MPH/One

[The Fiddler]

Has Bono lost interest in this, I notice in recent pictures he doesn't appear to be wearing his white wristband.

 

[Jamila]

Fiddler, which pics are you speaking about?

Oh my he doesn't wear his bracelet everyday.

I rarely wear mine. My cats take off with it and I forget about it for a week or so. Damn me to hell

I try to wear it when it counts though. For example, I wore it to jury duty and the other jurors asked what it meant, so I had the opportunity to explain One/MPH to them. I also wore it to a fancy named-scholarship dinner and the people at my table asked and also got to hear my spiel.

 

[tuwie]

yay! =) spreadnig the word

My cat's hair sticks to mine

btw, the bracelet was back on the other night in Montreal. Maybe he left it by the shower in NY? Maybe he has a cat in his NY apartment that also likes to take off with it .

If it weighs less than a pound and is not secured down, my cats will take it. They also rip all my jewelry out of the container and spread it around to get my attention. Or Beckham knocks everything off my ledge or my desk. Last night he was hungry and I was ignoring him, so he went on my desk (which he knows is not allowed) and I heard this sliding sound....he was pushing my incense tray (which is full of ashes right now) off the side! jerk

I guess my other excuse is this - I go to a smaller, Christian, liberal arts college so everyone else here already has them and is into the whole social justice thing, so it's not a conversation starter like it is in public or non-school/work events.

I was just about to say that I noticed it and then I remember I meant to get one....and forgot again

Ah but it was a different one

 

[zooperson]

i have four on now. i took them off at thanksgiving because i was chopping carrots to make stuffed mushrooms and it turned orange. i had to leave them to soak in ajax and water.
so a warning to all concerned: take off your one/mph bracelets when chopping carrots!

maybe bono was chopping carrots.

 

[The Fiddler]

Was that a rubber one or a cloth one?

 

[tootty86]

Isnt he wearing it in the Original of the species video??

 

[Jamila]

yes Bono is, tootty86.

I really don't think that anyone has to worry about Bono's dedication to the ONE Campaign - especially when he talks about it at every concert and there are ONE booths at every concert.

What we should be worried about is the 7000 people who die EVERY DAY unnecessarily from AIDS due to their extreme poverty.

 

[Jamila]

7000 people dying every day in Africa from AIDS due to their extreme poverty.

 

[The Fiddler]

7000 people dying every day in Africa from AIDS due to their extreme poverty.

 

[Jamila]

I feel the same way, The Fiddler.

That's about three and one half MILLION people every year.

 

[The Fiddler]

That's about three and one half MILLION people every year.

 

[Jamila]

thank you, The Fiddler.

And that number is just the people in Africa who die of AIDS.

When you add the millions more who die yearly from hunger, malaria, TB, dirty water, etc., the numbers of people dying in Africa from TOTALLY PREVENTABLE CAUSES must top at least FIVE MILLION a year!

See why Bono is so p*ssed?

So am I. Glad to know you are too, The Fiddler.

 

[The Fiddler]

And I'm still 2 years later

Didn't you just say that one minute ago in your previous post?? Your point is taken.

Are you in Idaho? There's a school that fits this description and there are some rabid U2 fans there!

More like: two years ago.

Why oh why are people bumping an ancient thread?
