De repente fiquei com vontade de estreiar um esmalte flúor. Nunca tinha usado, achava escandaloso demais. E é mesmo! Escandalosamente lindo! (com excessão das minhas cutículas. Finja que não percebeu, tá?!? Nunca tiro em casa...) Dei um toque especial fazendo uma zebrinha no anelar direito.

I am suffering today... A terrible cold. I'm surprised that I managed to crawl in to work this morning... I struggled through the day... manfully...
If you want to see just how serious a condition it is, then I would urge you to go HERE. It will take only two minutes of your time and I swear you'll love it! :)
You will understand that I haven't got the energy to post anything really creative :) So I'm afraid I'm heading back to the wonderful DRL TEN Pavilion which was on London's Bedford Square for a while before being dismantled recently. I think I may have said recently that I'd posted my last shot of the pavilion. I'm sorry to have cheated you - but I hope you'll forgve me. I am, after all, suffering from man flu...

Deaths in the U.S. since January 2009
Swine Flu: 0
Regular Flu: 13,000
There is nothing that cannot be overreacted to. Fear and hysteria allow politicians to control the population and the media to get higher ratings.
Update 1: Saturday, May 2, 2009 — A 23-month-old boy visiting from Mexico has died in the U.S. from the A/H1N1 flu (swine flu). So now the score in the U.S. is:
Swine Flu: 1
Regular Flu: 13,000
Update 2: This photo was used to accompany an article, Swine Flue And School Closings, by Max Kalehoff, on May 20, 2009.

Regular Flu Has Killed Thouands Since January
By Doug Gross
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
There had been no confirmed deaths in the United States related to swine flu as of Tuesday afternoon. But another virus had killed thousands of people since January and is expected to keep killing hundreds of people every week for the rest of the year.
That one? The regular flu.
An outbreak of swine flu that is suspected in more than 150 deaths in Mexico and has sickened dozens of people in the United States and elsewhere has grabbed the attention of a nervous public and of medical officials worried the strain will continue to mutate and spread.
Experts are nervous that, as a new strain, the swine flu will be harder to stop because there aren't any vaccines to fight it.
But even if there are swine-flu deaths outside Mexico — and medical experts say there very well may be — the virus would have a long way to go to match the roughly 36,000 deaths that seasonal influenza causes in the United States each year.
"That happens on an annual basis," Dr. Brian Currie said Tuesday. Currie is vice president and medical director at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.
Since January, more than 13,000 people have died of complications from seasonal flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly report on the causes of death in the nation.
No fewer than 800 flu-related deaths were reported in any week between January 1 and April 18, the most recent week for which figures were available.
The report looks at deaths in the 122 largest cities in the United States.
Worldwide, the annual death toll from the flu is estimated to be between 250,000 and 500,000.
About 9 out of 10 of those deaths are among people older than 65, Currie said. Most times, they already have health problems that the flu makes worse, he said.
"Regular influenza can be taxing," he said. "It causes their underlying disease to decompensate and then they don't have the reserves to get through it.
"While it may not be the direct cause listed on the death certificate, it certainly contributed."
One of the reasons medical experts are nervous about the swine flu outbreak is that many of the people who have died in Mexico have been young and otherwise healthy. The strains found in the United States have so far been weaker.
But even the regular flu is sometimes fatal for younger victims.
"It's not unheard of. It happens, either directly from influenza or they get a bacterial superinfection" like staph, said Currie.
While researchers haven't developed a vaccine to fight the new swine flu, it can be treated with antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, the same drugs used on the regular flu.
Many times, seasonal flu itself is tough to prevent because it has mutated to a form different than it was when the vaccine was made.
Seeking to put the swine flu outbreak in perspective Tuesday, Los Angeles County public health officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding echoed other public officials calling it "cause for concern, but not for alarm."
"Given the size of L.A. County, given the traffic between here and Mexico, it would be very surprising if we didn't have any cases," Fielding said.
He said the county, where the CDC had confirmed 10 cases of swine flu by Tuesday, sees more than 1,000 flu-related deaths every year.
"So it would also not be surprising if there were deaths with swine flu — even if it had the pattern of seasonal flu," he said. "Thus far, the pattern we see in the United States is very similar to that of seasonal flu — relatively mild to moderate cases."

