As for the flu shot, I know what you mean, I got one done once and my arm was sore for a few days and very tender to the touch.

I have never had a flu shot and don't intent to get one this year either. I watch my health and make sure to take vitamins regularly. My doctor says that they are for seniors, kids, and people who work with the public. Since i don't fall into any of those categories I don't get one.<br /><br />Radishes are delicious cooked. I've steamed them and they are wonderful<br /><br />Not a big anchovy fan, but i'm sure these are delicious.<br /><br />Hope you fell better and have a great weekend.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-82391106599404124002015-11-19T23:45:45.131-05:002015-11-19T23:45:45.131-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-3965814813952127152015-11-19T15:48:03.335-05:002015-11-19T15:48:03.335-05:00That kid who hadn't been through it before, wa...That kid who hadn't been through it before, was screaming fit to die.

We don't get colds or flu either. But at our ages it is probably a safe bet for us to take precautions.

I didn't know about the ants. Hope the flu jab improves. I love radishes and anchovies ...

I don't get the vaccine, I just don't trust it. I know some people really need to get it and my heart goes out to them. Thankfully I don't get colds or the flu, but if and when I do, I prefer to treat it with fresh ginger, honey, garlic, lemon, and lots of water and rest. Please take care of yourself.
