No, actually it was helpful. Thanks. I knew the part about doing what
makes me feel better, and that's what matters in the long run. In a lot
of ways, I'm lucky. I've never cared for coffee or caffinated soft
drinks. (I'm normal when it comes to chocolate.) I can't imagine
wanting alcohol when I'm sick and muzzy headed in the first place. I
like milk but have an easy time giving it up when sick because of the
aforementioned stickiness.

As someone who has trained to be a chef, I'm in the habbit of washing my
hands several times a day, and that's drastically reduced the number of
colds I catch.
