Tell us what's new!

I think Colin SHOULD get it. I'm just trying to figure out how to make him get it, ya know? It seems that age group is the most suscepitable

It does seem to be worse for the teens. I've heard pros and cons about the vaccine though. Makes me nervous. The only time Justin ever got the flu in his life - was the year I got him a flu shot

They may make college students get it if they anticipate flu outbreaks. I would especially recommend it for college kids that live in the dorm. We had 5,000 kids get the swine flu at one of the colleges here, no deaths or anything though. They are saying it is actually a mild strain that people are getting, just hits little kids the hardest I guess.

I am undecided now about getting the shot. I've had my regular flu shot.

Well that's what my Dr said about kids living in the dorm. And Colin lives in the dorm.

Sky, my DR said you do not need to worry about the H1N1 vaccine if you were born before 1970 and I certainly was.

Alrighty then, I guess I don't need one!!!

Good thing I was born in 1969 then

Well, my boys don't live in a dorm. Justin doesn't even have classes every day.

Yeah me too FC 1969 yep that's year I was born.

RAIN again! There are Flash flood warnings again. Goodness. Hard to believe we were in a drought for so long.

Yep - I bet Sky and HL were born in 1969 too!

We have had so much rain lately, and if it's not raining it is very gloomy and looks like rain. Saturday and Sunday was sun mixed with clouds and today we are back to super gloomy with on and off rain. We don't have sunshine in the forecast until Friday - and that is only party sunny. Real cool this week too - 40s and low 50s all the way until Sunday. Feels like late fall instead of early fall.

Hope you don't have any flooding problems Aerwin

Fancy that! I too was born in 1969! Good year!!

I hope no flooding for you Aerwin. I hate to say it, but I could use just a LITTLE rain here. Just a LITTLE for a brief period.

I'll try to send ours out your way!

I'm sure that once our rain does start?.........it won't stop for a while.

We need rain out here in So Cal! Do you think you could send some of it my way?

The forecast actually currently calls for rain out here the next two days. 50%-75% of the time though the rain is for inland and not coastal! Really bugs the crap out of me!

We need the rain but i hate when rain and heavy winds happen. It scares me and later this afternoon we are supposed to get both luckily i do not have to work today so i will not be out in it at all.

ETA: I also worry cause of all the fires there is word of flooding in the burn areas which is really not good!

I know winds scare me!
Well we have a clear day today and more rain Wed, Thu, Fri! Sheesh.

I love the wind, but it can be scary. When we have wind and rain, our ground gets so saturated that trees start coming down.

I love storms!!!! Just as long as I can be home inside watching them and I know my kids are somewhere safe! Justin and I love to look out the big foyer window and watch them!

So do I!!!!!!!!! It helps that we don't have any large trees on our lot to worry about hitting our house! I'd love to experience a storm at the ocean somewhere.

Oh I would love to watch a storm by the ocean!

The only thing that worries us about storms is if the power goes out and we have the sump pumps to worry about. Also, if we have days of rain we have to keep a sharp eye out on the basement. But a cool storm is always fun!

We have Huge pine trees. one all ready fell over and totally crushed our backyard carport. We had the one that fell removed and another one we have three others that have to be taken out. Our house is old from what my parents said it was built in the late 60's. The tree's have been here as long as the house so you can imagine how tall they are and how heavy they are. Oy!

Shannon

Lots of huge pine and maple and alder trees in our area, just not on our lot. Trees here get uprooted when the wind blows and the ground being so saturated in the fall and winter from the rain. It sounds like the whole west coast is having winds today!

Sky, I read today that there was some landslide in Washington and the side of a mountain is gone! There were pix on a news site I was on.

Yes, there was but it wasn't really a mountain, at least not what we consider a mountain.

It's weird because we have not had much rainfall and they're still trying to find the cause.

Angel if you think your house is old my house is ancient! It was built in the 1920's.

I like watching the storms too sometimes. It's neat.

This is for the Adam fans here. I don't know if any of you subscribe or if it's on the news stands yet, but Adam is in the November issue of InStyle that I just got today. Reese Witherspoon is on the cover.

Anyway, just to let you know, he's on the last page.

PS: Thanks for saying nice things about me, FC. I like you too.
