Was wondering what happened to you. Glad you're feeling better.
*beware of old oil heated furnaces too...moved into a home heated this way and after not being sick for over a decade, I was ill for the better part of three months with 'flu-like' symptoms.
With the ever looming threat of the new strain of Bird Flu, it is best to have a shot to help build your immunity as a preparation for the next pandemic.
...glad you are back and feeling better, I already had my flu about two weeks ago. Its strange not to see you on the boards, something just doesn't seem right...
