My uncle gave me a minigun and told me to clean up the neighborhood. Is that like the USA Flu in Asia? I am..........disturbed.

I went and got tested in April and turned up Positive for the Antibodies. I have never had any sickness, recently so I ask the Doctor what does this mean? He said ,Oh! you have the antibodies?? I am closing in on my 80th year on this earth and still don't really understand what testing positive really means?.........Dick "No balls, No blue chips."

It means that your immune system will recognize a viral infection of that type quickly, and destroy cells infected by it early on.
