I was driving late Saturday Night home from a play my head felt like it was going to explode. Pain I’ve never felt before and I have had a migrane before.. it was so much worse. I luckily was able to pull over into a parking lot of an abandoned factory. I saw headlights so I flashed my headlights. Luckily it was a security guard who could send for an ambulance. I had a cell phone but the pain was so intense I couldn’t dial or think straight. So I am at home with a viral spinal meningitis and a huge hospital bill including a trip in an ambulance besides lost work time. When people choose to come out sick while contagious they spread their virus to you and if your body chooses it sends the virus to the menges in the brain. It’s dangerous and expensive to your health an wallet. Please don’t come out sick. I was supposed to give a talk on Sunday I stayed
home and my husband gave it. Thanks for listening.

No one in church has said zip about illness/H1N1 here. Like it would help anyway. The kid behind me in sacrament mtg coughed on the back of my neck for several minutes, and when he was finally done, I heard his father tell him to cover his mouth. Thanks. I got sick that night and was very sick the rest of the week ! It’s not just the elderly and immune-compromised people that should be careful – it”s also those of us who are uninsured !!

Kim, I doubt the Europeans knew Joseph’s key to uncovering evil angels!

“I understand that we need to shake everyone’s hands to ensure that they are not an angel of darkness. Am I wrong about that?”

Yes, you are. It’s a tradition of European society that has been around for centuries.

re: shaking hands

I understand that we need to shake everyone’s hands to ensure that they are not an angel of darkness. Am I wrong about that?

“Today we sat in every other row so deacons can pass to each individual. All priests and deacons wore gloves. Instead of putting cups back in the tray, someone came along behind with a bag where you put your cup. Individuals still take the bread and water though.”

Please tell me you’re joking about all that? I can picture Michael Jackson passing the sacrament wearing a white glove… get a grip people. Leaders have a responsibility to remain calm and NOT feed into this hype.

Is this post serious?

For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for be that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore be receiveth no reward.

Having the bishop tell you that you can stay home when sick? Use your brain people.

Also – don’t believe all you hear about H1N1. Fact is most are NOT H1N1.

Well, I once sat in a planning commission where it was discussed to blow up a bridge and blockade the highway if worst came to worst…. but I bet you can guess what state that was in? :)

It was a good plan though!

There are a lot of crazy claims about sanitizers out there, and you have to read the fine print. Putting alcohol in the hands of children is a bad idea and the skinwear stuff only kills at 99.9% of germs which is the same as soap and water. I really love this one because it kills 99.999% for up to 30 minutes and it is alcohol-free: http://www.cleanphirst.com/store/alcohol_free_foam_hand_sanitizer.asp

They also have decontamination cleaning products and automatic pumps for large facilities…
