Food For Our Brains...Curing M S. With Food

2012-01-06T15:22:00.000-08:00

Thank you STEVE/drummer AND ANNETTE HICKS, owners of HOBBY STREET STUDIOS in Yelm for sending this video to me.
I was diagnosed with M. S. in 1999, after many years of severe problem eating...hospitalized for Anorexia Nervosa in 1994 etc. This just sounds right to me...gonna try it out starting today.

'You've Gotta Have A Brain'

2011-01-27T19:15:00.000-08:00

------------------
After watching this music video of Chris Medina, that I found on A.O.L News, Steve and I both had tears in our eyes....'Steve said, 'You're what keeps me going too Honey'. Yep, and Steve's what keeps me going. Love's like that, we've learned over the years. [Steve and I've been together since 1996, I've been disabled since 1999.]
Chris Medina's financee, Juliana Ramos, had a car accident just 2 months before their marriage. She has brain damage and is in a wheelchair. Her mom and Chris care for her now. Medina has lots of talent and a beautiful voice. Writes music too.
AND, Steve cares for me now, while I recover from a damaged brain, sometimes it's slow or confusing.....BUT, I get stronger and can do more, when he encourages me,....so, we encourage each other....through life's ups and downs. Everyone deserves a loving family, where they're safe and can be themselves. We're learning to give both of us space to learn and grow without judgement. Cool. Thanks Steve.
I'm so grateful for our marriage and my husband. He's such a fine musician...BARTLETT ON BASS is my very personal way of thanking him. 'Go Steve go'....Love, Jan

Well, First, let me thank you for checking for Steve's upcoming events.

He has no gigs booked at this time...well, a gig for next summer in July, in Kent...but, that's a long way off. not really what you're looking for. is it?

So, what's happening?

Steve's waiting to finish up the WALTER's BIRTHDAY band CD. They need to add vocals and harmonies...the last part of the process of creating a CD. Cool. The Keyboard [JON BARONI] and guitar [TOD LEMKUHL] are finishing up their instramental parts now, with st_robert is doing the recording. Drums [SCOTT ERCOLIANI] and bass [My BARTLETT ON BASS, of course. Jan] are finished for now and waiting for the next part.

Last night, 1/12/11, Steve got a call from his old friend, MIKE KARNES, up Gig Harbor way. Mike's organizing a 'workshop' for kids, teaching them guitar etc. Steve will be adding bass guitar instruction and examples for those lucky kids. There will be a drummer, showing his part and a fine vocalist too. Sounds fun. This is in the planning stages, when I know more I'll share.

I'm sure, Steve's getting 'itchy fingers'. He has such a great love for music, people have called him to jam etc. He'll be going out soon to, as he says 'make it happen.'

I just love this guy. Jan

In March, Canadian country superstar, Shania Twain will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame Canadian-born TWAIN joins past recognised great Canadian musicians, like Neil Young, Anne Murray, and Joni Mitchell. Cool.

Shania Twain's biggest hit was 'Any Man Of Mine' with over 12 million copies sold in the U.S.A. alone back in 1995. She later performed for over than 2.5 million fans on her tour. This has been the highest-grossing tour in the history of country music, so far. Just thought you'd like to know. Jan
I found this music news many places, all over the internet.... in fact. Cool Shania.

'The Good Samaritan'...That I sent To Bettye Johnson

Sent to Bettye Johnson on 1/10/11
--------------------
Bettye...Here's a strange story happened to me...Janet Rose-Bartlett
-------------------------
This happened before 1990, I'd say in 1987 or 88. Before I moved to Yelm [1990]. I was a nurse in Spokane. On a private-duty pediatric home care job. That night, I had the evening shift...3 to 11:30 pm. It was winter and cold outside...around zero, I guess. With lots of fresh snow on the ground.
The family [parents of the child] I cared for had left for the evening., when the night nurse took over the care of 'our' child, the parents had not returned. The child had to have constant watching. So, when I went to my car, I knew the night nurse could not help me.
My car was buried in the snow, AND a plow had 'cleared' the streets of snow...blocking my car in a large snow bank. It was freezing and the snow was getting hard and icy.
First, I got the snow off the top my car..then, tried to chip away at the icy hill around the car....no go. It was dark, around midnight by now...I was all alone.
I had recently returned from Yelm...where I'd been at an event....looked hopefully at the house with the nurse inside....wishing the parents would come home...OR...something.
Got into the car, sat at the driver's seat, shut my eyes and focused/blew/hoped etc. for a few minutes. Suddenly, I heard something outside...a voice? I opened my eyes and took a look.
A thin young man [20ish] was behind my car. He yelled 'did I have a shovel?' I did have a large window scrapper, would that do? He took it and started to 'shovel' at the snow bank...and just kept talking...fast, very fast....'he was going to his girlfriend's house a few blocks away...glad he saw me, it was so dark...how was I ever going to get out of here all alone, anyway?'...on and on and on.
He had cleared some of the 'snow hill' and thought he could push me out into the street. I started my car, while he pushed...and, my car was free....yay!..
Then, he came up to the window and asked if I could please drive him to his girlfriend's house...'It's only a few blocks away.'
Well, how could I say 'no'...after all he had done. SO, I opened the passenger-side door. He slipped into the seat....'Ready', he said strangely...
That's when I really looked at him....'What the ?' He had no coat, only a 'summer' cotton button-down shirt and light jeans....no gloves, no hat...but, what was so strange to me...NO socks!....just a pair of cold-looking leather shoes. He looked/seemed safe to me...just very odd.
He pointed straight ahead...that's where the girlfriend lived....'you can almost see it from here;, he said.
About 5 blocks ahead was FRED MEYERS Shopping Center...he pointed there. The parking lot was all lit .[spell] up, lights reflecting on the snow...seemed almost like day.
This was just fine he said...opening the door,getting out in the middle of the parking lot...
As he walked to the back of my car...I turned to thank him again....and I was all alone. Where did he go? I looked around...puzzled. 'Thank you' I said.
-------------------
Bettye..this really happened to me...never found out any more about this Good Samaritan . I wonder about it some times. So, strange....there was NO place the young man could have gone to....so quickly. Don't know any more...but, he sure helped me out that night. Janet
