Post #13 Flu shots

Look I've never had a flu shot... even with the H1N1 scare.  I'm curious is to how many of you have actually had the flu shot.  My wife has had the flu 2 yrs in a row, and has been sick for 3 days max, and I'm yet to be sick.  Conspiracy theorists will run a muck on this one...... but after not having been sick with the flu since a child and never having a flu shot, I'm beginning to wonder if this is just a ruse to get people to spend money on health care?!?! What do you think??



So H1N1is the most deadly atm, there is no denying that.  However, it doesn't seem that H1N1 isn't anymore deadly than the older strain of virus from the 1930's....

My own conclusion:  H1N1 has a higher mortality rate among those that catch the virus (especially children and elderly).  However, the % of people that catch the disease hasn't changed much in the past 50-75 yrs.  If you're not a child and/or elderly you can probably get through the flu season (even if you catch the virus) just like any other season (but its recommended to receive the anti virus).  Take your vitamins, drink lots of juice, stay away from the sickies, and eat some chicken noodle soup if you do get sick.  Otherwise, I don't see a need for a panic, I feel the same this year as I did the last 20 years. 

Every year since the H1N1 scare you are going to hear about how you should get their flu shot.  If you work in health care, in a hospital around a bunch of people infected with influenza, then I would recommend getting the shot. 
If you are a regular ol' joe like me; occasionally drink your juice maybe take a vitamin every now and then, are in your 20-55 range, work out from time to time, then I wouldn't worry about a thing.  Even if you get sick, do what your mama taught ya and you will be fine within a few days.  Same old same old, I find that the current scare is just a way to make some extra cash. 



In saying this.. I'm not a doctor, and in now way am qualified to make a medical decision that could affect your life, make your own decision.

Post #12 Alcolholics drink up

I ran across this post a week or two ago... I love to drink, mainly b/c my position will not allow anything else.  I've always wanted a "one stop shop" post for any type of drink.  Well here is what I've found, hope you like. :)

Post #11 Are these people stupid? Yes, yes they are.....

Pastor Fred Phelps and several members of the Westboro Baptist Church will be discussing their case before the Supreme Court, in which they'll be arguing for their right to picket at military funerals with the message that soldier deaths are divine punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.  Their reason they believe they can do this is their right to "free speech".
First off these morons don't even realize that the only reason they have these "free speech" rights is because of the people risking their lives to protect the country.  Stories like this make me sick and angry. 

 
I'm sorry, and people don't take this the wrong way, but some of the worst hypocrites in the world are the ones that follow a specific type of religion. 

Take this in consideration with you today.... You are driving down the street and are behind someone with one of those Christian fish emblems on the back of their car.  Then possibly right next to that fish they have a bumper sticker "my son/daughter is an honor student" or possibly a magnet promoting their favorite sports team.  Do they not realize that one of the seven deadly sins, and some believe to be the worst sin, is PRIDE??!?!  Take that sh*t down you hypocrites, or at least don't call yourself a Christian. 

Again, I apologize for any offensive things I might have said... and that's my rant for the day.  

Post #10 Two quick videos

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Alight the first video is of my favorite soccer (football) team AC Milan, who are based out of Italy.  The video is of a player, who anyone who watches soccer knows, named Andrea Pirlo.  He is known for his long distance goals, and makes it look EASY.  This game was just this past weekend. 

The second is the trailer of a movie I'm eagerly anticipating.  Its called Paranormal Activity 2.... If you haven't seen the first one, and like horror/thriller movies, I highly recommend it.  Have a great week!

Thanks to all who comment/follow!

Post #9 Something funny

Alright I ran across this in an email from a guy I used to work with.... if this offends anyone, I'm sorry.. but this is just plain funny.

This is a picture of Air Force 1... with a recent new flight number posted on the tail.

I'm not 100% sure if this is real or not, if I had to guess I would say it isn't... still funny though.
