For Andy - we ain’t done yet - Pass the word & remember ...
Edited on Fri May-06-05 01:07 PM by merh
For Andy & for DU

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

Now we have raised most of the money and thanks to all that have donated. Thanks for all of your prayers and good wishes and positive energies and love. :grouphug:

BUT, we haven’t raised all that is needed. The total so far is just over $32,000. We need to raise at least $50,000.00. Andy’s surgery is Tuesday, May 10. This weekend, even though he is sick, he is participating in a conference in Ohio on of all things, election reform. He is tirelessly working for our democracy, he is still trying to make a difference. Let’s help him, please let’s raise all the money he needs.


Please blast this out to your networks!

WAYS TO DONATE:

You can do this on your computer via PayPal: http://www.paypal.com
After logging in at paypal, choose "Send Money" and enter Andy's email address as the recipient:
Andy_Stephenson@comcast.net
(note there is an underscore like this: Andy_Stephenson)

Or you can use the Honor System at Amazon.com:
http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-pay-page/P2TRHRVBGX9KOX/102-6873839-9047353.
or
http://tinyurl.com/bnu79

If you prefer to donate via non-electronic check or money order,
please mail to:
Andy Stephenson
P O Box 25624
Seattle, WA 98165-1124


!!!IMPORTANT!!!
If you are sending something, please pmail sfexpat2000 or email Beth at info@dougzilla.com with the amount of the donations. She is the official bean counter and the donations have to be properly tracked and totaled to keep Johns Hopkins happy.



Please folks, I believe in this community, we have made such a difference. We have united to help one of our own and I thank you all. Let’s meet the goal, let’s take the stress off of Andy’s shoulders and let him go in to surgery ready to fight the tumor, not worrying about fighting the accounts payable department.

Thank you all! :grouphug: :toast:
:loveya: I DU Believe in DU & in Andy :loveya: :patriot:


(don't forget, the auction for Andy - (One weeks stay at the Florida Bay Club in Florida Keys, Key Largo...2,000 ft. townhouse, sleeps six, full kitchen, washer and dryer, pool, tennis court, miniature golf course, marina) -- bidding ends tonight at 12:00 midnight.

4. Where can you send this OP?
TGIF!

DUers, you've all been amazing! Now, please, who can you send this out to? Do you go to meet-ups? Do you get newsletters from a 527? I sent out to TrueMajority yesterday, and they responded to me!

It doesn't have to be in your own backpocket -- time to reach out. If we do, we'll get this done.

(Hell, I'm about to go put Doug on Ebay. Nobody tell him: www.dougzilla.com)

Let's move! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

21. Not late at all! Thanks & please pm me with an amount.
One $15 donation put us over for the deposit on Monday! We do what we can :)

If you have a church group or a support group or any kind of email list -- send out the OP. I sent it out to Doug's email list.

People are amazing if you ask for something specific, something manageable. :hi:

Okay, I'm going over to Ebay and will be back with a link. Never done this before, so I hope it doesn't take a long time!

25. I'll be blasting out emails this weekend to election reform groups
Yes, once again they will hear from the pesky Arnheim! I'm sure that they are sick of me by now but, by golly, I'm going to email them again.

Since we are at $32,000, we need to really push. I'd love to raise $60K or $75K. Dare we dream? Can we do that??

I think that we can!

I believe!

Save Andy - And Save America, Too!
by Thom Hartmann
www.OpEdNews.com

Just as we occasionally see community fundraising efforts surface with donation collection cans in convenience stores for local folks experiencing medical emergencies, today the progressive community is working to save one of its own.

Andy Stephenson is an activist, a vigilant worker on behalf of clean voting in America. He has worked tirelessly to help uncover details of electronic voting fraud in the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections. He's devoted years of his life to making America a more democratic nation
snip-----http://www.opednews.com/hartmann_050105_save_andy.htm
check Thom's site out http://www.thomhartmann.com/

We have to push and fight for Universal Health Care !!
So, that means we really have to kick people like Tom DeLay to the curb. hiley
Tell Speaker Hastert to Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate Tom DeLay

Two members of the House Ethics Committee were forced by citizen pressure to recuse themselves because they donated to Tom DeLay's legal defense fund. But three other representatives on the panel have received campaign contributions from DeLay's PAC. In fact, DeLay's PAC has given to 225 of the 232 Republican members.

In America, you're not allowed to buy the jury. Not even if you're Tom DeLay.

