friend falling in to cycles of addiction. Any time you meet someone who is not 100% happy, do you call them an energy vampire? If so, how do you function outside of your home?
Alot of this new age crap. that's what it is. A bunch of cock-a-mei-mei new age crapola. Just because you aren't in control of your own emotional state, or because you're not in complete control of the vibe around you, you go around labeling folks as energy vampires.....
if that ain't the stupidest thing i ever heard, then I'll be done seen about everything -

Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 27, 2007 - 5:04 PMTrue dat!
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, September 4, 2007 - 5:04 AMKaya,
I believe that many others can share a similar story. In my experience you just really need to know when to say no. 5 people, two dogs, one one bedroom apartment, sounds like trouble. The story usually goes that way: They help at first, then completely stop, then bail. I am really touched by what you did for their dog. Personally I think that if more family learned when to say no, there would be less burnt family. Because of my inability to say no, i have been literally robbed blind by people who claim to be family. I really don't consider someone to be family or rainbow just because they live on the streets. My two cents only and just an opinion to throw in the hat.
love is home
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, September 4, 2007 - 8:38 AM5 PEOPLE AND A DOG IN A ONE BEDROOM? THAT'S NOTHING.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, September 4, 2007 - 9:48 AMand that is that. it ends with ALL caps. whew.
Re: What is a drainbow?Wed, July 15, 2009 - 8:46 AMof course...energy vampires don't want anyone TALKING about energy vampires.
also of course...as soon as you hear "new age crap"
you can KNOW you are hearing from someone who is stuck in old-world energy, being sort of fakely sincere...
if there were never any people who had it down -- the real sharing love and non-miserable happy anarchy that the rainbow family of love and light actually is, no one would EVER find drainbows as out of balance.
as it is the one big give away is
the rainbow family prphpecy comes from indigeonous Native America. Effing Allen Butcher told me himself that the family had NOTHING TO DO WITH NATIVE AMERICANS...to me, he is one of the hugest soul-sucks there is.
Re: What is a drainbow? (family is family because it accepts everyone)Wed, July 22, 2009 - 8:38 AMi don't know when it happened but i know one thing
and i have debated it inwardly with myself. also, more importantly i have STANK
bad enough to know it was me. for long periods of time.
i think the mistake is when people STINK THAT HARD as a POLITICAL STATEMENT
and have no other political statements to make other than the same half-thought (if that) tired old cliches.
THAT'S when it combines and seems to form POSEURDOM.
i remember specificially being involved with punk scenes that have dissolved
but EVERYBODY didn't STINK UNIFORMLY.
NOT ONLY is that a form of counter culture conformity and thus the living, STINKING antithesis of anarchy
it's that they have no other political stance and don't even understand the politcial and social force of stinking body hygeiene.
stinking sends a message to the very priveleged that no one should have to pay extra for equal access to utilities.
but around the 1990s, folk being CONSCIOUS of the why behind that sort of social hygeiene faded out
and there were just more people stinking becaus ethe others stank. (i.e. they were going along with th corwd,
they didn't understand the politics behind class struggle. few people did.)
as the whole maelstrom of corporate cultural collapse grows more obvious and ominous
it will still be apparent to people: what side people take on class war.
when they are dirty caucasian youth who don't embrace the causes of the native americans -- AT ALL
and yet still claim that the rainbow family prophecy represents them
it's up to people who are feeling co-opted to do something different.
getting involved in a war with them is a MISTAKE
because it wastes time. if they wanna fuckin' stink, let 'em.
there are ways for people who care about the ORIGINAL GOALS of the rainbow family of living light to figure it out.
as it is now, i work in a boulder soup kitchen and there are drainbows here. they STINK so fuckin' bad it's almost hard to think
and they do shit like:
take and take and take and offer next to nothing.
own DOGS and have their dogs SHIT EVERYWHERE (adding dog shit flavour to the already legendary ass stink)
usually are misogynist/homophobic/racist
if you let their attitude represent as being what is really rainbow and don't stand out and make a difference
they are what people remember. next is you saying "well, i don't care, i don't care."
