Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Everyone, teleport to Seattle!

Do I need to change?
Do I need to change?
No, silly. We love you just the way you are.
It will surprise no one to learn that I really am going to steal Jilli's plan, and get sushi on the way home.

That's because it's a GOOD plan. Sushi is almost always a good plan.
Yeah, I think anyone in the public sector like teachers and health care people and social workers and prison guards and...you get the idea, should get flu shots. I told my mom and dad I'd beat them up if they don't, on the offchance the dang thing actually works. Mom's a teacher and a lot of her population is high risk (we keep joking that one day she'll bring home the plague....and sadly, that is a possibility. We have hanta out there!) And dad pretty much gets whatever mom brings home. And they are in their sixties.
Me? I can be fairly antisocial and don't have nearly the various paths in which I could be exposed. So I risk it, mainly out of laziness.
Jim Henson, who died suddenly and stupidly of the flu the year I graduated from college, and how when my friends and I heard that news on NPR as we were all driving up to see the Spike & Mike animation festival in Rhinebeck, we all got hushed and sniffly,
Aw. I was in college when he died and heard the news on the radio and then they played "It's Not Easy Being Green" and I cried.
Here's my thing with flu shots. I have no contact with kids, who are most likely to pass it around, or with the elderly, who are most likely to be harmed by it. So I don't see the point in spending the money, getting the stick, or potentially using vaccine that someone else needs more.
My kid and my parents got flu shots. I'm not, because I'm not in a high-risk group this year (I was last year, but with the shortage and the bedrest, I went shotless), and while I could get it for free, if I don't actually need it, I'll take my chances without.
