It`s a flu. I doubt that anyone you know will die from it. People in Mexico are dying from it because they have very poor medical care and are going through a severe drought where most people aren`t able to wash their hands or keep hydrated once they get sick. Remember the last time you got the flu? That`s exactly how it is.

Once you have a virus the vaccine will be no good to you.. vaccines are a preventative measure and also work to rid a community of a contagious pathogen because it can`t spread. If it weren`t for vaccines and the majority of the population having them diseases like small pox would still be killing hundreds of thousands of our babies! A vaccine may cause some symptoms but it`s better than death.. surely?

there is a vaccine for this flu.the proble is they don`t have enough viles made up yet but there is one. as for getting the vaccine no I`ll take my chances. The vaccine for this flu can prove more harm than the swine flu itself. The last time we had a swine flu epidemic was in the 70`s 1 person died from swine flu but several died from the vaccine and many others were paralised. I`ve heard that they have improved the vaccine since then but with out proper testing there is no way that I`m going to trust it.

I vaccinate my son with all vaccines except the flu vaccine because it does more harm than good. Now about this swine flu we are taking the same precautions that we do during regular flu season. I really don`t know why ppl are getting so worked up or scared about this thing.

I agree with mommamia more people died from the vaccine than the actual flu. On that note I am worried about getting the flu, especially my kids getting it, so you better believe I carry that antibacterial EVERYWHERE :P

Thank you for that information!! Very good to know. I`m just wondering how all the vaccinating parents are feeling about this strain of flu, since there`s no vaccine to turn to.

This isn`t the first `outbreak` of the swine flu and it`s no more dangerous than the regular seasonal flu. If I did feel sick I would just stay home and try to get better, like I would with any sickness :) The CDC and the WHO are recommending you don`t even go to the hospital if you feel flu-like symptoms because almost all the cases are mild and the waiting rooms are already full of people with mild flu-like symptoms.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
