Flu shot does not protect you

Hi all, I'm recovering from the very worst flu I've ever had in my entire life. It turns out the government or whoever wrongly predicted which strain of flu to immunize the population against and I got the horrific stomach flu that makes you want to die, and has actually killed people. I won't be on here for awhile but I did want to tell all of you to be really careful and wash your hands, sanitize everything, dip yourself in clorox if you have to, just be careful. This thing is the worst, I threw up from four in the morning until 1:30 in the afternoon the next day, every 15-20 minutes. And I got the "flu shot", but it was the wrong strain I was immunized for. This is happening all over the country too. Be especially careful if your immune system is already compromised in any way. Take care of yourselves and I'll be back when I'm feeling better. Also if you do get sick, rest as much as you can, I made the mistake of going back to work too soon and it set me back big time in my recovery, I couldn't drive home because I was so dizzy, nauseated and covered in sweat. It's awful. I do hope you all had a merry Xmas...Talk to you later.

Awww, you guys are so sweet! Thanks very much for your kind words. I did get all better, but boy that was a rough one. It was weird, I was really sick for about a day and a half, then I thought I felt better enough to work, so I worked (and only a four hour shift, mind you) and thought it was going to KILL ME, and the next day I felt as sick as I did the first day and developed a fever and the whole nine yards. And what's weird is that I've talked to people who had the same exact flu and they said the exact same thing happened to them, you think you feel better and then you like...regress! 😢 lol, I hate the CDC, I'm suing etc...jk...but you know, they really better get it together next time because people really have died from this.
Sometimes...I want to go backwards in time. Just re-do all kinds of things. And just enjoy and re-live others. I enjoyed my life very much at the age of four. I do remember being four, as weird as that is. I remember things that I did, said, and plac

just crawl into a hole and die? Really...has life ever gotten to you that much? Love? Love is doing that to me. I'm not actually suicidal, but it's that point you get to where you're not even angry..it's true sadness, just the lowest, lowest feeling.

So it's come to this: I'm completely, entirely on my own now. I was before in most ways, since my breakup with Leo Bastard, but...there was this person. But that person and I are not going to work out, it seems.

Where can I meet normal, quiet g
