Default Germs!

Damn! I'm pretty sure I have cold germs.

Last week, someone with a cold used my office computer. I even sprayed it with a bit of hand sanitizer when she was done, but I think I still have been the receiver of said germs. Add in the granddaughter with a cough, and the grandson with a runny nose, this weekend, and I'm doomed!

I faithfully have been taking Zicam, since Saturday, as I've had good luck with it in the past, and have not had a nasty cold in more than a year. I'm not sure it's working though...sneezing and sniffles have been the order of the day.

Nasty colds pi$$ off the asthma, and I end up being a walking pharmacy. I have too much to do to be sick this week. Hope the Zicam and positive thinking work!

So, watch out people. We're all starting to be indoors more often, and the cold germs might be heading your way. Get the hand sanitizer ready.

I feel your pain. I'm surrounded by a roomful of germ sponges almost every day.
In spite of that, I've never had the flu in my life and usually only catch one cold a year.

It might be the change in the air lainey bringing out new allergens.
Second son and I are both stuffed up, borderline head cold.

I'd be less suspicious of the coworker than the walking germ factories known as grandchildren.

No, not allergies....don't have those.

The sneezing computer user came before the time with the germ carrying grandchildren, so I'm betting on those germs being the ones that may be invading me.

I've never had the flu either, but I do get a flu shot. Rick had the flu once, I've never seen him so washed out with absolutely no energy at all.

I've been lucky haven't had a cold for almost 1 1/2 years, so I won't complain.........well, not too much anyway.

If all they did was touch your computer, can you imagine what Bass must pick up in his travels.

Hey as long as he showers before he comes to our house, it's all good. Oh, and he can't come to our home unless it's been 7-10 days since he was in Woonsocket, RI.
