The flu bug has struck. I've heard people talk about the flu season; I'm not sure whether this is in season, but who cares? As' far as each of us is concerned. it's an epidemic of one and that's serious -enough for us. Does this sound familiar?Rollin over is an ordeal for our aching muscles and oints: getting up seems out f the question. but someti s you have no choice. Through he day and night. you wear path from the bedroom t the bathroom Odd 'n ends The flu bug Sometimes moving 'faster than other times: sometimes not moving fast enough. •You crawl back into bed feeling exhausted. Sometimes during the day for a change of scene. you move to a comfortable couch taking your blankets. kleenex and pail with you. You watch -tv or listen to some music trying to take your mind off your churning stomach. You drift in and out of steep. The phone rings. "Willi or won't I?" you ask yourself. You decide you'd better. but by the time you pick up the receiver, the. caller hangs up. You drag yourself back to the couch. Half an hour later the phone rings again. "Oh to heck with it!" you mumble. You bury your head under the covers. Time passes slowly and you grow restless. Maybe your stomach would feel better if you had something to eat. you reason. Nothing goes better on an upset stomach than a nice hot bowi of soup with crackers or a MR: AND MRS.

Your stomach says no, but your mind, even though it's foggy, thinks it knows better If no one is around or if you can't con.anyone into serving you in bed, you limp feebly to the kitchen and do it your- self. It takes three times longer than it ordinarily would. The can opener won't work: you drop the spoon; yoti turn on the wrong burner and wonder why the darned soup isn't heating. You rest several times, leaning on the cupboard or sagging on a chair. Finally you sit down at the table in front of a steaming bowl. You look at the soup. Your stomach says it doesn't want it. but your common sense persists . You force the liquid past the lump in your throat, and you keep telling yourself it tastes good. You dump the dirty dishes into the sink and head for the .couch. Suddenly you make a detour as your stomach tells you. in no uncertain terms. it didn't want that soup. At night you drift off to sleep. assuring yourself that your flu is the twenty-four hour variety and in the morning you'll feel as good as new. If you don't feel any better next morning, you wonder how long this can go on. You're not even sure you can survive another day like the last one. I don't want to discourage my fellow sufferers any more than I want to discourage myself. but I can't help remembering my brother-in-law had the flu for two weeks. Usually when a,sked how he is. he replies, "60/10." During the flu seige, he described his condition as 10/90. And now we know what—, he meant. QUESTION Does quality have to cost more?
