this is a poll about....well....nothing...... I was bored and figured that some other people might be bored and want might to read or vote on nothing at all.....

The flu vaccine contains inactive (killed) viruses, meaning they cannot cause infection. Side effects common to the vaccine are low-grade fever and aches, which some mistake as symptoms of flu; also, since the flu shot is given during the cold and flu season, there is a good possibility that you are seeing causation where there is only correlation (ie. You may have been infected prior to the vaccine, or you may have contracted a virus such as rhinovirus, which can cause flu-like symptoms). Remember, correlation does not imply causation. I am not saying that everyone should be getting the vaccine - I personally haven't decided for myself yet - but I AM advocating that you fully research the information provided by professionals, rather than relying on hear-say and myths. My PM box is open if anyone has any questions, but I will preface this offer by stating that I am not a physician, but merely someone in the healthcare field with access to the latest information.

aw, thanks! definitely more photos to come

I arrived to the building with the most delicious black lingerie I own, it is the most unusual building I have seen here in Ottawa. A good sign! I buzzed in and walked down a long red hall, wondering who designed this building and who would be on the other side of the door. I knocked, and the door opened. There stood the poet in a bathrobe with the biggest smile I have seen in days, which is saying a lot because there have been amazing smiles this week here in Ottawa. He hugged me and gently nuzzled my neck, while slipping my coat off. He took me on a tour of his place, and then we ended up on the couch. The rest of the evening will remain as I always prefer - DNRD. It was two of the most amazing hours and guess what.... HE'S 90!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The point I am trying to make, is that you are never too old to appreciate quality time and to take the time to appreciate the littlest details. If we could all share this mans intense will to live every moment of every day it would make this world a much more enjoyable place for all. If you are sitting having a drink, raise a toast and drink to one day being this much fun... Cat

Or, you know, you could link to a site that is Canadian content and updated as of 2009.. :roll: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cig-gci/p01-tab01-eng.php Politics and cerb shouldn't mix, but if you're going to link to a site that is run by a REVEREND with a personal agenda.. Just goes to show you're not fully researching both sides of the facts.

Taken from: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/emu/pan_flu/ What is an influenza pandemic? An influenza pandemic is a flu outbreak distinguished from seasonal influenza by its scope and seriousness. It becomes a worldwide epidemic, or pandemic, when a disease spreads easily and rapidly through many countries and regions of the world and affects a large percentage of the population where it spreads. How does an influenza pandemic start? The viruses that cause ordinary/seasonal influenza ? or ?flu? ? are constantly changing. An influenza pandemic starts when a new strain of flu virus emerges, and is different from common strains. Because people have no immunity to the new virus, it can spread quickly and infect hundreds of thousands of people. Influenza pandemic strains can develop when an animal or bird virus mixes with a human virus to form a new virus. With the H1N1, they are estimating that 35% of the population will be infected, compared with 10% for the seasonal flu. It is a new strain that the general population has no natural immunity to, thus the higher infection rates. Generally, influenza strains result in 2000 to 8000 deaths annually; with H1N1 we are looking at 80 deaths in 2009 [current of October 15th]. The main threat of H1N1 is that we have no natural immunity to this strain, thus the higher infection rates, and also why we are seeing deaths in different population categories [they are now saying H1N1 is higher in women 18-60 years of age]; adults 18-65 years of age are at a higher risk of infection and serious symptoms. Children are not at a high risk for serious illness/outcome, but are a main source of spreading the virus to more vulnerable groups given the nature of school-recreation-home routines. Basic moral of the story: If you feel sick, STAY HOME. I cannot stress this enough. Too many people are shrugging off symptoms, however mild, and are continuing their routine - infecting others in their workplace, etc. Many places are offering guidelines and extended sick leave to encourage their employees to stay home.

Some of the threads such as "hot asians", "Thong of the day" and so on... were deleted as a few members chose to ignore my warnings about posting photos with genitals showing. The threads are now removed as I am done deleting photo after photo and handing out warnings that go ignored. Please DO NOT start any more of these "Nude / Adult favorite photo" threads.
