The photo has nothing to do with the discussion but shows some cute dogs we saw in Austria.

Thousands of people in the U.S. have become sick with the flu and an unusually large number of people have died from it.

I was asked today by another couple with a small child if I was going to vaccinate my kids against Swine Flu (H1N1). I automatically said, "NO". I think the media has hyped it. I have other friends (2 sets now) that had kids that...
