For my birthday this year I asked for a flu shot. [View all]

Where I grew up they gave them away for free but since I live in a state that's being hit hard early I figure this is a good investment.

Doc's office visit here is $65 and now they charge you for the mandatory piss test, an additional $35 that I don't have.
Add meds, cases of kleenex and a box of chapstick for my nose and being sick can get really expensive.

How soon before I come down with teh autism?
