Why can't he say that ...

Joe Biden said on the today show That he told his family not to fly because of the Flu now lots of people are in a uproar over it .. That really bugs me in this land of Free Speech the Vice President has to be told what he really meant to say ..... I agree with him, because I see sick people out and about all the time, you can't just trust the sick people to stay home ... To me its not much different then when people were told to just stay in the twin towers yeah we seen how that all worked out ...
The links Uproar Link Here Not that I think that all hell is breaking out but come on why can he not have reservations about it..

and while the newer jets air quality is better these days read to the bottom here and you will see the older ones do not have as good of air quality,Do you ask for only flights on a newer Jet?
and I just wonder, how is the air in a subway ???

First Probable Oregon case

Just read this
Oregon Flu

another Flu website

Looking at the CDC website this am and there does not seem to be many more cases here is a screen shot of the list from this morning



and here is a link for a page with a interactive map MAP

Red Cross

I may wonder out today and buy supplies I was reading the CDC site and it say's this

Develop a family emergency plan as a precaution. This should include storing a supply of food, medicines, facemasks, alcohol-based hand rubs and other essential supplies.

So it would be better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it and be too worried to go out and get it.......

I guess I worry extra because Rylan is little and I have been trained to worry about bugs with Mindi first and then with Rylan.... I must say though I worry about Andrew now, I am not so sure he is made to wash his hands there as much as he was here, and the other boys are still in school so they could bring it home... I think I will call him today and tell him I want him to wash his hands alot ...Mindi is already a hand washer thanks to me :-)
Before you all think I am a nutso remember this blog is something I am saving for my kids and future grandchildren and am pretty much putting down my thoughts of this whole flu thing for them, so they can think I am nutso :-)

One more thing to think about ok TWO more things, our wal-mart is right off the freeway that goes straight from Mexico to Canada so we won't be getting any of our supplies there and also think about your mail and how many dirty little hands have touched it before it has arrived at your home ...I ALWAYS wash my hands after handling the mail....
Its a time like this that I miss having live TV ughh...

This Swine flu...

This swine flu is making me nervous... I am a germaphobic anyways and this is very scary....... I don't want to leave the house and am thinking of stockpiling some milk and bread so I don't have to... we have everything else, wait except chocolate so I need to get some of that to ...the bad thing is that since Randy still has to leave the house and go to work everyday and we are still exposed just like everyone else that has to work I can't imagine how scary it would be to live in Mexico city or new york city where the virus already is... I am going to pick him up some hand sanitizer because my red wipes won't work against the flu.... I guess even though he has to work it would still be good to stock up in case it comes here and his work shuts down for a while, then we really wouldn't have to leave the house and expose ourselves to more that we have to ..I have a appointment to finish getting my teeth cleaned today I am still going to in but may cancel my appointment for a small filling I need next week until this swine thing blows over....I am also getting my new crown May 12 I really hate to cancel that appointment so will have to play it by ear...Randy was reading last nigh that the 1918 flu that is like this one would kill a person in ONE day you would wake up feeling sick and then die the same day how scary is that 1918 flu wbesite

CDC website for info on the swine flu

I just came across this info stating that it was bacteria that cause the deaths in 1918

In any case wash wash wash those hands and keep them away from your face !!!!


The weather here has been a little cooler here the past few days... I was in the office scanning pictures and thought hmmm Rylan is being awfully quiet... so I went to find him, turns out he wanted to go outside and play on the deck and was getting himself dressed so he wouldn't get cold ... I had to let him go out for a minute after all that work LOL...




Reminds me of the time when Andrew was little and wanted to go outside when it was really cold he put on my snow boots and off he went...I think he had a shirt and diaper though LOL ...
