I just got back from Cancun last night. It was sad really. The airport was deserted. Our resort closed down yesterday and moved everyone to a bigger resort in the chain. All of those people out of work because of this. When you leave Cancun you are required to have an intern take your temperature and have a short visit. General concensus from the few guest we spoke with is this is BS. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Well, we're leaving tomorrow for Cancun. If I don't post by Monday night I'll either be a.) dead b.) interred at a Swine Flu detainment camp somewhere in TX. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Prepared...absolutley. What preparations should we be making? Tamiflu? Not nearly enough to go around and it doesn't prevent, only shorten. There is a vaccine. Complications included paralysis. Other than common sense things as stated from the CDC we are as prepared as we'll ever be. This isn't a political thread. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Me thinks you're in the wrong sport for that adage. "..cause for conern...not cause for panic..." Barring kids from school is panic induced hysteria. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I don't think anyone is suggesting we just brush it aside...but let's tone down the 'sky is falling' media hype. On another board for travel agents I read that somewhere in Washington state a client's kids were banned from returning to school for 7 days because they just returned from Mexico. Please.

Umm..yes. Must be an epidemic of agreeament somewhere Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Kind of off topic but as near as I can tell the budget for CDC is around 8 Billion per year. For this we get the following... Avoid close contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Clean your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Why don't they just admit there really isn't a damned thing they can do about this, give part of the 8,000,000,000 to my mother for using her advice, and move on. Please don't dent the planet.

754 people died in auto-accidents in the U.S. last week. 10,500 people were killed by cancer last week. Heart disease killed 1538 people last week. I think we need to keep this in perspective. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I've been feeling over the last few days that this has become a media-driven event. Are we over-reacting? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Amazing that it takes more than a whole calendar quarter to clean up the mess made over 8 years of irresponsible fiscal policies. And everyone knows the only way to fix irresponsible fiscal policy is with an increase in irresponsible fiscal policy. "Barack Obama will reform federal contracting and reduce the number of contractors, saving $40 billion a year." -- Obama's "The Change We Need In Washington" "The dirty little secret is that we're growing government," McCaskill, D-Mo., said April 23 on MSNBC. "Nobody wants to say they're hiring new government employees, so we've just done $500 billion in contracting and hired people through contracts. It's a mess." "I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less..." -- Denver AUGUST 28, 2008 "Obama will reinstate pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budget rules, so that new spending or tax cuts are paid for by spending cuts or new revenue elsewhere." -- Obama's Blueprint for Change The $787 billion stimulus signed by Obama was drafted outside PAYGO rules at his direction. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it will increase the 2009 deficit by $185 billion, the 2010 deficit by $399 billion, and the 2011 deficit by $134 billion.

I thought Obamer was going to change things in Washington? Instead he's just copying Bush, and doing it even worse. Doesn't that bother you Obamites? Psst....haven't you heard? He can do no wrong. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Duly noted. I've never been one to buy into the hype and this is certainly being hyped by the media. As of today there are 64 confirmed cases in the U.S. Think about it...spring break was last month. How many thousands of people just returned from a trip to Mexico? As a precaution we're getting doses of Tamiflu. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

_65 percent said it's difficult for them and their families to get ahead. More than one-third know of a family member who recently lost a job. _More than 90 percent of Americans consider the economy an important issue, the highest ever in AP polling. _Nearly 80 percent believe that the rising federal debt will hurt future generations, and Obama is getting mixed reviews at best for his handling of the issue. Hmmm. He got 53% of the votes in the election and now 48% say we're headed in the right direction. Wonder if the 5% are kicking themselves. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

LOS ANGELES — Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" and who won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame," died Saturday.

Have to agree with you. When GM started that crap back in the 80's it was a survival move. That combined with a like brand dealer on every corner killed any chances they had. I actually sold Pontiacs back in the late '80s. Drove me crazy that a cutomer could drive 10 minutes down the road and shop the same car. Or, worse yet he could go across the street and look at a Chevy that was basically the same car. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

All insurance companies have huge departments with one goal...how to legally NOT pay claims. Why is this a conservative v. liberal issue. Is it just that conservatives understand how these companies function? BTW...Peter Lewis, the CEO of Progressive is extremely liberal.

From Pat Works' United We Fall The Skydiver: (Male Variety). Between the insecurity of childhood and the insecurity of second childhood, we find the Skydiver. Skydivers are found everywhere: in bars, under bars, behind bars, looking through bars, in trouble, in debt, in love and in the air. Skydivers come in assorted sizes, shapes, and weights in states of sobriety, misery and confusion. Girls love them, mothers worry about them. Unemployment Checks support them, and, by some coincidence, they manage to get along with each other. The skydiver is laziness with a deck of cards, a millionaire without a cent, bravery with a smile. The Skydiver is a composite sly as a fox, has the brains of an idiot, the energy of a turtle, the sincerity of a liar, the appetite of an elephant, the aspirations of a Cassanova, the stories of a hero. When he wants something, it is usually free jumps, more money, a good piece of tail. He dislikes ASO'S, getting up early. small planes, hot-shot pilots (who never hit the DZ), the week before his payday, his girls' father's curfew, and legs (that is a landlover). He likes girls, women, females and all members of the opposite sex. No one can think of you so often and write so seldom. No one can get so much fun out of your letters, old jump)suits and sex movies. The skydiver is a magical creature: you can lock him out of your house, but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list, but not out of your mind. -Author Unknown http://users.cs.fiu.edu/~esj/uwf/uwf.html Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
