This situation doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
I had CNN on for about an hour yesterday afternoon and it's a good thing I wasn't playing a "Swine Flu Drinking Game", they repeated the phrase so often I would have been drunk off my rocker after 10 minutes.
This morning they say the best way to avoid this strain of sickness is by "social distancing"; closing schools, churches, and social gathering spots. Heck, it worked in 1918 why can't it work now!
So if we are to go so far as cloister ourselves into our homes we bloggers have one up on the masses. We will still have our community of blog friends, our BBF's our "Blends" (a.k.a. Blog-Friends). We won't miss a beat. For those that haven't begun a web log, now seems to be the time. You may be physically distant but the relationships you make with your cyber pen pals will get you through your new Swine Flu Seclusion.
So stay well and keep on blogging! ;->

We bloggers are always so ahead of the curve! ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan! I am such a homebody that I really don't mind sticking around home, though I do want to socialize my little guy, but I guess that will just have to wait =)
ReplyDeleteI was watching the news yesterday too and I don't know why I wasn' the one to come up with the drinking game...congrats on that one!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the drink for this week's VGNO...I'll let you know if I come up with a pig themed drink!
Go Blazers...if we end up with the swine flu, I certainly don't want to be stuck home with a p-o'd husband!
Ha! Now I haven't thought of this. At least VGNO won't be affected by "quarantine".
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the news or read the paper. There's a swine flu epidemic? Egads!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
Obviously, this is the only reason I began blogging...
ReplyDeleteOMG...so funny and true! Thank goodness I blog so much. I won't get swine flu or spend money at Target!

I am always blogging.This swine flu does scare me because my son is traveling with the track team all over the country this makes me worry. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a reason to stay in my PJ's all day. Thanks, now I have a good one.
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty much already under house arrest... haha. But if it really comes down to that, you're right! We're a step ahead of the game. See what I think about the swine flue... it's interesting. :)

I was looking for a reason not to have to go out this weekend so now I have one :) Thank. I wonder if the kid will buy it. Cant blame me for trying :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good point! Even if we are quarantined in our houses...at least we can still BLOG.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.. we won't even skip a beat.. life goes on.. sneeze and cough all you want.. no tissues necessary!!
ReplyDeleteJan :)
Ah! I love it! I am always looking for the bright side to my blogging addiction. You are genius.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are sooo right!!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is certainly more entertaining than Swine Flu!
ReplyDeleteAnd what better way to blog than VGNOing. The swine flu, is just that...a flu. The media is making it more than what it is in my opinion. I'm just sayin.........
