Yesterday after work I was getting some spare ribs (tomorrows cook) at the little Mexican Market behind my work and the owner was telling me he can't keep the cold and flu medicine on the shelves right now....seems like everybody is sick these days......

New shiny grill grates. Hang in there Smoke. Has to end eventually.

Just curious......did you get a flu shot?

[smokeasaurus]

No, my neighbor years ago got a bad flu shot and got guyon barre syndrome from it. He lost all of his muscles and was in a motorized wheelchair the rest of his life..he died two years ago....I will never ever get a flu shot...............

Those dogs look pretty good Smoke. I am a locksmith for 30 schools, I have to work on dirty door handles daily. I go through antibacterial wipes and latex gloves like nobodies business. I got the flu about 6 years ago and ended up in the hospital for a week with kidney failure so drink your fluids mister

Buddy, this is one stubborn Flu. Mine's been hanging on for two weeks now, so take care of yourself!

That was why I asked. I will never get one either. Doctor tried to brow beat me into one. Had to get in his grill a bit......you're the doctor but I am still in charge.

[smokeasaurus]

I think we should have Dr. Sparky make us all up a big batch of his flu concoction

I am a consultant in the cleaning industry. Hand washing is one of the most important and most neglected things we can do to prevent the spread of diseases like the flu. New strains are resistant to the alcohol based hand sanitizers. Hand washing with soap and water for 30 seconds and drying with paper towels is important. The abrasive action of the towel is important - hand dryers do NOT have the same impact. With our overuse of antibacterials and antimicrobials we have "created" bugs that are very resistant. Good old fashioned hand washing - simply REMOVING the bugs vs. trying to kill them is still the best approach to staying healthy and preventing transmission of the bugs.

Ok - off the soap box....

Great validation. My kids have never had any of the anti-bacterial stuff from day one. Healthiest kids in the hood. Many of the neighbors are a Petri dish of sickness.

Yup - mine too. They wish they could miss school - but they are ready to go every day!

Dr. Sparky's flu concoction = 1 oz whiskey, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 teas honey and hot water.  cough, cough,    i think i might have the flu.  i should probably have one myself. 

i get a flu shot every year.  i'm the only one in the family that does.   

[Kora Smoker]

Doesn't get any simpler than that. I just put some mustard, relish, and onions.
