Totally don't use, creosote or motor oil... town I went to school near us is actually a 'super fund site' from a railroad tie factory and creosote, pretty sure it must have been coal creosote , bad, wood creosote not much better, but almost similar to , but not, to smoking meat or using liquid smoke, that we eat..., It's a preservative, either way.
Locust fence posts need no preservative, last forever, ... but if you used other than, dad always soaked them in a bucket of creosote, I'm pretty sure stuff he saved himself from what leaked out of the wood stove.
Not even joking about guy I work with said he painted his barn with motor oil, many yrs ago and still looks nice,... no thanks. .
Some people here actually ran barrels of used motor oil, sprinkling it up and down their roads to cut down on the dust, dirt roads. Most roads are now tar and stone and not dirt blowing up a dust cloud (more motor oil) eventually wore down and much like actual blacktop (more motor oil). Roof shingles, more motor oil, ...
Blah blah blah blah....

I'm not much for cakes or rolls, pies somewhat, just not much into sweet stuff. Do like DWs grandma's apple cake, DW made one today

I',m very much into sweet stuff, could you guess? Ron I would love that cake roll.

BTW I've been getting flu shots for ever it seems. Started when my son went to school. My parents would get the shots and I would get it also because we all lived together.
I cannot remember when I last had the flu.

I know the doctor offices don't have the vaccine yet. I wonder if they get the "good " stuff.

Target, Walgreens, grocery stores etc have shots and have been pushing them since last month. Maybe it's their old stock leftover from last year. I usually get it in October but, Target has an offer $ 5.cpn.(to spend) free when you get a flu shot. You can only get one shot tho. Or I'd probably make a career out of it.

I got a $ 5. purchase in the store, so I didn't even need to pay tax. I asked the pharmacist why I didn't get a bandaid with the Target dog on it like usual. He said they didn't have them any more. BUT, he let me take a candy bar from his candy collection. I picked a Snickers. He said he keeps the bars for when the staff need a boost. Squeaky customer gets a treat. I've also known him forever . He's a very nice person . His favorite movie is "Dumb & Dumber." Which speaks volumes about him.

I have to get a flu shot every year. I sometimes still get the flu. I just hate getting sick. I have a low immune system and my husband is a carrier of everything. If someone he works with is sick he brings it home to me and I get it he rarely gets sick.

Ron that Swiss roll makes my mouth water!

Diva, I assure you that the vaccine they're selling is not last years. Every vaccine expires on or before 30 June at the end of the season (season is September to April). So this year's vaccines for season 17-18 will expire no later than 30 June 2018. The early push is so they get money. It is just competition.

The CDC still does not recommend one vaccine product over another for adults (except the nasal isn't approved again this year), so if you're waiting for quad over tri or high dose over regular, just get vaccinated. Australia had a very bad flu season (just got over) with lots of deaths - especially hitting elderly and kids 5-9 very hard. We usually mimic them (since we start our season right after they end theirs). They were hit by A strains (I believe H3). The trivalent vaccine has two A and one B strain. The quad has two A and two B. The B strains generally only matter once in a decade.

Although it's early in the season, I'm hoping to get my vaccine today. We are already seeing confirmed cases of A flu in Maine.
