Please. Hi all. No doubt we are all horrified by the events that occured in the northeastern United States earlier today. I ask all of you posting in the it's "war"/it's not "war" thread to please stop it. It's pointless and it's only going to cause harm and hurt feelings if it continues as it has been going thus far. Let's concentrate on the facts of what happened today, and those it has affected directly and indirectly. They all need our prayers, they all need our help. Mike - EDA list manager/owner P.S. Please, if you can, give blood. There's been a national shortage for months now, and it's going to be worse after this. In my small city I know every center will be open late tomorrow to receive blood donations, I have to believe this will be going on throught this great nation of ours. Please give. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 23:39:30 -0300 From: "Juliane Souza" Subject: Re: [EDA] other countries Also, The international airport in Sao Paulo was closed. All flights to the USA was cancelled. - ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Juliane Souza" To: jewel@smoe.org Subject: Re: [EDA] other countries Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 23:16:42 -0300 The scene in Brazil: They evacuated all the American Consulates in Brasilia, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and Israel Consulates as well. The stock market was closed and the dollar price went to R$2,67, which is a record high price in the brazilian economic plan. On TV, they showed everything that was happening live. I'm very shocked to see everything happening. It's a shame what this terrorists did. I couldn't believe when I saw the building going down. I mean, OH MY GOD!! This is not a war yet, but as I see it's very close to one. I'm praying that US don't declare war, because if another world war comes there will be even more people suffering like the americans are suffering right now. It's sad to see that people can do these horrible things. I'll keep my prayers to all in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. And also to the families involved.

If you looked out the window, you could see it happen. It was horrible. Everyone was crying and freaking out, but everyone was there for each other too. In times of disaster, its always comforting to know that we can all band together and put away our petty diffrences. That at least we can all unite and keep everyone sane cause we are all in such a state of shock. My friends and I refused to leave each other. My Ex-boyfriends mother was in the trade center when it collapsed. She's ok but I called him all the same just to make sure and it was the first time i talked to him in 3 months. I'm just really worried and I cant look out my window because looking at an empty NYC skyline is probably the most depressing thing I've ever seen. I heard their using washington square park as a triage for all the hurt people and our stadium(on staten island) as a temporary morgue. this seems like a movie, its so surreal. ....Just my account of the day. *Kat ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 23:10:46 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: [EDA] This IS the place to ask if Jewel is OK enlight of the days' events. To those lambasting the person who asked if Jewel was out of NYC and alright, shame on you. SHAME on you. She was just asking a perfectly fine question in THE place to ask. This was the one of the only places to logically ask. It does not mean she was not concerned for all the others in the attack regions. I am sure she was as we all were. I tried calling 14 people I know in NYC who live or work nearby the WTC. I did not get through to any of them, but if I had my FIRST concern would have and was them, as I know them. My secondary concern was for all others. That is normal if you ask me. Of course Jewel still could have been in NYC. She has a record coming out soon AND a single coming out this week. She would likely have been in Manhattan too, and likely would have been on the lower half. Also, of course she might have reason to be at the WTC. She is an entertainer which makes her a businesswoman and the WTC is a place where many businesses were located. Maybe her publisher has offices there. Maybe some Atlantic offices are there. There are likely many reasons she'd have for being there. Maybe not, but maybe so. The point is, this is the right place to ask. Afterall, many people wrote MrBB and asked and they even tossed out a special JeweLink to announce they were all out of the area. Did you think about THAT before you wrote and lambasted the girl asking if Jewel was OK? This reminds me of the time Lenedra (Jewel's mom) was in India and scheduled to leave for the USA on the very same day an airliner crashed in India. Odds are Lenedra was not on the plane, but I called MrBB as soon as I heard the news. He hadn't heard of the crash and then checked and found out she was safe and sound.

