I hate it when people post just to post.....

swine flu is all over the TV's in NTX.

16 cases, 1 death - 2 major school districts closed (including fort worth), all sporting events (schools) suspended thru may 11th.

and just like TX with a snow storm predicted & you can't get bread or milk - right now you can't get any purell...guess i'm glad i'm sorta housebound.

my workplace loaded up on purell a year or so ago. i'm pretty anti-purell until now. i'm not being a freak about it but i'm trying to be vigilant with the hand washing (plus during allergy season, it's never good to put a pollen-laden finger up to my eye!!!)

It doesn't seem to me that the swine flu is as serious as all the constant attention it is getting. The media goes crazy sometimes.[/QUOTE]

Heather - that was the understatement of the day!!!

My friend just called me and said she was considering not taking her daughter to the dance studio for pictures today because of the flu. Then yelled at me for saying she was overreacting. Ummmm, she is not shopping at the stores until late at night and wanted to go buy some masks today. She is refusing to go to church because that is too many people in a small space. And wants to skip pictures because of the swine flu that has infected 2 people in our whole entire state? LOL

This is why I always say that people are cattle/followers and SO easily led. Just like you can be in a movie theatre with 4 other people and someone will come and sit right in front of you. Or the idjut that is content to follow behind you on the interstate. OK you caught up to me; time for you to fly and be freeeeeeee. What else? Oh, today's gripe - RUBBERNECKERS!!!!! Took me twice what it should've to get home tonight b/c some folks had an accident that was pulled over to the shoulder. We stopped dead on a major interstate so folks could look at the blue lights.

And plain, before you ask.....no, I'm not pms'ing!!!

No man, I agree with you. I HATE rubberneckers. I'm always thinking "if you want to see a MVA up close, follow meeeeee into work" (back when I was a young respiratory therapist working trauma).

Oh, and just FYI......anti bacterial gel doesn't always affect virals. Handwashing is best because it physically removes the viruses (?viri?). Think on that tidbit and sleep tight! Muah-ha-hahahaha!!!

Yay for more holiday time!!

I finish up my current little contract at the Processing Plant at the end of May and go back to the Underground Project (which previously finished in March) in June, so I took the opportunity to slip in another little holiday. I have a bunch of frequent flyer points (that I was going to use to fly to the USA with, but that ain't on the cards anymore), so the airfares are free - which means I can spend the money on a 4-5 star hotel in Broome instead! YAY!!

I just booked the flights and the room at the Bali Hai Resort on Cable Beach in Broome for June 2-7... paradise on earth I've gone for the smallest room option (Studio) but I think it will be more than adequate!!

Sunsets on Cable Beach are like no others in all the world... This sig comes from a photo taken in 1985 on Cable Beach:

We're going to hire a 4WD and go fishing, drive up the beach and find our own private spot for skinny dipping, do the camel rides at sunset... it's gonna be AWESOME!!!