and indifference is the ANTI-LOVE that a certain mentality wants to rule and define our Family.
it's more important than that.
accepting everyone for what they are is fine.
but as it stands now the unconscious and denial based
are claiming to represent US and doing it in loud and STINKING ways that don't make us look cool, just cliched.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: What is a drainbow? (family is family because it accepts everyone)Wed, July 22, 2009 - 3:45 PMAfter catching some newer post here,I realized that some things never change,but there were glimmers of hope if one were willing to learn some basic repect that all find exceptable behavior.A-Camp seems to have come along way of dusty roads and change.It all started with the Nam vets who shared their life tramaus unfold in a world a fascism.Our government sent kids to fight our battles,and when they returned-who patted a tramatized vet on the back.The rainbow family allow their behaviors of alcoholic consumption to be accepted but not so much in sacred grounds.Though they drank,I have many brothers and sisters of A-Camp who would lend a hand to any fallen soul.
The Drinbows are like a parisite thriving on the willingness of a kind heart and/or that through enough intimidation you'd give up a joint just to leave in peace.I see them everywhere now.what created this snaphoo is hard to say.They are in numbers like gangs with good intentions-but only for themselves.I find it hard to turn a friendly visitor drop by and ask if I had anymore fruit cocktail,brownies,and even asked to cook and feed because they're hungry.There is a toll being taken here and it won;t last or be tolerated.To have concensus at dinner time seems to be innapropiate,but as a family,who would come an congragate by word of mouth-its always open ended.
So for my additions I thank my brothers and sisters-Mikal,Sister Tantric and Gina for your needed input and observances.I am clueless as to what to say or do anymore but tolerate.Not my choice of options because some just don.t care,and if you openly agreed it would be political hiracracy.
So for those who come-understand these few things---To fight any battle by force is that of ignorance.To win the hearts of those who care and love is to have won a battle.Always stand ground rather than tolerate one behavior.This may change.
Now for natural laws-thers the universal law of what goes around,comes around.Break these chains to change-its our only constant.Open up and have cuddle puddles-people love them and you might to.Open that rightous self,learn all that there is to learn to be free.You are your worst enemy to overcome,welcome yourself home and others will follow.....Stay Beautiful everyone
Re: What is a drainbow? (family is family because it accepts everyone)Thu, July 23, 2009 - 8:04 AMa little off topic, but I hate seeing a perfectly good word mangled...hence the quick etymology lesson.
"what created this snaphoo is hard to say"
snafu is the word and it's proper spelling. It's origin was in WWII as an acronym, standing for: situation normal-all fucked up; snafu. I may be mistaken but I believe I read somewhere that the first time it was used in literature was Joseph Heller's book, Catch-22.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 24, 2009 - 10:12 AMI see Rainbow as a safe place to come and learn what the culture we came from didn't teach us, that for our community to thrive, whatever it may be, each of us needs to play a part, SOMEONE creates the gathering, makes it happen... and it usually doesn't take very many gatherings to realize this and find your place.
While economic background may be an indicator, I'd imagine it's predominantly the suburban refugees and the trusty kids that are often the worst drainbows for the longest. Growing up in poorer families, I think many learn the value of their work and the need for contribution, as it is with the Rainbow Family as a whole.
I know brothers and sisters from rich families that (chronically!) leave their shit everywhere, because they never learned to value it, buy it again later. When we start to do more than just gather, this becomes a problem, and our (Rainbow) culture is rife with it, just like the culture we've born from.
Re: What is a drainbow?Sun, August 30, 2009 - 10:14 PM"I see Rainbow as a safe place to come and learn what the culture we came from didn't teach us, that for our community to thrive, whatever it may be, each of us needs to play a part, SOMEONE creates the gathering, makes it happen... and it usually doesn't take very many gatherings to realize this and find your place."
