My best friend is so freaked out about swine flu. I mean she is prone to a touch hypocondrism anyhow and now she is driving me mad. Finally last night I told her it was going to be the end of humanity. Poor girl nearly had a panic attack at the store when someone sneezed near her. It's funny but it's not. And maybe it is because I am not a germaphobe that I really just don't care? I am considering putting together a swine flu care package for her complete with masks and gloves and maybe some Spam. Just because I love the girl but have to be snarky about it.

Uggh could someone please tell me why they let surgical centers post advertisements on the threads? Why don't they respond when I send a mod alert?! How do I get it removed it's annoying. To me it could fall under the paid to post.

Okay, I admit it: I guess I need to read up more about the swine flu to see what the heck all the panic is about. On average, 32,000 people a year die of the regular flu, and so far we are talking less than what, 50 people? What is so different about this strain?

I stay clear of the crappy news like that... I think theres some ridiculous low # of people in the US that have even been hospitalized for it... far less than the average flu victim per year.

It's not worth my time to read it.

Maybe that's a good way to handle it, Brandy.

I dunno, is it just me or does there seem to always be some sort of "crisis" these days?

Theres always something...

I am having my own crisis atm lol. I want to know if the freaking MODS even respond to MOD alerts or if they remove advertising posts?

It's a slow news week?

Well Brandy, there are several mods--I am one.

BUT I am not real active, I am not well versed on what is and what is not allowed as far as the advertising, and those usually get sent on to at least Susan to look into.

They have mods who are extremely computer savvy, and tend to do that sort of thing, and then others more like myself who hang around to welcome new members and answer the ever present questions.....what is PB? Why can't I eat this anymore.....etc.

I am sure in a perfect world, Alex would like us all to do all of the above.....but I usually send them on to Susan....or at least discuss it with the other mods before removing anything.

Prior to going back to work, I was on several times per day and was much more active, but now, I get a few minutes a day is all.

I will go now and look for the reported post!

[Kat817 19]

It should now be in an advertising forum, that Alex just created to deal with this sort of thing. The report was not being ignored, it was just taking some time to get the changes made to the site to allow the new forum.
