I'm picking # 2; 3 brothers! If you had 3 brothers they probably would have beat the crap outta you when you were kids so you wouldn't be here (if you were the youngest anyway)!

Your life must be full of sin if you keep forgetting what you need to confess to 😂 🤣

Nope!

I think they've already done that (better, early education) but not only that, today's general environment that kids grow up in is totally different to what it was when I was a kid. As you said yourself, parents smoked and I know when I was young, even my Dr. smoked right in front of us! "They" could have told me the very worst of everything that smoking could do to me (if in fact they knew it back then) and it still wouldn't have made me stop. Why? I was addicted and young - invincible! Plus, everyone I actually knew and respected smoked around me night and day. Those are the people I took my life messages from, not some stranger on the radio or TV. Nope! Don't think it would have changed a thing for me.

They're dealing with terrible air quality in southwestern Canada as well; all the way from Vancouver to Calgary. It's bad this year for sure 😞 This is the Vancouver skyline at mid-day with full sun 😬 Closest fires would be hundreds if not more that 1,000 miles away!

Ummmm ..... yeah. That was me that had a slight reaction!

I don't know about Calif. but here, if you are over a certain age, 70 or 75 I think, you are eligible for what they call a "Super Flu shot". No idea what the difference is. I was surprised when I heard that from my Mom. She's been getting it for a couple of decades now and I can tell you for certain, she hasn't had the flu 👍

I saw that as well on the news here. Geez, they haven't even had time to rebuild stuff after the last one 😞

You can get the flu vaccine already? It's late October before it's available here.

Nope!

I get every shot available. Never had an issue with any of them. The say the flu shot varies in effectiveness year to year but I've not had a really bad flu since I started getting one each year so what the hell. Why not? It's free of charge too, as are any of the other's I've had in recent years, pneumococcal, yellow fever and shingles, tetanus etc. I suppose there's more concern over the testing protocol and time frame with the Covid vaccines in the works but I figure, whatever they come up with should be better than nothing?

WOW! 4 Years!! Congrats Gary - well done
