Round one hospitalized me. Cost me out the ass. Round two could do me in, so no thank you.

so I'm curious....did you get a flu shot this year? I know it isn't a full proof preventative, but just wondering. my wife nagged me into getting one. taking a multi vitamin and a vitamin C every day. I get sick if someone looks at me the wrong way....but so far so good!

My wife is halfway around the world and has a chest infection, probably more miserable in her 70 degree climate than she would here in the 30's.

I couldn't even go in the sneeze/sharting thread. I like this one better.

coincidence? maybe.

Slam down at least a quart of grape juice, lay flat on your back and pee as much as you can (yeah, you have to get up for this part). Something in the grapes is a killer antioxidant. Laying flat helps get the juice into your kidneys and pissing flushes the germs out.

Exercise, wash your hands regularly, and eat right and your chances of avoiding the flu are pretty comparable. |

For those who do, you are talking about a few measley little bucks. The flu is such a terrible inconvenience, its worth it.

I've never had a flu shot. I'm not sure why I haven't taken the time to do it, other than I generally don't get sick.

So really, getting flu shots may only prevent the flu once a decade or so. Since the flu shot is so cheap, and the flu is so awful (the real flu, not a cold, a lot of people get a cold and think "the flu isn't so bad"), its still worth it. Just because you don't get sick often doesn't mean you have some magical super-protection against the flu, unless your immune system is shot, you aren't supposed to get sick very often.
