    I am worried about the swine flu!!! There was a boy here that just died from it who is 6. I have a 6 yr old and 2 younger. I don't want to have to worry about this. I don't think that it seems as serious as it is. How do you knwo if it is just the flu or the swine flu. It is crazy!!!

    I am concerned with all of this. Trying to do what I can and not worry too much about what I can't control.

    Im on my way home from my first deployment, so money is set due to a ton of savings. But the biggest thing on my mind is the holidays, since we get a specific amount of time off when my husband and i get home, we have to plan since my family is in MI and his is in TX and we want to see and spend time with both families!

    I am concerned about all these topics. I am trying to lighten the mood by focusing on the beauty of Fall and the festivities associated with this season.

    This economy has me and my family freaking out about everything! it's very scary to think that at any time, I could be sitting in my own office (I work for welfare office) and be needing assistance! It's a very scary time in our lives right now and I don't see people trying to make it any better!!!

    Our financialsituation is not currently under threat and so naturally what is worrying us is the H1N1 flu. We are travelling to our native country next month where the H1N1 breakout is severe and there is no good treatment available there ,like here. So confused about whether to take or not the H1N1 vaccination available

    I have gone on Thomas.gov and have copied HR3200 the health bill being proposed. If you read it carefully one problem is it ives ALL final decisions into the hand of a Commissioner. This will put all recipients of health care basically in the hands of one preson. The nation is far too big for that to happen. I would urge your readers to check out HR3200 on Thomas.gov for themselves. Miriam
