2. Had it back in late Sept.
Wanted to curl up and die. Now, I am just plodding along, washing my hands a lot (hubby is sick with a cold) and using zinc spray up my nose to kill rhinoviruses.

12. If I do get the flu
it is when the flu season is over and no one else is sick, like in the middle of summer.

3. Like clockwork, I get it every six years
1989, 1995, 2001, so I am due in 2007. If I do not get it until 2007, I may contact a medical researcher to let him know that I may be a case for study.

4. I don't think I've had the flu
but I had the worst cold I've had in my entire life this year. I actually broke a rib from coughing so much.

5. Whoops... I voted yes when I meant no.
No, I haven't had the flu this winter. I was able to get a flu shot back in October or November. The school my husband works for got some flu shots for the teachers and their families.

6. my friend who had the flu is a hypochondriac
WHat she passed on to me was more like a bad cold. It's already gone. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

7. I'm just getting over it.
Still have no energy & a cough that would rattle windows. Just one more thing to thank ** for.

8. Hadn't had it in years, but thanks to my moron president,
and his "just don't get a flu shot this year" solution, I was a wreck for a month. That jackass.

14. No, but it's all around me
I rarely have the heat on also. I guess I'm used to the cold.

15. I refuse to have the flu
I had it once, when I was 8. and I have not been ill since I had cancer-I think I had all my sick at once.
