Since one of the reasons I keep this blog is to archive and distribute the work that I publish, I try to post page scans and text versions of everything that gets into print. I don't always do this as quickly as I would like (life's busy these days.) So what I've done is back-post the entries for my most recent "on" week - October 18 through 22 - and have included the links here.
I hope you'll go back and read 'em. These short snappers are designed to elicit reader response, so I hope you'll also take the time to drop a comment and let me know what you think.
Tue Oct 18 – Flu shots, please
Wed Oct 19 – Yummy pesticides
Thu Oct 20 – Bad Customs attitude
Fri Oct 21 – Capital budget follies
Sat Oct 22 – Tobacco plant closure
Great stories, Carmi. We could all do with flu shots.

and how are you this fine fall afternoon?
ReplyDelete~u know the drill, michele sent me~
I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteIkeep forgetting to say Michele sent me!
ReplyDeleteI like the flu shot one, I SO agree. My hubby is highly susceptible and always gets his, but other people get colds and all kinds of junk and don't bother to consider that coming to our house or going in to where he works and touching all his stuff is really rude. I'm always trying to keep sick people away from him.
ReplyDeleteCarmi, this is just a quickie visit from Michele. I love your writing and will come by tomorrow and read the other 3. As far as your flu shot entry, I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm not afraid to get one, I'm just too young! They aren't giving out shots to anyone under 60!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend!

Great articles Carmi...I like your writing!
ReplyDeleteI try to get the flu shot, but I get sicker every year I get it...go figure. LOL

Great articles Carmi. I agree that people need to get a flu shot.
ReplyDeleteI am not the tree hugging type either but we do not use any pesticides.
Oh yeah here via Michele's today...:)
Hi Carmi! Michele sent me, I'm happy to say. I'm going to read some of your posts, right now! What a terrific idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you concerning the tobacco plant closures...I feel sorry for the people lossing theirs jobs, but it had to come sooner or later.

ReplyDeleteMichele sent me this time.
Great columns and thanks for sharing. Isn't customs just a trip and a half? I often wonder where they get those people. It seems like such a power trip for some of them.

Carni You are quite handsome!
ReplyDeleteOk I've never had a flu shot before until last year. At work they did it for free. Lor and behold 10 days later I got the flu and it turns into pneumonia (SP?)
I endup spending 3 days in the hospital.
I do believe it was cuz of the flu shot I got sick so quickly and I've never had the flu for the past 17 years.
I know it's hard to believe, I'm one of those that eat lots of vitamins in veggies etc..
I luv u'r aticles btw

I enjoy reading your articles and posts. I have to check about the availability of flu shots around here, won't be eating "birds" for a while.
ReplyDeleteWhere I live, the elderly are lucky to get a flu shot let alone the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Michele sent me again!
