Flu season is lasting longer

Posted By: Happy MT Robin on 2009-03-21
In Reply to: Does anyone know if there is a virus going around or flu although I did - PAMT

I read an article recently, I think in TIme, that said that flu season was lasting longer and doctors were actually giving booster shots to their patients who had gotten flu shots at the beginning of the season.

For some items you could buy men's, they tend to be longer with longer sleeves. NM

it's not off season - there is no season anymore

It might not be in season for students who are in school currently but it's mighty busy here!  Traffic is deplorable as the snowbirds are here currently - from now until June hopefully *S*


We like BUSY in Central/South Florida *lol*


yep, getting longer and longer for me too...
annoying!!!
The wood will last longer if you
use containers inside of it. If you want to disguise the containers you can put something like spagnum moss over the dirt and let it cover the edges of the container(s).

Sounds like it is going to be neat. What kind of plants? Climbing vine?
Sorry I just do not get your point as I no longer am
buying anything for the dog in any kind of way. I said I paid for the surgery and would do that again, no problem. I hate to lose her friendship, really I do but at the same time I am not going to be used. I did what I could and now feel up to them to do the rest. As of the, hmmm, say 5 months I have not helped out in amy way so your post means???
I am not sure why they are no longer speaking
but in due to the fact that she has no contact wtih him, I don't think he should have stayed in the house once he found out she was there. She was visibly upset when she realized he was there and began crying. My phone then rang so I missed what she said to her other housemates. It just seems like this is not the place for this to be handled.
no longer close....
That is what I thought half would be fair. But I know she wouldn't pay it. Because I have learned how she is. I realize I should have gotten it back way before then but I just said you know I am sure she has it put up and I will get it back. I had no idea she shampooed her carpet that often. And no I will not be loaning her anything else. From now on IF I loan something out( she is an exception I won't be loaning her anything) saying you break it you replace it is a good idea. Let's them no if they can't or don't want to replace it then don't borrow it. I did say something to my husband's brother about it. My husband and her husband are twin brothers. He did not offer any money on it. And when I told him I needed to get half of what it cost he gave no answer. My husband says let it go and learn your lesson to never let them borrow again. But I still think it is only fair to have at least half my shampooer cost paid.
In my 20s, I like my hair a lot longer

If I could no longer take care of myself, that's

up already. usually wait a bit longer, but had the time.
It is artificial and I don't like it, but...well, don't have the time to shop for a real one and deal with the mess. busy this year, and alone, so who cares? No Christmas spirit this year.
I would tell them not to visit unannounced any longer.

Looking for cell phones you no longer need...

Hi!  My church is collecting cell phones as a fundraiser.  If you have an unused cell phone lying around that you would like to get rid of, please let me know!  Just let me know what the brand, model number, phone co used for and I will let you know if that is one that is on the list.  I will pay for the shipping to get it here!


Thanks a zillion!


Probably here on earth longer than you, but what I am talking about
is the fact that young females can have WITHOUT taking antibiotics. The post above me seems like it was set in concrete this was the problem and fabric softners. There are so many scare tactics here in the US and it just continues and everyone things the sky is falling, oh my!
Symantec (Norton) will no longer allow that

Years ago, we could do that - use one NA program on multiple computers - however-they changed that and they run scans all the time to see what's up and who's doing what.  They are truly my most favorite antivirus program (tho there are better ones that cost more *out there* - i.e., panda).  F-secure is also very good and I think is free or used to be free. 


But know now, that eventually Symantec will catch you..........

If you are no longer using credit cards......

i've had several credit cards throughout my time and all but four are paid off.  i don't plan on using the other credit cards ever.  they do show up on my credit report.  i would like to cancel the ones i don't use, but i've heard that it looks back on your credit report.  anyone else have info about this?  i think it's a better idea to cancel the cards you will never use again because of the identity theft going on.


 


Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure.  
My teenage son has longer hair.
He keeps it clean and neat (right now he kind of looks like David Cassidy back in the day). When he starts letting it hang in his eyes, off it comes.

With teenagers you do have to pick your battles. He says that in a few years, it's going to start falling out (he's probably right) so he wants to enjoy it while he can.
Just the once, been single again longer than I was married sm
I married a homophobic homosexual who molested children.
Diabetes, probably no longer than 5 years
I know very well what hypertension and diabetes both can do, had a husband who was dialysis just because of uncontrolled hypertension and eventually dying. She was not strong enough to question (oh, well, she could not have even known maybe what they were saying) the ESLs and yes, there are older folks out there who cannot understand the first thing that comes out of their mouths. Do you not know older people who take everything a physician says as gospel and would not dare "rock the boat" so to say? She has responsibility here, mostly hers, but not being able to understand. They might have told her she was on the verge of kidney failure and she could not comprehend what they were saying and just stuck it out with the same people.
Just not part of body that grows longer

You're so right! I recently moved, and no longer
receive the San Francisco news on TV. Instead, I get the Sacramento News, which I don't like. So instead of watching TV, lots of times I just pull up my favorite SF news channels online, and watch it at whatever time I want to. It's great! You get it when it's breaking, and you can pick the stories you're interested in, instead of waiting through all the sports stuff, just to have a few words about the story you tuned in to hear get thrown in at the very end of the broadcast.

HOW did we ever live without the internet?
For the first time, I am no longer watching Idol

That was the impact fee. It no longer exists. Some people even got it refunded.nm

She is DENSE, don't bother any longer. Like talking to a wall...

