whump made cookies and brought them over last night and there are only 2 left. Who will get them? How can we eat so many cookies? But we can.
Up to SF this morning for myth class, last minute library visit. I am so happy to be over this cold. I didn't get the horrible flu - just a cold thanks. Whew. O mighty flu shot, please work your magic and shield me from harm.
BTW I am familiar with the argument that taking too many antibiotics breeds antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, but lately I have heard people (readers? was it you?) saying things like "Of course I would never get a flu shot, just my bit in the struggle not to breed mutant super-flu viruses." [virii?] Isn't the flu evolving and mutating, ie genetic drift, all the time anyway? Why would a vaccine force it to mutate faster? I poked around in anti-vaccination pages to figure it out. Could find nothing but fears of mercury (jury still out) and ranting about big pharma.
