I don't think that what you're getting in exchange for the sacrifice is necessarily something of lesser value, but more of something that you feel is somehow _more_ important than that which you are sacrificing. And in this respect, there are sacrifices made in every case you gave as examples. By your own definition, selling stocks at a loss is a sacrifice, while giving up your own life so that others might live in a do-or-die situation is either not a sacrifice or you're saying that the person making the alleged "sacrifice" considers the lives of all those he's giving up his own life for "less valuable." Do you really believe that? Anyways, I think your definition of a "sacrifice" is much too rigid. But hey, we're all friends here, right? ;) volt "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!" P.S.

I must disagree totally with your definition of a sacrifice. A sacrifice is when you give up something of value to yourself for the good of others. Kerri Strug took herself out of the individual all-around finals, her highest goal in the olympics, by taking that second vault and earning for her team a gold medal. That's a sacrifice if I ever saw one.

I just received your kind words from Jewelstock-wow...words cannot describe my feelings. I was so floored and so touched, quite an emotional moment. I'm still shaking. You are all so awesome. When I found out that I had cervical cancer, I was stunned and crushed. Being a person who has worked with children all my life (and am currently teaching preschool), I never imagined the possibility that I may never have my own. But now, I feel so much more at peace (I know, that sounds kinda lame, but it's the only phrase I can think of that accurately sums it up) knowing that there are so many angels out there. I'm sorry that I missed y'all at Jewelstock...I would have liked to have met everyone. I've been reading all tthe posts, it sounds like y'all had sucha blast :) I'll be at the August 13 show at Nissan Pavillian, hopefully I will get to see some of you there. Thank you again so much. You are all truly angels-- Patricia ------------------------------ From: Barnabus Heckabus? Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 19:51:45 -0700 Subject: Love The Land Of Ozz Hey all you great ppl's, As I have Said a couple of times before I am really new to Jewels music. I just bought her CD about three weeks ago, let me tell you the song WWSYS is a good song yet it does not give justice to her soul touching songs that are on the rest of the album. The only other thing besides her POY album i have heard is her release on the MOM album . So to the point, i was wondering if i could get a couple of sugg. on some of her other stuff, Like the names of other releases or bootlegs that are on the market.

I feel much better now, but it's still kind of eerie looking at it. Anyway, thought you might be entertained. - ---> I don't remember feeling it at first. I was sifting through the various conveniences that fought daily for my weak attention and not doing it very well. I was fried. I had wrestled children who were out of their minds to the floor all day long when they tried to hurt themselves and I was the only one who ended up hurt. Scrapes, slices, and worst of all of course were the rug burns. But the kids were okay. That's what I do. I am affordable buffer material. I didn't pay attention to much at home. My bills, my girlfriend, my cat, my cleanliness were all too much effort most of the time. I watched a lot of television. And I slept. I felt like I had been sleeping for months. Occasionally, a young fresh thing on the TV would excite me briefly and I could remember the days when I would fall in love with one of their images and be sad. Not in a while, though. Nothing much was there. I turned 25. And of course, SHE brought me back a little bit because without HER the story is pointless and no one will read it. I heard her on the TV for the first time. It was like meeting your soulmate in a whore-house. She had weird teeth and I knew I was already done for. She seemed like someone I knew before, a very particular girlfriend in fact, but we didn't last long, so instantly I was worried. I still am. Ironically, my girlfriend bought me the CD and she now considers it a bad move. I don't. It reminds of everything I was in my youth and could be in my art and, most painfully, what sensitivity to the world I have lost. I used to be fascinated by driving to the grocery store, in love with the subtle banality of a stubbed toe, ..........ah, but it eludes me again. Again, it goes and I am left alone. So I went to see her. It was the most effort I have put into anything in months. I met people I don't know; I drove distances with them. And we converged and Listened and Sang and Talked and Hoped and then we drove away again. Did it happen? I don't remember already. What does she look like? Did it matter to her? Am I in serious trouble or will I get to have the sweet solace and horror of forgetting? Will the convenient things again become the important ones? Of course, the funny thing is that none of this has anything to do with her really and I apologize. I'm just depressed. Did you know, I used to be an actor and a writer? I used to live my life creatively; every conversation, every minor gesture or affectation was beautiful to me. And it slipped away and I didn't notice until I heard her sing. So what the hell am I supposed to do now? Sleep?<-------- Jon ------------------------------ From: Selena Martin Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 18:44:26 -0700 Subject: Selena chick, here. ED and gang, Ed, I think you were just joking around, but just in case you were serious, I'll start by being defensive. Don't worry, the word "chick" doesn't offend me. See, in addition to being a music lover, I am also a construction worker, and being a woman in a mans job, I surely cannot be offended by being called chick or babe. And I am very used to men seeing me as just a body, certainly not an equal. And Ed, that is not what was happening here, and until you spoke up, I was just going to let the fun fizzle out. Your post leaves me with a yucky feeling in my stomache. Nobody has hit on me ferchrisake. We were all friendly enough to know who was/wasn't married. Being that I am married, and my good-natured husband was at JS, I guess I was a safe one to kid around with. Sure, the stories of my beauty were growing a little far fetched, but it started as a kind compliment and at 34, it felt great. Maybe I'll have a photo of myself on one of the Jewel pages and you can see me and think to yourself, "what the hell was all the fuss... she doesn't even have big tits!" Or whatever it is that you men think.

She is outrageously beautiful YOUNG lady with eyes that smiled, who had the time of her life at JS. Too bad she couldn't stay for the Friday show too, but i'm sure she had a great time.

I know you said you meant all that in a humourous way and I guess I would've taken it in that way if I'd heard you say it. Instead, I read it after a very hard day and by the time I got to the end of the letter, I forgot about the beginning. So I forgive you for making me feel like a piece of meat, even though I know you didn't mean it to sound that way.

What do you guys think of that? I don't think Foolish Games will make a very good single, it is my most favorite song on POY but I cannot hear it on the radio for some reason, I think Morning Song (particularly) or Don't or Near You Always would make better singles off of POY.

I don't have any of Patty's music, but I was tempted to buy it there. >> Patty is really good, I just saw her last Thurs. when she opened for Jewel @ JewelStock (free concert Jewel gave for her mailing list fans). She did a cover of "Crazy" (Patsy Cline's not Aerosmith's). It is my favorite by her but on the CD I likke, "YOu Never Get What You Want" & "Every Little Bit". I'm still trying to figure out how old she is, some angles she looks 20 other s she looks 50. I think she looks a lot like Bonnie Raitt in the facial area.