63. Just wondering…
Do you think that Doug could bring in more eBay bids if his auction were available to businesses that are looking for entertainers? Does the classification for “Special Events or Fundraisers” rule those people out? Couldn’t they get a business expense tax-deduction if they won? Might draw people with deeper pockets (???)

-----------

Kicking with best wishes and prayers for Andy!

You also may want to limit the area that the auction is being offered to, eg: just in the SF Bay Area, or within a certain number of miles, etc.. I know that eBay lets sellers revise their auction descriptions.

...maybe less 'splaining to do? ;)

91. Just blasted it out to about 100 people...
For anyone who cares to use it, here's what I sent:

Hey folks,

I'm here again, one more time, to ask for your help and to tell you about our friend and election reform hero, Andy Stephenson. Through an amazing feat of compassion, Andy's friends at democraticunderground.com and people near and far stepped up last weekend and donated to the tune of $25,000. Just enough to get Andy in to Johns Hopkins and in line for his surgery.

The next phase is the surgery itelf, which is scheduled for this Tuesday, May 10. The deadline for the second $25,000 payment is Monday, May 9, at noon. (Total funds raised so far is just over $32,000 and we need to raise at least $50,000.00.) This weekend, even though Andy is very sick, he is participating in a conference in Ohio on, of all things, election reform. He is tirelessly working for our democracy, even in the midst of fighting for his own life.

Please give if you can. No amount is too small. If you can't give, please pray for Andy and pass this e-mail to every person you know who you think might be able to help in any way.

Thank you again.

p.s. You can follow our progress throughout the weekend at this thread on Democratic Underground:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3608367#top

**********************************************

WAYS TO DONATE:

95. Ripple Effect
ripple effect: NOUN: A gradually spreading effect or influence:

image
of water, a brightness
not gold, not silver,
rippling
as if with laughter.
~ Denise Levertov ~



The pure serene of memory in one man,—
A ripple widening from a single stone
Winding around the waters of the world.
~Theodore Roethke ~

As we reach out to help one man, as we unite to help Andy, our single efforts have a ripple effect that we never expected, creating ripples that we can never count. The grassroots effort is strengthened, the DU community united and our love is multiplied a hundred times over. Our faith in humanity is restored, our belief in ourselves and each other is renewed, as we reach out to help someone we love. With laughter and determination, with humor and wit, we reach out to help a friend and we will attain our goal. For with faith and love (and laughter), all things are possible.

:hug: :loveya: :loveya: I DU Believe in DU & in Andy! :loveya: :loveya: :hug:

After two weeks of conversation, TODAY they decided they need the whole amount up front.

No comment from me.

Just kick it. Blast it out to your outlets. Let's keep busy.

We need $18000. Or, a pitchfork or two.

106. We just keep doing what we're doing.
Blasting it and kicking it and looking under the sofa cushions for Andy.

It will work out. We will get this done. And we will learn what we can do when we're all on the same page.

Kick, hiley!

Edited on Fri May-06-05 09:07 PM by NVMojo
if a patient had no insurance, paid half on the day of surgery, they signed an agreement to get the rest in payments. These mother fuckers must be worried he will survive and file bankruptcy!! How many months are left before that law kicks in???

They even have the ability to write off the rest of this ...bastards!!! They are playing off our sympathy so they can get COLD HARD CASH!!!!

We need to threaten to go to the media with this story!!!

371. no dear..
we have broken all protocol to get andy in with this dr and in this possible test program going on,,,under no circumstances would he have qualified without insurance..we broke the protocol and the proceedures through a back door..please get mad at our government not the hospital..and not the care andy will get this dr has a 5x success rate above any other in the world..
thisis a very expensive surgery and a very expensive after treatment if andy qualifies and we wont know that until during or after surgery..so please put you anger where it should be..with your government and those who are unwilling to see to it that every american has coverage!

we went through every back door to get andy in under no circiumstances would he have gotten in if they knew he didnt have insurance..and through ommission on my part of not telling the man who got andy in that andy didnt have insurance ..if that fact had been known the answer would have been no..so through omission i lied...and now my husbands boss is very angry as his reputation is now on the line..and he may never trust me again to get anyone else into JH....now the man is angry , as no one gets into this program period without insurance ..period!!

and i have another friend who left fla yesterday to go to JH with a double cancerous brain tumor..terminal...so please do not blame the hospital..its our government that you need to direct your anger at..no american should have to face this..
but andy will have the best care known to man..and dr's and nurses have to be paid..and medication that is very expensive has to be given..and this is a very tough surgery..

