    The following day everyone ate breakfast quickly. Aaron, Abe, Lida, Able and Abbie were anxious to get on the road to meet ILikeSeven at Michiana. They had a good 6 to 8 hour drive ahead of them and had to find 3 more trucks along the way as well. When Aaron spoke up. " Abe, ya know, I totally forgot, ILikeSeven and his wife surely know how to drive. If we do need more trucks they could also drive back here." He said. "Good point, I never thought of that either. But maybe 5 trucks will be enough." He said. " Maybe, maybe not." Aaron answered.

     

    Becka had made up 3 large baskets of food for the trip there and the return trip home. Enough food for everyone. Some fried chicken, meatloaf sandwiches, Mason Jars of milk and cranberry juice, muffins and jars of fruit. She had got up extra early and they were lined up on the counter ready to go. "Don''t forget the food now Lida." She told her.

     

    After breakfast everyone got into the trucks, with the baskets, and the maps. They pulled out of the yard and onto the dirtroad and headed towards the street. They were on their way.

    VBG, I remember the episode you refer to, but I don't remember the mention of the inner eyelid. As for Admiral Foster, I just, started watching Enterprise at the end of the last season, but I understand what you mean. Durin TNG, if they did that to, say, Worf, I would've been royal P.O.ed!

    When Archer offered T'Pol his sunglasses she said she didn't need them because her inner eyelids would protect her eyes.

    There is way too much tampering with our body chemistry. Any tampering at all isn't good. I'm so glad some people in here are realizing this. Your body is the way it is for a reason. If you let other people tell you what to put in your body, I feel sorry for you. It's YOUR body, you only get ONE. And once something is in there, you can't get it out. :huh: They tell you it comes out but not totally, and it can continue doing harmful things to you. Once you've messed up one of your VITAL systems, it's too late. AND it's NOT to profit YOU. It's to PROFIT someone else's pocketbook.:yes: That's ALL it's about.

     

    Here I go again on Advertising :frusty: I saw this commercial on T.V. the other day. It went like this...............

     

    "YOU CAN'T SCHEDULE YOUR HEART-ATTACK. :o OUR HOSPITAL HAS CARDIAC SPECIALISTS AT THE HOSPITAL 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK."

     

    Talk about SCARE-TACTICS!!!!!! Like EVERYONE IS "DEFINATELY" GOING TO HAVE A HEART-ATTACK.

     

    AND everytime I turn around I am listening to someone telling me how sick I am. On the radio and on television. It's "BRAIN-WASHING"!!!! CONVINCE PEOPLE THEY ARE SICK AND THEY BUY YOUR PRODUCTS!!!! :yes: "THIS MAKES ME SICK"!!!!! :angry:

    #9. Hardly anyone gets sick. If they do they are usually dead really quick though. :yes: Oh, that reminds me.

     

    #10. Medical care the likes of which we can only dream about. :nono: Ya got ya one Doc, he fixes what's wrong with you with a hypospray to the side of your neck and you walk out of sickbay, all better. :nono: That's Amazing!! :( :o :wink2:

    I think bringing in and established Star Trek actor like Brent Spiner as a regular would snub and overshadow the rest of the cast. It would be like turning round and saying "You guys just arent good enough so we brought in Brent to keep things going"

     

    But thats just my opinion

    Putting him on as a regular would only serve to steal the limelight from the rest of the main cast. It's their show, not Brent Spiner's. As for the ratings? It's a sad thing if Enterprise needs a guest star to keep their ratings up.

    It's really not fair to compare Brent's popularity from his Years as Data with the new Enterprise. In time Enterprise will hold it's place in Star Trek history just as valued and important as all the characters we have grown to love and admire from the past. Try looking at the 'Big Picture' :nono:

    "Estimated time of arrival at Port of Michiana noon on the 20th day of November."

    Was the heading on ILikeseven's PM to Lida. Her return reply:

     

    "We'll be there waiting for you." :nono:

     

    After receiving ILikeSeven's PM Lida found a second PM waiting for her, this one was from Bill and Lenny.{Shatner and Nimoy} It read:

     

    "Been having a great time appropriating orphaned air-craft. Will be in the vicinity of 'Eden' soon and need some rest and home cooked meals. Don't be surprised to see us soon. We've got the map you posted on the site and are on our way to see you all.

     

    Your Friends, Bill and Lenny."

    And here are a few more:

     

    Smallpox (Variola virus)

     

    Smallpox infection was eliminated from the world in 1977.

     

    Smallpox is caused by Variola virus. The incubation period is about 12 days (range: 7 to 17 days) following exposure. Initial symptoms include high fever, fatigue, and head and back aches. A characteristic rash, most prominent on the face, arms, and legs, follows in 2-3 days. The rash starts with flat red lesions that evolve at the same rate. Lesions become pus-filled and begin to crust early in the second week. Scabs develop and then separate and fall off after about 3-4 weeks. The majority of patients with smallpox recover, but death occurs in up to 30% of cases.

     

    Smallpox is spread from one person to another by infected saliva droplets that expose a susceptible person having face-to-face contact with the ill person. Persons with smallpox are most infectious during the first week of illness, because that is when the largest amount of virus is present in saliva. However, some risk of transmission lasts until all scabs have fallen off.

