It's that time of year. Snot factory season. My current cold is mostly nasal and hasn't sunk into my lungs yet but I am going through tissues as if they were. . .tissues. How about you? What bug do you have this winter?

None so far, thankfully....**knock on wood** Or knock on Bridgier LOL**

The only cold I had in 2011 was in December 3 days after I attended a funeral at the Lutheran Church. I had not been to this church the entire year. I immediately upped my intake of Zinc and Jamison and it lasted only 2 days.

In prior five years, I had a cold and/or sinus infection on and off through most of the winter and early spring. My conclusion is that going to church is harmful to my physical health.

I use cold-eeze which is a zinc lozenge and it has always helped and shortened the duration of the cold. I think the Jamison helps too.

Both Steve and I have tried zinc and we trade shorter colds for upset stomachs. There seems to be no free lunch for us.

Nothing so far this year. We've all been healthy.

Damn, Ammorette, it seems like you are always sick.

I had a cold that lasted less than a week in early March. Nothing since then, with the exception of a few bouts of very short term stomach flu (and the fact that I have been cleaning out my freezer and eating some 5-8 year old packages of venison is supected to be the source of that).

It felt like -35 the other morning.

Hal wins the prize!