lets put our energy into getting andy the surgery and afterwards..then lets allgo fight our congress people and seantors..and fight like hell..but this hospital is not at fault..

andy was original scheduled for june 2nd..when the dr saw his records he moved it up..so it left little time to do anything but get the money together for him,..
i knew it was going to be a problem..but he has the best surgeon in the world..who has the best success ratio..of helping andy be cancer free..please lets count those blessings...and fight to get equality for all after this...
there is a posibility andy may get into the test program that is showing remarkable success.it all depends on what the dr finds when they go in...
so please lets all take BREATH AND PRAY FOR POSITIVE RESULTS OF THE SURGERY .. and lets pray that soon andy is cancer free!

and remember we went over and above protocol and proceedures of JH just to get andy in...and that was before they knew he didnt have insurance...the no insurance is just another hurdle but getting him into this dr was the biggest hurdle!!

he has a chance to get the best care available in the world with this doctor...lets count those blessings!!

413. Count me in for another $50..............
I can't believe, well maybe I can, that they want the entire amount up front. I have been fighting with my workmans comp insurance to have an MRI done since March. I've had to call them twice last week and the person in charge tells me ah aw right I'll send approval and then dosen't. I call her the next day and its all right already. That was just to continue physical therapy. Yup unfreakin believeable, but thats the system we got without universal health care. The sad thing is my state employees insurance would have paid w/o questioning it.

Well enough of my woes....you gals rock!!!!! Keep going the goal is in sight.

128. In every life a little rain must fall....
This is happy summer rain at my sisters place.

The barn, with the painting on the gate


Roses climbing on the southwest wall


A leaf ready to burst it's tears


Honey flower as prelude to sun


Tears and...and...oh, shoot this poetry stuff! I haven't got a clue. Pretty pictures, though ;-)


I'm loaded, and are going to bed.
As you can see, I'm getting sentimental, and Advisory for Day After Survival clearly states:

2.a. Cut the crap. Sleep.

Good going, folks! I'll donate tomorrow when I can type my email address again.

A Society That Throws the Sick Away

By Barbara Ehrenreich

April 28, 2005

Most countries are proud to have a healthcare system. It's an organized way of helping the sick and infirm — a mark of genuine civilization. Not so here, alas, where the health system is rapidly becoming a health hazard. After decades of privatizing, profiteering and insurance company-driven bureaucratization, Florence Nightingale has morphed into Vampira.

Healthcare costs are sucking the blood out of the economy, for one thing. Consider poor General Motors, once the nation's flagship corporation and now sinking under the weight of its employee health benefits — which account for $1,500 of the sticker price of each new vehicle. As GM contemplates bankruptcy, other companies thrash around frantically trying to shed their insurance-needy American employees. They downsize and outsource — anything to escape the burden of health costs. The result? Our "jobless recovery": Companies don't want to assume responsibility for their workers' medical bills and — this being the global temple of free enterprise — neither does the government.

Then there are the U.S. health system's toxic effects on individuals, and I'm not referring to Vioxx or the approximately 200,000 people who die each year as a result of "medical mistakes," but to its financial effects. Harvard's Elizabeth Warren recently co-wrote a study showing that more than half of all personal bankruptcies are triggered by medical costs, and it's easy enough to see how. If you lose your job — through, say, downsizing or outsourcing — you lose your health insurance, and the uninsured are routinely charged up to three times more than those who have an insurance company to negotiate their hospital bills. As for emergency rooms, which the hardhearted or incurious imagine absorbing all the poor and uninsured — well, the average visit to an ER now costs a little over $1,000, which is a high price to pay for an asthma attack or an infant's fever.

Certainly the health system makes plenty of people rich — Big Pharma's overlords, for example, and CEOs like HealthSouth's Richard Scrushy (who received about $267 million in compensation from his company between 1996 and 2002) — but it makes a lot more people poor: indirectly, by inhibiting job growth, and directly, by grinding individuals down to bankruptcy (which, thanks to the new federal bankruptcy law, offers no fresh start to the debt-ridden). Add to this the well-known fact that poverty is a risk factor for dozens of diseases — from asthma to AIDS, from depression to diabetes — and, well, I rest my case.

179. and this one is for you tinfoil !!!!
Through The Rain


When you get caught in the rain,with nowhere to run.( come on folks this is where andy is right now!!)
When you're distraught and in pain,without anyone.( and yes andy is in pain so won't you help us here??)
And you feel so far away.
That you just can't find your way home.( lets get andy the help he so desparately needs!!)
You get there alone.
It's okay.
What you say is.