When my arms no longer reached the keyboard, I was suspicious.
I then lapsed into a coma and didn't wake up until there was a strange person with spiked orange hair in my kitchen, demanding the keys to my car. It was either a burglar or my child - I don't know. They've never come back with the car, but that's not proof of anything so I haven't filed a police report yet.
That's probably why it has now become the on-season
everyone seems to be going when it's cheaper!
N/T this season
I'm not sure if Carly will be a regular or not. I would imagine she'll be on at least a few more episodes. I felt so bad when Christian did the lipstick thing. Still loving Christian, but I definitely didn't like the things he did last week. He's just jealous of Sean or at least that's the way I see it. I did love the scenes with he and Wilbur though, so cute.
N/T Last Season
I guess the way it's supposed to work (I'm on a N/T board), there is a short season for 2009, and then there is another season in 2010, but I think there's supposed to be another huge gab in between seasons. You should go to You Tube and check out the previews and let me know what you think. Looks like a great year.


They may call it the off season,
Was there mid Nov and it was really busy. All fast track tickets gone by noon, didn't get on hardly any rides, waits were 2+ hours for each ride. It was kind of a disappointment for the kids. Had a decent time, but could have been much better. Didn't expect the crowds in Nov.
I thought it was the last season, but...

I saw somewhere on the internet that there might be 13 more episodes next season.  Crossing my fingers!


 


I think it's been a great season so far! (sm)
Although I never heard of many of the contestants this season, I sure am impressed. I think Helio, the Brazilian race car driver is the best of the men so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sabrina from the Cheetah Girls wins the whole thing.

The quality of dancing is so high this year it's unbelievable - the final weeks should be load of fun.

Wayne Newton seems like a nice guy and everything, but he just was 'way out of his league with the caliber of this year's competition. He probably could've hung on a bit longer in the original season, but this year it's just too tough.

I'm looking forward to the show tonight! I LOVE it!
'Tis the season....
it only gets crazier this time of year EVERY year until after the New Year and holiday returns are complete.
What (if any) charitable act for others do you do during this season?
Your turn ...
I think it happened at the end of last season
But don't take my word for it.
The Reason for the Season
T'was the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away,

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing,

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a " Holiday ".

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!



Actually, Jon said last season he did not want to do it anymore -
Jon clearly said this year that the stay at home dad thing was not for him, that he wanted and needed to go to work, and that he was tired of this life and the show -- but Kate is not and insists "the show must go on"...
The REAL reason for the season!...

Disney does consider Nov-Feb off season. Much cheaper. nm

This season certainly wasn't as good as the first 2.
I'll watch in the fall, but the show has a long way to go to make up for undoing the first 2 seasons.
I got season tickets and the reason was
I thought might miss Jennifer. All in orchestra and on Sundays. I had seen her previously in 2 other shows at the Fox. She is great! I called when I first saw and thought perhaps by the public sale went on may not get a ticket because DG so red hot at the theater. I paid $$$ but I have seat on the 2nd row! Talk about front row seats! I only have 1 that I will not attend, might sell on Craigs and that is Stomp. I would not care about seeing that and it came as package.
I agree. He will probably end up without a job come football season..sm
Seems like the new NFL commissioner is coming down hard on these players. Lots of them already suspended for up to 1/2 the season for drugs. Michael Vick should be without his NFL career or any endorsements. And with his millions I think his fine should be way more than the 350,000 they are talking! I think they should make him give some of those millions to the Humane Society and other highly recongnized animal programs.
They are already advertising for people to try out for season 4. nm
!
I didn't watch the first season so sm

I don't have anything to compare it to. That wedding was pretty awful. I guess you have to live in Las Vegas to "appreciate" a design like that.


I really thought Josh would make it at least until the final elimination. But the last two shows he really lost his "sparkle" - he looked tired and discouraged.


LinK- I think this season is going to be interesting (sm)
as much as I like Christian, he is making it very hard to do; he does such crappy things.  I wonder if Carly is going to be a regular.  Have you heard anything?
YES! Our perfect season is still untouched! :-)
I kinda liked the half-time show, though. Tom Petty is my man! :-)

I didn't get to watch the first half and from what I read below, I guess I didn't miss a whole lot. The second half was probably the best well-played football I've ever seen.
I post this every holiday season and will try SM

posting again.  Sigh. 


I have two stephchildren.  One is 30 and one is 25.  I actually love them like my own children.  Problem is gift giving.  Do you give gifts to adult stephchildren who do not give gifts to you?  If they were small children or teens, of course I would buy them gifts, but they are ADULTS!  Every year I post this same question and get same answers from people saying how much they LOVE buying hundreds of dollars worth of stuff for EVERYONE they know and that I shold get in the holiday spirit of buying.  I don't have hundreds of dollars to purchase gifts.  I have two grandchildren, 4 and 1-1/2, and have spent a combined $100 on their gifts.  I'm buying my daughter stuff from Victoria Secret and buying my SIL a book.  


Last year, stepdaughter gave me a regifted gift card from Starbucks and stepson gave me small bag of candy (smushed carton).  


They don't hate me, I promise you that, and I certainly don't hate them, but what do I buy them for Christmas, if anything?  I find buying gifts for adults silly.  And please, do not suggest handmade gifts.  I made that mistake years ago, when I made stepdaughter handmade mosaic tile box, with velvet interior.  She threw the thing out.  Is there some tactful way out? 


 


First snowfall of the season here in Northern NJ. Anyone else?
Woke up this morning to howling wind and snow covered grass and cars.  Now big wet flakes coming down.  I am not ready for this yet. 
Love N/T -- i heard this was to be the last season
Did you hear that, also?  I haven't seen any previews yet.  Can't wait!  Thanks for FYI.
