PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

LAST EDITED ON 10-01-12 AT 07:28 PM (EST)*shrugs* We don't pay for that stuff up here. Flu shots are good if you get them when you're feeling in tip-top shape and get them every year. Think of it as a computer virus protection program - if you wait until the computer's already got a virus in it, it'll spread before the program has a chance to zap it. New viruses come out every day, so you've got to upgrade the program regularly to stay on top of it just like flu shots being upgraded every year. I have friends who claim that they get sick every time they get their flu shots. It's because they wait until they start to feel sick before going for the shot! I get mine when I'm feeling good so it lessens the impact of a flu later on when I do start to get symptoms.

Jeepers! The voice of reason from a skunk! Ah well, you are completely right, but you aren't letting me have any fun, are you? Meanie!
 I'm feeling a leetle chokey, but that was probably finishing up the stucco yesterday. I also had to sweat out all the beer. Dang-a-Roni..

I've never had one give me the flu yet, but I get mine every year, because the last damn thing I need with all the other health issues I have is to get the damn flu. At least if you get a flu shot, when you get the flu it's only maybe 30% as bad. Beats the hell outta full blown flu any day.

Here's one thing we agree on, then. I don't get flu shots either. I very rarely get the flu and when I do I get over it fairly easily. My family caught the H1N1 flu when it was spreading and we all got over it within a week, although it wasn't pleasant. When we took DD to the pediatrician, when he found that she tested positive for H1N1, he sent us out the back door and not through the waiting room lobby! And at that time, a standard flu shot would have been worthless, with no protection against H1N1.

I don't know that I've ever gotten one as an adult, and I don't generally get the flu, so I figure I am okay. DH, though, is required to get one for his job - He works for a health care company.. When he started the job in January, he was also required to get a chicken pox shot...because his blood work showed he'd not had the titer (?) ... so nearly three weeks later what does he come down with?? Yes.. the chicken pox... requiring him to take time off work.. which he did not have any PTO accrued for. Thankfully he was able to use PTO donations (from other employees) to cover the time off. I won't complain too loudly though.. they are a great corporation to work for, and have made many accomodations for us. DH was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in his leg & lungs in May, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at our local MD Anderson Cancer Center. The docs have devised a regimen that allows him to keep working, because no work, means no insurance, which means no cancer treatment... I can't say enough good things about Banner & MD Anderson.. No tricks from Moonbaby, just treats!!

I tell myself every year to get one and then don't. Haven't had more than the sniffles in years so maybe I am overconfident and one of these years will get the flu.

23. "You want a flu shot." |
LAST EDITED ON 10-05-12 AT 06:52 PM (EST)Read: The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John M. Barry. This was about the 1918 flu pandemic, and after reading it, you will not be shy about getting the shot. It killed an estimated 40 million worldwide, and the virus that hit then was not much different (and could recur) from that deadly mutation. They were stacking bodies in the streets of cities, much like they did during the middle ages in the Black Plague. Very scary. We probably all had ancestors (no matter where in the world we lived) who died then. And it's effect on the terms of the treaty signed after WWI (the Treaty of Versailles, which set the stage for WWII) is startling. We are still living with how that flu epidemic changed borders and history. There are other accounts also, and they are probably as good, but this one floored me.

Yeah, all the little fry go to school. We do have to use fish eye lenses. And turning pagers with fins is a pain.

Problem is every year I get it (including this one), I spend the next few weeks freaked I am getting Guillaine Barre Syndrome. The tingly is probably due to tunnel carpel, but still.

43. "...So" |
I finally, actually GOT a flu shot on Thursday (very busy, you know) and had a "mild reaction" today.. About twenty hours later:All joints freeze up from the sandpaper someone snuck in there. "Achy" ain't the word. Eyes turn "Bango Purple - Crayola color= ? Eyes itch to the point of rubbing them into double vision. Sadly, I've been familiar with double vision, and also blame having a shot or two. Fever! My beautiful face turned into a Brandywine Tomato! Fatigue. I turned useless inside of 10 minutes. Properly Zombified, I still stayed at work this afternoon to collect my miserable paycheck. *secret lazy grin* So, go get one! The real thing must really whack you! leBeebe Veerall Don't fret, the new needles are quite small, about the size of a #16 galvanized sinker nail. About that smooth too. You'll never even think about it. Unfortunately the serum is very viscous. After they extract the needle, if they're able to stop the bleeding, a nurse has to push the bump around for a few minutes so it doesn't disfigure your arm too much.
