Now, now, EHarold, this is the ''religion'' area of this site: You shouldn't rain on the true believers' parade.

You might have had 'the flu', but there is no telling what specific kind - and it doesn't matter anyway - the flu is the flu. The only thing that makes ''swine flu'' any worse from the flu that goes around every year, is that few have immunity to the ''swine flu'', since it's new.  Oops, seems I have to update my post:  It seems that the ...

This 'swine flu' uproar is just another excuse for the news media to 'sell newspapers', and for the Gov. to attempt to justify their existence. This JUST THE FLU !! This isn't the PLAGUE.

Good luck, Grandma! To use the roundabout, you need to know how to use it, (and it's different from EVERY direction), you ...
