I am certain many of you also prayed and/or had Andrea in your thoughts. I of course thank all of you too. :-) I sent each of the list and private emails on to Andrea and she thanks you all too (a personal message from her to all of you is below :-) Shortly after I sent the post , of which a copy is also below, Andrea informed me that the test results showed she indeed had cancer (the results were not a surprise, the news was expected). However, the particular cancer she does have is in fact one of the most highly curable kinds, so there is of course room for much optimism :-) So, with the proper treatment and regimen, and prayers from Andrea's family, friends (in flesh and online), we can all help do our part by continuing to pray and keeping her in our thoughts along with them :-) While Andrea has not been very active on the list the last year or so (one's senior year in high school can do that), she was at time very active on the list, and was quite involved with a number of EDA projects including the official "write the Down So Long video for Jewel" contest and the "20Q - - questions for Jewel" project, and is a charter member of the EDAF (EveryDay Angels Foundation). So many of you may recall her from those days gone by. (By the way, she also was planning on attending this year's EDA/Bearsville 2000 event next weekend until all of this surfaced). Anyway, again, I thank you for all of your replies, as certainly of course does Andrea, whose personal message is next. Mike :-) ___________ A message From Andrea: hi EDAs, I just want to extend my thanks for all your prayers and concerns. I'm sorry I haven't replied to anyone's emails yet, it's been a busy past two weeks. (Having another surgery, recovering, etc.) What's amazing is the kindness of strangers, people who don't know me keeping ME in their thoughts and prayers. You can't imagine how much that means, it has surely lifted my spirits. I still don't know too much yet, I have to have more tests done to see where the cancer has spread and from there the doctors will decide on treatments, but I will keep you all posted. Again, thank you for everything, you are all angels 0:) Andrea Rotter ___________ My original post to the list on June 30th (for the benefit of newcomers mostly): 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, 15 Jul 2000 11:38:25 -0400 From: Amelia S Vlah Subject: * Mention in comic strip So this may be old news, being from I believe '96 but its funny none the less: www.derfcity.com/o/secretsmen.html Derf is a cleveland cartoonist with a fabulously sarcastic sense of humor, and I was reading old stuff the other day, and found Jewel and Sarah M both get a mention in one... take good care all ~~~ Mia Vlah asv@po.cwru.edu, Turtalia@juno.com "On the whole I can bear a good deal of learning..." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 09:20:30 PDT From: "christie bellany" Subject: * "Do You" at Blackthorne Tavern The other night a girl came up to me after I sang at the Blackthorne Tavern in S.

I wasn't gonna feed the flame anymore, but this whole discussion on 'to be or not to be an eda" really irks me. SO...... I'd like to know how many "true EDAs" are on this list. How many of you make it a *regular affair* to go to homeless shelters and soup kitchens, and pick up trash on the beach, help old ladies cross the street, give money, save a whale, nurse the sick, etc? How many of y'all do that for the majority of your spare time? If that what makes one an EDA, I'll bet only a small percentage of us would be "true EDAs" then. And I guess if you get pissed off, you aren't an EDA either, because its not very "angelic" to snap and make rude comments.... I mean, we're only human.... EDA or not, we all get pissed off and say things. I guess I have to be an extremely nice person 24/7 to be an EDA, huh? and feed hungry people in my spare time. But I'm sorry, I'm not, and I don't. If y'all are such Every Day Angels who do all this kind stuff for humanity in your spare time, what are you doing on a computer anyway? You're wasting time that could be well used to give a homeless man money so he doesn't have to dig through the trash.
