When I was employed and insured I never got a flu shot. But now this year when I want one, I can't get one. Well I can, but I just refuse to pay $26 for one at Walgrens.

@funyuns are awesome in phx: Don't go generic and get it at Walgrens. Go for the real thing at Walgreens. #swineflu

@Atilla the Bun: Yeah I thought it looked off. But I thought it was just missing a hyphen. I blame Google. A search for Walgrens does not give you a "Did you mean...?" correction. #swineflu

@funyuns are awesome in phx: I wasn't trying to be a bitch. It was just funny to me because of tonight's 30 Rock episode where the name brands were all "a little bit off." #swineflu

@funyuns are awesome in phx: Go the cheap route: take a bottle of vitamin C and lick the handrails at a bus station. #swineflu

Who’s panicking? Sensible precaution is not panic. #swineflu

Way to narrow down that number, CDC. #swineflu
