Retardation is generally based on various IQ tests. The IQ test determines the level of retardation. I do not know that Adrian was retarded, because it didn't specifically say he was low functioning. I appreciate your comments, but I would just like to let you know that regardless of wether or not the a person has brain injury, if he or she cannot express their intellect, they are probably considered mentally retarded in one form or another.

Well, here I am contributing to another NJC thread... > Okay, I know only a few people actually filled that out, but so far, all of > them chose Chicken Pox as their favorite childhood illness. I was just > wondering if everyone's fave was "the pox".... I personally hated the chicken pox. I don't remember it very well, since I was only 4, but I have a chicken pox scar on the bridge of my nose that I hate w/ a passion. So, people who didn't get any scars from chicken pox... you're lucky cuz it sucks to have them.

I hate to add to the congestion of the list, but I thought the EDAs should know. As most of the people on the #jewel Undernet channel know, the G-stringed one, the Canalien, the Amazon Whore, Gianfranco Covello, is also Superman's little known twin brother, a.k.a. SuperGian. He is also the Beatles. Some poor, misguided souls think that "The Beatles" were four people, but it was really Gian, using his Superspeed to play all the instruments at once. It was all part of the plan to colonize the Earth with the kryptonian survivors of the cataclysmic end of Krypton. He was brainwashing the population of the Earth. Someone exposed Gian, and "The Beatles" broke up. Gian was reprogrammed and sent back to Earth. Four operatives replaced Gian as the members "The Beatles" as to not arouse suspision. SuperGian was sent back 25 years later as Gianfranco, and his mission was to infiltrate the EDA list. His cover? He is taking over the world with The Great Puddini, my queen, and Crunch. His real agenda? To take over the minds of the members of the list and enslave us in the name of Krypton. Not as grandiose as the global mind take over that he was asigned to as "The Beatles", but after he bungled that project and was exposed before he could take over our minds, this was all he could be entrusted with. Pud and Crunch co-conspirator? I think not. Are Pud and Crunch planning on taking over the world? Well, that's another post altogether...

Since we EDAs seem to be such great talent scouts (especially in the Toronto area, what is it... 3 artists in the last month?), I think we should form our own record label. We could call it 'Big Blue Records' or something equally appropriate. The first release could be the Jewel cover tape, with proceeds to the JPK fund. We've got the talent and ambition, what more do we need? God knows, we've got enough lawyers. ;) - -Dave McCluskey ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jun 1997 00:08:12 -0400 From: julie Subject: Amanda Those who replied to me personally about songs that make us cry all seemed struck by Amanda.

I have to admit, it takes A LOT for me to cry...not exactly the emotional one on the outside...but there are some songs that make me feel emotional, or sometimes make me cry if I'm in a really low mood...all Tori Amos songs: Marianne Hey Jupiter Twinkle I listened to those a lot last year when my friend died, so that's probably why they make me feel sad...but I like them.

Hi EDA's, I am sending this post for two reasons. My first is to ask my fellow angels to keep me in their thoughts. I have been homebound for the last 10 months due to a serious back injury, and would love any words of support and encouragement from any angels. I'm asking for those that believe to keep me in their prayers, and those that don't, please hope for, and encourage my recovery. I don't want to sound like a whiner, but am hoping that someone out there may have some words of wisdom to pass on to me, or some understanding of what I am going through. Thank you Angels, for listening. On the other hand, I am also wondering if ther are any EDA's that are in BC, Canada, especially the Vancouver area. I hear about all the other EDA gatherings elsewhere, and am wondering if there are any EDA's here. If anyone wants to contact me, you can feel free to e-mail me privately, or post something to the list. Thank you my fellow Angels, Brandee, a wounded angel ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #494 ***************************
