Mass. confirms 7 more swine flu casesBoston Globe - United StatesBOSTON—State health officials say they've confirmed seven new cases of swine flu in Massachusetts, bringing the total number of cases in the state to 88. ...See all stories on this topic

I still use hand sanitizer to prevent catching the swine flu. Yes it takes some effort to be more conscientious but it helps that my significant other is just as concerned. It would be alot harder if I was with someone that didn't care... and I have heard my fill from people like that. Even dear mom is not concerned...how appropriate for Mothers Day...she just doesn't think it's anything to worry about. Won't use hand sanitizer...won't change the way she does things one bit.

9 May 2009 -- As of 06:00 GMT, 9 May 2009, 29 countries have officially reported 3440 cases of influenza A(H1N1) Infection

It's going to be a long hot summer...it's already been in the mid 90's in May which is unusual this early as it is supposed to be spring still...had to turn on the ac last week just couldn't take the heat anymore...last time it was this hot this early was the year 2004 when Florida had lots of hurricanes. I have a feeling we are going to see alot of people suffering in this heat if it keeps up like this. We only go out early in the morning to work on the boat and after 6 in the evening.

WHAT ME WORRY - YUP I STILL DO - ABOUT SWINE FLU

We are going out more now these days - went to a small marine surplus store and also a paint shop - hardly anyone there...then stopped for a sub and even ate it where we bought it...but Bunnell is far more rural so no one was around...my guy feels safer in small shops and small towns - so do I. Though we still use hand sanitizer after touching store door handles. No crowds to contend with and if you know where to go there are still bargains to be found.

Swine flu is still in the news though not as much as in weeks past... CDC now confirms 1639 cases in 43 states


We are in the process of restoring a 36' project boat and are just now getting started on it...looking at everything we need to sand and paint the bottom and then compound and polish the hull. Then on to removing and replacing the marine engines. This project will keep him at home with plenty to do for the next 6 months I am guessing. Just in time for the 2nd round of swine flu in the fall. The prices of boats have dropped drastically in the last few months as the economy goes into freefall so there are plenty of great deals to be found out there.
