Oh, for me, yes. No big deal. But flu vaccine for Noah? Yes or no? Isn't there some sort of big scary Autism correlation?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love those articles because my first BF had a ridiculously notable (but not at all bad) smell, and he was attractive way out of proportion to any of his other obvious characteristics. Just about every single woman that met him veered in his direction, some not even going away when they saw me.
The article links to reports that women prefer "manly" men smells, and men may prefer the smell of ovulating women which makes me wonder how sentient we really are.
I know I can find scents sufficiently distracting that I have to change and shower to get even a pleasant male smell off me. But I can't really identify women that way, except for my mother.

I was looking at an article about the King Tut exhibit going to the Dallas Museum of Art. Their website made me blink, think "Well, they are Texans," then look again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's...unfortunate. It is a pretty good museum though.

Aside from the whole "vaccines have not been scientifically shown to correlate with autism" thing, they have thimerisol-free flu shots, which are standard at my Peds. For Noah, if it's not counter-indicated by anything else, definitely. (It's for 6 months and older, but I'm not sure how they count the 6 months with preemies? Where is he in routine immunizations?)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My neighbor just called to tell me that Sarah, my neighbor with the Lyme disease was just taken to the hospital. She can't walk, and she keeps twitching. Strange disease.

Allyson, that's awful. Lyme Disease is so insidious. Catch it quick, totally curable. If it's not caught, though, it can morph into almost anything. I've seen it cause everything from mild arthritis to severe neurological impairment, and there doesn't seem to be a way to predict who will get what effect. shiver Another reason that I'm glad I don't live in Lyme tick central anymore. I hope that your neighbor recovers soon.
