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.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Here's another!
Eat well, rest well, sleep well, be well and so will your baby. Enough meddling from the medical community! The more the pharmaceutical industry pumps into us the weaker our natural immune system seems to get.
To which I responded:
"Jessie, vaccines save lies. Period. Fact. Do you know anyone who's had polio? Do you know anyone who's had scarlet fever? Because I don't. We've forgotten how heart-breaking and deadly those diseases are, because no one gets them any more. Because vaccines.
"Pertussis is making a comeback because of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children fully. Fact.
"And those of you who've never gotten a shot but never gotten the flu, I'd like to gently suggest that herd immunity may play a factor in that. In other words, all the people who do get their flu shots help protect those who don't.
"Yes, I'm passionate about this issue. I find it disheartening that so much misinformation and speculation and personal "anecdata" (IOW, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data") outweighs decades of proven science. And it puts us all at risk."

Umm, if she is pregnant she isn't exactly nursing yet.

Ginger, I hope the ick passes quickly.
On odd medical stuff, I was doing a walk through at a customer site a couple days ago and we went into each of the 10 exam rooms to see where we were going to install equipment and so forth. The office manager hit the hand sanitizer every time we entered one of the rooms, sometimes on the way out too. It amused me because it was clearly such a routine she didn't even know she was doing it. Office was closed, no patients, etc. Just a reflex reaction. Kill dem germs.

Seconding that. Never again. space out the vaccination schedule.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Because vaccines
Which is honestly an even better reason than "because wine."
Ginger, I hope you feel better soon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My mom had polio. Because no vaccine.
