I got vaccinated.  I usually don't because I hate needles, but this year I did.  Mostly so our daughters would also get vaccinate against the Flu.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

My grandmother made an awesome hot toddy...would sweat out any illness you had in you!!

Try saying flu-fighter properly when drunk on whiskey AND running a fever.

Being from a country family, we used whiskey for everything. My Grandfather (rest his soul) used to rub Jack Daniels on our gums for teething pains when we were little rednecks.

I haven't been sick (minus a case of food poisoning)  since Christmas 2005 (I remember since it was my senior year).
