Awww.  You guys.  I have family members that suffer with this.  It's terrible for them, and hard for me to watch them struggle.  Would you want a thread started in the monkey lounge?  Or you can post here too.  What ever is the best for you all.

Yes.

if you're among the nearly 90 percent of the public that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) deems eligible for vaccination against influenza, there are lots of reasons to get the shot, and precious few for avoiding it. (more)

I always get a flu shot and this year got a pneumonia vaccine as well.

'Long-Lost Relative' Scam Targets Central Floridians; Residents Warned

POSTED: 7:48 pm EDT October 18, 2008
UPDATED: 8:41 pm EDT October 18, 2008


MARION COUNTY, Fla., -- A scam alert was issued over the weekend after scammers posing as long-lost relatives were able to steal money from Central Floridians.

Detectives said the thieves are pretending to be family relatives and asking for cash to get them or someone else out of a problem situation.

Usually, the bogus relatives claim they are in Canada and that money should be immediately wired to a location.

A Central Florida resident wired $2,000 in the latest reported incident of the scam.

A Casselberry family also lost money to the scam, police said. The family thought their grandson asked them for more than $4,000 so he could get out of jail in Canada.

Police said the grandson was actually at home in Oviedo.

Anyone with information concerning the scam is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Do any of you - Klaas - play Big Fish games? or games at sites like Pogo?  I have a membership at BigFishGames.com, where I pay $6.99 for 1 game code per month (plus any other game for $6.99 each).  They have lots of cool stuff. I really enjoy the Nancy Drew games (they just came out with The Haunting of Castle Malloy), but the Hidden Object games are cool, too.

Anyone from Florida... I have been wanting to take my girls to Disney World but have never been able to afford it..
Is there a way that you guys know of to get discount  tickets?

[MuffyBee]

It’s time to clear the air about getting ductwork cleaned
Evidence of benefits of HVAC system cleansing are inconclusive.

n the past couple of weeks we have experienced our first taste of fall and cooler temperatures. With nighttime temperatures dropping into the 50s, some people are beginning to use heating systems.

It is also the time of year that we begin to see advertisements recommending cleaning of the heating system ducts. Especially with growing concerns about mold and other indoor air contaminants, cleaning of ducts seems to be a no-brainer. But is it really worth the cost?

Unfortunately, there is not a yes or no answer to this question. (snipped)

AAA has some good deals on tickets and packages.  Also during times that are not season you can get some good prices.

Florida residents have to show proof of residence.  What I did when I lived in NY is went to a timeshare meeting and they gave us free tickets.
When do you plan to go?

Hi, Awakening.

This thread looks pretty slow right now. You should probably pop over to one of the busy threads, like the Caylee one, and introduce yourself. Welcome!!!

Welcome, awakening2lite.  It is the right place to say, hello, but as Treehouse suggested, please join in a discussion on a busy thread.
