People use the term "flu" too casually -- when you get a REAL flu, you don't soon forget it!

I think it's about a third of the price and many doctors speak English well and are very good. <br />Just a thought...<br /><br />Jenny o- I guess they make their best guess as to which viral agents are going to make up the flu this year and then make the vaccine on that information and it has NOT proved very effective this year. <br />Yes. That is why roosters are important. They do watch out. They do present defense against predators in some cases. <br /><br />Frances- Sounds like a lovely day! And how nice that the dog is starting to get used to the children. Or is it the opposite? <br />Snow and ice. No thank you. I'd rather not. <br />Poor you!<br /><br />Birdie- Perfect quote. You should remind me at least once a month.

So it would be a crime against nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things that we were designed in the first place: the opportunity to do good work, to enjoy friends, to fall in love, to hit a ball, and to bounce a baby.” Alistar CookeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-52105165577510819472015-01-18T14:35:16.002-05:002015-01-18T14:35:16.002-05:00Sorry to hear about the flu..not quite sorted out ...Sorry to hear about the flu..not quite sorted out your family names yet as only been reading you for a couple of weeks. I have had a nice day as it is my husbands birthday on Tuesday, and 2 of our sons have been here this afternoon . Eldest with wife and the grandkids, and No 2 son with his fiancee. They get married in ~October. We had quite a break through with my dog and the little ones…the kids actually managed to stroke the dog, and the dog didn't bark at the kids!! It is near to freezing here at night, and we had a covering of snow yesterday, but luckily it soon went away. I fear falling over on ice and snow!<br />.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576715462615744934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-49869978610103128592015-01-18T13:35:20.642-05:002015-01-18T13:35:20.642-05:00I hope the little ones can avoid getting sick, too...I hope the little ones can avoid getting sick, too. This has been a bad year for illness; the flu shot far less effective than usual. There is a lot we still don't know about such a common illness.<br /><br />Your descriptions are beautiful. I didn't realize that roosters look out for their hens like that. It's nice to think they do.<br />jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-26690319826508328502015-01-18T13:25:19.217-05:002015-01-18T13:25:19.217-05:00Yes, the sun is shining brightly here today, too. ...Yes, the sun is shining brightly here today, too. My sweet guy and I made plans last night to drive to Longboat Key today to see how the bazillionaires live and walk on the beach. But that tooth that needed a root canal, but really needed to be pulled so I could get $20,000 implants? Yeah, it's throbbing like a sumbitch and I need to wait for the Ibuprofen to kick in a little before I go anywhere. My sweet guy is watching The Nutty Professor on TV and the dog is sleeping in the rays of sunshine coming in through the windows. In spite of the tooth thing, life is good!Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408495829569772826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79311209098555386982015-01-18T12:01:54.137-05:002015-01-18T12:01:54.137-05:00Jo- Yep.

I grew up getting flus - high fevers, days of fevered sleep - rarely get them any more, despite the annual hysteria. I hope Lily's better soon. And I'd make the soup anyway, of course she'll want it soon enough. Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.com
