I don't get flu shots, mainly because flus that I've had have only been slightly worse than bad colds, and the fever and tiredness give me an excuse to stay home a few days and catch up on my sleep. Also, I dislike going to the doctor for anything that doesn't involve agonizing pain and will get better on its own in short order.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, best wishes for your mom, and you, as well.
Thanks Nilly, and everyone.
ION, I imagine that thousands of years from now, a lot of people will probably be a little unclear on what for them will be ancient history. So what if a person a thousand years from now decides to do a random search of blogs, posting boards, etc on this day in the year 2007? They might conclude that the days of sailing ships and piracy on the high seas coincided with the internet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I have had 3 or 4 flu shots. I tend to do poorly fighting things off. I think I was bed ridden for 4 days and pretty miserable for another week with what I think was the flu a couple of years ago (year without a shot).

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I usually get a flu shot because my employer offers them for free, and for the past several years I've had a parent or parents not in the best of health that I'm visiting for the holidays. I figure getting the shot reduces the odds I'm going to show up in Alabama at Christmas bearing exotic flu, courtesy of my big city, county hospital workplace, for my mom who's down to one lung and is recovering from chemo. Also, since I have to miss my share of work when Annabel is sick or when daycare is closed for whatever reason, anything that might keep me from using sick leave for personal use is a good thing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Last year I got the shot and got the flu within a couple weeks. I think it was a coincidence, though, that the shot didn't have time to work on me.
