I would rather take pictures w/ my film camera, but the cost is kind of prohibitive.....so this will help a lot.<BR/><BR/>Off to do a day of photo shoots in San Francisco (and it isn't even very foggy). Story #2 will be put up when I get back.Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1146288753524831732006-04-28T22:32:00.000-07:002006-04-28T22:32:00.000-07:00I'm still working on getting some film for your tr...I'm still working on getting some film for your trip.

In the military they might still do it, but they don't do it at travel clinic though.

The health director for the MTC asked all those who were going to the Brazil,Manaus and Philippines to stand up. About a dozen of us stood and he exclaimed, "Congradulations, you all are going to the only missions where you can come in contact with every disease known to man." (there may be other places as well, but that is what he said). I received all sorts of injections and pills to help protect me while I was there. Had to get a "peanut butter" booster every 3 months....along with de-wormers and anti-parasite medication. So Bek, I feel for ya.Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260672421125052182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1146203650232268042006-04-27T22:54:00.000-07:002006-04-27T22:54:00.000-07:007 weeks.

There is also a shot that has been nicknamed "the peanut butter shot" because it is the same consistency. It takes the nurse two hands and all her might to inject it. Do you feel any luckier? ;-)CKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753715981940316495noreply@blogger.com
