With a few exceptions his Facebook friends are fucked up.

Bushie, you no longer require assistance with spaghetti?
Guess I spoke too soon.

I have not had any water today.  Conversation stops there.  I don't feel like being yelled at over not drinking water today.

I don't think anyone's yelling. They're encouraging you to stay hydrated because illness of the tyoe you describe dehydrates people. It's a good way to keep hydrated and flush your system. The frustration comes from an active avoidance of the most basic and universal medical advice.

It appears ODF is well on his journey. RIP.

Someone did warn him on his Facebook that he could have the flu, "which is deadly."

I got rid of several people from here on Facebook so they wouldn't bring ANYTHING from Facebook over to the forum.  So, why did you just do that?

I am feeling somewhat okay.  I'm not as cold as I was, although my heat is up to 72 and I have no fans on, and my aches seem to be localizing to my lower right back and a headache.  The rest of the muscles are definitely sore, but they're manageable and I think they'll be gone relatively soon and definitely by morning.  I know my weight is at least partly to blame for the lower back.  I definitely don't think this is the flu because I'm not absolutely miserable.  I took some Tylenol a couple of hours ago and I will take some more before I go to bed.  I will likely go to bed early to ward anything off, but I have a hopeful feeling that I'll be nearly back to normal by morning.  That is good, because I am likely looking at an interview with a second company either Thursday or Friday.  I'll get the actual date and time and all the other details tomorrow.

Yes, that comment definitely sounded vaguely threatening. A second wave of purges may be on the horizon.

I'm not threatening anybody with anything.  I just want the copy and paste from my Facebook to stop.  They don't do that to anybody else so why would they do it to me?

The flu is deadly. Thousands of Americans die every year. I doubt Bushie has it though. When you have the flu, you know it. I got it two years in a row when I was in college. I've had a flu shot every year since. Even though the flu vaccine isn't as effective as an MMR or Polio vaccine, I'd still rather have better odds than not getting one at all.

I've had a flu shot every year since. Even though the flu vaccine isn't as effective as an MMR or Polio vaccine, I'd still rather have better odds than not getting one at all.

The flu is especially deadly in Oklahoma this year.  We have lost almost 60 people to the flu including several young children.

That said, I haven't had the flu since I got the swine flu in 2009.  The flu shot isn't really working this year, but I'm like you, I'd rather give myself a better chance to ward off any possible flu by getting inoculated every September than to take my chances by not getting it.  Yes, I believe God can take away and ward off any flu symptoms if He wants, but one thing the Bible preaches is common sense.  Despite many with the belief that Christianity is against modern medicine, that is definitely not the case.  Modern medicine was developed and continues to be developed for a reason and, I believe, the Bible tells us not to shy away from modern medicine.  God wants us to have faith in Him, but He also doesn't want us to be stupid, either.  He didn't create man with a stupid mind.  He created man with brains and He expects us to use the brains He gave us.

Anyway, I was cold earlier, but that was earlier.  I am hot now.  I'm still not feverish, but the room has gotten hot in a hurry since I've had the overhead lights on.  I have dropped the furnace to 71 and have turned the living room ceiling fan on high.  It already feels better.  I may be getting a shower before I go to bed so I can cool off even more and get my temperature regulated again.

If God can take away flu symptoms if he wants, then the question becomes, why doesn't He want to take away Bushie's? Has Bushie angered Him? Wait... you guys don't think... oh god no, Bushie have you briefly relaxed lately?!

Maybe He wants to teach me a lesson?  Most of the time, He doesn't take illnesses away on our timing, but His timing is perfect and there is always a reason to the suffering.  Although, I believe God is taking away my symptoms tonight.  I'm not near as miserable as I was about 4-6 hours ago.

What was the lesson He was teaching those young children?

Could it be that the exceptionally complex biological processes governing your body and possibly dictated by a creator who put the wheels in motion billions of years ago could see you through on their own (ie: your body weathers the illness on its own but thanks to its design) and that, in effect, is "God taking away the illness?"

I'm just asking if you're a believer in the science-y God who designed you to survive if you've taken care of your "temple," or the wizard-y God who waves magic wands and makes you all better.

Well, if there's anything we've learned, it's that you always learn your lesson!

You told the forum of a comment that was made on my Facebook.  I simply ask that you don't do that again.  I'm not threatening to drop you or anything, but I just wish people would learn that what is said on my Facebook stays on my Facebook and goes nowhere else.

So, now, I'm the bad guy because I want my Facebook left alone?  I'm not saying YOU copied and pasted, but other people have in the past.  Whether or not you copied and pasted, you still brought something in from Facebook.  Can you not just agree to not do that ever again?  I don't care whether it was copied and pasted or mentioned, I just want it to stop forever.

Phil, let's just let bygones be bygones and drop the subject.  I hate starting confrontations.  We've always been good friends on Facebook and the forum, and I don't want anything to change.

I'll absolutely agree to that. You know I respect you. To quote The Office, "You're a wonderful woman...and you're a helluva bowler!"

That said, do me a favor and have a drink of water. You were complaining about the heat earlier on Facebook. Maybe you can cool down with a glass of ice water.

Wait. Was I not supposed to bring up Facebook here at all?

You're fine, Phil, because I mentioned it on here, also.  Smiley   After I finish this can of Diet Dr. Pepper, I'll have a glass of water.
