I ate pork chops yesterday. No signs of flu, but when I looked in the mirror this morning I noticed that my nose is getting flatter and my ears are getting longer and pointier. When I sneeze it sounds like an OINK!!! I have a strong urge to waller in the mud. Other than that, I think I'm fine!!! tongue.gif



Roy, does this have anything to do with the fact that your avatar is missing?   whistling.gif

complain.gif  Too many hysterical people these days. I don't know anyone who has the flu - of any kind?

I heard something interesting, though.  The local health department thinks the reason that most seniors have not been affected is because we get flu shots each year and probably have built up some immunity.

I guess I should have explained the photo. It belongs to a Hog Farmer who has that picture painted on his motorcycle, sign, business cards, t-shirts and what not. He raises and breeds hogs for bacon and wholesales the rest to processors.

It's a well-known photo in Florida, and the bacon is delicious.

Maybe Egypt will use a different method to replace their hogs?

Apparently we are going to have gorgeous summer this year - that should take our mind off things!

Summer heatwave prediction!

No, no, be fair - it might get as far north as us!

Anyway, we always have soup to fall back on and a raccoon hat to keep me warm!

Nice to see you Pauline!

Kris,
Haven't been here in a couple days. Hadn't noticed that my avatar was missing. Need to check further, but I think I may have accidently deleted it from the site where it was residing. Will check later. Off to another class now! Thinking.gif
