Halo Angels. I was just thinking tonight that with all the pre-concert EDA gatherings that are being held and are being planned in the future with the US/Canada tour coming up we should all excercise some security precautions. 1) Try to bring a friend that you know and trust to each gathering. 2) Let a parent/guardian and/or friend, relative, someone you know and trust know where you will be, where you are going and how to get ahold of you if needed. 3) Try to contact *personally* everyone (within reason of course) who will be attending the gathering and introduce yourself to them. Get their real names. 4) Make up a secret codeword that everyone in the gathering will know and don't tell anyone outside of the gathering EDA's. That way anyone who isn't supposed to be there can be recognised. 5) Use the buddy system. If you will be leaving the site, take a buddy with you. Especially after dark. Thanks for listening. I feel much better now. Have fun and be safe!

Guys, Read this it's really interesting, it really makes you think! Kristin The Leo Lovin' Angel Please read the following 2 ethical questions: *Q1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded,and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion? *Q2: It is time to elect the world leader, and your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates: *Candidate A Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. *Candidate B He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening. *Candidate C He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks and has an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs. Which of these candidates would be your choice? *Decide your answer to both questions first, then scroll down for the answers. >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > >>>>>>> >> >>> > > > Candidate A is Franklin D.

So this is just Sandi writing to the eda-thoughts thing . . . ummm . . . I would like to share something with you that I think is cool . . . on Oprah, I saw an interview with Jewel, it was so spiritually enhancing that I began to write poetry for the first time in a long time . . . I wrote a special poem to my best friend/boyfriend, and I gave him a gift along with it . . . he wears it every day . . . I love him with all my heart and I hope that one day everyone experiences a love so great that it is indescribable. He has given me so much and I would like to share that with the world, or everyone around the world that is on this mailing list!!! To feel true love is to know exactly what it is like to be alive. I have no idea of what I am going on about . . . I just wrote to the list coz I wanted to and now this comes out. This list is a lot cooler than the other one I was on. I shall now bid you adieu . . . maybe I'll write again later . . . lotsa love and lollipops Sandi aka the happy fairy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 21:22:23 -0400 From: duckofprey@aol.com Subject: ET: Open bag, eat nuts This just moseyed on into my mailbox...... Mike :-) In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods: On Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase nesessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special!) On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap. On some Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost (But it's *just* a suggestion!) On a hotel provided shower cap in a box: Fits one head. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert:(printed on bottom of the box) Do not turn upside down. (Too late! You lose!) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating. (Are you sure??? Let's experiment.) On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (But wouldn't that save time?) On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.) On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness. (I guess the "New & Improved" one WILL cause drowsiness!) On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning: keep out of children. On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only. (As opposed to use in outer space. Or underground?) On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (Now I'm curious.) On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts. On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet, eat nuts. On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals. (What is this, a home castration kit?) On a childs superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly. (That's right, destroy a universal childhood fantasy!) ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V2 #150 **********************************
