“Please be careful and do not get run down.

The pig flu is still out there and his hitting groups and schools still, or even more so than in the beginning. If you are run down, it will be harder to survive.”

Thanks for the concern. Actually, we’re in pretty good health, considering our ages. ;) Vitamins and herbs have been my friends for many years now. :)

Since I work “retail”, I upped my intake of Vitamin D when this flu broke out. I don’t have the time to be “sick”. :) Since I handle money(probably the dirtiest thing I touch all day ;), not to mention dealing with customers, Lysol and soap are my very good friends. :)After being coughed on; sneezed on; and yes burped on; not to mention being handed money by people sorely in need of a bath, I’ve also learned to stand back from customers. :)

Increased sales of 7-Up and popsickles usually indicate when “something” is going around, but so far the pig flu seems to have avoided this area and there’s been no mention of it in the local gossip down home.

Although I’m often physically tired at the end of the day, I actually *feel* better than I had in some time because we’re now actually “doing” something positive. :)

Yes, you are on the firing line, out there to catch everything that stops.

As for the 7 up, this area has the pig flu and we also are passing around the stomach flu, so 7 up is a good stock to buy.

I envy you, having a dream and living it, even if it is a slow and difficult undertaking.

Somehow surviving is lots more fun, than whipping out the check book and buying everything you want.
