cabensonToday is October 1st...the first day of what we virology folk call Respiratory Season. Every year we start a pool in my department to determine which type of flu will be prevalent, when it will hit, and how long it will last. This year, I am going with the underdog, Influenza B. For those that are wondering, Influenza A is more of a respiratory illness, while Influenza B throws in a little gastrointestinal distress. There are also four different Para-Influenza strains...one of which I am currently recovering from.
I predict the flu will hit big the 2nd week of January and it will last until early May.
IF YOU CAN GET A FLU SHOT...GET ONE!! True...they don't cover every strain (see last year's flu season) and it's true you can still get the flu...but it will be much less severe. I speak from personal experience. But if you want to stay in the Harem...get a shot.Protect yourself, protect others.

Monday, Oct. 4 is Mrs CB's. birthday. She will be...very old (craddle robber). When I asked her what she wanted, this is the convo that followed:
Mrs CB: I don't know.
Me: What about those Millennium DVD's I've you've mentioned?
Mrs. CB: No...I want a silver chain.
Me: A chain.
Mrs CB: Yep...a chain.
Me: :disappointed sigh: Okay...a chain. What linkage?
Mrs CB: Huh?
Me:What linkage? You DO want it for your big butch-wannabe wallet, right?
::head-swat::
Me: OH!!!! You want it as jewelry...my bad.
Mrs. CB: That would be correct.
Me: Sure you wouldn't rather have those DVD's?
So...I got her a beautiful silver chain...WITH a matching bracelet and earrings...she is such a girly-girl sometimes.
I also gotmyself her the Millennium DVD's...

Date: 2004-10-01 10:03 am (UTC)As for the flu shot - I've never had one. :*( But I never ever get sick, I didn't miss a day of middle or high school due to illness...Influenza B sounds gross, though. "Gastrointestinal distress" - :shudder: Maybe I'll get a shot, I want to be in the harem.
