I keep getting startled by this whole Swine Flu panic. I am not panicking. Should I be panicking? Maybe I missed something. I don't think it is too big a deal, to be honest.
These sorts of things, though unpleasant, happen a lot more often than people seem to notice. What gets the attention of the nation, or the world in this case, is the media outlets that run three or four stories right off the top of the news broadcast about this new strain of flu and how it is infecting so many, so quickly. Maybe it feels like a cause for panic because we keep hearing so much about it.
I don't know for sure, but maybe if we all take a deep breath and calm down we might be able to think about it rationally and see that washing our hands and not sharing drinks and being responsible for ourselves and our loved ones would only help this situation.
It doesn't have anything to do with EATING pork products. Yet people only hear the words "swine flu" and seem to think the pigs were sick and therefore the meat is the transferring agent. Wrong.
Maybe I am just ignorant here, and that is OK. So, if I get this blasted illness, let's hope it kills me quick. The directions for funeral arrangements are in a document file on my computer--marked "Shauna's funeral"--in case anyone comes looking for it. Just don't sing "Love At Home" at the service. I will haunt you if you do--with my friends, the pigs.

Your tulip pictures are SO pretty. They reminded me of a song with a verse that goes something like this....."roses bloom beneath my feet all the earth's a garden sweet". DOPE!!!
Yeah! I'm a little cynical! There has to be a conspiracy theory somewhere! :)
