Ugh Ginger, what a bummer.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Not enough. I need to get things like bananas and applesauce, apparently.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Christ, Ginger. I hope it abates soon. Feel better, as much as you can.

Cream of Wheat? I've been making it with maple syrup and cinnamon and it's delicious.

Good thing you're moving at full speed into the future.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Ginger. I hope you feel better soon.
Ugh, one of my friends here is preggers and is asking for advice on whether she should follow the doctor's recommendation and get a flu shot and a TDAP booster. Here was the first response:
I'm not a mom but I say no way!!! If people say not to dye your hair while pregnant or eat sushi why would you put a virus in your body while growing a baby? Doesn't seem right to me.

Thankfully I'm not the only one talking sense, and I linked the relevent CDC pages as well as that article from the NYT about the study showing that babies usually get infected by adults in the household.
eta here's another prize-winning comment:
And the best antibodies ever are in breast milk, which I got the idea you were planning on breast feeding anyway. I don't think antibodies from a vaccine could even compare to the ones found in breast milk.

The antibodies that are put in breast milk by pixie dust, I presume.

smonster, the stupid... it burns.
So I still have a fever (illness started Saturday). As of 2 minutes ago, it's 100.9. I'm not pleased. And I have to be on a plane Wednesday afternoon.

smonster,
the only caveat I would say is that perhaps she should get the shots on different weeks? I was MISERABLE when I got flu, TDAP and pneumonia the same day. My weekend sucked and my arm hurt like fuck.
I don't know if it makes a difference to get them on different weeks though. I'd get flu soon. There is a nasty flu running around now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Because if the mother gets flu and pertussis, that's totally okay!
