 The Flu

How many of you out there got the flu shot and then ended up with the flu??

I didn't get it and am geting the "I told you so" from my bride of 13 years. She got it.

I just don't like the idea of geting injected with stuff based on a guess what the virus is this year. This leads me to another point.

I have a buddy who wastes too much time thinking about how the Government is trying to "thin the heard" He swaers they send the virus out somehow somewhere to wed out the population- Tell me this guy isn't a crackpot!

I never had a flu shot in my life and never had the flu(at least I don't think I did). My 5 year old started school and he was 1st, my 3 year old was 2nd and now me. Wifey still is good as new.

What's the opinions on this flu shot or , like my wife had at the hospital she works at, the flu mist?

I hate needles almost as much as snakes but I'm about as sick right now as I've ever been...Go figure- firefighter afraid of a 6" snake or a 1" needle!

Does this shot work? If I get good response I'll try to get it next year. Lots of baloney that they ran out. You could have gotton it hee easily all season- mist or shot.

 The Flu

I work sunday - thursday. Got hit friday and made it in sunday. When I went in last night to work the yard horse for 12 hours I had a 103 fever. I didn't wash my hands when I ate my chicken soup my wife packed me and my hunk of bread. By 0700 this morning I actually "sweat" it out and and getting better. I'm staying away from the shots. Who the hell knows what they are putting in you. It was a bunch of baloney that they ran out. Anyone I knew who wanted one could have had one. We had FLU SHOT night at my fire department for all us firefighters and families. My wife is still a-ok. Me, both kids, my wife's 2 aunts who watch the kids all got it. My wife got the shot and she's aok...go figure.

It's true and I tell my wife this all the time (she is a dental hygentist) A little germs are good for you. She's a germ freak but I must ay she stays healthy. When we were in Italy on our honeymoon we were in some church and it was a rare day that the blood from San Genaro was liquid. Everyone had to kiss the cros that had this blood inside. She freaked that there were germs on that- A freakin saint won't give you germs in church I told here, kis it to God. We still laugh about that. But I'm the guy who gets sick. I handle being sick good but this flu thing may have ben my first sick day in my 16 years at the same company had it ben on a work day when it really hit. Maybe I'm just getting old.
