I call bullshit. They're doing flu shot clinics here at work starting next Tuesday.

sj, the flu vaccine changes every year; has the new one come out? That's still a weird thing to say, though, because flu season kicks in waaaay before February.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I have already gotten mine, and I would prefer that TCG get his before we get on sickness factory known as an airplane.

BS, sj. The CDC says to get a shot as soon as it is available because the flu season starts as early as October.

If I can tell him that the "smart people on the internet" (his term for buffistas) agree with me, maybe I can get him to get a flu shot at CVS or Walgreens, which are both offering them around here.

My doctor told me not to get one until the end of October.

Just make sure he doesn't let them give it to him in the tendon, instead of the muscle!!

smonster, I have found that trying to interpret the thought process behind gifts only leads to driving yourself crazy.
I made a huge fuss over how bad my most significant other was at gift giving. I felt misunderstood and 'messaged' into a bad place by everything he gave me.
Looking back, I'm not sure what I was on about, except that I had an expectation of a certain amount of rejection and disappointment in my intimate relationships.
It turned out that what I was 'seeing' was not what I was seeing. I actually use everything he gave me, except for one expensive necklace that I just don't like. I think he actually thought he was doing a good thing, but missed the mark.
The truth is, there was no secret code in his gifts and, if I could have seen past my own insecurities, I could have been the person I fancy myself to be and been more appreciative...or at least less judgy.
Disappointment is so often not even remotely about the thing in front of you.
