I think most of us want one, but few of us can get one 'cause we're not in the priority groups. I waited and waited, and then I ended up getting the flu, and I know I'm far from the only one. But since they're not testing to see what kind of flu you have, I can't be 100 percent sure that what I had was or wasn't H1N1, so I'll probably get the shot anyway, whenever they get around to allowing me to.

On I got the H1N1 vaccination ... did you?

I'm having the same problem. Smaller stuff, I'll probably just buy myself -- as it is, I'm a good bargain shopper, so I can probably find whatever it is for less than someone else would've spent to buy it for me. Clothes, I could use but would rather pick out my own. I just can't come up with much for a list.

I've been one of those grumblers, but I have to admit that yesterday, out in the stores with Xmas carols playing (not pop ones, either, but music-box-type renditions of the old classics), I got sucked in and started my holiday shopping. I hate infringing on Turkey Day, but then again, there ARE only a few weeks until present time.

The parking's not a problem if you get there early... REALLY early. I might go if I see a really good deal on something I need, but as of now, I don't.

On Do you shop on "Black Friday," the day after Thanksgiving, when many stores open early and offer big bargains?

I think the problem is that there are always more good books being written, but there's only so much time in a school year. No, I didn't read Twain in college -- I read it in high school. As long as at least a smattering of the classics get in there somewhere in high school, it's about the best we can do, I think. (Not that you shouldn't try to get some in in college, too -- but would you have us not read Toni Morrison, simply because she's more contemporary?)

I'm with you -- we live in New York, therefore we should root for the New York teams, right? Go Yankees! :)

On Local elections certainly matter; go Yankees!

I'd say going to a party, but this is actually the first year since I was a kid that I've been able to go to one. Seeing others in their costumes is fun, too, though, including little trick-or-treaters. :)

Oh, you have to see "Coraline" -- it's really, really good. (And you're right, it's also too scary for little kids.)

A lot of countries eat pigeon. I totally would -- if he's got them, I'd be tempted. Can't be much different than chicken, right?

Most importantly, VOTE. Voting is one of the only times you get a direct say over your government. Study up on the candidates, make an informed decision and vote for whoever you think is best.

On Do you plan to vote next Tuesday?
