Davis T. is entered into the Gap Casting Call
 | |
| Hello everyone! I entered Davis for the Gap Casting Call online. No, I don't really think that she will be the 'new face of Gap' ... not because she's not cute enough :) ..., but if she's the fan favorite you can win a cruise. And after... all who couldn't use a cruise every now and then? You can vote once per email every 24 hours ... and if she wins I promise to bring you all back a fabulously cheesy souvenir ... the quality of which will be determined by how many times you vote! Alli Gap is holding a nationwide contest to find the next faces of babyGap and GapKids, and Davis T. is entered into the contest. Check out Davis T.'s entry here: |  Contestant # 45094545 |
| This email was sent to you by your friend to refer you to the Gap Casting Call. You have not been added to Gap's marketing list. | |

H1N1 Family Considerations
Us old guys just got back from a great time at Lake Powell. It was fun to spend time with Mom & Dad Gunn. When we got home I had a chance to speak to Savanna who had just finished a government mandated H1N1 training session for Jordan Valley Hospital. She had some important information that I think is pertinent for all of us to consider this winter.
First, I must put this information in context. Savanna has over the months expressed a personal feeling that the H1N1 information being diseminated through the media was a bunch of baloney. She has changed her attitude completely after the training.
So here again are some things we should/must consider as we interact as a family.
1. H1N1 virus is different than the normal flu. The government is expecting an outbreak similar to the Spanish Flu decades ago that was devastating world-wide. This virus can be a killer, particularly to those groups considered to be at risk. We must be more careful in exposing each other to this virus. Even when it is inconvenient.
2. Mom & Dad Gunn are in one of the high risk groups. People over the age of 65 with kidney disease, diabetes and respiratory issues are at very high risk. Please do not expose them through personal contact if you or your kids have ANY of the following symptoms. Fever (101 or higher), cough, aching muscles, or any other flu like symptoms. If in doubt, don't expose. We will all need to be very mindful of this, even if you aren't getting sick from the exposure and even if Mom & Dad poo-poo the risk.
3. The H1N1 vaccine is limited and will be given to the highest risk categories first. Anyone that is pregnant and in the third trimester is at great risk. Children under the age of 5 are at high risk too. I know all young people are immortal but it is better to be safe than sorry.
4. Savanna is not trying to panic or scare people but she says that the government is expecting the worse starting next month. As an example, she knows of some hospitals that will be triaging emergency room visits through a drive-up window. Those having ANY flu like symptoms will be quarantined in a separate facility to avoid exposure to the general public/hospital goers. This isn't the only information that has caused her concern but the gist of the message is to that we need to take this potential epidemic seriously.
Now, you all know I'm not a doctor and I certainly don't want anyone to go out and act singly on the information I have given. Maybe the impetus for all this is to start a discussion that will have us all consider how we interact in the coming months, particularly with Mom & Dad Gunn, so as to not expose each other to this potentially deadly virus. As a bishop it seemed to me that most Mormons thought that the ends justified the means when exposing each other to sickness. Certainly no one can get sick if they are simply going to Church and doing the right thing...can they?!
Let's don't use this mentality with those we love. The risk is just might be too great.
Thanks for the forum.

Disney World!!! and birthday!!!!
Outside the Lego store in Downtown Disney. This is for you Cams. What could be better than Lego dogs?
The complete package, 30 year-old pirate included (no eyepatch, yet).
The Orlando Florida temple.
Our delicious ice cream sundae. I'd been looking forward to this the whole trip, but Nicole got the first bite.
Mary Poppins. She was hitting on me, "May I take your arm?"
It was the flower festival at Epcot while we were there. All the characters were made of shrubbery.
Our hotel, or Disney World! It was soooooooooo humid.
In the Animal Kingdom, Nicole's second favorite park. She especially liked the Safari ride. I liked the Yeti. It went backwards.
We're about to be trampled by an imperial walker, but don't seem too worried about it.
My pirate birthday loot. AAAAAARRRRR! Notice my awesome skull head card behind the cake!
