I'm coming down with my 4th or 5th cold in the past 6 months WHYYYYYYYYY
At first I attributed it to a nasty (short term 4 month long) pot smoking habbit, which I dropped in november, but since then I've caught 3 more colds
I eat healthy I excersize I don't go outside naked if its less than 40 degrees out and I don't have any horrible diseases that will weaken my immune system.
I need tricks to get over it ASAP!
and I mean ASAP!
Tonight I'll try the suggestion of taking a super hot bath, putting on sweatshirt + sweatpants and sleeping under all the covers for 10 hours and sweating the motherfucker out.
Ever since I got mono in high school I've had 2-3 really nasty colds every winter. The only thing so far that has worked to combat them is being pregnant Heightened immune system FTW.

Wellness formula, the moment you start to feel sick pop 4 and take 4 every 2 hours for 8 hours... you will never get sick, wait until you actually are sick and they will cut the recovery time in half, take them at the first hint and you are bulletproof.
The first duty of a patriot is to question the government
Getting over it is just push fluids...chicken soup etc...
Prevention is easy...wash your hands more...every couple hours or so plus before meals and after toilets...use soap...not necessarily antibacterial...it is probably best to use regular soap which weakens but doesn't insta-kill bacteria...That way your system is exposed to a more easily killed, live form of the virus/bacterium...you develop immunity this way...antibacterial soaps kill the germ so your body doesn't produce antibodies...Wash thoroughly sing twinkle twinkle little star (to yourself) while you wash your hands...Thats about how long it takes to wash them well...
wipe down your work area once a week or so fairly thoroughly including telephones keyboards etc...use a weak antibacterial like lysol etc...
Use the same cleaning regime any place you spend tons of time...car/desk at home etc...
Antibacterial wipes lotions soaps should only be used to clean areas during /just after colds to prevent cross contamination of others etc...
heh, but seriously, I truly believe the best way to stay healthy is to spend each day living the best you can, I know it is bloody well cliche and corny, but take time to smell the flowers. We all have a shared EQ junkiage in our past, ignore it, and enjoy life instead.
But in the meantime, just remember that anything that does not kill you will make you stronger.

Cold MD. It works wonders. Lots of vitamin C plus a few other vitamins. Boosts immune system and supposedly makes you get over a cold 94% faster. Works well for me.
I'd recommend a lot more water/clear liquids, and some form of Multivitamin every day. I personally recommend either GNC's Ultra Mega Gold on the high end, or Men's One a Day at the lower end.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
Does your wife stalk you on here that you have to refer to her as beautiful, or sexy, or hot, or amazing, or are you just trying to convince yourself?
Give it a fucking rest already. No one cares unless she's Jessica Alba, and she's not, so shut the hell up about it.

Got the flu for first time in many years last week. I ate ice cream and Frosted Flakes the first day or two. By the time I made it out the door to get some chicken soup, it was just about gone.
Drinking lots of water/liquids is key. Don't forget to eat Cacao! Avoid stress = less illness as well, be it psychological or other.
As for avoiding being sick, don't let coworkers breath in your face, don't put your hands anywhere near your mouth unless they're clean...can't believe how many times I see people opening door knobs, etc and then reaching for an open bowl of M&Ms, popcorn or something else that they can dig their germy paws into, sitting out for people to eat. Depending on the ventilation system where you work, there's almost no chance of avoiding something airborne at some point. I feel extremely sorry for anyone that has to share their workspace.

Yes, when you sneeze\snort out that 1/4 cup snail that was filling your entire sinus cavity

Personally, I think it's cool that he's proud of his wife. Everyone should be that fortunate.
I completely agree, it's great that he is proud of her. All men should be proud of their wives, whether you think he has good taste is completely irrelevant.
Others covered the fact well, but you need to grow beyond your hatred.
My wife is my world, she truly does rock, and she is intelligent, talented, has an amazingly good heart and on top of that she is incredibly sexy with her 5'10, size 4 sexy ass. I feel bad that you do not understand why I am like I am about her, because it means no one has ever made you feel like she makes me feel, and you are really missing out on something.
It is not a boastful statement, nor a silly one to say I love her and that she is the best thing in the world. Nor am I basing my feelings on not knowing any better because I knew a bad marriage for a decade. The guy who married my first wife was 200 lbs, no body fat, cheerful, smiling and loved the world. The guy who left her a decade later was a bloated ass pathetic fucking loser who hated everything and weighed 360lbs.
But Stacy is a remarkable human being, I loved her when we were kids, and finding her during my divorce, of all times, most likely saved my life. She knew I was broken when we met again, and she loved me back with a ferocity that overcame any problems. I did not intentionally set out to change my appearance, smoking habits, or life habits, but she made me enjoy life and I did all that as a natural side effect of feeling positive when I had forgotten what it was like to look forward to the next day. She cured me of just wanting to eat and die. I still have sucky days like everyone, but I know she is there and loves me and it makes it all easier.
So if her existence changes what I say, and alters the advice I would otherwise give, that really is okay, because she is the half of me that I nearly died without. If you hate me for being happy, I can hang with that. I do not think she has ever read VV to be honest, I doubt she ever will so my responses here match what I am thinking not what anyone wants me to say.
I understand your angle of attack though, and admittedly I would have agreed with you a mere 4 years and change ago. I would have thought that this kylere guy was like the christian hypocrites who drive down the highway doing 90 in a 65, in their minivan with the "in case of rapture" bumper sticker and fish logo to church, while blabbering on the cell phone about how others were not good enough of christians to come to the same church. So that is a given, and no biggy, but I really hope you get a chance to grow beyond that, and that you recognize that partnerships that strengthen both people do exist and you do not miss out by not believing in them.

OK, referring to your wife as "sexy" is fine, but if she is 5'10 and a size 4, you need to put some meat on her bones. That is waaaay too skinny and not something to brag about.

Get the Zicam spray, it tastes 100 times better than those nasty quick dissolve tablets. You gotta eat that shit exactly as indicated, or it really doesn't work.

Wednesday I could feel a cold coming on...you know that feeling. Yesterday it was a full blown head/chest cold. I stopped and picked up the Wellness Formula and started it yesterday afternoon. I will give my unbiased report soon!
Heightened immune system FTW.
