I've thought about it but I've never gotten them in the past and I lived so I'll probably be ok.  I think we cause a lot of problems by over-vaccinating for things, especially in our pets, and that is showing up as an increase in immune system related conditions in both people and animals.

Besides, if any germs manage to get past the contant barrage of alcohol I throw at them, I figure they deserve to kick my ass!   :biggrin:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

So you are admitting to also throwing a constant barrage of alcohol into your system? That explains a lot!

Heard and agree!  :beers:  :biggrin:

I've never had a flu shot either but it's no secret where I live. We're not cooped up indoors all winter like some are.

First of all, as we age our metabolism changes; same for our immune system. Health challenges such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and other common maladies, can serve to overwork immune systems that normally would fight off flu , pneumonia, and other such common illnesses; making vaccines to provide our immune systems a boost a necessity for many.

The general approach recommended by the CDC is to vaccinate as many of the general population as possible, in order to minimize the exposure levels for those with weakened and / or compromised immune systems.

That being said, those in good general health may not need the vaccines; however getting them may actually help reduce the length of an illness as well as the severity for most.

I wouldn't necessarily call a doctor a quack based upon his/her medical opinion expressed based upon a professional assessment of a patient / friends health status, either though. Now, if it is an opinion expressed based upon NO knowledge of an individuals health status, then yeah, quack.

Just agree about the flu shot.  I seldom drink and have only had one drink of any kind in the past 5 years.  Not that I don't like it or disapprove of it I just don't.  I don't like beer so I haven't had a beer for about 7 years.  Now you talk coffee or Pepsi and I'm there.....  :biggrin:

My son on his first jump.  He says he is hooked. He had a blast.  He is working on me going up with him.  I'm thinking pretty seriously about it.

I told you he'd probably live!  And what do you have to lose...do you want to live forever?  And is avoiding anything that might involve risk really living anyway?

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.   :wink:

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously, you might as well not have lived at all.  In which case, you fail by default.

It was Frankfurt.   He went up 15,000'.  Had a 60 sec. free fall.  He said his partner was super nice and made him very comfortable about the jump. 
I think next spring on my birthday, I am going to do it with him.
