When Pigs Fly...Swine Flu
I have several reasons why I will probably get Swine flu
1) I am pretty sure we have illegal Mexican people coming into my town. I can't say this with with 100 % certainty but I am pretty sure it's true.
2) I am pretty sure people who are at my grocery store have been to Mexico over spring break. Again, I can't say this for a fact, but I am very intuitive that way.
3) We have a high Mexican population where I work and even though they have " closed" the campus AND have given the boys lectures about changing their underwear, it still might be seeping in.
STOP: I know, you want to know what changing underwear has to do with the swine flu. I have no idea, but this morning I heard the director of Safeway telling the kids that there was a swine flu epidemic and they needed to take care of their personal hygiene such as changing their underwear.
4) I know real people who have real pigs AND they were in Florida over spring break and I think there were mexican people on the plane.
5) We had several boys at work who got Merca when it was going around. I did not get Merca but I did go to a doctor and ask if I had Merca and he was mean and said " I was listening to too much hype on the news."
6) I only got the non pig flu once, but have had several bouts of stomache flu over the years and it wasn't pretty.
So yeah, my chances look pretty dim. On the upside I will get media attention and a lot of rest. I don't think I'll actually die, because when I had the non pig flu that time I didn't even come close to dying, and it's supposedly the same thing. I don't know why they call it something different, probably because a sneezing pig sounds kind of cute.
So when you see me on the news, be kind, I am sick after all, and I don't usually look that crappy.
I lied, I do always look that crappy, but still...
I hope they have a lot of cable channels in isolation and decent food. Oh and a lap top. Do you think someone will send me a lap top because I have swine flu? I hope so, because I want to be able to blog about it.
Anyway, I better stock up on canned goods and stuff, because I think your supposed to do that in these situations. I'll get back to you soon.

I'm pretty sure there is a sign at the Mexican - United States Border directing them here. Anyhow that's what I heard from the hispanic waiter at el norte' one time maybe.
@illgrindmyownthankyou - hee hee.
Something about talking about underwear and "seeping in" in the same sentence makes me think of boys stained boxers. Ew.
Well, if you do get it, please continue to blog.
lmao... change your underwear... yea, THAT will take care of the epidemic. geez...
Just to be safe, you better change yours too... like at least every other day or something. You've got nothing to lose.
Gee, if not changing your underwear were the cause of the swine flu, at the rate they say it's spreading, I'd say there's a lot of people with dirty underwear out there....which really grosses me out!
I live in a state with too many pigs. I have been sick of them for a while too.
Personally I'm wondering why Heidi and Spenser still went to Mexico for their honeymoon when they already knew what was going on.
@gottobereal64 - ew is right
@madamzephyrus - hummm, maybe
@WakeUpLaughing - true
@Isismoon - ha ha ha
@PrincessFiveandDime - yeah, highly suspect.
Early this week, we were gathering at the coffee pot at work. M sneezed and said, "Oh, I just can't seem to get over this swine flu." Yes, she was kidding. But if you happen to sneeze around somebody, it's a great way to get attention. Give it a try. Blog about it.
I wanted to go buy up groceries and hubby said "no" I was overreacting. That reminds me when I wanted to buy toilet tissure and there had been a run on it about 20 years ago. He finally said okay and all there were were empty shelves. I hadn't thought about it but if the underwear thing is true maybe we should thank our sweet bippies that Swine Flu and Toilet Tissue shortage didn't happen at the same time. ~ mom
I think you are right, you are ripe to play host to swine flu. It doesn't sound like a bad deal though - I will be sure to tell people i know you when I see you in national television. I'll also say that you're super hot when you're not hosting a foreign virus. Hey, I got your back.
MRSA is still around. I'm around it on an almost weekly basis (gotta love working/having clinicals in a hospital.
Swine flew. That's awesome.
@MixedUpMale - will do thanks for the advice
@mommachatter - very true
@evagarringer - Thanks, I will send you a I survived the swine flu T shirt
@loveisforeternity - good times
Personally I know of NO ONE that has swine flu.
I think that it is mostly hype and that the media totally overblows things to a ridiculous degree.
Still, washing hands often has ALWAYS been a good idea, people. As for underwear, ya, well that goes without saying.
Change my underwear? But this pair isn't worn out yet!
ROFL! lol
@mammaquiet - exactly!!!
@Bad_Dogma - okay, well you're pron to swine flu then
