My mother got bell&#39;s palsey from a flu shot and I vowed to never get another flu shot, but these two shots this year have entirely DEAD critters.   If you
have kids or have respiratory issues, I&#39;d definitely get them (you) the shot(s). I got one of each of the two flu shots because my wife is neutropenic
(sp?) with her leukemia.   IOW, she has no immune system, and as a result, I have also finally learned to wash my hands... ]]></description>

Balloon Boy is being questioned as I write this..

Does your father have a belief in U.F.O.s , and  E.T.s, and was he trying to send you up to contact them?

Worse, does he chase storms?

<br>
<br>
The dearest of all my friends is a lady who is now undergoing a very hard time in her professional life.
<br>
<br>
She has been hired as attorney in a construction firm, and not only is the legal department diminutive in size and importance, but also the working environment
is not that good (small space and a tad unclean). The earnings are below market par.

To top it all, she tells me that her boss is a perfect creep, agressive, dispersive and not as... ]]></description>

matter-of-fact and actually pretty spot on regarding 3 or 4 very specific things. anyhow, i had a pretty unremarkable reading, so i asked what my musical

			<description><![CDATA[ Shouted down at New Jersey Town Hall.
<br>
<br>
This is a video from the online edition of the Red Bank Star Ledger.
<br>
<br>
It is absolutely the most centered, balanced reporting of a town hall discussion I have seen, probably because they are not trying to fill a 24 hour news cycle
hole with ratings grabbing sensationalist videos.
<br>
<br>
The only thing I can&#39;t understand is how, or why, people on both sides of the debate have become so ignorant and callous.
<br>
<br>
Yes, there is... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, has said that the decision to release Abdel Baset al-Megrahi (the man convicted of the Lockerbie plane
bombing) was his and his alone, and that although Mr. al-Megrahi showed no compassion in his actions, compassion is a core value of Mr. MacAskill and his
government, and that it was on the grounds of compassion that al-Megrahi, who is likely to die within the next few months, was released and transported back to
Libya, his home.

there&#39;s too much cool swag to find and swap.  He&#39;s way ahead of me, going for his 100th find ... I&#39;ve got 34 and a sizeable collection of geo coins
to drop off.  I&#39;ve also started a series of &#39;Little Lady Drummer&#39; travel bugs to send out in the world.
