A Happy Holiday

Posted in: Muscatine

I'm so very sorry if I offended you!  I stated the post the way I did, because I wanted to be "religiously" correct.  I'm so sure that not everyone on this board is a Christian.  One of the main reasons that I am no longer on this board very much, is due to this previous post!  I just can't believe, that no matter what a person does, that it pisses someone off!  And, FYI, I happen to be a Christian, and, am fully aware when Christmas is, AND, exactly WHAT Christmas means (or, I guess, what it's supposed to mean!).  May you ALL have a GREAT 2011!  (God, I hope that, that isn't taken for a political meaning!).


When you post on December 25 - Christmas Day - it should be politically and religiously correct to say Merry Christmas. That was the reason for my post. The "holiday" that we were celebrating on that particular day was Christmas. So if on February 14 we must say happy holiday because the holiday is named for St Valentine - I say we are taking this whole "holiday" BS too far!

My point being that no one should be upset for the wish for a Merry Christmas on December 25 regardless of your religious and/or political leanings. All this wishy-washy shirting the issue is ridiculous. If a person cannot say Merry Christmas on December 25 then we aren't living in The United States of America.

It seems that you think your point overrides his point.

TGM, I was amazed that someone here thought enough to offer holiday wishes without strings. Thank You.

Well, here I go again!  Tomorrow is supposed to be very warm, until the evening, when it could very easily turn to "sludge".  Since New Years' Eve is for amateurs, hopefully no one will get caught in the "crap/sludge, etc.,), tomorrow night!  I just wanted to wish each and EVERY one of you a very happy 2011.  At least I don't have to worry about being politically and/or religiously correct.  FYI, for inquiring minds, for those of you who know me personally, and, my "situation", after 2 months of going to the VA with my foot ulcer, I went to the "wound care facility" in Bettendorf, that most of you had seen advertised by Tappa's Steak House.  I was VERY impressed with their professionalism/staff/proceedures.  After going to the VA for the past 10+ years for my Diabetis, I am starting to realize that the VA is there just for "lip service", and, to make the government look good for what it's doing for it;s Vets.  The VA is certainly cheaper for me, but, IF I have to lose a leg, due to their "lip service", then, I guess that Trinity, in Bettendorf is a much less expensive (for me) hospital (in the long run).  It's too bad that the elections are over with.....I'm SURE that I'd get a much better response out of our Congressmen back then, than I will now.  Again, Happy New Years Ya'll!  Tom.

Thank you Nedl!  I just hate to use 2 different dr.s', but, when they talk about you losing your leg, I've just gotta look around.  This 2nd Dr. told me what caused the problem from the get go.  I'm doin' a LOT of praying, losing a leg would certainly screw up my weekend.  IF you can/will, pray for me, it would GREATLY be appreciated!  Thankx bunches to ALL of you folks!  Love ya all!  Tom.
