uh....huh.

I mean, I had it as a kid every year...and sometimes I still do even with the shots, usually around christmas. And then I won't be sick at all for the rest of the year

my dad use to get the flu shot while in the Navy but we've never gotten it but aside from my mom who would come down with a small cold shortly after my dad got the shot, I've never seen anyone with the flu.

^_^; Honestly, I don't even know what the "flu" is other than what I've read the symptoms are. My mom's symptoms were never that severe. Just the smallest of fevers and achiness.

And yet, each year, a part of me wants to get the shot if only for the simple reason when I get a basic cold, it throws me on my ass. I have this hidden fear that if I ever got the flu, it would really not be good for me at all.

I tend to avoid taking anything unless needed, let my immune system do some work.
