I know that all I'm doing is stooping down to that level but I think that it seems now that the whole list needs to be reminded that not all of the people want to read what should be kept between two. If you've got a problem with what someone said, tell them. Tell THEM. Not the entire list. Personally, it doesn't matter to me what one person thinks the other. ("Frankly my dear...") So I don't want to read it. You got an issue with someone else? Tell them. Not us. Again, I know that in posting this to the entire list I'm almost doing exactly what I'm saying not to do, but too many people are doing it, so if you've got a problem with this too then no I don't want to hear about it, but if you must whine, do it privately.

As for NYC, ghettos, etc.... I dunno, my one visit to NYC in 2000 was great... I found the city to be far cleaner than I had been led to think by other people and TV... I did not have much time there, but I tried to walk everywhere, see everything while avoiding the tourist sites... Of the average tourist sites I did walk both the length and width of Central Park twice (once to explore it, and the other to get back to the PATH station), Times Square, WTC (unfortunately I did not have the funds to go to the top of it) and rode the Staten Island ferry three or four times (hey, it was free, I was broke..).. Other than those places I just wandered around looking at things.. It was good I think... Now, on the other hand, three days later I tried to hitchhike home to Texas.... To save time I took the PATH to Newark, NJ... Poor planning led to me only having a poor map that showed the NY/NJ area just as a bunch of roads, and so coming out of the station I truly had no idea about how to get to the highway quickly.. So, I shouldered my ancient frame backpack, and just started walking southwest, figuring it would at least get me to Tejas one way or another... Well, that route led me through I guess what would be called a ghetto.. Trash everywhere, mostly beer bottles, people lounging around on the corners, smoke heavy in the air where I cut across a city park, funny looks from the people (okay, so I was out of place with my faded, Sierra style pack, my cowboy style workboots, and wranglers..) Anyway, to save time and typing.... I ended up talking to a passerby, and soon it was known that I was walking to texas, and he wanted to take me to Travelers Aid, or someplace like that, and I ended up being escorted down the streets by two guys and the girlfriend of one of them. The boyfriend was carrying a short piece of stainless steel pipe (looked like part of a bike frame) and constantly inquired about what I had in my large backpack... Truly all I had at the time was some survival equipment, some clothes, some angelfood (Thanks Amy!) and a Woody pin, and some can food, but he seemed to think that hitch hikers from texas must carry many interesting things... So, after giving them most of my Vienna sausages, and half my crackers, we journeyed onward, with me slowly loosening the pack straps to make flight easier.. The two guys argued over the canned wieners... We got to some type of apartment building where I was told some of their friends "knew someone from Travelers Aid" but the security guy promptly asked my escorts to leave.... I got the feeling that they'd had dealings with him before. My escorts told they guy the story about trying to help me home, and they guy said that the rail bum (me, I guess) could use the phone.. So they went to wait for me outside, the security guy gave me a funny look and a few words as he gave me the phone book, and after my pretend call I exited the building from the rear, asked directions down the street and soon was walking, alone, down the highway, but that is a tale for another time.. Anyway, that is my limited history in the NYC area, and of 'ghettos'... I dunno, I just saw people, maybe some where doing better than me, perhaps some worse, but almost everyone I talked to up there seemed nice enough (even while taking me to someplace not of my choosing) Granted, I do think that taking chances can be a fool thing to do, but I'm also kinda thinking that people are a little too caught up in what they see on TV. Sure, bad things happen in NYC, but bad things happen everywhere.. The next town over from me has about 301 people in it, but there was a murder there two months ago.. But, if you go into an area looking for the bad, you'll prolly find it.. I do not know truly if Sheila got lost and ended up there, or went on purpose... I think in either case the key is to be prepared... First to think tactically. You know, avoid dark areas, keep an eye out for people following, all that stuff, or at the very least be prepared by accepting that your actions may get you hurt. Thinking Tactically should keep you out of most of these 'dangerous' situations, Accepting responsibility for yourself will not, but at least you'll have no one else to blame if something does happen. Personally, I am known to do foolish things, but when I do them I know the risk, and accept it as the price of seeing new things... I'm sure my friends all try to read the stories in papers about someone being found in a shallow grave, just to see if it is me ;-) I dunno, I guess what I am trying to say is that guy standing in the alley that looks different than you might be a mugger, but then again he could be someone that will change your life in good ways as well.. To avoid him is logical now, and to not go out of your way to avoid could be as well... If you accept the risk. Anyway, that's about it I guess... Happy birthday Scott.

