The last time I had the flu was... 1995, I think. My school nurse gave me colorful Tums for my stomach pain and I puked a rainbow into one of the waste baskets in the office. When a kid saw me waiting to be picked up, he told me I was just making it look worse than it really was, so I showed him the vomit in the trash. He became grossed out and walked off immediately. I didn't even know that kid. Who was he to tell me how bad I felt? Now I'm mad again and I hope he has only a somewhat merry Christmas this year to cheer myself up.
I never get shots. Not for the flu nor anything else. I seem to only suffer from a sore throat once or twice a year and as someone who can talk two-to-three times more than the average individual, I'd say (and type!) that makes up for not having the flu.

Funny that.
When I get sick I just see it as an excuse to drink hot chocolate all day, it's generally quite pleasant apart from nearly ripping my nose off sneezing.

Any day is a fine day for hot chocolate in my book. Sometimes I like to add hot cocoa mix to my coffee.
