With all the wretched fury of the sea, with my fists white as froth. I intended to be murder tonight. There is homicide in my hair, as deep blue as the twilight's misery. I killed you with a tactic, with a purpose to my tide. Genocide by the fistful- Come, drown in my love and never want of more. Fill your lungs of it, abhor it, surrender. Eye of the storm, eye of wrath. I of all the sinners who dared to love beyond breathing. - -Annie - -ALL comments would be greatly appreciated.- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 16:48:57 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: ET: a friend, a fellow list member, an EDA, needs our prayers Hi everyone. I first want to preface this by stating that I am not a religious man. I have always said I am not sure if I believe. I am writing this to all of you in hopes that I am 100% wrong, and that our prayers can and will help. So if others of you are out there that are like me and not sure of your beliefs, or even are sure and do not believe, please join me none-the-less to help someone who needs us. Just a few days ago, while chatting with a longtime, yet quite young member of the Jewel/EDA list, I found out that she is possibly facing a battle against cancer. She will find out for certain this weekend when test results are revealed. Respecting her privacy is of the utmost importance to me, so I will not say who it is, of course. However, as I said before, I hope that I am wrong in my unsure religious beliefs, and that we can do our part and help and pray that all works out fine for her. Although she has not been too active on the list in recent times, she certainly used to be quite so. Thus many of you may "know" her via posts to the list (the last time we discussed this, she had only actually met a small handful of fellow list members). While I know sometimes it is hard for people to pray for someone when they do not know who they are praying for, I know you all can do it. So please, join me in praying and/or hoping for the absolute best for our longtime friend. We CAN help :-) Mike :-)  : \    / :                    -- o -- :                      /    \ :                             .---.           .---. :                           /      \  @    /      \ :                         / / /     \(   ) /    \ \  \ :                       //////  /    '     `       --\\\\ :                     / /   /  / :         :   --\  \  \ \ :                    //  / /   /   /`     \     --\\ \   \\ :                  / /   /  /  / /  . .  . \ \  \    \   \ \                     We are everyday angels. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 0:48 +0100 From: mobilemaRty Subject: RE: ET: a friend, a fellow list member, an EDA, needs our prayers this is for whatever her name is, wherever you are, we think of you with prayers and good karmic thoughts, and wishes, why not some lil faeries to lift their wands too.. may god bless you. ~maRty + käre gode gud bevara denna flicka besvara hennes dröm om att bli frisk och att få leva ett liv som oss andra. kom vaka över henne med din guardian angel lyft henne upp i dina starka armar och om hennes dagar vore räknade idag kalla henne till till dig där hon kan få ro och evigt känna trygghet. + if anyone would care for a translation, puh-lease lemme know, okie? i'm kinda tired, it's uh late.. nightee* :) ((did u get any of dat, sweetee?? ;)) ((don't werry! i'll tell you tomorrow )) ((love you taRa! inside brackets.. :)) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 22:13:54 -0400 From: shivergirl Subject: ET: ~a light-skinned virgin in india~ + loving you is like sleeping on top of the covers in an insomniac state where women wear slits of eyes that are only allowed to be closed when a man walks over them with his boots and then she is dead her vagina mutilated physically abused for the existence of a clitoris meant to bring natural pleasure until it is circumcised like rights to life and land and choice voting privileges and the like leaving the house unsupervised visits without permission equals no admission because no penis means no power for a whore and all that stretches out on the filthy mattress is more deflowering capitalizing on crime's third biggest industry the mother of porn exploiting women's sexuality trading life and respect for ejaculations and money flipping past the Virginia Slims and lipstick whims not to mention all the aging Gloria Steinems past their prime still protesting the crime when feminism became a euphemism for basic human freedom did you sit up and take notice or did you turn around and run and how can you rape her then give in obey the law and marry her only to kill her when she does as you do and takes a lover it's happening all over in over a dozen countries or more and it could be your sister who has HIV or a forced emotional hysterectomy even when she is pregnant for the tenth time living without a dime in a dirty infested cage just because she was born with breasts instead of a flat chest and nobody takes the time to realize she also has a face you and me but for a slice of geography and we realize we are oh-so-lucky because to us it is only an article to discuss over lunch something to be enraged about momentarily before we forget how the other half of the world's girls survive on nothing entirely + ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V3 #251 **********************************