Yesterday the World Health Organization raised the alert level on the H1N1 influenza virus (or "swine flu"), meaning that it is now officially a "pandemic" -- the first global flu pandemic in over 40 years. For now, this virus doesn't seem to be much worse than other strains, but the worry is that it may mutate to become more deadly, as did so-called "Spanish flu" of 1918.

This was a stone pig statue in a garden, and some clever person had put on the mask. Then it became an experiment in textures and layer modes (and the first time I've ever found a valid use for the "Dissolve" layer mode). Anyway, I don't expect this to be popular with the "sunset & flower crowd" (hey, that's me, too!), but here it is.

Update, one flu season later: well, there was much hype, widespread immunizations and some deaths, but so far this strain doesn't seem any more deadly than other seasonal strains of influenza.
I think that 8 hours per day in front of the computer + 14 hours of screenprint work per week are going to kill me.
My back hurts a lot. awww

I stumbled across an AP writer who runs and writes a virus diary.
This quote stood out as it reflected my reality, too.
"In this new normal, my runs are more of a calculation. Does this narrow path provide me six feet of social distance? Does wiping away a bead of sweat count as touching my face? If I cough, could I unknowingly leave a cloud of contaminants behind me? I only use my elbows to touch water fountains or crosswalk buttons"

NO BANNERS AND AWARDS PLEASE!!!
Lindsey and I got our flu shots today. It takes about two weeks for it to take effect, so don’t put it off too long.
I also got the first of two shots for Shingles. Not gonna lie, this one stung a bit, but not too bad.

Today was flu jab day and a good job it wasn't raining, coz from joining the back of the queue, it took 25 minutes to get through the doors.
This is for the 365 treasure hunt, number 54 Queue.

Poem by Tom Lee
I normally am singing hymns
When to my church I go
But no verses are sung today
A sermon then? But, no….
It’s for a different reason
That I’m venturing inside
Hands sanitised, mask ready
With arrows me to guide
I’m getting rather ancient, see?
I now have topped the list
Although I’m fine, I’m first in line
I think you get the gist
I’m queuing for my ‘flu jab
‘Priority’, that’s me
I don’t want Covid, nor the ‘flu
(The jab for me is free)
It’s a strict ‘one-way round’ system
In this door, out the next
It’s really quite efficient
(I was advised by text)
So now I am ‘protected’
But I still won’t take a risk
No raves for me, nor parties
It’s home for me and brisk!
In Canada there is a Freedom Convoy thing going on. It's sort of Mad Max meets ... Hillbilly Truckers. I dont really know how else to describe it. They drive in convoys with semis, big trucks, farm and construction equipment, create disturbances, lay on their horns, wave Canadian flags. Sometimes there's Nazi flags. Sometimes they have hot tubs and set up outdoor gyms by their trucks when they stop. They don't seem to like ethnic diversity and they are angry about Vaccination mandates...
On Twitter they are taunted with the name 'Flu Trux Klan'....

Tinha usado o PF uma vez há bastante tempo, nem flickr eu tinha, então decidi usá-lo pra que ficasse registrado aqui na galeria! Gosto bastante dele, pois é fácil pra esmaltar e limpar! Com duas camadas ficou bom, mas passei a terceira pra que ficasse mais escuro!
Aproveitei a árvore Primavera pra dar um fundo legal e gostei mais ainda!!
Usei:
1x Base
3x Pink Fluor
1x TC Impala
Propuesta de nueva imagen para Fluor, al estilo de uno de mis diseñadores favoritos >>Julien Vallée<<, quien a través de la gráfica hecha a mano logra composiciones entretenidas y llamativas...Algo de eso quería lograr, intentando emular esa expresión que la manualidad te permite entregar, que es una de las cosas que según yo caracteriza a fluor; una plasticidad y creatividad fuera del imaginario del pc.
Hecho con cartulinas y plasticina Play-Dough. Postproducido en Photoshop.
Saludos!

Flu season is just around the corner. Beth doesn't want to miss any workouts so she's getting her flu shot :-)
Today I was at my job and I wrote a book..I like so much..some words were very true and I'ld like to share with you with this beauty..
'If someone only see dark and think pitch-dark in night always view and see dark in life. Real musiki always tuned and muttered in nights and find it’s tone in melancholic times.
Yes night is so very secret conservatory..There some nights that ıt’s mother of decisions and opinions..' Life is like that..
thanks so much