I can make it through the rain.( we will help andy make it through his rain!!!)
I can stand up once again,on my own,and I know,that I'm strong enough to mend. ( please won't you help andy mend??)

And everytime I feel afraid,I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day and I make it throught the rain.( please i beg of you,...help andy through his rain!!)

And if you keep falling down.
Don't you dare give in.( tell andy you have his back!!)
You will arise,safe and sound.
So keep pressing on,steplessly
And you'll find what you need.
To prevail. ( andy must prevail..won't you help??)
What you say is.

I can make it through the rain.( yeah baby you can our andy!!)
I can stand up once again,on my own,and I know,that I'm strong enough to mend. ( yes you are darlin andy!!)
And everytime I feel afraid,hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain.

And when the wind blows.
As shadows grow close.
Don't be afraid.( no andy you won't have to be afraid ..we are all here holding out our hands to help you and get you well!!)
There's nothing you can't face.
And sure they tell you.
You'll never pull through.( dang it..they said we couldn't do this..come on people we are almost there..let us not fail now!!)
Don't hesitate.
Stand up and say.

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again,on my own,and I konw,that I'm strong enough to mend.
And everytime I feel afraid,I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day and I make through the rain.

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again,on my own,and I konw,that I'm strong enough to mend.
And everytime I feel afraid,I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day and I make through the rain.
Oh yes you can,you're gonna make it through the rain.

( lets get andy this surgery...and lets send a loud message..that our andy will make it through the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

diva singing loud and prayin' for our guy..and i hope you will too..and help us on this final lap!!!

you are all the diva's ..angels.........
O8)

but more important ..you are andy's angels!!

O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8) O8)

180. okay, THAT'S IT! I have DIVA ENVY!
merh, here's a song for you :loveya:


Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
:party:


"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

:cry:

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

:nopity:

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

:cry:


Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

(one more time, :party: )

I-I-I need you-oo-oo more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

CRY BABY


Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.

I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.

Don’t you know, honey,
Ain’t nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do ?
Who’ll take all your pain,
Honey, your heartache, too ?
And if you need me, you know
That I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.

And when you walk around the world, babe,
You said you’d try to look for the end of the road,
You might find out later that the road’ll end in detroit,
Honey, the road’ll even end in kathmandu.
You can go all around the world
Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
When you only gotta do one thing well,
You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
You got a woman waiting for you there,
All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman
And that’ll be the end of the road, babe,
I know you got more tears to share, babe,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Cry baby yeah.

woooo do it for me janis!!!..diva

198. While we wait for Miss Fly to update her MAKEUP, ahem, here's
another one for our hostes, merh

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.

(And we're supposed to feel bad about his RAZOR?! :freak:)

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen. :O8):

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

(I have an exact amount if anyone cares :silly:)

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

:bounce::woohoo::party::bounce::woohoo:

Nights In White Satin


Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you

Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

(musical part)

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

(Spoken)
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsetter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy's spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.

divaaaaa!!!

I just can't help but laugh because we've done so much with so little, what's another 10 grand? :silly:

This isn't a fix for our health care system but betcha my dear granny, we're all thinking about it more now, that it's come home.

And once we have Andy tucked in, then we can turn this laser to UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, to joining civilized nations.

Unless someone has a bettah solution :)

228. Hey, I have a donation to give, but no one will sing my song.
We will get it done. Breath, breath, deep breaths, through the nose, out through your slightly parted lips, eyes closed. Relax, deep breaths.

Read this thread again:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3611997
and post 95 and just calm down.

Now where is my song and don't make fun of my typing. :spank:

and to focus our efforts here.

It's Friday. Our deadline is Monday. And for the peace of the whole board, I'd really appreciate it if people would come here to participate.

Know what I mean

I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand

Duer's lullaby

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

Life can never be
Exactly like we want it to be
It makes me happy
Just knowing that you love me
There's one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

( Now, one more kick for Andy

:kick: )

rock-n-roll-lullaby

Well she was just sixteen an hour ago
When I first came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
Well the times were bad and she'd get scared
Whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock & roll lullaby

And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la
It's gonna be alright
She'd be singing like that
Sha la la la la la
You'd better hold on tight
Sing it to me mama
It's gonna be alright
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh mama let me hear that
Rock and roll lullaby

For Andy - dedicated to the one we love! :hug:

:loveya: :hug: I DU Believe! :hug: :loveya:

381. Thanks. Posting on the individual states' forums
first, put them on the "latest" thread - for those who go there first and, second, shake the DUers who go to their states first.

