I kinda landed here on accident while searching for 3m avian flu mask, but nice blog.. I got you bookmarked.<BR/>If you got time , go visit my site, it�s <A HREF="http://www.articleavalanche.com/Article/Avian-Flu-Fact-Sheet/40" REL="nofollow">3m avian flu mask</A>.

And face masks. That will solve your avian flu worries. (oh, and don't share towels or sleep in the same room as someone with symptoms). And up your vitamin C doses.<BR/><BR/>The people I know in Canada seem to be quite personable, and one of my Canadian friends owns 50 acres somewhere (Vancouver, I think). I plan to cultivate them and more in case I need a "safe house" at some point as a prelude to emigration.<BR/><BR/>After watching "Inside Katrina" on the National Geographic channel (and not a porn film as you might infer from the title), having a couple of weeks of non-perishable foodstuffs and potable water stocked in the house is not a bad plan in general. If a disaster strikes, response times may be slower than you think from watching TV shows. It will also go very well with my case of sterno, purchased before Y2K.<BR/><BR/>But by all means, continue to worry about retirement.<BR/><BR/>And you can add "sending Linney to Veterinary School" to the list, as well :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1131227379973811362005-11-05T13:49:00.000-08:002005-11-05T13:49:00.000-08:00With the riots in France and in Argentina..

Why go to the trouble of doing something that just replaces one worry for another? I've only once gotten a flu shot: when President Ford told us all to do it (a 70s craze). And I've only once gotten the flu (in a different year). It was terrible! <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1131161248900804142005-11-04T19:27:00.000-08:002005-11-04T19:27:00.000-08:00Um, I don't mean to add to your worries but . . . ...Um, I don't mean to add to your worries but . . . how can you not be worried about what Bush is doing to the Supreme Court? And there was no mention about the effects of poverty? Are you really not worried about poverty? Worrying about poverty keeps me up at night! What about child maltreatment? Do you have any idea how many children are in the child welfare system due to abuse and neglect by their caretakers? And what about identity theft? And all that data that's being collected about ordinary citizens by the government and corporations? What the hell are they doing with all that information?<BR/><BR/>I could go on.

And B could take over worrying about 21st-century anti-Semitism? I'd really appreciate it. If she could just raise the red flag and let me know when it's time for me to stop procrastinating and get the family all passports, that would be great.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I suppose if we really wanted to answer the question, "Is Canada a realistic refuge?" we ought to ask some Canadian Jews.

If so, I'm going a lot farther than Canada. (France sounds good today, Australia's pretty nice, but you go where you have to.) Still, before we pack suitcases to keep by the door, we may still have some chance to ward this off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394922.post-1131134799280460062005-11-04T12:06:00.000-08:002005-11-04T12:06:00.000-08:00Hmm, I think I'd rather surrender to the Jihadists...Hmm, I think I'd rather surrender to the Jihadists than move to canadia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
