But it still protects better than nothing. I have had flu shots since the late 1980's and not gotten the flu. I will keep getting them.

One of my Library School friends always read her papers backwards...end to start...as she had to really concentrate and saw all the errors. This was, of course, before word processing software that does all that kind of checking for you.

Finally...someone who thinks like me! I could not believe that any parent would want to subject their kids to The Elf on the Shelf! It is Gilead..."Under His Eye"

I simply do not understand any parent who would refuse to vaccinate their kids, subjecting them to these diseases as well as subjecting infants who aren't yet eligible for vaccines and other vulnerable people (cancer patients, etc) to their negligence. I do believe it is negligence and child abuse!

I remember when my husband and both kids got chickenpox. No vaccines yet for that. My husband was terribly sick! I remember getting the Asian flu in the 1950's when nearly everyone in my Gr 5 class was absent with it. And other flu bouts subsequently. Then the miracle of vaccines.

I was born when the only vaccine available was smallpox. I got measles, mumps, chickenpox & flu. I remember not being allowed to go in public pools or to ponds to swim because of polio scares. It was great when the polio vaccine came out! And I happily gave my kids MMR and Polio vaccines.

It is still pretty good but not as good as it was before Sobey’s took over.

I have bought porcetta from the Thrifty Foods deli counter (like sliced ham but way better) and from Ottavio's (a wonderful deli/cafe). Neither are too salty. I think if I wanted a porcetta roast I would just do it myself.

As long as you meet the requirements for contributions you are entitled. There are many people who collect Social Security benefits because they worked in the US but never got citizenship..some of these people no longer live in the US.

Are you sure about this? My husband and I relinquished our US citizenship years ago and we still collect the small Social Security benefits we are entitled to.

Opportunity for Democrats to assist their voters, financially if necessary, to get passports or qualifying documentation. And it sounds like Republicans are more likely not to have the proper documentation. Start early. Even if the bill never passes.

Because they are selling them does not mean you must buy them! Never bought them before. Never will.
