I think I have the flu right now. It feels like a cold, no biggie. My kids had it first (missed a few days of school) and seemed to have a much harder time than I did. I started feeling it on Friday. For me, no chills or fever or anything especially problematic. The main thing I notice is the coughing, and I feel a little run down. I've been going about my normal business, and I'm planning on playing my match tomorrow night. I'm...

My father is a physician and he gave me a very detailed one page table of the differences between the common cold, seasonal flu and H1N1. One of these days I'll get around to scanning it and posting it on the web.

Was at my PCP's office yesterday, and they had a lot of info posted regarding the flu. Might post some of it up later if I feel like typing a lot. Me...I'm hoping they'd come up with a freakin' vaccine for sinus infections. __________________ “Integrity is telling myself the truth.

Letter from my kids' school: Foremost, I want to thank you for your cooperation this past week in regards to registration for the H1N1 Flu Vaccination Clinics. I realize the time frame for registration was very tight; however, you were timely in your response which is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, today at 12:15 PM I was contacted by the County Health Department informing me that both of our scheduled clinics for next week have been...
