What's the longest you've had a cold?
I'm on week number THREE now with this one.

Week one: Sniffles, runny nose, sneezing.

Week two: Sore throat.

Now on week three: Phlegm-ey cough.

I hate this.

1. Have you been to see your doctor? You may have sinusitis and need antibiotics -- I had this
before (it began with an allergy attack) and it latest for a long time. But that aside I hope you feel better soon.

4. When my son started going to day care, I got five colds in five weeks.
During the six months he went to day care I had at least twenty colds. My wife had at least ten.

We took him out of day care and my wife stopped working full time.

We get sick much less often.

5. Three weeks is about the limit...
...though a little coughing can go on longer than that.

6. Three weeks...then I got better while the kids had it, and then they gave it back to me
Las winter was the worst winter ever. Apparently they guessed wrong on the flu vaccine last year, and the CoffeeFamily got our asses handed to us.
