It's getting warm enough that by LA at least, it may be worth camping instead of hotelling. SF can get chilly even in summer, so it's not as likely to be worth it. San Diego, well, you could be like Jewel and stay in the van. ;) > There are a couple of hostels in San Francisco -- I think Market Street > downtown, and FOlsom Street. Check with hostelling international and ISIC: Maybe I've just gotten picky in my old age, but when I met up with some visiting friends at the hostel in SF (think it might have been the Folsom one, definitely wasn't on Market) I was decidedly unimpressed. It seemed to be dominated by locals and not travellers, very run down looking.

I couldn't remember, thanks! I can't believe people are thinking that I was serious about the Cymbie on crack thing! It was a joke referring to how moody and angry people get when they're addicted to crack. Nothing more, nothing less. And to whoever said drugs aren't something to joke about, I think that some drugs, being so stupid to do, become great things to joke about.

Same with Wyoming, Nebraska & Colorado and also with Arkansas, Mississippi & Louisiana and again with Maine, Mass & NH. And those are just the "tri-state" areas I've heard of. I am sure there are more. While I am almost certain you mean the NY/NJ/CT Tri-state area, suppose you didn't? Suppose you were in that corner of Louisiana (lotsa La-area EDAs)and didn't really give much thought nor heard of the NY/NJ/CT Tri-state area? This ain't nearly as opaque as the time on the Patty Griffin list that someone posted about their own nightclub gig at "Trudy's" and mentioned date & time. I wrote her back asking her what COUNTRY her gig was in. (not that YOU should point out what country your "tri-state" area was in, I just went a little further than asking her what city "Trudy's" was in...and street for that matter).

To quote the great philosopher Bill Cosby: "Everyone have a coke and a smile." Spirited arguments are healthy. A diversity of opinions is healthy. A diversity of topics is healthy. If this list DIDN'T piss off a few of us from time to time, it would be "milktoast" BORING. After being on this list for six years, my advice is: 1) Don't take posts personally. 2) Don't get vicious with your replies. 3) Don't panic and run for cover. This activity should be enjoyable, even if you have to ignore some comments to continuing enjoying yourself in the "Jewel List Funhouse". Five years I offered the "Harris Sit On It" Rule: Write your post, then save it as a draft. Come back to it HOURS later and re-read it. If it was written when you were angry or upset, odds are you'll tone it down (or even delete it). Good advice then, good advice now. And above all, have fun.

I'm not laughing at them, I'm laughing at crack and the sheer insanity of it all. Sometimes laughing is all that you can do. There are many states of mind, and not being able to understand one's state of mind does not mean that person is "fried". I'm not in the clear of mental issues myself from past LSD use, I don't consider myself fried, just a little paranoid at times with a side of manic depression. I wouldn't take back those LSD experiences for a piece of mind today for any price, as the lessons learned cannot be given a value... priceless... I don't mean to trivialize your emotions... I simply see things a differently and I'm sorry you have to deal with the issues of these loved ones of which you speak, I truly am, but I still think that crack is funny, I don't know why, but I do. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 May 2001 15:14:54 -0500 From: "Kristie Biggs" Subject: Re: [EDA] NJC: Discussions I am sorry that you've had so much exposure to drug abuse and it's effects. That is a horrible thing to have to go through. But the plain and simple fact is that sometimes people NEED to laugh and joke about things like that. Do you remember the movie "Steel Magnolias"? At the funeral Shelby's mother is having a nervous breakdown and then Olympia Dukakis makes the crack about hitting Weezer and they all laugh.....even Shelby's mother who only seconds before had been in tears. Then Dolly Parton says "Laughter through tears is one of favorite emotions". You have to be able to laugh about things and just because someone makes a joke about something doesn't mean that they don't take whatever it is seriously. Be it a disease, alcoholism, drug abuse etc. My aunt is an alcoholic in every sense of the word as well as having bi-polar disorder. She makes jokes about herself! I have Rheumatoid arthritis and some days it's very hard for me to get out of bed much less to do "normal" tasks like washing my hair and typing (which I have to do quite a bit of), and I am able to make jokes about myself even though I know it is a very real possibility that I may not be able to function or work at all in a few years. I've had friends with drug habits, mostly cocaine which from what I understand is very difficult to get off of, that still laugh about it. Look at things with a positive outlook. (redundant?) Anyway.....I'm sure that Brown was simply making a statement that was more or less equivalent to saying that you sound like you are a little too hyped up over a small matter or as someone else so eloquently put it....you sounded like you were PMSing. Everyone has problems and one of the best way to work through problems is to be able to laugh about them. Otherwise you begin to take life much too seriously and no longer get joy out of anything. OK.....I know enough babbling. That's definitely the longest thing I've ever posted, but hey sometimes you just have to display your feelings right?

If you've missed prior messages, this year for Jewel's birthday we're donating money to the Clearwater Project, the current major project of Jewel's charity organization, Higher Ground for Humanity, in honor of Jewel's deceased best friend, Jacque.. Jewel's birthday is coming up on May 23, and wouldn't it be a nice gesture to drum up our money to show Jewel how much we care? Anyway, here's the message I sent a few weeks ago.. For all of you asking how to donate to Clearwater, and whether we're donating individually or as a group, here's the deal.. We're donating as a group in that when the Clearwater staff gets the donations in the mail or online, they'll put them in a group to let Jewel know how much we as a group donated to her foundation in the memory of her deceased best friend, Jacque, for her birthday.. But technically we're sending in the money individually.. There's two ways to donate for this specific "birthday project," I guess you could call it... Note how you are supposed to mark "EDA" in some form on your donations no matter how you send it in.. This is how the Clearwater staff knows it's for Jewel's birthday amount.. #1 (donating online) Go to the HGH/Clearwater website form at: http://www.clearwaterproject.org/dodonations.html Please type "EDA" in the FAX field. #2 (donating by mail) Make checks or money orders payable to: Higher Ground for Humanity (or HGH) Write "Clearwater EDA" in the memo line.
