advantages
if you have a compromised immune system - asthma , strong allergies, diabetes - any thing where you get sick and it means you are sick for a week ormore - it is one more thing you can avoid. If you are around people that have a compromised immune system - it is one less thing you bring to them.
disadvantages - sore arm , and if you were comming dowmn with a cold , it may be worse than usual
neutral - it will only keep you from getting the flu that is in the vaccine
other notes - don't get them to early - If I recall correctly, the vaccine is most potent in the three months following the shot.
Happy Birthday, Brenda!!
If you work with kids, I'd say get one because they're little petrie dishes--and they can suffer more from the effects of the flu if you pass it on to them.
One drawback, however, is that you never know which virus is out there. The vaccines are estimated on which strains are the most likely ones currently being passed around. So a vaccine is not guarantee you won't get some strain of flu.
A pro, though, is that if you do get it, you most likely will suffer a lot less from the infection.

I found out this morning that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark will be the grand marshal at a racing event in Memphis this weekend. Yes people, the end is truly nigh, as NASCAR has discovered a promotion that is seriously tempting me to spend $50 to watch auto racing.
Be careful, Matt. The NASCAR crowd is an entirely different world.
This is true.
Oooo. Cass, I just noticed on the entry list for the event that Montoya will be racing. Almost, makes me wanna go too. I'll have to see if I can manage special passes.
Oh?? Hey, Matt... Need a beardtastic date?
I had a nasty mozzarella sandwich for lunch with a nasty mostly-cabbage salad situation from the gross new place we keep ordering staff meeting lunches from. Annoying! I had to get popcorn after.
I keep forgetting to write about this - but it is the msbelle time of year around here. I drive home through some very twisty roads - and the first part of it is on the top of the ridge. this time of year there are some amazing sunsets. huge long bnads of coulds that grab all the colors. Last night was the second time that the whole world turnd a deep, bright , vibrant pink. msbelle sunsets.
beth made me smile, a lot. that is so nice to be thought of. thanks.
Nice.
I am paralyzed by having too many small-ish tasks to do, all of which are basically due early next week. Ahh!!
