[lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List
Not that huge I think you will find. The London borough might be large but the area that would attract this kind of attack is probably only 5 or 6 miles across. And the concentration of people in such a relatively small area is considerable. I wonder if you were this casual when 9/11 happened. I appreciate it hasn't killed or injured as many but that doesn't make it any less devastating for those involved. Thankfully, everyone I know is safe but one friend feels exceptionally lucky as he left Liverpool Street tube where one of the bombs went off minutes before it happened. This country has seen this type of attack many times over the years from the IRA and others they will not beat us no matter how hard they try.

I sincerely hope all your news fron London will be good. Jeri -- Spiders, I am single and have no living relatives, so I made a list of all contacts that might be useful to my executor and designated power-of-attorney in emergency. He has a copy, a copy is kept near my home phone, another with Will and other legal papers, and I carry a copy with me in my wallet. It fits on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper that can be folded small. A copy goes with my passport, when I'm away from home. I keep this permanently on my word processor, and update it as needed. And, since this may be a useful idea for others on Arachne. Here is what I put on it: Title: Contacts for Jeri AmesDate Executor/Power-of-Attorney Name, address, e-mailPhone Contingent Executor" " " Lawyer with Will, etc.Etc. down the list Physician Best Friend in Maine Best Friend in (other location) Lace Friend in(for lace collection decisions & help) Person with Keys & Alarm Code Alarm Company Police Accountant Bank Insurance Agent Carpenter (for repairs) Electrician Plumber Driveway Repairs Snow Plowing Mowing/Landscaping Heating Oil & Furnace Maint. Passport # In other words, if incapacitated, all contact information needed to take care of everything in my absence. I won't say you "must" do this, but I do think that even if you have a spouse or children it might be nice to have such a list in an emergency when people who care about you may not be thinking clearly. It acts as a check-list, and is organized differently than your alphabetical address book.

Re: [lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List
Can anybody tell me where Dora Smith lives? Her remarks are very strange and to me offensive. I am very sorry for all the victims of the bombing, having experienced something like it many years ago.

Re: [lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List
Dora Smith lives in Austin, Texas. I have to say that I also found her remarks rather flippant. London may be big, but the Underground is the way people and visitors get around there. As has been said by others, you only had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could have been any of us had we been there on vacation or business Avital, I'm glad your sister is OK. To all other Arachneans in the UK, my thoughts are with you all. may they get the creeps who did this. Elizabeth in Cape Town where the sun is shining today.

Re: [lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List
Thanks to all who have put online sympathy messages about the London bombing, my niece works in the city and travels to work on the underground every day to Liverpool St. station we had a worrying time whilst trying to contact her because all the mobile lines went down because so may people were trying to get in contact with friends and relatives. Luckily she went in early yesterday and was safe and well, maybe Dora Smith would not be so flippant if she had relatives working in the city. Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK with many thanks to our wonderful services who were so quick in responding to the call. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Schuette.Fifty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; ; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Dora Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 1:12 PM Subject: Re: [lace] London Bombings & Personal Emergency List > Dora Smith lives in Austin, Texas. > I have to say that I also found her remarks rather flippant.