I made the clarification of my name since I believe there are a lot of people on this list with Jewish descendant and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew I wasn't talking shit because of the Israel-Palestine situation ( I get invitations to join all sorts of hebrew organizations because of my name, since it's a very well known Jewish name) that's why I told were I was from. I sense there are a lot of young people on this list that might not know about things like Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, revolutions (we had one in 1965 in DR) from a direct source, maybe from books. Since I had the privilege of having parents that grew up in that era, I've been told personal stories about all these things that you read in books, believe me, when you hear your mom telling you how she crossed a road with flying bullets, how her office was bugged, How my dad dropped in Normandy on D day and made it alive, how he and many others found themselves without the help they were promised on "bay of pigs", you have another point of view of the word" war". I have very good dear and best friends that I've known since I childhood that live in NY, I stayed with them when I went to see Jewel on the pro v thing a couple of months ago, I was on those towers having dinner on "window on the world", plus one of my friends it's a pilot for United out of NY. All of them are Ok , thank God, but for those hours that I was trying to reach them with no luck it was hell, Ijust wandered about the people that were doing the same thing as I was and got the bad answer. So today it has not been good for me and a lot of people. You are very bright and articulate Sandy, I hope that you are a lawyer or will study to become one. My feelings will always get in the way of my tongue, that's why I get in trouble and that's why I still believe we are in a state of war. I respect your thoughts, pls respect mine. I cursed because I felt like it and apologize to those who found it not appropriate. .. I was just Blowing off Steam. luv Uri ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 20:24:35 -0700 From: "maria cristina silud sitoy" Subject: [EDA] JEWEL ON MTV CRIBS hey guy,,, peace!!! i'm the same person who posted and was mad about mtv video music awards show few days ago.but this time my heart si filled with so much gladness after experiencing such incident. i still feel grateful for mtv for their mtv cribs segment. last sept. 10, 2001 at around 8:00 p.m., i was able to catch up with Jewel featured on mtv cribs. luckily, i had my recorder ready so the whole part for her was recorded successfully. i've truly enjoyed watching as the segement itself had shown all the awesome designs of jewel's house. i cant' imagine that she already have gone a long way in her career and invested so much on her own home. i feel in love with the designs, decors and fixtures because they all capture my taste in home designing.my interest in life is more on house dsigning or interior designing so when i was a kid i've dreamt of becoming an architect but then that desire of mine didn't come true because my parents could not afford to send to one prestigious schools here in philippines. my passions in life also includes drawing and music, and when i graduted from highschool, my finally found a way to send me to college. with the help of my older brother, i was able to finish college but on my graduation day , the diploma that i've made my family happy was a different one but still it made me complete as well. i've successfully finished civil engineering instead of architecture. from my point of view, both courses are somehow related to each other because i was still able to use my artistic talent in drawing in so many ways whether at home or in the office. believe me, i've already watched different artists on mtv cribs but jewel's crib really tickles my fancy on. MAN! her house is my dream house, too. i love everything in it and especially those picture frames she hangs on the wall which are somehow quite holy in appearance . i, for one, is catholic and i've noticed that there were pecture frames inside her living room which subjects are saints ( i love them...) i'm 36 years old right now and still couldn't help myself from adoring Jewel in all aspects of her life as an artist. she has touched my life and she also brings out the best in me as a person. at my age, i never had any serious relationship with men before or married or engaged to anyone at all. OOPS! i'm not fat or rather ugly as you all think. but i've always loved to be single with company of paper and pen and music as well. i will surely marry a man who is also a Jewel fanatic. PS/ ( i hope all of you may care to take a look at my little crib), this is me in one corners of my crib... THANK YOU!!