In Jefferson City,Mo more than 900 students were out sick from school on Wednesday, September2, 2009.

Lewis and Clark Middle School - one of the schools hit hardest by the virus. On Tuesday, 130 kids called in sick, according to school officials. That's 13 percent of the school's population."That's a significant number there," said David Luther with Jefferson City Public Schools. "That's higher than we would usually see this time of year. And higher than we'd normally see in general."

The school district is not closing schools. Even the new director for the CDC on CNN this morning said that it is "very unusual" for flu to continue on through the summer months and hit schools so early in the school year like this.

Anyone else having issues like this? We all know how hard it is to get straight answers through the media to let us know how widespread something like this is...especially so as not to create panic. Just wondering.

I love the house I am currently renting. I haven't discussed it with my landlord, and I am not sure how to bring it up in conversation. I have been here for a year, and would love to own this house. Any suggestions?

Does anyone else think things like,"Use spell check," or, "Get an education," or, "This is not the place for text lingo," while reading some of these questions?

You know, the sibling that screws things up in the family so bad that it effects how your parents then treat you? They automatically assume that just because sibling did so and so, that you, too, will do so and so, even though you don't do that and never would. And no matter how much time passes on this earth with you proving that you don't do the same so and so as sibling, they are so effected by stupid sibling's actions that you pay the price?

My friend had her fifth heart attack less than two weeks ago. She had a pacemaker implanted and they told her not to drive. I talked to her today, and she has been driving for three days. Is this wise?
