I realize that correlation is not causation, but of course I can't separate the two in my mind since they happened so close together. As for proper washing of hands, yeah, I'm pretty bad at that.... I do feel better today. Now, if I could just stop my belly from distending outward and process food normally, I'll be good to go. Flying yesterday was a trick. I abstained from eating for 18 hours so as not to upset folks with, er, regurgitation.

You likely got a virus or bacteria from water, food, or from touching something with the organism and from not having your hands properly washed before eating or drinking. The redness on your arm where you got poked was a localized reaction and your body reacting to it. <br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212001894912473388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278316599652495769.post-91021031884721211872012-05-24T18:20:59.292-07:002012-05-24T18:20:59.292-07:00Hey braaaaah....how much sleep do you recommend?Hey braaaaah....how much sleep do you recommend?Doublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499652315955698205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278316599652495769.post-51108823445428970822012-05-18T18:45:28.883-07:002012-05-18T18:45:28.883-07:00VERY jealous!

In contemporary society, its hard to have a good conversation about something like this. We didn't resort to name calling, or stepping outside the boundaries of respectfulness. Even if all we get, both of us, is a better understanding our own position, that's enough.

I don't profess to know the answer. Yet I am unwilling to accept this answer on faith: THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE. I'm not wired that way, although I have tried. Also, I don't think evolution would be a reason for 'giving up' on a higher power and objective morality; I think that's the dilemma of the either/or schools of thought. Evolution? That's the most Intelligent Design I could imagine! Lastly, for me, all life is precious regardless of the other questions/answers.martykchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416307554750019260noreply@blogger.com
