Complications such as serious joint pain, seizures and neurological problems have been associated with the injections. I think it is a little inappropriate to go advocating the vaccine to people without having done a little research- i do agree that the headline was a bit ludicrous, but you also shouldn't be recommending medical treatments without fully understanding the benefits and risks...

It it hadn't been for your precious friendship , your support and enthusiasm, for my idea, not to mention the hours you spent critiquing my work. Without your help and encouragement none of this would have been possible. And... to all you writers' out there, heed Pris' comments, don't let anyone discourage you. Find folks who will listen as you read your book to them, chapter by chapter, re-write by re-write. Find someone like Pris who will take the time to read your work and critique it appropriately. Then you know you've found gold. And Pris she's my gold. Oh, my, thank you sooo much.

Holidays! by Kimmy http://ptpontificates.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/happy-holidays/#comment-6 Kimmy Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:37:25 +0000 http://ptpontificates.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/happy-holidays/#comment-6 Ahhhh, such a breath of fresh air to hear un-sugar coated feelings during the season that is covered in sugar....and lard! In addition to the dealings with in public (shopping which I have grown to despise) we must entertain the goings on in the home. I know you know what I mean. The one that claims they are "too nice" and "too caring" but then all too eager to throw a knife when your back is turned or in my case while you are looking right at them. I think this is only in the hopes they hit you right between the eyes. Oh if we could all be so hard headed! It is this person that also rambles on about how the holiday is more about what you give than what you receive. That of course is only the case when you are talking about spending a dime on anyone BUT them. I find that I have to sit back and laugh. Laugh about how this "nice" and "caring" person will pounce on every opportunity to be rotten. Like the spoiled "screaming" kids you speak of, but for an entirely different set of motives. The temper tantrums all sound the same to me, regardless of why they are being thrown. What is it they say about a leopards spots? Or the Zebra's stripes? Or the dog and his tricks? LOL!! One day, when they are too old to change anything, the bus is gonna run right smack into them. They will then transform from bus driver to pedestrian and finally know how it feels to have someone throw you in front of the bus. Well, I have just learned to suck it up, accept it for what it is, and never leave home without my helmet......that is because it is all in my head anyway.....may as well keep it there! Love ya gurl!
