So, I went ahead and got the flu shot for myself and for my boy. And now we’re both sick. He’s sicker than me, with a significant fever and a lot of discomfort and listlessness. I’m more in the every-inch-of-my-body-hurts mode, with no desire to get off the couch for love or money. It’s not that I am suggesting that we got sick because of the shot. It’s been more than two weeks since we got them. It’s that I am disappointed that we got sick anyway. The lousiest part of parenting is having a sick, miserable child, but it’s that much worse when you are sick and miserable yourself.
Trying to keep my spirits up by laughing as Dick Morris. I hope that moocher doesn’t try to get any unemployment insurance.
Money-back guarantee, always happens to me when an appliance breaks down days after the period ends. Ask CDC.
Just a streak of bad luck, always happens when you had a lucky streak. No, just kidding.
Get well soon. Al least you share the suffering with CB … There is one thing worse, getting the flu in the summer!
Sorry man. That sucks. I read the flu shot was only 60% effective this year. Unfortunately flu strains mutate as they spread and it sounds like you got one of the strains that survived the antibodies generated by the shot.
Sorry about Finny too. A real double whammy.

62% effective. Well, I was close.
Does that include partially effective?
Good thoughts to you and Finn, BooMan!
Sorry to hear it. That sucks. I hear Tamiflu works well but it might be too late for that. And it taste terrible.
I wonder what Morris will do. Nobody but Fox w old employ him as a pundit and he has no credibility to work for a campaign. And he has burned a lot of bridges.
Maybe he will just work on his dog collar collection
No mention of CG, the one without a flu shot, not leaving Finny’s side for more than 3 minutes since Sunday? I am shocked, shocked, I tell you.
I’ll bring soup home with me in a few hours. Until then, Wallace and Gromit are your friends. 🙂
It’s being a parent. Little kids are illness magnets. Eventually your boy will be a grownup and you’ll get a few years of health and then you die.
Heh. What a ray of frikkin sunshine you are.
Sorry to hear about the flu!
Now I had never seen Dick Morris on teevee until these clips. what is with his mouth? is he drunk?
