Well said, sduuuuude. I had been divorced and it’s enough upheaval and it takes a lot of time until you REALLY sort all kinds of things out – within yourself and with others. With kids, that makes at least twice as complex, I can only guess. You don’t need the stress of looking for, submitting offers, buying & remodelling a house, especially if you are single parent. You really have to have a very clear, non-stressed head when you buy, to not be preoccupied about other stressful things. Right after divorce, and selling your current house – that’s enough stress without adding to it worry about your purchase if you have to sell at some point for whatever reason, or if the prices go south, or if you take a paycut or whatever. Even if the market would be relatively flat & long bottom I’d still suggest you rent.

Think also about the emotional support you need to provide to your kids, and extra time involved. You don’t need your mind on other time-consuming things – as a house purchase. Make it as least stressful and as painless as possible. One thing at a time. First, REALLY adjust to the life as a divorced mom. That would take at least a year, then you can re-visit the idea of purchasing a home with a clear head. So… RENT.

Another useful advice: Rent something nice so you feel pretty good in this home, because you need that after a divorce, you don’t need anything else that makes you unhappy/sad/annoyed. Rent something as nice as your current house, even if a bit smaller. Even if the rent is a bit higher than a mortgage, if the place is worth it go for it (but negotiate down if you can). After all you probably won’t be in that place more than 1-2 years, so that extra cost is worth at this time in your life.

Swine flu death rate similar to seasonal flu: expert

As a father I want to ensure my son has the best chances of survival but, I’m just as concerned about what the long term effects of the vaccine could be. This thing seems to have been rushed out into production. We don’t really know what side effects if any will be present and to whom.

The local news (channel 8, I think) recently ran a story about a mother going to get her children vaccinated at Balboa Hospital but, changing her mind once she learned that the version offered there contained a very smalll amount of mercury. Her concern was that mercury has been linked to Autism.

This is just another subtype of influenza A virus and the vaccine production technique is the same as it was in the past 20+ years, grown in chicken eggs, it’s not something new. They don’t even use adjuvants so there is no problem. I’d be more worried about the chemicals in food stuff, colorants and such, which are much harder to avoid and also, don’t provide a potential benefit/protection like the vaccine.
Mercury was NOT linked to autism per se. It was an unfortunate combination of an EXTREMELY rare genetic defect and that vaccine.

Vaccines are not for the sake of an individual. They are for the sake of the whole population to reduce the epidemics – and reduce the risk of more vulnerable people to die of complications from this thing. If they’d have enough vaccine, they’d vaccinate everybody who wants to.

It’s fine to say you don’t want to get vaccinated, but if you get sick and spread this around and it kills kids or pregnant women who were exposed to you, won’t you feel bad?

Thank you so much, Aecetia! It seem that they have it, I talked to the one on Ruffin.

I’ll go there today and scoop it out.