I put the link to this thread but also copied and pasted the first post, with the infor on how to donate, since I think that this thread is getting out of reach for dial-up DUers.

240. you donated lady hawk and have cabin fever so i have a song for u!!
i will take you out of that cabin if you close your yeyes and sing with me ladyhawk....

a duet ..you and me...clear that throat now..and get ready...

and a one and a two and a sing....

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...SING IT SWEET LADY HAWK!!

All my bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’
It’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’
He’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
¡®cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Ev’ry place I go, I’ll think of you
Ev’ry song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
¡®cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times, I won’t have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
¡®cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go


DO YOU FELL YOURSELF FLYONG LADY HAWK...YOU ARE SOARING..YOU ARE FLYIONG 34,000 FEET..ABOVE THE CLOUDS...AND YOUR CABIN FEVER IS GOING AWAY!!!

257. Thanks for the song. Music is one of my gods.
There was a small chance the surgery could have damaged my vocal cords, but I did it anyway. I think my voice is going to be just fine. I don't dare run it through a warm-up just yet, but I think it's there. :)

Perhaps I'll record a Brahms piece for all of you when I recover...how does that sound? :)

Until then, here's an older recording. I've improved since then, I think: On My Own from Les Miserables by Ladyhawk, accompanied by crummy MIDI. :) Definitely not a professional recording. Just me.

I should dedicate this linkage to Andy Stephenson, merh, flyarm, sfexpat2000 and everyone else who actually gives a shit about what happens to other people.

325. 'Tis my dream, dear flyarm, to someday perform in a musical.
If my health would behave, I could do it. I know I could.

And my dear diva, what is wrong with a beautiful duet? :) There are very few true altos, but I qualify. I just need to work a bit on the spot in my voice where my break used to be for more chest voice on certain notes.

I imagine you are a soprano? :)

I crave singing with all my heart. Strangely, I think the incision over my larynx is causing a few problems. Still, it hasn't been even two weeks since surgery, so hey. :) The voice is there. My neck just needs to heal. I should get a webcam shot of my incision. :D It IS over the larynx, but obviously the larynx was moved out of the way before it was cut. I've never seen an incision in quite this location before...whatever. :)

Ah, do you love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance (dance)

Watch me now (hey)

I can mashed potato (I can mashed potato)
I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Well, tell me, baby (tell me, baby)
Do you like it like this (do you like it like this)

Tell me (tell me) tell me

Do you love me (do you love me)
Now do you love me (do you love me)
Now do you love me (do you love me)

327. Suggestion: Perhaps it is time for a new thread.
This one is getting huge.

Also, it may have escaped some people's attention that Johns Hopkins now wants all the money. The title of the new thread should reflect that...as well as the deadline.

I think this is really important.

348. the diva is packing for her world opera in paris!!
and working the vocals while packing!!

how does this sound??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


La Vie En Rose


Hold me close and hold me fast.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.

When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.

When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.

And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.

Mmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.

And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.


i will be singing in de l'OPERA" de PARIS...lovely venue..the accustics are incred -e- ble'..and the palace of Opera decor is red velvet everywere..and exquisite! it was built for Marie Antionette ..and is only fitting i should sing there!!

349. This is for Flyarm
So, ya think yer so smart makin' comments about me dancin' like Isadora Duncan, huh?

As a matter of fact, I took dancing from one of Isadora's life-long students. It was held in the woman's 'home' in Berkeley. It was designed by the famous architect, Bernard Maybeck, and called "The Temple of the Winds". A sorta cross between a Mediterranean villa and a Grecian Temple!

I danced there with my first love! Last I saw him was about 30 years later & still pretty cute.

Here is Isadora.

441. Savannahana.... well, ya asked, so:
Ah, remembrances of 1962....

First love. We were 11. We took 'social dancing' at the strange and wonderful Temple of the Winds, home of and hosted by Isadora's life-long student, old Mrs. Quitso. We dressed up real pretty and did the Charleston and the Foxtrot. He and I actually looked forward to Wednesday nites, when we'd gaze into one anothers' eyes while we had cookies and tea between dances.

Then things got serious. We had a date! We went to the UCBerkeley campus to a Pete Seger concert. His dad completely blew it for poor Paul, when they picked me up and he told me that Paul had spent the entire day washing the car.

Heartbreak: He moved away!

We have mutual friends and we met at a party a number of years ago. Still a real nice guy, and still pretty cute, in his old age.

