Let's just start out by saying I had a terrible Thanksgiving...I had the FLU of all things, so I got no turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing, or anything. :(

The Flu season is here. Have ynze had your flu shots yet? Your kids? Do you have it or have had it? I now have a cold. Bleh...I'm always sick... :ZZZZZ2:

No flu here yet. I have to take my kids to get thier shots.

I can't get the flu shot myself as I am allergic to a preservative in it called Thimersol. I tired a contact lens solution years ago that had that in it and my eyes got all swollen and red.

I never get the flu shot. But then again, I never really needed it.

I never get the flu injection, I just catch the flue, get a week off work, moan and complain for a week, then all is well again. :lol:

I rarely get sick so I don't get the shot.

Not me. My immune system is the biological equivalent of a fully armed special forces squad...complete with automatic weapons and laser scopes for night vision. And we have recently aquired smart and cluster bombs. If ANY unlucky germ sneaks in, it is immediately eradicated on site. No questions asked, no Geneva Convention, no interrogation. Every now and then, a large group of insurgent germs get in to try to wage jihad on my body, and I may get sick for a day or two, but after the fiercest counter attack on their position, they are destroyed, and sweated out of my body as waste. After each unsuccessful attack, my immune system gets even stronger, so invasion attempts are less frequent. The last time I was sick was September, and that was the first time in several years.

We had our flu shots back in the beginning of October.

Got mine last month. The company I work for sponsored them so "free" was acceptable.

I honestly can't remember the last time I've had a flu shot. But hey at least I shouldn't get it again.

Although at the moment I do have thin blood...

Get a flu shot every autumn.

I haven't really ever gotten one. Question: who is most likely to get it?

I don't think I have ever gotten a flu shot. I also haven't had the flu since I was a kid.

I have had other minor sniffles and colds. Usually about once a year. Drastic weather changes will do a number on my sinuses.

I have a head cold thing going on right now. I just took some Nyquil. I'll be good to go for the rest of the evening....good to go sleep that is. :lol:
