I know...I've never had the shot before and never had the flu. This winter I know I'm going to be traveling a lot and exposed to more people than ever, so I figured the shot may be worth a try. But dammit I am flat out sick right now. I was healthy when I got up yesterday morning, and healthy for five years or better prior to that, and within 12 hrs of the injection I was sick. Never again. If I get the flu going forward it will be because some filthy dreg sneezed on me- not because I paid a druggist to inject me with it.

I bought an 8gb microsd card for the gopro for 8 bucks.
I also got a flu shot yesterday morning and by last night I had textbook flu-like symptoms. Coincidence? I think not. Bastards. The symptoms you are experiencing is your body reacting to the dead virus in the vaccine. That's what is supposed to happen. It won't last because the virus is dead and can't reproduce. Your body is building its defense using the dead virus as the template. When the living flu virus infects you it will be able to fight back almost instantly, not allowing it to take hold.

Sounds like you are on the payroll, toting the company line. I don't get the flu shot. Place I worked at a couple years ago, all 5 people in my group got the flu shot at work, and 1 by 1 they all came down with the flu. I did not get the shot and was the only person not sick.

Sure, as long as you're able to drink absinthe all day.
No actually, there's a difference between that anise and star anise, which is from china. But when you can't drink your grip away, this works real well. Star anise plus Ginger? Even better.

Well, I don't have the full blown flu. As I said I've been very healthy lately so I guess the dead viruses were only able to give me a pretty bad headcold and cough. I haven't had one of those in years.
I'm not sure what the comment about salt water means and don't care what Meat meant because he never says anything of importance, anyway. But if it helps, Jerkules, I will be in Charleston/Savannah/Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater next week so I will give the salt water a shot then.

Never had a flu shot and have never really watched what I eat. Have had the flu maybe twice my entire life. Trust your immune system, nature designed it for a reason.

I spilled coffee on my laptop this morning. Seems to have killed 1/2 the keyboard. The screen has been busted since July. I found some one selling the same model on Ebay for 280 or best offer. Mouse button needs to be replaced, dvd player is beat and they are going to take out the hard drive before shipping. I offered 100, they countered w/ 170 and they excepted my next offer of 150. Screen is 200+, and the keyboard is 20-25 if I just bought the parts, so I'm happy with my Panzering. It has a power supply too, so I can leave one in the house and one in my shop. I hope the battery in it is good, but don't matter if it is beat.
Anyway, 150 bucks and the laptop will last me another 3-4 years hopefully.

Anyway, 150 bucks and the laptop will last me another 3-4 years hopefully. Maybe you could have put it in a sack of rice?! I had a camera last year that pretty much slipped from my hands in the 1st day fell into stockpot filled with water in the sink. I quickly took it out, even though the camera was 100% submerged in the water. About 3-4 weeks later I was about to send it to Canon for repairs, and the camera came alive just before I was about to pack it! I then sold it off on eBay to someone: I described the camera as barely new [just used it 1 time]. ![rotfl rotfl](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/rotfl.gif)

Eh. I took the keyboard out, blew the fuck out of it w/ compressed air, pulled off a couple keys to try and see any wet or anything. It is fucked up. Space bar randomly sticks w/o touching it, and it doesn't just space, it does a backslash.

Just sent $3.00 to some guy in Europe who likes Coca-Cola and is building an imaginary nation [$1.00 out of $3.00 is for the citizenship] Can we pay you to create Trannyland and go away? First we'll pay Tritone to create Homofrica and go there.

Well, I don't have the full blown flu. As I said I've been very healthy lately so I guess the dead viruses were only able to give me a pretty bad headcold and cough. I haven't had one of those in years.
I'm not sure what the comment about salt water means and don't care what Meat meant because he never says anything of importance, anyway. But if it helps, Jerkules, I will be in Charleston/Savannah/Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater next week so I will give the salt water a shot then. It has been a while since I bothered to check, and I'm at home now and on a couple of days off work, so I'm not about to bother to check now, but... Last time I actually cared enough to check, they (CDC) were no longer using the dead virus for immunizations. They have progressed in their techniques to the point that that is a bit old fashioned. As I understand it, they coordinate with public health agencies all around the world and track the strains of influenza that are the biggest culprits of what happens to be going around at the moment at different places on the globe. Apparently, the flu travels around in a relatively predictable pattern from country to country in a cyclical pattern mutating and changing as it travels and reproduces. This cyclical pattern has seemed to remain in place despite the advent and growth of jet travel in the modern age. Months before anybody is thinking about flu season in the U.S.A., researchers attempt to make their best guess on which strains of flu will strike and become the major players in illness and death. It is not a single strain that is identified nor is it ALL strains, but usually it is just a few of the several different ones that they are monitoring as the potential heavy hitters. Then, proteins that make up the outer layer of the body of the influenza viruses are identified as those antigens that will stimulate your immune system. The virus isn't used, the dead virus isn't used, parts of the virus aren't used, but the protein component of the part of a piece of the virus is manufactured chemically. They then combine together several of these proteins from several different strains that they guess (months in advance) are going to be the most likely culprits in this season's flu outbreak to create a cocktail of various proteins that will "stimulate" your immune system. Unlike psuedo scientists and new age twats who throw around the term "stimulate" your immune system and have NO CLUE what that means, it actually has a very precise meaning here, that I can go into in more detail if anybody is interested, but that would be a topic for another post. When these proteins are injected into your body, your immune system (again a somewhat vague term that we can define much more precisely for anybody who is interested--and since I doubt there are any here, I'll skip it) recognizes these proteins as foreign invaders and does several things to mobilize a protective army of cells. The initial reaction of your immune system is to set off an alarm that creates a generalized inflammatory response that is the culprit for the vague "flu-like" symptoms you feel. It isn't the flu causing it. It is your own body causing it. Those messengers flooding your bloodstream raising the alarm to your body are created by you and sort of wake up your resting army of protective soldiers and begins cranking up the industrial machinery of your body to start manufacturing several very specific agents. You make some antibodies who are just investigators snooping around every part of your body for any more of the invaders and specialized assassins who will lurk in the shadows waiting for the call from the investigators that an enemy has been spotted and will then spring into action and kill the invader. That initial alarm that goes off in your body and mobilizes your defenses is not harmful, and it does not mean you are sick, but it may make you feel bad. About 100 years ago it was discovered that some people notice this alarm phase much more than others do. Some don't notice it at all while others feel very bad from it. When you actually do get the flu or any other infectious disease, your body is going to go through that initial inflammatory reaction phase if you have a functioning immune system. It is not the illness, it is just a sign from your body that you have gotten sick and are starting to mount a defense. Also, if you have already been exposed to that enemy before, you will likely have a much less dramatic alarm phase, and those hunter-killer cells are already in your body on duty and ready to more efficiently kill the invader and prevent the REAL damage of getting sick. If that inflammatory phase of "flu-like symptoms" was the only bad thing about catching the flu, nobody would bother spending all those resources monitoring the flu and making vaccinations. It is the destruction and damage to your body by the living viral invaders tearing up tissue as they get inside your cells, take over the cell's own metabolic and reproductive machinery, and begin replicating until they burst out leaving behind destroyed tissue like so many cracked eggs. That is what actually kills people. I get the flu shot every year. I work around hundreds of people who get the flu shot every year. I have never gotten sick from a flu shot and I have never personally known anybody who has ever gotten sick from a flu shot, but I have heard from many people I don't know that they did "get sick". Since I understand that some people have a dramatically different experience and can feel very bad, I don't doubt that it happens. I don't really get the flu shot to avoid getting sick from the flu, I'm pretty healthy and am constantly exposed to many infectious agents--least concerning of which is influenza. I get the flu shot so that I don't carry the flu and give it to somebody else who may not be so healthy and may not have a functioning immune system and may die if I expose them to the flu. And I know that if I limit the length of time that I am a carrier of the flu if I ever do get exposed to it, I will be minimizing the impact of the flu on a community wide scale. It has been estimated that the flu has killed more people than all the wars and all other global pandemic diseases. I can't believe I spent time on my day off writing this.