An honorable idea. But when those running a cultural deficit turn to others in the family in order to prey or exploit what mechism is (or should be) in place to deter such behaviors? I find it somewhat naive to default back to the whole treat with love and kindness suggestion suggestion. Not that I'm suggesting that's what you either mean or are saying Joshua. My experiences with Drainbows has been that anything other than calling people out on their behavior is often enough a way to continually encourage and enable such negative energy.
Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, August 31, 2009 - 5:12 PMI make full use of honest in those situations, if I feel like the circumstances warrant it. And not every time, but certainly a large portion I get thanked. Some times by others, sometimes even the person that got schwagged. In turn, I have to accept and consider if another belly feels the 'circumstances warrant it' and I get schwagged. It's happened before, not willing to take any bets that it won't happen again. But I'm not gonna lose much sleep over having called some one out.
Let's take Spirit for instance...if you've been around the last dozen or so years you will have noticed marked changes in his behavior. Initially, love and kindness was largely ineffective on the brother. He'd still put his dirty hand in the pots no matter how many times you asked him nicely not to, and more... . But he finally started getting barred from being in LOTS of kitchens at all, or only outside the bliss rails- like a dog. Now was this the nicest behavior? Hell no. But a combination of tough love AND love and kindness has helped Spirit to become receptive to the awareness that his hygiene and behaviors could be considered detrimental to the well-being of his brothers and sisters. He hasn't reached in to a pot in any kitchen I been in for a while now. 8)
But a friend of mine described what a drainbow is perfectly. The basic gist is you have two main qualities in people as the metrics: productivity and bullshit. As long as productivity out weights bullshit, we're all good. When the ratio becomes more bull shit than productivity, we need to reconsider your role in the movie.

Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 1:12 PMif you drain all the color and vibrance and love from a rainbow does it turn
a: white
b: black
c: grey and sort of faded looking like the energy's gone.
older heads are not necessarily cooler heads but we know: COINTELPRO
was created in the sixties and seventies precisely to make sure what
happens now is happening:
high holy hippies like "Butcher" insisting that the Rainbow Family of Living Light has nothing to do with native Americans.
it DOES and now whites who once again have coopted an indigeonous tradition are
wasting the wed
raping the young females and training them to act like it's all they deserve
and making the most rainbow people feel unwelcome.
we cal it koyaanisquatscene -- punks out of balance.
they won't wash and stink bad and eat a lot of meat and stink worse and are proud of it (or are they?)
they fagbash. that's never been OUR family.
basically the whole thing is compromised
and the shittiest, most hateful and fake people
took over, run it, "make rules", "organize" and basically suck the FUN out.
that's the drain.
the REAL family of love and light definitely INCLUDES to tribes of,
oh, the native woman who came up with the prophecy.
but "Butcher" needs to "be in charge"...
the crusty poseurs are not anarchy, either.
rushing to "go to the gathering and work" -- right. no sense of PLAY there,
it's the same rat race set up as the world.
oh, that and uh...
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 1:12 PMProphecy" "Warriors of the Rainbow"
There was an old lady, from the "Cree" tribe, named "Eyes of Fire", who prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-gis' greed, there would come a time, when the fish would die in the streams, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist.
There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to restore us to health. They would be mankinds' key to survival, they were the "Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 1:14 PM(cut and pasted by indigo tree)
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them of how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick".
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show the peoples that this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and understanding, and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again. These Warriors would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their path right with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people of the ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among people in all four comers of the Earth.
Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the peoples how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of life. Once again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils. They would be free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their brothers, regardless of color, race or religion.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 1:15 PMI HOPE ALL THE DRAINBOW GATHERINGS GET BUSTED.
fake people HAVE to suck up and make a minisystem just like the big system.
THAT'S why creeps left the city's filth on Shasta in '04,
that's why the tweekers killed that pig and there was blood everywhere.
They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature, and the Great Spirit. They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty of the Master of Life - the Great Spirit! They would find strength and beauty in prayer and the solitudes of life.
