This one apparently is killing off a much higher percentage of infected individuals than that one did. And I think what's also worrying me is the fact that I have a baby, whose immune system hasn't been exercised much in his short life. He's had, like, one cold? Then there's my chill husband, who never worries about anything. I asked him to day if he's freaking out just a little inside, and he nodded yes. The only other time I can remember him freaking out a little with his total freak-out of a wife was when we lived in DC, and the beltline sniper was on the loose. It's not that the odds of getting killed are high; it's just the volatility of the situation, I guess.Jenny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825876444617545025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198509439904574819.post-50851680192141085672009-04-30T07:51:00.000-04:002009-04-30T07:51:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more.

The more they can keep us glued to the TV, the more money they make.<br /><br />That is hilarious (and frightening) about your SIL's Obama theory. Of course, he does love him some terrorists you know.bassislifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702963863862810468noreply@blogger.com
