    - I still am down on the iPad. I do have one use case in mind for it, but in general, it's not "for" me. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 08:09
    - Yeah, I don't know if the blowback was about the device or the name specifically. -- nm - volnelk Oct 23, 08:07

    - i will never understand the decision to turn it down, - The Andead Oct 23, 07:46 29
      - on average it works, but since it's just a best guess in any given year it may either be very effective, or nearly completely ineffective. - mafic Oct 23, 07:57 3
        
        oh, for sure. i just figure, it's free, it might help, why not? -- nm - The Andead Oct 23, 07:58
        
        it can also be partially effective. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:57 1
        
        yeah, I intended to indicate it could be the full spectrum, not just one or the other. that's not very clear in my post though. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:02
      - Clearly, he is afraid to. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 07:54 6

        apparently my brother is *terrified* of needles. i only found this out when we had to get flu shots to visit our father in the hospital - The Andead Oct 23, 07:56 3
        
        I *hate* them. I always have to look the other way. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 23, 08:10
        
        there's also a nasal spray for people with needle issues. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:59 1

      - I was ambivilant for awhile but 2 successive years of being miserable drove me to it. - Nekkid Crazy Mel - Standing Behind You Oct 23, 07:51 11

        when I got it a couple of eyars ago I was out of work for two weeks solid (actually banned from the Army base), and - loosilu Oct 23, 07:52 9
        
        I remember one of the bad years I had 2 bouts that lasted for 2+ wks each with another, less bout. Never again. -- nm - Nekkid Crazy Mel - Standing Behind You Oct 23, 07:54 8

        I was the first at Fort McNair to get a diagnosis ... they flipped out. There was an alert sent out to the whole base (plus Fort Myer). - loosilu Oct 23, 07:57 2

        i got a strain a few years ago (i want to say bird flu, you'd think i'd remember), i too remember being exhausted for a few weeks after i recovered. - The Andead Oct 23, 07:57 3
        
        bird flu is pretty much confined to Asia (and it's really bad). I think for you maybe swine flu (h1n1). -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 08:01 2
        
        yeah, maybe. it sucked whatever it was (and, i am sure i'd had a shot, so, i am well aware it;s not 100% effective from all flus) -- nm - The Andead Oct 23, 08:03 1
        
        yeah, that year the shot didn't cover it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 08:06
      - ambivalence, mostly. - znombie znufrii Oct 23, 07:49 5
        
        the real flu is rare. most people don't get it. but most people wouldn't have got polio or smallpox either. - The Andead Oct 23, 07:50 2
        
        a couple years ago when H1N1 was going around, it was un-rare. and some cases were pretty awful. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:51 1
        
        The way we reacted here to HINI was noteworthy... - Nekkid Crazy Mel - Standing Behind You Oct 23, 07:53
        
        one year you'll get it, and you'll see. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:50 1
        
        *shrug* - znombie znufrii Oct 23, 07:51
    - nasal spray! -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:46
  - Yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 23, 07:45
  - not yet. My doc is across town and the clinics are a pain to get to as well. - Nekkid Crazy Mel - Standing Behind You Oct 23, 07:45 3
    - I got mine at Target, and they are also being offered at Rite Aid, CVS, and most of our supermarkets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:45 2
      - that just doesn't seem right to me. - Nekkid Crazy Mel - Standing Behind You Oct 23, 07:46 1
        
        that's exactly what I did (but pretzels). :) Last year I got mine at Kroger in Kentucky. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:47

        she tells me that's basically how it sounds to her when I say her name. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 07:51
      - trust the Irishman. he knows. (and she tells me it's quite common in Ireland) -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 07:46 2
        
        Everyone knows a Grainne. Sure you can't even walk ten steps without bumping into one. -- nm - Loyola Oct 23, 07:50
        
        I like it much better knowing it's a real name. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:48
    - wiki agrees with you. I'd never heard it before. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 23, 07:41 2
      - And you call yourself Irish! -- nm - Roger More, in a box in the attic Oct 23, 08:08

Oh, hello December. You're early. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 07:31 8
- I just turned our thermostat down to 66. -- nm - David Oct 23, 08:07
- It's going to be near 80 tomorrow. I'm confused. -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 07:32 6
  - it feels like we live in Seattle the last 2 days. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 23, 07:34 2
    - We had a stretch that just recently ended of sun for more than 80 days in a row... - Old Antarctic Explorer Oct 23, 08:10
    - I don't think I've seen the sun in 8 days, but that's seems to be normal here from October through April. -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 07:36
