Virtual Candles for all Rudies...

[JoanM]

I know it's hard to remember to light candles and it seems every day there is someone else we need to remember and support, so I've started a new group of virtual candles, RINS

Rudies In Need of Support (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=RINS)

This way we can keep them going and name specific Rudies and their families when we light candles. Let's see how this works. jm

[Sara]

Good idea, Joan. I added my candle.

[Kath of the Guitar]

Doc.....You Rock! ;)

[hoops]

wonderful idea Joan. thank you
peace
hoops

[marjan]

Not sure if this will work.. it might be not to personal enough.

[razal]

I like the idea, Joan.....:)

[angelgirl]

Lighting a light for someone works for me!
A welcome link, Joan.
Thanks for setting it up.

[JoanM]

Marjan you can personalize each candle and light multiple ones so you've got a lot of folks covered. I just lit a couple more. In spite of the season which should be one of good times, we've got more and more friends who need all the support we can give them. jm

[JoanM]

Light candles for the new year and support of our friends

[marjan]

No worries I´ll light a candle for everyone who needs one

[hoops]

I love this thread

[Bat]

Feelin' better, little Hoopie, a little more in balance? I sure hope so...want you to start out the New Year right! :cool:

[hoops]

Yes Bat, I'm feeling much better. if i didn't already have massive pain on my left side from nerve stuff from scar tissue, I would have been just fine. I'm walking with just a cane and i'm able to get up and down by myself so i am doing much better thank you

[paularoid]

. . . . . LIT! . . . . . and signed.

[Bat]

Adhesions can be hellish, Hoops. I sure hope you can get some relief from them...is there any treatment, such as laser, for them? I think you should be getting the best of care absolutely free from those idiots who put you through this in the first place...It should never have happened!! I get so mad!!:mad:

[angelgirl]

Bumpity Bumpity Bump:)

[hoops]

keeping them lit
thanks bat...april, just think april
peace
hoops

[Eva]

Good idea. Also to light several ones and make them specific
(was that even English? :confused: )

Eva

[JoanM]

sure that was English Eva...
I just lit some new ones including:
in celebration of passing the stone
thanks for Beth being well enough to take a Rudie Road Trip
thanks for Jenny's heat, now let's work on the surgery and job
Healing for Rudies who need it
New job opportunities for far too many Rudies out of work

let's keep them lit folks, in thanks and celebration and in prayers and requests, but most of all in support jm

[hoops]

Amen Joan, Amen

I just have to say that I'm really delighted to be here. Not that in any way I thought that a forum of Janis Ian fans could really be anything else but nice people, but I didn't expect to see just how much a family you all are. It's warmed my ever so slightly sceptical heart!

[Elliott]

Larkhall Linda, you have no idea how welcome you are here... it just get's better and better. Happy New Year! Best, E

[hoops]

LINDA! Welcome aboard! this is an incredible group of people, who do very much ffollow the lead of an incredible artist. we are a family of sorts, we have done many things and shared many of lifes biggest and best expiences and been there when someone was in a state of thier worst experieces. This is a group of folks who do much more than talk the talk, and i'm proud to be among them., Please join us for fun and joy and all the things that make life worth living

Hi Linda, welcome to the board... A place where strange is often if not always commonplace but its hard not to find a friend if you look...


Linda, welcome, and thanks for speaking out...there are altogether too many lurkers in the forum who need to come out into the sunshine!

Hey Bat... I want to be a lurker when I grow up:eek:

Don't forget to light the Rudie Vibes candles!

[Dee]

Just lit one for all of the earthquake victims and survivors in Haiti this morning.

[razal]

I will follow your excellent lead....this is a country that has not recovered from previous disasters and now this....

[Bat]

That poor country is a disaster all its own. Have you noticed the space photos of it...the Dominican sided of the island is all forested and green, the Haiti side is completely denuded of greenery.
That presidential palace wasn't built any better than any of the rest of the buildings in the island...it is a total wreck.

[hoops]

there are still people needing all the help they can get
peace

[Eva]

I will light a candle for a very dear friend. He is a steady playpartner of mine (yes, one of those) for some years now and we are good friends for approx. 8 years. He is transsexual (female to male) and now, years after starting taking testosteron and having had chestcorrectionsurgery, he has now made the decision to go for the 'big' operation. Down under, so to say. It will go in two steps and next week he will have his first surgery for it. He is very nervous. I love him dearly and I hope he will be allright. He is such a warm, kind and beautiful person, in many ways.

He is not a rudie. But I think the candlepage has built-in combined Rudiepower which is a force to reckon with. So I think it's fitting to light a candle for him there.

Her candle is "Anne"

For those of you new to the board, the Virtual Candle site is an independent website maintained by gratefulness.org. Over the years Rudies on the board have set up special sites for various Rudies who were ill, going through difficult times, etc. Thus there might be one site for Rudie A, another for Rudie B, etc. Last December I started one site (see my original post of this thread) that we could use for any Rudie or friend etc who was in need.

You click on the RINS link above (standing for Rudies In Need of Support) and you're taken to that site. You will see candles. Some burning and some new and unlit. You can light any unlit candle. If you put your cursor on the base of a lit candle you will see any message that is related to that candle. (Some candles do not have messages.) You can also click on a burning candle and see who posted it (if that person chose to put their name) and what it says. To light a new candle, click on one that isn't lit and you'll be walked through the simple process. Lit candles burn for 48 hours. It is a concrete way to show our support and I personally take that time to remember those in need, reflect, and gain perspective. You can light a candle for anyone you know who is in need, it does not have to be a direct member of this online community. When you see posts here on the board from people asking for Rudie Vibes, lighting a candle is a concrete (but not necessary) way to show that support. Joan

There is no charge nor do you need to register to use the virtual candle site.

I posted this in a separate thread since many who don't understand this thread never read it. jm

I've been so busy savin' my Dad's artistic butt (long story) I got out of the routine. All fixed now for the moment.

[hoops]

what a great day to light candles the ending of Chanukah and the beginning of Shabot

I'm on the road but just went to light some more candles...don't let the light go out. jm

...don't let the light go out.

As long as there's one Rudie left alive somewhere in the world, that's not going to happen... of that you can be sure.

[hoops]

amen to that Rich

Debra and family - you're in our thoughts...

I know it's hard to remember to light candles and it seems every day there is someone else we need to remember and support, so I've started a new group of virtual candles, RINS

Rudies In Need of Support (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=RINS)

This way we can keep them going and name specific Rudies and their families when we light candles. Let's see how this works. jm

Just noticed it was a year ago today I started this thread after we'd had separate ones going for different people. Guess it's working, thanks to this caring community we're of which we all are a part. jm

I just lit some more candles, the light was getting dim...jm

[hoops]

may this moment be the beginning of a lifetime full of effective, happy, love filled moments

This tired old world needs a thousand points of light. We just might be the folks to deliver, though in manageable doses on a weekly basis.

[richthelandlord]

Lots of little lights can still make a lot of light...

[hoops]

amen Rich

Looks like a hugely influential musician could do with a little bit of Rudie loving.

He always said he wanted to die doing what he loved - but he sometimes pushes a little too hard and he's going to get his wish sooner rather than later if he's not careful...

[hoops]

that didn't hurt a bit

I'm working up a big batch of Rudie Vibes for Sara.

I have no idea what's troubling her, but if anything is troubling one of us, then it's troubling all of us - and we've got vibes for that.

[hoops]

Rich, amen to that
