I got my flu shot this morning, and if y'all can manage it, you should get one too. Flu season is upon us. The less sick people roaming around spreading germs, the better

in a troop beverly hills-related situation, ive been listening to Jenny Lewis' new album "Acid Tongue" pretty much nonstop lately.

i hope your flu-like symptoms dissapear quickly.

[foresthouse]

Ha, cool.

Thanks. :)

I guess I'm just lucky, there. My flu shots never seem to bother me except for the momentary burn as the vaccine goes in. Once in a while, maybe a little elevation in temperature. Rarely enough to notice.

OTOH, free? No such luck. It's usually a supermarket or drug store for me.

Incidentally, I learned that a year or two back, Maryland quietly authorized pharmacists to give injections. Don't know if that was a homeland security consideration, or just part of the Bird Flu scare. But it seems like a good idea.

Mine usually go away by the next day. :)

Thanks for reminding me. Luckily I have no side-effects and it seems to have prevented me from getting flu for as long as I've had them (at least a decade).

[foresthouse]

No prob! That's good. My side effects usually only last a day, so it's not too bad.

I don't get the flu symptoms from the shot.

Normally. Ours are coming early Nov. I'll let you know if I get symptoms.

[foresthouse]

Hopefully you won't! :)

Generally I'd say that autumn and winter are my favourite seasons.. except that I never quite seem to make it through them without getting sick, it's weird but flu shots don't seem to work for me at all, so I tend to be quite paranoid about germs and the likes.

Oh, and Lois and Clark was so awesome in a 'it's so bad it's good'-kind of way. I used to love it, no one here ever quite understood why. *g*

I hope you'll feel better soon. );

[foresthouse]

Yeah, I tend to catch flus and things. But the shot seems to work pretty well.

Oh, I unashamedly love Lois and Clark. I mean, for one, it's got Dean Cain. But also some of the eps were actually quite good. (And some were abysmally bad, but whatever.)