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!! sincerely, cristina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 23:22:25 -0500 From: "LH" Subject: Re: Re: [EDA] under attack You know, if it was somebody you were related to, then your tone would probably be different. My guitarist in my band has been to New York several times on business trips and even has a video tape of him by the WTC. He wasn't there on business, he was there to "hang out"...and a lot of people do "hang out" there. It IS a landmark. What's wrong with expressing concern about Jewel ? As I said, I think the whole list is concerned about everybody involved, but being this IS a Jewel list, I think that mentioning the fact that Jewel was in NYC for a short time before this is relevant. I think it is very strange that some of the same people who were whining and complaining just last week that Jewel wasn't being talked about on this list are now the same ones complaining about Jewel coming up in the conversation. THIS IS A JEWEL LIST !!! THIS IS NOT A CNN LIST, A NEWS LIST, A TERRORIST ATTACK LIST !!!....the fact that we are discussing it is fine and dandy because people need to be able to express their emotions at this time and we as the EDAs should be supportive for those who have suffered or are having a hard time dealing with this emotionally. But to attack those people for bringing up Jewel seems a bit STUPID to me....I personally did not bring her up because I got the message from Jewellink about her being ok, and I totally forgot about her even being in the area at first, but once again many of you EDAs seem to want any excuse to be condescending to others. Try being a little supportive of those who are worried about WHOEVER...don't sit there and pick on the fact they are not worried about who YOU think they should be. Matrix It's not war till we find an enemy..... Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 22:21:25 -0400 From: "cymbaline" Subject: Re: Re: [EDA] under attack But WHY would Jewel still be in NY after the VMAs that were umm... LAST week? And would she have any reason to be at the World Trade Center? Yeah, maybe she was giving a free concert there or something. Think logically. NY is a a large state, and NYC is a HUGE city. And you don't just go to the WTC to hang out. Its a place of business. Dont just assume that just cause Jewel was in NY last week, that she still is, and that just because the WTC is in NY she might have been there. Think. For WHAT? Gosh, if she was in DC, you'd assume she was visiting the Pentagon (a military base) when you heard that was attacked. cymbie tree hugger - - -- when night falls ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 00:29:02 -0400 From: katherine732@juno.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Re: USA under attack On Tue, 11 Sep 2001 15:05:02 -0400 "Sandy" writes: > > I just saw this posted on usenet: >_____________________________ > EVERYBODY!

The Stock Market HAS closed. It closed this morning right after the explosion and won't be open tomorrow. Who knows when it will open again. It might be the day after tomorrow, but as for now, it is CLOSED. Stocks in Japan dropped after people heard about our tragedies. Gas prices DID go up. Maybe not everywhere, but i did hear a report about increases in price. And if we do get ourselves into "a conflict" chances are it will be with a middle eastern country, or persons residing in such. These are the countries that provide much of our fuel. Fighting with them would jepardize our fuel import, therefore causing prices to go up. It is not so unrealistic. As far as keeping your eyes and ears open for strange behavior, that's a good idea. Not everyone thinks that these attacks are over. Why do you think that they hid presidents and closed builings. People are worried and being careful is a great way to stay aware of possible harm. > You've got guys shooting themselves in the knee cap to keep from being drafted. > I don't know where you got that info. from because i watched TV for the better part of 10 hours today and listened to the radio for 3, and heard nothing of the sort. So, unless you are getting special reports from somewhere, or know people that are doing this I don;'t think you should be saying that it is happening. And while we are on this topic people ARE being called into service. Two of my co-workers got pulled out of work today to report for duty in the ARMY. God Bless Them. And I have other friends in the servive that probably got called too. So, we may not be at war, but for those that have been called into service, it is just as scary. I live in NY, on Long Island, about 40 miles east of NYC. NYC is the closest city to anyone living on Long Island, so anyone with a city job, works in that city, in NYC. So, i expect that many Long Islanders lost family. Even here, 40 miles away from the city, roads and businesses closed down. Highways were left open for emergency vehicles only. They called in Doctors and Firemen from the island to go and help and gave them their own highway to get there. I have never seen the expressway so empty, it was quite chilling. I have a friend that lives and goes to school in Queens he heard about the crash on his radio and headed to his ambulance unit where he is an EMT. He said he could smell the fire all the way from there. He is now scheduled to work a 16 hour shift followed by a 3 hour break and then another shift. One of the women I work with was in the city this morning and as she was trying to leave due to this catastrophy she was told that to take her car over the bridge she would have to take passengers, so three strangers got in her car and she took them across to Queens. Another girl that I work with lost at least two people, or fears that she has. One other, had a brother-in-law that was in the building but left and got to his own building in time for them to start evacuating it. My company lost 7 people from our home office that were in one of the airplanes that hit one of the world trade towers. And the company that my old boss works for had two buildings in the world trade center. All in all, it was an awful day. Please pray for all of these poeple. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
