You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wallybee and I just got vaccinated for H1N1. We're currently hanging around the doctor's office waiting to see if either of us are going to keel over.

We actually had the appointment for Ryan's 6 month vaccinations, and were caught up in feelings of solidarity with the poor little man. We are now a needled up family.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay for the good news, Cindy.

As for the flu shot, my personal experience would seem to contradict the claim that they are only providing vaccinations to high risk groups. I got the feeling they wanted to give out as many vaccinations as possible.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think it depends largely on municipality.

I got the regular flu shot a couple of weeks ago (the school provides them for us), but they won't have H1N1 for another month.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Cindy, that's fantastic news.

Beth, I hope Andy Cat feels better soon. Poor thing.

I am in a wibbly wobbly world of research and social worker visits today. I could probably combine the two somehow. Social worker might be nicer to me if she thinks I'm writing a paper on her.

Social worker might be nicer to me if she thinks I'm writing a paper on her.

Seska: [looks at social worker (SW) and makes a careful note.]

SW: Watcha doing?

Seska: Research. For . . . a paper.

You don't actually have to tell SW the topic, do you?

That said, SW should be nice to you regardless.

“Not dead yet!”

Agreed with Calli that SW should be nicer to you, Seska.

AndyCat, don't do that to your humans.

Yay for new home ownership, erin!

Need moar coffee.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Isn't it a waste of time to get the vaccine that isn't for H1N1? The anticipated flu strain is not the one that's moving through the populace.

No -- Beth is right; "normal" flu season doesn't ramp up until November-December-January. Getting a flu shot now allows you time to develop antibodies.

Part of the clusterfuck that is H1N1 is that no one expected it to be hitting its peak now, because it's considered early for a flu virus. Combine the peak with not enough vaccine, and it's one big crazy factory.

Ugh. Woke up, ate breakfast, and almost immediately threw up. Not sure what's going on here, but I don't like it.