     

    Routine vaccination against smallpox ended in 1972. The level of immunity, if any, among persons who were vaccinated before 1972 is uncertain; therefore, these persons are assumed to be susceptible.

     

    Vaccination against smallpox is not recommended to prevent the disease in the general public and therefore is not available.

    Anthrax (bacillus anthracis)

     

    Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in hoofed mammals and can also infect humans.

     

    Symptoms of disease vary depending on how the disease was contracted, but usually occur within 7 days after exposure. The serious forms of human anthrax are inhalation anthrax, cutaneous anthrax, and intestinal anthrax.

     

    Initial symptoms of inhalation anthrax infection may resemble a common cold. After several days, the symptoms may progress to severe breathing problems and shock. Inhalation anthrax is often fatal.

     

    The intestinal disease form of anthrax may follow the consumption of contaminated food and is characterized by an acute inflammation of the intestinal tract. Initial signs of nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever are followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and severe diarrhea.

     

    Direct person-to-person spread of anthrax is extremely unlikely, if it occurs at all. Therefore, there is no need to immunize or treat contacts of persons ill with anthrax, such as household contacts, friends, or coworkers, unless they also were also exposed to the same source of infection.

     

    In persons exposed to anthrax, infection can be prevented with antibiotic treatment.

     

    Early antibiotic treatment of anthrax is essential-delay lessens chances for survival. Anthrax usually is susceptible to penicillin, doxycycline, and fluoroquinolones.

     

    An anthrax vaccine also can prevent infection. Vaccination against anthrax is not recommended for the general public to prevent disease and is not available.

    Plague, Bubonic (Yersinia pestis)

     

    Plague is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Y. pestis, is found in rodents and their fleas in many areas around the world.

     

    Pneumonic plague occurs when Y. pestis infects the lungs. The first signs of illness in pneumonic plague are fever, headache, weakness, and cough productive of bloody or watery sputum. The pneumonia progresses over 2 to 4 days and may cause septic shock and, without early treatment, death.

     

    Person-to-person transmission of pneumonic plague occurs through respiratory droplets, which can only infect those who have face-to-face contact with the ill patient.

     

    Early treatment of pneumonic plague is essential. Several antibiotics are effective, including streptomycin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. There is no vaccine against plague. Prophylactic antibiotic treatment for 7 days will protect persons who have had face-to-face contact with infected patients

    How many times have you heard about this lately? Especally from guys and girls who came back from fighting in a war? They have all these vague symptoms that doctors can't explain, especially the government doctors. Recently on Enterprise it was mentioned a few times as well. And terrorists are releasing this stuff all over the world on unsuspecting civilians.

     

    Here is one of them:

     

    Brucellois (Brucella suis)

     

    Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria of the genus Brucella. These bacteria are primarily passed among animals, and they cause disease in many different vertebrates. Various Brucella species affect sheep, goats, cattle, deer, elk, pigs, dogs, and several other animals. Humans become infected by coming in contact with animals or animal products that are contaminated with these bacteria. In humans brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms that are similar to the flu and may include fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and physical weakness. Sever infections of the central nervous systems or lining of the heart may occur. Brucellosis can also cause long-lasting or chronic symptoms that include recurrent fevers, joint pain, and fatigue.

    Common infectious diseases

     

     

    By Mayo Clinic staff

     

    When you or your children aren't feeling well, one of the first things you may do is check for a fever. Although a fever isn't an illness itself, it's usually a sign that something's going on in your body. Yet fevers aren't necessarily bad. In fact, they seem to play a key role in helping your body fight off a number of bacterial and viral infections.

     

    A fever occurs when your temperature rises above its normal range. What's normal for you may be a little higher or lower than the average temperature of 98.6 F. That's why it's hard to say just what a fever is. But a "significant" fever is usually defined as an oral or ear temperature of 102 F or a rectal temperature of 103 F. If you're an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but it usually isn't dangerous unless it rises above 103 F. For very young children and infants, however, even slightly elevated temperatures may indicate a serious infection. In newborns, a subnormal temperature — rather than a fever — may be a sign of serious illness.

     

    Because a fever can occur with many different conditions, other signs and symptoms can often help identify the cause. For example, nausea and vomiting with a fever may mean gastroenteritis. A fever in addition to a cough that produces thick, yellow or green phlegm might be pneumonia.

     

    If you don't know why you have a fever, it's best not to try to lower your temperature. This may only mask your symptoms and make it harder to determine the cause. In addition, some experts think that aggressively treating all fevers actually interferes with your body's immune response. That's because the viruses that cause colds and other respiratory infections thrive at cool temperatures. By producing a low-grade fever your body may actually be helping eliminate the virus. What's more, most fevers go away in a relatively short time — usually within a few days.

    How many times have you heard THIS term on a Star Trek Episode? Here is a definition I found. It's NOT what I thought it was:

     

    Definition: [n] the faculty through which the external world is apprehended; "in the dark he had to depend on touch and on his senses of smell and hearing"

     

    I thought it meant alot MORE than this. :nono:
