    Flu Shots

    Have you got your flu shots yet???? I for one recommend them. There are some people who do not like the idea of any type of vaccine from the government and that is ok. I make sure all of my family gets their shots. Why, it is my hope in the event of a pandemic we will be able to weather the storm better. So it is my recommendation for all of you to get one, just another thing to prep for...........

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    I get mine every year...

    If there is a vaccine that I can take, I take it. Just in case.

    Never took it. Never will. Everyone I know that does ends up sick with. Just a few days.

    Never get any vaccines. I have not been sick in over 20 years. I don't catch anything that I have been exposed to. From measles, to chicken pox, colds, flu, none of it seems to make me sick. Heck can't even catch poison ivy.

    Never had the flu. Wife has brought me strep before. She has been a nanny for 25+ years. generally I rarely get sick. If I do I'll have a fever for a day or two and pretty well sleep thru it. Then back at it sniffling some. Other than strep and a occasional sinus infection I am pretty healthy. Not much allergies either. The only time I've had any poison anything, I got poison oak(PO) all over my forearms one fall. I was cutting down and old dead elm that had a couple large PO vines on the trunk. I got hot and sweaty cutting it down so I went down to a t shirt and cut the tree up. I had sawdust all up both arms. Didn't realize what I had done until the next morning. That sucked and took nearly a week to get it healing up good. Never had any poision attacks before or since.

    A few months ago a friend of mine (who is an RN) sent me an email with an article about a different flu shot they are giving to people only over 50 (I believe that was the cut off age, but it was for older ppl) and it was saying there was something in it that was not healthy for us. I wish I had kept the email. Has anyone heard of this?
    I apologize for nothing...

    I'm similar. when everyone else is taking a week or so off work, I may get the sniffles for a day. I do get poison ivy, but it's probably my fault for rolling around in it. It itches me for a bit, then I give it a good scrub with gas, and its done. Drives my wife nuts... she walks past it and she has it for the whole summer and the itch drives her bat-shit crazy! crazier?? lol

    Oh yeah, and I have never had a flu shot!

    Angry, or calm?
    Just black and white words on a screen.
    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    Lady we all just get the same here, young and old alike. If you do hear anything else could you post it?
