With the two students who had it here, they moved them to private dorm rooms. No classes canceled, since the diagnosis came at the end of the last day of classes, and finals are still going on as scheduled.

I took the survey and checked the "I'm unlikely to get it" box. Now I have the sniffles.

The survey is interesting -- it asked about diabetes -- and how likely I am to get it -- well I have it.

And if swine flu is out there, While I am not more likely to get it that anybody else that sees 100s of people everyday, I am more likely to get complications both due to diabetes and asthma. However, because I treat even a mild cold like I am VERY ILL, I take better care of myself when I am sick.

I think with only 1 case -- 14 days is crazy -- the incubation is 2 - 9 days ( I think) . But , on the other hand -- I'd like to say kids stay home with a fever,and I know too many kids that do go to school with fevers, so maybe closing schools is the only way.

I can't tell you how many times I've had an empolyee let me know after they arrived at work that they have a fever. Stay home people! I'd rather be short-handed than infected.

Didn't mean to start a debate. I do think that the CDC wouldn't recommend 7-10 days if they weren't really worried about mutation of this brand new virus, so I'm willing to go along with it. I'd rather be behind than sick, especially after my bout with pneumonia last year. I was in the hospital a year ago, so it's been on my mind. I don't know why the school would close for 14 days instead of 10, but I'm willing to go with whatever they decide is best in the event one of my students is diagnosed.

Not so sure you really started it, Pix, it is just on people's minds

How about another topic?

Things Mom was wrong about that still bug me to this day.

High heels with jeans. Mom says: trashy. I often like the look of heels with jeans but I hear my Mom's voice in my ear saying "trashy!" as they walk by.

High heels are always right. Corollary, what's wrong with being a little trashy now and again for fun?

White after Labor Day. Dude, I grew up in Florida. I understand that she established those rules because she worked in New York in the fashion industry in the sixties, but seriously.

Only concession I make is on fabrics. I don't do velvet after Easter.

Holy cow. I was having this very conversation last night! Personally, I only like a chunky heel with jeans. The classic pump with a tapered heel, and, god forbid, stilettos just do not look right with jeans. To me.

But it's not trashy to me; it's incongruous. But some people like incongruity, so YShoesMV. And some people like trashy, so YTMV.
