I haven't been blogging but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking. Be grateful that I haven't made you endure the crud my brain has been spewing. Prolly would have been interesting to see some of your comments tho!
I must however thank Leth for his kindness and sheer genius (I leave it to Mo to take him back down a peg or two)
I can breathe again!
Not as worried as I was before,

Piss me off because they are too closed minded to be open to new thoughts.

I am missing Ron, he is out of range of the internet for a few weeks, miss the banter.
I am mostly done xmas shopping $ wise but because of the one big gift there isn't going to be much to open. I am feeling the pressure to fill it out.
I am waiting anxiously for this big storm that is supposed to hit tonight but this morning standing at the bus stop the trace amount of snow was showing me what is to come and I am finding it depressing.
I have spent more time in Dr's offices waiting rooms in the past month than I care to think about. Things are going well, working themselves out.
Friday we will be getting our tree. Sounds simple enough but K1 and her best friend have been at odds for awhile. Seems getting the tree was a reason to patch things up. There will be a wake over and another helper.
I don't know what it is, usually this time of year I am bouncing off the walls with excitement but this year it just feels like work.
I really wish I could do more but circumstances as they are won't allow it.
I am not feeling bah humbug but I am feeling, I dont know, down I guess.
This too shall pass,
ju

I have been looking at them for a few weeks now and nothing seems to convey anything resembling the message I wish to send.
I have a package that I will be mailing tomorrow and asked the kids if they would like to include a card, note or drawing.
I was incredibly impressed by their creativity.



So, this year I am having both my kids design my Christmas cards.
Really looking forward to seeing what else they will come up with,

Confidence is quiet, it doesn't need to have attention called to it, people will be naturally drawn to it. Confidence is dignified, self assured, and never belittles. Confidence doesn't need reassurance but is given the respect it deserves.
Arrogance is loud and obnoxious. Arrogance demands attention. Arrogance is insecure and involves putting others down to achieve its own goals with no thoughts for others.
Confidence knows it deserves respect but has no need to ask for it. Arrogance demands it and rarely deserves it.
Confidence is independant, it needs no pillars to lean on.
Arrogance tries to convince others at the expense of everyone in its path.
Quiet,
ju

to my American friends. Enjoy your day.

You make no fucking sense.

"Mrs.Ohio Lullabies
They have been using the same vaccine in the UK for a few years now..there has been billionsss receive the vaccine.. I was leary in the beginning too but after talking to one of my docs, I was convinced...sorry Ju ...but I strongly recommend it..unless you have an egg allergy..honestly..if your not out and around people to much..dont bother..kay..done! lol"

First off H1N1 is a new virus, they have not been using it for years.
Second there are not billions of people in the UK. Over populated for such a small island perhaps but they have yet to rival China.
You can speak to your doctor all you want but I would suggest you find a new one, with perhaps some knowledge about what is going on in 2009.
My health care and that of my family is my decision, one I do not take lightly, nor do I make decisions without doing research.
I would give you the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps you are thinking of the seasonal flu but even there you have many "facts" wrong.
Walking away shaking my head,

My daughter and I have our appointments for out H1N1 shots this afternoon. I was determined to go and just get it over with until last night.
You might remember my daughter suffering anaphylaxis after eating kiwi a few years ago. Well, they are now reporting 100,000 doses of the vaccine have been recalled after anaphylactic reactions. The public health department is calling this a "minor" reaction and are saying the benefits of the vaccine out weigh the risks.
Excuse me??
"Anaphylactic shock is an explosive overreaction of the body's immune system to a triggering agent (allergen). It can be characterized by swelling, difficulty breathing, abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, circulatory collapse, coma and death."
Yes, I had my son immunized two weeks ago, he is in the high risk group and qualified early. The only side effect he suffered was a sore arm for several days and tiredness. Was I aware of this potential side effect at the time? NO or I wouldn't have done it.
Now that I am aware I refuse to subject my allergic child and myself to this vaccine until more results are in.
One member of my family was a guinea pig, I will not let that happen again.
Off to enjoy a sunny Friday,
ju
