Have all of you avoided getting it?
They have closed several schools around here because of a bad flu outbreak.
My sis brought her kids a few days ago and the oldest had come home from school def showing signs of getting it. Poor kid has been sick for days now. I used a lot of lysol spray while they were here :o
She has missed three days of school now but is finally getting a bit better.
So far Jon and I have not gotten it and I would like to keep it that way. Between that and a stomach bug going around it has been bad here. Last time Jon was at PT the employees were talking about how the stomach flu had gone through every one of them. As soon as Jon and I got in the car I used to antibacterial hand wash and then we washed up good when we got home.
Jon has the worst habit of smoothing out his moustache all the time when we are out. Not a good habit during flu season.

Here there are several whacko strains of various things going 'round. Many at work have been out w/ bronchitis- 1 even w/ pneumonia. I fibbed last weekend and told a friend I was sick to get out of attending a thingie with a couple I do not like. I shouldn't have told that fib, cuz the next weekend, sure-enuf, I took sick! Was down for 2 full days/nights and was finally saved by chugging nearly 2 full bottles of Nyquil. Had a severe conjestion issue, headache and constant deep cough- but luckily no stomach or fever issues, this time! Hopefully now I'm all healed and DONE w/ illness for one winter!

My husband just got over a bout of something and several at my work have been sick. Luckily I missed it this time around. Well so far.

Janie I sure hope neither you or Jon get it! The flu shot helps, I suggest going ahead and getting it if you can!

I got a flu shot one time years back and it worked. I had the worst case of flu I ever had in my life. Never got another one. We've had a couple strains of it running around here this winter, both laid people out for a week if they got either one. A neighbor got over one and got the other 2 weeks later. Poor gal was miserable. My wife and I have managed to avoid getting either one and actually haven't had any flu for several years.
