Random idiocy!
Is that what is being administered to the child in post 2?
Looking at that picture, it doesn't appear to be less scary for the child than the needle version. I'm revisiting the trauma I experienced as a parent, during my child's early vaccination experience.
I hate it when little gets his vaccinations. I act brave and don't get upset so as not to upset him further but later, when he can't see, I let it out. It does not matter if it is a shot or up the nose, it freaks him out and he turns red and cries. Awful. He has some coming up in a week. :(I hate it when the pups have to get shots, too. It may be worse because I can never explain to them why it happens, though I try anyways. :(
As a hospice volunteer, I am required to get a flu shot every year. I got mine in October.
I have never had an employer offer them onsite or free. I would think this would persuade more people to get them if it were a standard occurrence.
Poor kid. No wonder he looks so upset. He feels really sick.

I have had that. The cheapest potato vodka I could find.Tastes like cleaning products.
That is what you get for getting the cheapest potato vodka you could find.
I didn't buy it for drinking, but to make newspaper nail art and decided I didn't want to waste what was left.
It has been some time since I have wanted vodka but the last I had was a pomegranate vodka. It was very good and not to be used for making nail art.It seems as though you mentioned your nail art before. Are there any pictures?
Jammies is our resident nail art specialist. I'm just an amateur.
Were you using the vodka for the newspaper transfer to your nails?I think I was picturing something else for a minute there.
I did not get the flu shot. I cannot get it and have been unable to get it since discovering about 15 years ago that I'm allergic to it. I also cannot get the MMR. With that said, I've not had the flu since the last time I got the inoculation.

Yes.
One of my carpool kids told me yesterday that his family don't get ANY vaccinations.
How do kids without vaccinations get into school?I thought it was a prerequisite.
In Utah parents just sign a form that says, "I object" and they're in.
This Utah you speak of, where exactly is it.;)

Hidden in the deep south of the 1830s.
It's that area between the mountain ranges.

Wasn't that a movie?
I think there was a baby dinosaur in it.

No, I don't think I ever had one. The elderly and other risk groups get them though. I know my father gets them.
I just looked it up. The flu shot is offered to children (I may have gotten one when I was little,I just don't remember it), people over 60, and medical risk groups.
Susan wrote: "I think there was a baby dinosaur in it."You're right.
That one had real actors and regular dinosaurs. You may have it confusticated with "The Land Before Time," featuring animated the dinosaur Littlefoot and his friends, Petrie and Spike.
Petrie!I think I might have made a remake in my head of the combination of The Land Before Time and Baby : Secret of the Lost Legend.

Look who is still talking about it. On a new page, even!
I liked Jurassic Park. The sequels were horrid, but the original was fun. I like when the t-rex ate the guy in the outhouse.
That scene and when the water in the glass starts to move from the dinosaur footsteps are the most memorable to me from that movie.
So little received his flu booster shot today. He cried but only for a second which I expected. He then told the nurse thank you which I very much did not expect.
:)He says thank you without prompt and at the right time. It is the sweetest little voice, too. He even tells me thank you for changing his diaper.
His doctor said she thought he was quite bright. Here is my moment to glow a bit in my parenting.

Wow. That is really polite.
How about this, he told me earlier today that he needed his Deedah. He then said please!
Grandpa never said "thank you" when people changed his diaper.
Innocence can put a nice fog over a person's perception.
Mr evie and my daughter both get their shot from our family GP.