Their children would once again be able to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth. Free from the fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by the Yo-ne-gi and his practices of greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests be abundant and beautiful, the animals and birds would be replenished. The powers of the plants and animals would again be respected and conservation of all that is beautiful would become a way of life.
The poor, sick and needy would be cared for by their brothers and sisters of the Earth. These practices would again become a part of their daily lives.
The leaders of the people would be chosen in the old way - not by their political party, or who could speak the loudest, boast the most, or by name calling or mud slinging, but by those whose actions spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated their love, wisdom, and courage and those who showed that they could and did work for the good of all, would be chosen as the leaders or Chiefs. They would be chosen by their "quality" and not the amount of money they had obtained. Like the thoughtful and devoted "Ancient Chiefs", they would understand the people with love, and see that their young were educated with the love and wisdom of their surroundings. They would show them that miracles can be accomplished to heal this world of its ills, and restore it to health and beauty.
The tasks of these "Warriors of the Rainbow" are many and great. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow them on this road of returning "Mother Earth" to beauty and plenty - once more.
The day will come, it is not far away. The day that we shall see how we owe our very existence to the people of all tribes that have maintained their culture and heritage. Those that have kept the rituals, stories, legends, and myths alive. It will be with this knowledge, the knowledge that they have preserved, that we shall once again return to "harmony" with Nature, Mother Earth, and mankind. It will be with this knowledge that we shall find our "Key to our Survival".
This is the story of the "Warriors of the Rainbow" and this is my reason for protecting the culture, heritage, and knowledge of my ancestors. I know that the day "Eyes of Fire" spoke of - will come! I want my children and grandchildren to be prepared to accept this task.The task of being one of the........"Warriors of the Rainbow".

Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 5:38 PMTHAT'S why creeps left the city's filth on Shasta in '04
Jesus, I remember that. I left feeling ashamed. Several of us spent six hours trying to help clean that town of as much trash and refuse as we could. I left feeling like I needed to take five showers. Not because I was dirty so much as I felt sickened that so many people could be so clueless and care so little.
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 9:18 PMDrainbows are more the sreet urchins and yes the freeloaders but may I say Most drainbows have serious Mental Issues that have not been addressed so like the aa folks say There for the Grace of God There go I ? Think long and hard about this my brothers and sisters. I hate that expression would not want to be YOU ! I say Communicate with love you win Minds and hearts and some of us learn TRUST, Yes integrity must be shown and explained to some for they are Just late Bloomers. Be someones Spiritual guide. Be a mentor to a lost soul some time. It is important to remember to be teachers and sometimes you will be the student. Be Kind, Be wise and always Only Give what you are wanting to return in ABUNDANCE. Come on people get real You are an image that of yourself you see in others , mirrors. Just being too depressed to often can be drainbow to a friend. It all about Life is for Learning like Joni Mitchel sang when she wrote Woodstock !
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 5:34 PMWhat is a drainbow?
A drainbow is an individual (or a group) of folks who come into the nearest town where the gathering is being held - usually a small town - and proceed to steal from the local small businesses that are run by people just trying to get by. A drainbow is that same person (or group) that skulks around the same town and steals the drying clothes of a clothesline in someone's back yard.
But most of all a drainbow is a mind set. A sense of absolute entitlement that allows a person (or a group) to dismiss concerns or consideration of the social contract so that in the end seeing to one's needs and wants takes precedence above all other things.
Drainbow has many synonyms: parasite, thief, deadbeat, bloodsucker, freeloader, leech, sponge, moocher, loser....
Re: What is a drainbow?Tue, June 30, 2009 - 9:11 PMYes all of that maybe true but they come from families that may not have taught them well and it is our duty to help them in their path to learn how to do the Random Acts of Kindness. i also heard once there was a commune in Drain oregon, Is there such a place that ever existed. No Family is perfect and back to the Garden like Woodstock The gathering of the rainbow tribe is to teach TOLERANCE remove the Ignorance so sayeth Gina Shama mama !
