So I've seen alot of conserversy latly about whether or not to get your children/yourself vaccinated. Some people think autism or epilepsy or even certain disablilities are caused by vaccines. I've also heard people say that the government use vaccines to spread the diseases around to keep people "regulated". I'm not sure if any of that is true or not.
I've also had this discussion with several different doctors that range from a family practioner to an ob/gyn doctor. They are are pretty much sticking to the same story. Every one should get vaccinated with the what the CDC suggests.
The doctors are saying that it helps keep our immune systems protected from diseases and also helps the spread of these diseases. Research has shown vaccines make some disease outbreak less likely. According to the CDC in 1979 Japan had a rumor spread around that the whopping cough/pertussis vaccine was no longer needed so alot of parents didn't vaccinate their children and there was a huge epidemic.
I guess each parent/ adult needs to do their research and find what they think works best for their family. I for one will have my daughter and all future children vaccinated. If i can help keep my child safe and keep from epidemics happening then I am game.

Respect and Politeness
Where did all the respect and politeness go in this world. Yes I was one of the crazy shoppers this weekend. I told my mom I would take my step dad (he has a TBI and dementia) and her adult family home client (who is developmentally disabled) christmas shopping. We went to Shopko and Walmart on saturday.
I haven't in my entire life, other than high school that is, see so many disrespectful and rude people. They were pushing people, cutting them off in lines, swearing. One child who was maybe 7 years old was swearing at his parents. The parents just stood there like nothing was wrong. I couldn't believe my eyes nor my ears!
When I was growing up if my brother or I had talked to my mom or showed anyone disrepect we would be at LEAST grounded. Tv time taken away, video games(as we got older) toys taken away. We grew up knowing how to be respectful of others. Now I can't even take my daughter to Walmart for groceries with out hearing profanity. Of course I'm not a saint either, I do swear but I try not to in the presence of others especially not children.
I am one of the mothers who will say some thing if your cursing in front of my daughter. You wouldn't believe how many kids and ADULTS I've had to scold, and the faces I get for saying something. Its like they have never been told they are using nasty language. It's still appalling hearing profanity used in every day langauge.
Would you be one in the Walmart check out that has to be told how to be respectful, even as an adult?