As I understand it, they coordinate with public health agencies all around the world and track the strains of influenza that are the biggest culprits of what happens to be going around at the moment at different places on the globe. Apparently, the flu travels around in a relatively predictable pattern from country to country in a cyclical pattern mutating and changing as it travels and reproduces. This cyclical pattern has seemed to remain in place despite the advent and growth of jet travel in the modern age. Months before anybody is thinking about flu season in the U.S.A., researchers attempt to make their best guess on which strains of flu will strike and become the major players in illness and death. It is not a single strain that is identified nor is it ALL strains, but usually it is just a few of the several different ones that they are monitoring as the potential heavy hitters. Then, proteins that make up the outer layer of the body of the influenza viruses are identified as those antigens that will stimulate your immune system. The virus isn't used, the dead virus isn't used, parts of the virus aren't used, but the protein component of the part of a piece of the virus is manufactured chemically. They then combine together several of these proteins from several different strains that they guess (months in advance) are going to be the most likely culprits in this season's flu outbreak to create a cocktail of various proteins that will "stimulate" your immune system. Unlike psuedo scientists and new age twats who throw around the term "stimulate" your immune system and have NO CLUE what that means, it actually has a very precise meaning here, that I can go into in more detail if anybody is interested, but that would be a topic for another post. When these proteins are injected into your body, your immune system (again a somewhat vague term that we can define much more precisely for anybody who is interested--and since I doubt there are any here, I'll skip it) recognizes these proteins as foreign invaders and does several things to mobilize a protective army of cells. The initial reaction of your immune system is to set off an alarm that creates a generalized inflammatory response that is the culprit for the vague "flu-like" symptoms you feel. It isn't the flu causing it. It is your own body causing it. Those messengers flooding your bloodstream raising the alarm to your body are created by you and sort of wake up your resting army of protective soldiers and begins cranking up the industrial machinery of your body to start manufacturing several very specific agents. You make some antibodies who are just investigators snooping around every part of your body for any more of the invaders and specialized assassins who will lurk in the shadows waiting for the call from the investigators that an enemy has been spotted and will then spring into action and kill the invader. That initial alarm that goes off in your body and mobilizes your defenses is not harmful, and it does not mean you are sick, but it may make you feel bad. About 100 years ago it was discovered that some people notice this alarm phase much more than others do. Some don't notice it at all while others feel very bad from it. When you actually do get the flu or any other infectious disease, your body is going to go through that initial inflammatory reaction phase if you have a functioning immune system. It is not the illness, it is just a sign from your body that you have gotten sick and are starting to mount a defense. Also, if you have already been exposed to that enemy before, you will likely have a much less dramatic alarm phase, and those hunter-killer cells are already in your body on duty and ready to more efficiently kill the invader and prevent the REAL damage of getting sick. If that inflammatory phase of "flu-like symptoms" was the only bad thing about catching the flu, nobody would bother spending all those resources monitoring the flu and making vaccinations. It is the destruction and damage to your body by the living viral invaders tearing up tissue as they get inside your cells, take over the cell's own metabolic and reproductive machinery, and begin replicating until they burst out leaving behind destroyed tissue like so many cracked eggs. That is what actually kills people. I get the flu shot every year. I work around hundreds of people who get the flu shot every year. I have never gotten sick from a flu shot and I have never personally known anybody who has ever gotten sick from a flu shot, but I have heard from many people I don't know that they did "get sick". Since I understand that some people have a dramatically different experience and can feel very bad, I don't doubt that it happens. I don't really get the flu shot to avoid getting sick from the flu, I'm pretty healthy and am constantly exposed to many infectious agents--least concerning of which is influenza. I get the flu shot so that I don't carry the flu and give it to somebody else who may not be so healthy and may not have a functioning immune system and may die if I expose them to the flu. And I know that if I limit the length of time that I am a carrier of the flu if I ever do get exposed to it, I will be minimizing the impact of the flu on a community wide scale. It has been estimated that the flu has killed more people than all the wars and all other global pandemic diseases. I can't believe I spent time on my day off writing this. ![](http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/198/460/iwkoqt.gif)

Gen Padova I'd pay you $4 an hour to eat my shit while doing my taxes.
J/K I think you're nifty. I remember some board from years ago where people where calling you a hook nose (wicked witch of the west I think was the common insult) and I think it was that dumb cunt Ashley Blue who was making fun of you for NOT being a junkie and not being wasted during scenes or some dumb shit like that. (she seems a lot nicer these days)...was that this same board or another one?

Holy shit. This chick had two strokes? That's harsh. How the fuck do you have a stroke at 32? (I'm guessing drugs)

(she seems a lot nicer these days)...was that this same board or another one? It was probably here. It's all in good fun. She and I are on good terms, talk once in a while. And we've always been friendly with each other on set. The negative drama definitely works to get people's attention. ![wink wink](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) Holy shit. This chick had two strokes? That's harsh. How the fuck do you have a stroke at 32? (I'm guessing drugs) Because I'm sure it's more fun to believe it was drugs then suit yourself. LOL But no, it wasn't. While fat America suffers with high cholesterol, high blood pressure etc. I'm the complete opposite. Extremely low cholesterol levels, weak artery walls, yadda yadda even the slightest lift of blood pressure in my case caused a burst (hemorrhagic). It's affected both sides of the family both mini and minor cases. Come to find recently, malabsorption of certain fats during assimilation, not enough enzyme production and liver doesn't produce sufficient enough hormone (cholesterol). Easy fix as I'm taking lipase (enzyme), etc. and slightly increasing my dietary habits a bit outside the box of the usual Mediterranean diet I was raised on for now. I'm almost perfectly fine now with the exception of a few mess ups and frustrations that usually myself or someone close can notice. It's been exactly 11 months. While most people struggle to learn what moderation is, I've learned that my lesson here is to not be such a stickler to myself. In that case: Katherine Hall Cabernet 2009 - $110 to celebrate 54.43 acres - $86,500 (originally 99.9k, original owner passed away, daughter wants nothing to do with it, listed dirt cheap than what it should have been. SCORED big time with mineral rights!) Oreos - $1.99 to help clog my arteries Sterling Vinyards Sauv. Blanc 2011 - $12.99 A big bucket of red & yellow delicious apples $5.00