Re: What is a drainbow?Fri, July 3, 2009 - 3:33 PMMy son's father is a drainbow. I took him to his first gathering last year hoping he'd catch some lessons from the rest of the family since he doesn't listen to me anymore, but he is - let's just say - resistant.
I don't know how to keep my son from being influenced by that except to keep exposing him to Family. I have my faults as well, and that's what keeps me going. I give too much! Since I was a child, I gave to try to influence people to like me. Giving with the expectation of winning hearts and friends isn't very healthy. My Family, however, taught me that when you make service to others a regular part of your life, it will be repaid in ways you never expected, and almost never by the people who you expect to get it from. Made me a little less cynical, at least. I still have much to learn, as I am still here roaming this planet!
LOVE to all the family like me who couldn't make it home this year.
Re: What is a drainbow?Thu, October 13, 2011 - 3:31 AMJust read the posts here. My only addition is my own story. My 1st Gathering was in 1986. I was traveling with relatives in FLorida met a rainbow brother named piper I think and he brought me to the gathering that was an island off the Keys. I was 19. I showed up with nothing, and left with a back pack and other traveling supplies. I knew nothing about how to take care of myself and was shown love and acceptance by the people at the gathering. I hooked up with Van at that gathering and traveled with him for 4 months, ending up in Gainsville Fl. I was sick, dirty, malnurished and still did't know how to take care of myself. I ended up in the old swamp house with Rainbow Bear, Paul, Paul, Deighglough, Krishna Doug, and others. THese kind folks fed me, let me contribute nothing, do nothing to pitch in--you name it. I simply did not even realize that I should have been helping. I was that not tuned in. I ended up getting psychotic after taking LSD and these same folks baby sat me and took care of me when Van split. I was a drainbow. I was young and naive and came from sheltered background--I was not maliciousley being draining--I just was incapable of putting anything into the pot. I would have surely been very bad off if I had not been taken care of by these kind brothers and sisters. I grew up over the years. I learned how to contribute. I lived with Rainbow Bear 20 years later and we shared a home and split everything equally and were able to host other family...I was a young mother and I had grown up. I am truly grateful for the many folks who were there for me when I was too dumb to wipe my own ass. THese were my thoughts upon reading these posts.

Re: What is a drainbow?Mon, May 6, 2013 - 10:03 PMThere was someone at a recent Rainbow Gathering that was more sober than almost everyone else in attendance, had been to several other Gatherings in the past, and was one of the original administrators for the invitation webpage. Despite all of this, he was considered a drainbow and told to leave. How could this happen?
First of all, this was the first ever and at the time of writing only existing Rainbow "Crystal" Gathering. If you are not familiar with RCL, google it. The drainbow 's reputation arrived before himself as one who leaves his stuff out everywhere, taking but never giving. His first week at the Gathering was no exception in which he proceeded to make what he called organite and others called toxic waste. Whatever it was, he completely and continuously covered a community and dining table in one of the kitchens with what he even admitted to be toxic materials. He then proceeded to leave this stuff strewn about the limited community space to sell his work for funds that were never seen contributed towards magic hat. He left for a week to do this and came back for another week to make more. His second time at the Gathering he asked to buy produce from neighboring farmers without having cash on him, claiming to pay them back later which never happened until he was asked to do so the day he was also asked to leave. One neighbor was so bothered by his persistent begging and taking without giving that he had to ask him to leave at which point he came back to the Gathering making criticisms of a neighbor who lives in the area permanently. A few days later he was reported to have been in a communal area of the Gathering criticizing Rainbow Gatherings without any sort of solution or desire to find a solution to the problems he saw. A few more days later he left again for a week and a few days after returning he was told to leave.
Was it right to consider this person a "drainbow" and right to ask him to leave?

I have addressed this at another thread on this tribe,
"Re the Warriors of the Rainbow as prophecy : Native American, and also Mahayana Buddhist, but NOT Abrahamic"
It is important to note that there are SEVERAL prophecies involved, and that the teaching and community is open and universal.
