Swine flu sounds scarier than regular flu, doesn't it? Still, I really see Candy's point. Thousands of people die of the regular flu every year, and we don't have regular flu maps on t.v. and schools shutting down. <br />Candy, how do you get bread and butter from the media. I am curious. Should I have put you down on my facebook 5 famous people I know. I thought you were a nurse. You'll be glad to know that I am very selective about whom I swap spit with.<br />Annie, are you really headed for Mexico now? Have fun! I feel silly telling you to be careful, when we have nine suspected cases here in Chicago now. Here I was yesterday praying real hard for Marni, Katdish, and Steph, and I forgot to add "Please keep it out of Illinois, thank you."

Why is this any big deal? And why is all the hand sanitizer gone now and it wasn't before? Do people have to get scared into washing their hands? People blame the media - I can't because that's my bread and butter, and besides, they are just the messenger for all those press releases. Ugh. Just wash your hands and don't swap spit with a Mexican pig right now.<br /><br />And Helen, way cool phone.
