JohnsonJones Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 I went traveling a bit over the holidays. The areas I went to do NOT have the freedoms that we have in the US. I did not do anything illegal and did not get into any trouble, but there was an incident that made me grateful for the freedoms I have in the US. As I went on my day to day activities there, I recognized many freedoms they did not experience that we take for granted in the United States. I am SO grateful for my freedoms that I have here. I am so grateful I was born into a place where we have freedom of religion and freedom of speech. These are principles that are not enjoyed in some other nations. I recognized how much I love having my freedom in these areas. Normally I like to type longer (as many know, I am somewhat of a long poster), but... I also picked up some sort of nasty bug. I am down and out for the count. I came here to say I'm back, but unfortunately I will not be able to peruse all the threads that have popped up during my absence. I have a lot of catching up to do on these forums, but first I have to get better. The doctor gave me some pills, so I should be better in a week or less (or I hope I will be). That's the other dredge of going to other places, you get exposed to things that you normally might not get exposed to at home. I am not doing well at the present and it's all I can do just to sit and type this out. I do want to catch up on the goings on in the forums though...eventually. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas and have a happy New Year! Maureen and Sunday21 2 Quote

the Ogre Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 I've been sick since the 23rd and got the crud here on the Wasatch Front. Did you take the crud with you and spread it to those in that freedom hating land you visited (was it Denver?)? zil 1 Quote
Sunday21 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 @JohnsonJones. Very nasty flu going around! From Oz apparently. Feel better soon! Quote

bytebear Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Our whole house is sick. Every one is coughing. It's terrible. Quote
JohnsonJones Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Posted January 5, 2018 I'm up an about now. I think I may have passed it onto my son though. He's having a rough time of it. He was bed ridden all of yesterday and today. I'm back on my feet though, at least enough for my wife to allow me out of bed and gazing at a computer screen. Hopefully I won't be too wordy, but I've taken some Dayquil today and it's beginning to feel like great stuff. Normally avoid taking this stuff if possible, but I was going stir crazy. Quote
Jacob G. Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 i was once very sick. it paraded about my mind as if it were a flamboyant dancer. he told me many things while he stayed, among them gospels that i would never forget. Quote
