For almost a week, all I felt like doing was crawling a corner and being alone and miserable. My Mom said I should take Cold FX. My wife handed me multi vitamins. My Grandma would have said don't do stupid stuff like run in the cold and rain and swim in the frozen ocean afterwards. Some friends say, "It's going around", as if it is 100% certain that everyone is going to get the same cold. Others say, "The kids drag home everything" as in you have kids, therefore colds are inevitable. While still others informed me that they'd not had a cold in 10 years!