363. Great news. Thanks for the update. Andy just keeps on giving ...
... for the sake of our Democracy.

Faced with a major disease and a totally failed health care system in America, Andy spends the day on the front-line doing all he can to make sure we don't experience yet another stolen election in America.

What a special person Mr Andy Stephenson is.

Peace.

I picked a foundation related to healthcare and sent them a 'request'with a link to this thread. Couldn't hurt...

395. Does the hospital know that there is a national fundraising ..
effort going on?

Wouldn't they be a bit embarassed at cancelling surgery when a national fundraising effort is going on?

It could be really bad publicity.

Maybe they should be aware that there is potential for bad publicity.

397. I will.
Edited on Sun May-08-05 12:22 AM by Maat
I just e-mailed the local DFA steering comm members who appreciate Andy's work quite a bit.

It just occurred to me that, whether or not anyone wanted it to be that way, it would happen because so many are involved. In other words, if this surgery doesn't happen, bad publicity is virtually guaranteed.

But we will stay positive!

I didn't mean to worry anyone, but perhaps that would change their minds. I've run businesses before. If I were the Administrator, I would want to know that. It would give the whole thing credibility.

On edit:
As to the 'credibility' thing, what I was trying to say was that if I was a hospital administrator, and I thought this was just about some poor smoe with no insurance, I might well want my money up front. But if I knew that there was a national fundraising effort, that a national radio host was talking about the effort (Thom), and that bad pubicity would ensure regardless of whether or not any one person wanted that due to the enormous number of people involved, I would be much more likely to just go ahead with the procedures and work something out. You have motivated a HUGE progressive community. I would want to know that if I were among the powers that be at JH.

I'm going to be gone tom. morning for a bit, but I will be back.

Hang in there!

Peace and Blessings,

Maat

496. I sent $23 more--You can, too
Check the pockets of your clothes and the cushions of the sofa for change. Every little bit helps.

Beth is selling her husband on eBay. Buy him. Or, surely you have a loved one you could auction (the use of the "Buy Now" feature would be appropraite.)

Reach out to any groups to which you belong: Yahoogroups, Googlegroups

And, Amazon is very easy to use or send a check or money order.

<Here are some swans, with ...eh .. kittens? No, what do you call baby swans?>

They're cygnets!!!! The only reason I know this is because I was a huge E.B. White fan as a kid, and read his book "Trumpet of the Swan" a gazillion times.

But I like "Swittens" better!!!!!!!! ;-)

574. kick for Andy
I don't know Andy. I'll say that first. But my mama is in a similar situation. I am sure there is not one of you isn't touched by someone w/ cancer. So I ask, what if they didn't have health insurance?

After days of ignoring this, as I'm sure some of you with low income like myself have (and I'm not berating that because I've done it and totally understand it if you can't afford it)...I finally decided not to be a pay-it-backwards folk and so I gave what I can afford, though VERY little. Sure - it's not going to fix the world or heal my mama but it makes you feel like you've done something good...towards those good though sometimes seemingly unreachable goals you have. I don't know this person but I can imagine if they were 'mine.'

If you can give but a few bucks like me, it doesn't matter how little, just send it via check if you're not schooled or trustworthy in paypal. I love checks and hate paypal. Both will work.

Love - K

:party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party:

YOU did it! Never a doubt! Miss fly is on a European Tour or she would surely sing this --

You've got a smile so bright, you know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight, you know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet, you know you could have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet, you know you could have been some perfume


Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell, the way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are, you know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute, you know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart, you know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart, you know you could have been a schoolbook

You made my heart so rich, you know you could have been some money
And baby you're so sweet, you know you could have been some honey

You really swept me off my feet, you made my life complete
You made my life so bright, you make me feel alright

(I'm just so grateful that I got to see the way you do the things you do. the bean counter)

670. Thank you for all your hard work, sfexpat2000!
I was drawn to DU because there are true activists here who are sincere about what they're doing.
But the humanity and caring I've witnessed over the last week or so has been unbelievably awe-inspiring!
*THIS* is the "Culture of Life," indeed!

680. When I went to bed last night, we were still short $200
Edited on Mon May-09-05 09:30 AM by ailsagirl
Now I'm getting ready for work and just had to check in and, to my joy, I see that DU came through 100%... 1000%!!

Now I'm getting teary-eyed and I'm trying to put on my makeup... not an easy task!!!

We must savor our victories, each and every one of them, no matter how small. This, thankfully, is a HUGE victory for all of us.

There are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
-Kibran
