Went to get my Flu shot today and had a Tea Bigot behind me spouting off about how much he hates Obama, etc., etc.  I turned around, looked him square in the face, and told him:  "BTW, I am also BIRACIAL like my cousin Barack Obama.  Are YOU calling ME those names too?!?"  He dialed it back REAL FAST!!!!!!

I CAN'T STAND RACISTS!!!!!!!

Here's wishing you a better day, Bones....
(smart of you to get that flu shot--thanks for the reminder!)

I'm thinking about the shingles vaccine too. One thing I don't understand is that the commercials talk about anyone "who's had chicken pox has the shingles virus in their bodies already' -- well, I do understand it biologically -- but I DON'T understand whether that means only if you had the pox as a child, are you vulnerable to shingles.

Problem #2 is, I don't remember whether or not I had the pox (I know what it looks like and would've felt like, but dunno if that's memory or imagination)....and have no records from that long ago.

Do you know, Bones?

xo,
Hops

I remember having the chicken pox when I was about five years old because I was COVERED and it ITCHED BAD!!!!  I've been hearing that as I get older, the virus that is still in my system, might decide to pay me another visit.  My current physician has not brought up the subject yet so I may have to be the one to broach it.  I've known friends, both older and younger, who have dealt with an outbreak of shingles and they were MISERABLE!!!!!  On the other hand, the Shingles Vaccine doesn't really guarantee anything, which is why I need to discuss this with the doctor at the next visit.

Regarding Letter #2, I have a LOT of mixed feelings about it!  It would also depend on the age of the child in question and if the child is old enough to understand the restrictions and why.

For example, I'm one of several co-hosts for a Community Pool Party where ALL the residents are invited.  The price for admission is bringing a dish to serve to others a.k.a. Potluck.  The food table is set up buffet style and everyone serves themselves.  I'm on grill duty as no one else wants to deal with it.  (It's "too messy".)  I don't mind cooking on the grill as I often did the cooking while participating in group camping trips.  (The others found it "too messy".  Their loss...I find that cooking over an open fire is FUN!)  I'm focusing on cooking hot dogs and hamburgers...sometimes to individual orders...i.e. "well-done" to "rare" to "cheeseburgers".  Because I'm dealing with open flames, my focus has to be on what I'm DOING with the grill...NOT on policing other people's children.  I am NOT the unpaid babysitter! 

There is one family who invariably sends their YOUNG children to the Pool Party WITHOUT adult supervision.  One of those kids has chronic health issues and is really TOO YOUNG to be at ANY party without adult supervision FROM HIS FAMILY.  If the kid grabs something off the buffet table, eats it, then gets sick....DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!  I am NOT the INVOLUNTARY, UNPAID BABYSITTER!
