I read somewhere that some of the believers think that there is a Bible code that shows Obama is the last president for the U.S. Also when we read in the Bible that the end times are similar to the times when Noah was alive, we...

hoseasmate Yes, I know that scripture that you are referring to. It is certainly interesting to say that is probably what is happening now. I think of the earthquakes that are increasing in frequency and intensity and see those as labor pains that the world is...

I have some awful respiratory infection that comes with a hacking cough, running nose, and extreme fatigue. Some co-workers have been calling in sick and I find out they have had this illness. Other co-workers are coming to work...

hoseasmate And that is my point. There are a lot of people who have health insurance and they can afford to go to the doctor and can even afford to stay home and miss some days of work. I do not have health insurance and I had to pay over $100 for a visit to the clinic....

hoseasmate You know I am much better. I have been off work for the past two days becoming healthier! I think that finally I am feeling better and am excited because I actually feel like typing and participating in discussion on mylot again. That is really sick when one...

In my life I have experienced sinners who have found religion; smokers who have quit smoking; drinkers who have stopped drinking; and drug users who have stopped using drugs. They seem to be all gung-ho and anxious to tell the...

hoseasmate And that's what I'm talkin about! I feel sometimes like some of the vegetarians and the runners and the green movement people are like a cult that they belong to and look with disdain on others who are not part of their particular movement. I eat homegrown...

hoseasmate I understand that! I have been ill for two weeks now and have spent a lot of money going to the physician and buying medications. What I caught from someone has cost me a lot of time off work and money. Maybe they were healthier and could recover without going...

My preference for a traditional Chrismas meal is to have a gigantic breakfast buffet after the kids have finished opening their presents. They are going to be too busy with the new toys to stop to eat, so I like to have small...

hoseasmate Yum. I like your Chrismas dinners! I like pineapple juice mixed with koolaid and orange juice, but not just by itself. It seems too sweet, I guess. I love fresh fruits and vegetables and usually eat them daily. That means the turkey or ham dinner that is...

hoseasmate We do require doctor's note when ill or come to work and tell the nurse that you are ill and they will assess and send you home. If you come in and the nurse sends you home there is no penalty. If you call in sick you must have a note or stay out of work for...

hoseasmate If people would use protective gear it would be great. My problem is that I thought I had allergies and then it seems that is not the case. So I probably made several people ill because I went to work thinking I was not contagious either. I'm staying home now...

hoseasmate I, too, work in the nursing home. The Director of Nurses was also sick and she thought it was something viral which means antibiotics won't help. I don't know what the stuff is, but it is wicked! I cough and cough and cough and barely catch my breath!

hoseasmate Best of luck to you. I became ill a week ago Friday and my friend became ill last Tuesday. Neither one of us is any better. I felt great Friday and after going to the market on Saturday, became very ill again. I'm finally going to the doctor today!

hoseasmate I work in a nursing home with the frail and elderly. When we bring disease and illness in to them, it can cost them their lives! It is not just an inconvenience about missing a few days pay. I didn't realize that I was as ill as I was either, until I thought I...

hoseasmate I've now been told that influenza A is what people who are sick are testing positive for. I don't know what I have, but I guess I can go to the doctor finally to find out. I don't seem to be getting any better! I won't go to work because I don't want anyone...

hoseasmate I wish our company had paid days for sick leave. I think that way fewer people would report to work ill and make the rest of us ill. I know that some will abuse these days, but overall, I think people for the most part would just use the days when they are...

hoseasmate I can't go to the office now because I'm way too sick and this is the 10th day now that I've been ill. I can't afford to lose pay either, but I don't want anyone to get what I have because it is awful! Fortunately for me four of the days I've been ill are on...

I had an indoor cat for several years and she 'escaped' while the house was being remodeled. She now wants to be outside as much as inside. I worried about her so much over the summer. I worried that she would get worms or catch...

hoseasmate I live in a very small house and there is only one door in and out. There is no door between the kitchen and living area and that leaves the two bedrooms or the bathroom that she would have to remain locked in, if that were the option I picked. I want her to...

hoseasmate I think she has found somewhere to shelter because she doesn't seem all that cold or distraught when she comes to beg for her food each day! I don't want to traumatize her by saying no that she can't go outside anymore, but I don't want to harm her either. I...

hoseasmate There are a lot of the combination facilities here. They are called CCRC's and are considered continuum of care facilities. The residents first live in the independent living side which is merely an apartment that is rented to them. They may then need help...