"The vision I see is not only a movement of direct democracy, of self- and co-determination and non-violence, but a movement in which politics means the power to love and the power to feel united on the spaceship Earth... In a world struggling in violence and dishonesty, the further development of non-violence - not only as a philosophy but as a way of life, as a force on the streets, in the market squares . . . - becomes one of the most urgent priorities."
Petra Kelly, Green Movement organizer
The rule of no realm is mine, neither of Gondor nor any other, great or small. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task, though Gondor should perish, if anything passes through this night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I also am a steward. Did you not know?'

It appears that they would fit but I would like to be certain. At this point my R20 is stock but the rear wheel has been changed out with one rated for 35 psi and the front one is stock but not in that good of condition.
Also, I am 5'-9" and the seat height would be better if I could go higher but I am at MFR's limit but even a half inch would be a big difference. I know I can get mountain bike seat post that is longer but then I have to change my seat for a single rail.
I like the Stock stem and tube but might like more height so higher handlebars may be in order.
But I am digressing. Tires first.

No complaints here! It was very good. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly *except* I threw in 6 frozen skinless chicken tenders and added a table spoon of minced garlic, a pinch of crushed red pepper and a dusting of cumin along with the salt and pepper. I also added an undrained can of diced tomatoes when I added the cream cheese. I needed it a little thinner since I served it over brown rice. The family still added chips to thiers. Everyone loved it.
I was looking for something different and stumbled on this, didn't sound real exciting but was my type of dish, quick and easy. Threw the stuff into the crock pot, taking a peek at the progress now and then, yipes, didn't look so good. Towards the end stirred in the cream cheese and added a little cheddar too. Still didn't look like much. Poured it over previously cooked basmati rice topped with additional salsa and put in the oven to hold until dinner. WOWSER, talk about comfort food, great taste, Mrs Rascal raved about it. Tis a keeper indeed, thanks Tish.
I love this recipe ...family and freinds are always requesting it. I have served it over curry rice and pigeon pea rice, made into a dip, and made in quesadillas. I do add a larger jar of salsa than it calls for, light cream cheese and two cans of green chilies.
This is my go-to recipe for big family functions or pot lucks. It's always a huge hit and people gooble it down. I usually use 2 cans of black beans and reduced fat cream cheese. I put frozen chicken breasts in, then shred them when it's cooked. Always serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Everyone always asks me for the recipe.
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!!! Oh my...the kids ate and ate and ate!!! I did make some changes, but not much!! I only had hot salsa on hand...so I used that, plus a can of petite diced tomato and a small onion diced. Also, I used sour cream instead of cream cheese, once again, because that is what I had it onhand. I didn't read the recipe right and I added the sour cream at the beginning, so it looked kinda grainy...that is ok...I used frozen corn and the 2 cans of black beans (rinsed) I added the corn and black beans in the last hour. My new favorite way to cook rice is to use chicken stock instead of water. YUMMMMM....it was easier for me to just add the rice to the crockpot right before serving, so that is what I did. Also, the chicken was put in the crockpot whole, and I just shreaded it right before serving. My 10 year old said, this is 100% a keeper!!!
So awesome!! I used frozen corn instead of canned and it made it less mushy. My hubby asked if I would make it every week!!
Our house thought it was good. I cut my chicken into about 1-1/2" cubes, used 16 oz bag of frozen corn. Added about 1 cup water, and added 1 TBSN of chicken base, and cooked on high in my electric pressure cooker. Done in 10 minutes!
This is a great basic dish. It's easy to adjust to accommodate individual tastes. I used more beans and less chicken. I also added some cumin and chili powder. It was great served over rice. Next time, I think I'll top it with some chopped cilantro to give it a little color.
delicious! hubby & i were racing each other to kitchen to get more out of crockpot!!! so easy too! we're going to try it with tortillas, rice & refried beans next time!
I thought that this dish was just ok. It seemed to lack some type of seasoning. I served mine with rice and it seemed to soak up the juice and flavor so the chicken seemed a bit dry. I think I will make this again, but next time make it for more of a nacho topper for maybe a big crowd.
