H1N1 Flu Clinics

You can go to this link and check the PDF guide to find out when a clinic will be happening in your area if you are in the Interior Helath Region. I see one on Friday in Nelson, but it looks like it is for the Pregnant women, infants, and health care providers, if I could read the fine print on the PDF guide. Check this site regularly if you have hopes of getting the flu shot for H1N1. My doc wouldn't give me the seasonal flu shot BEFORE the H1 N1 shot, unless I planned on not getting the H1 N1.
Seems like a little confusion around this area, but in the meantime, wash your hands often, keep the hands out of your mouth and nose, and wash down anything with an antibacterial ( Lysol brand) solution if a sick person has touched it, such as telephones, doorhandles , etc. The bacteria can live for 48 hours on anything.
LAst but least, if you come down with a sore throat and cough accompanied by a high fever, or any swelling at the joints, call the 811 health hotline to see if you should take further action. A dose of Tamiflu anti viral in the first 3 or 4 days of H1N1 flu, can considerably lessen the length and strength of the flu, and may prevent hospitalization.
So far, this must be prescribed by your doctor, but they certainly don't want to see you in their office, so call for a prescription.
Good Luck on your decision to get or forget the shot. I think the high risk group isn't my age group, so I am not too worried, as I was born before 1957,and don't have major health risks happening. If there is still some flu shot available at the end, I will consider getting it, as we will have plenty of customers over the Xmas season that could be carrying it. You are contagious for 7 days, so they say.If it looks too dicey and there are no shots available...Moi will be Masking up!

Recognize your friends?


Hag Lady having a bit of a problem with her hand

Beautiful Geisha Girl Correna

Massacre on the mortician's table


The whole garage was transformed into a Haunted house!

Thanks Correna and Joe for the excellent photos of your HAllowe'en bash. You are the HAllowe'en Goddess for sure, Correna! Looks like you went to a lot of trouble and had some great fun haunting the house. C. said she had these strobe lights that strobed to the sound of bubbling cauldrons and squeeking door hinges... oooooooh...sounds very spooky!
Love your sense of humour and if anyone finds black crows on sale for a good price, let C. know as she is already working on next year!

Emil's big Prize!


Look at this beauty from the depths of Kootenay Lake... 12 and a half pounds of solid fish!

The day was so beautiful that Emil decided to go for a few hours of fishing this afternoon. He only just got his line let out when "Bingo", Barney was singing along on his line and doing high dives out of the water. poor Emil never even had his fish net brought out of the back of the boat! With everything amuck, the fish miraculously held on and be darned if Emil didn't get it all reeled in! Good Boy Emil!
Unfortunately, his downrigger cable got all wound up in his little motor and snapped the cable... He stopped at Gord's place and Gord helped him sort out that problem.

This guy was the funniest... he was the Geni coming out of his lamp...and did you notice that the lamp said "Rub Me?" We all laughed at him and Anne put her Cleo head band on his protuding spout .He was out on the dance floor doing plenty of thrusting and bobbing with that fancy spout!

I would have given this pair 1st prize... Aunt Jemima and her partner..with a big rod and a small fish. They were very authenic and very well done!
