  hey all,.

  i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.

  i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

  Hey Snare, please take care and get well soon.

  Just one question... how much vitamin C are you taking and with what regularity?

  Answer only if you feel up to it.

  Can someone help with an OPEN OFFICE question please?

  i've only recently started using this programme.

  it does exactly what i need, but one thing i don't like about it is this:.

  when i type out more than one page, it displays them on the screen as side by side - instead of sequentially below each other.. can anyone tell me how to change the way the documents are displayed?.

  I use LibreOffice that a few years ago forked from OpenOffice.

  On the bottom right hand corner you should have some little icons representing the view. Just click on the 1 page icon. That should do it.

  If you cannot see the bar, activate it by going to VIEW - STATUS BAR to activate it. (It should have a check mark beside it, if it does not, just click it once)

  Or read this: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87947

  Thanks @Atlantis, same to you!

  @Zing... no problem. I can understand 100%, it is a situation that lot of us have been in. In my particular case it does not matter anymore, been out for 10 years already.

  Have a good one!

  And yes, they have deferred the special action to preach in Bolivia in Plattdeutsch until 2021.

  Hi saorean,

  welcome! I guess you're right concerning the age group. I would guess that the exjw community on Reddit is on average younger.
  

  I'm also over 50 already.

  As A Former JW Are You Patriotic At All?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?

  is voting important to you?

  are you supportive of your country?.

  What is a guy like me to do? Born in Panama, from a Venezuelan mother and a German father, raised in Honduras and now living in Germany. Yes, that Honduras and that Venezuela.

  To be honest, having lived in ALL of those countries at different times of my life, I learned to love them and appreciate them, but it was always hard to be patriotic per se. I consider myself a citizen of the world, and I've learned that it is more about the people and not the subjective concept of "nation". In every country I have lived, I have found lovely people, as well as people who were relatively easy to despise.

  Do I vote here in Germany? Of course I do! I am part of this society now, so I participate in it.