Not so long ago I wrote ya'll a letter because my friends dad was having cancer surgery and we were both frightened and I was looking for advise on helping her through this. I got emails from a few caring concerned EDAS and Now I wanted to give them an update and say thank you. You guys really helped me out. Everthing went off without a hitch, no cancer was found anywhere else in his body. He was home within 24 hours so i couldnt even go visit him in the hospital (I had planned to go Sunday and he was home Saturday afternoon). I recently moved out -into a dorm @ a local university which has been interesting I love my classes and Stacey and I have decided to move beyond 'just friends' everything is wonderful... Thanks for all your support.

Everyone seemed really friendly when I first joined and I liked reading all the posts. Lately, it seems that whenever I read the posts, I end up angry. Some of the discussions are interesting, but people end up being rude and hurtful towards other people. I thought that we were all Jewel fans, coming together to support her and make friends with each other. A discussion about Britney Spears is fine, but did the person who wrote it have to compare her to Jewel? They are different people and you cannot compare their clothes or songs or voices without insulting someone and making either Britney or Jewel look worse. It turned out to be a pointless discussion with Jewel fans feeling hostile towards other Jewel fans. It may have been exciting to some, but no one's opinion on the subject has changed. Everyone took Sheila's post too far as well. I can see how some people would get angry with her..but did that one little email have to be such a big deal with everyone? It seems like no matter what someone says, it is going to be taken the wrong way. I have come very close to unsubscribing. But I love Jewel and have heard so much about this list, so many good things about it and it's turned into a bunch of very negative emails that just make other people angry. I'm trying to be objective. Everyone should think about what they're writing and how it may be interpreted before they write it. And think of how the mean things you say will affect the person you are writing them to. I love Jewel and if all of you do as much as me, then we should put more effort into how we act towards each other. Imagine that Jewel is reading each post. Would you write everything the same way? Anyway, that is just how I see things. I'm sorry that this had to be my first post. Tanya ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 18:37:26 EST From: Fredsteve@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Last Call Hey I checked out the Last Call website. Jewel's show is airing next Thursday and it's a full half hour with her (the show runs half an hour and she's the only guest!)... so hopefully we'll get a couple of songs plus a decent interview. I think Jewel gets along well with Carson so hopefully it'll be a good interview. later Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 03:14:59 +0100 From: "Mr. Moon" Subject: [EDA] Last call for EDA AOTY Poll It's your last chance to enter the EDA Album Of The Year poll or update your votes, cause it's closing Monday.

I was just channel surfing and stumbled upon the Cleopatra...er, I mean Mariah Carey episode of MTV Cribs....how could I not watch? My god! She calls it her "apartment". (it's in a Manhattan high-rise, so I guess she does have to call it an apartment). This place is HUGE. I actually saw some Exit signs on some walls on some of the floors (I'm dead serious). Her "shoe room" was easily larger than my whole apartment (which is the whole 2nd floor of an older large house), and her "closet"? Well, I've seen high school gymnasiums smaller than her closet. Oh yeah, her couch! This one couch she has couid comfortably sleep the entire Brady Bunch family. I am not kidding. Sheila! Spend all you can on Ciara's singing lessons. Make her a star! If she hits it big like Mariah Carey, you'll both have bathrooms so large you'll need golf carts to get from the tub to the drying-off region.
