I respect him, but i really try hard to filter my news out for only techical stuff as I dont know him personally.

As I type she is actually at home talking to a lender to see how much we qualify for on a home loan. I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work making web standards the new "standard" in web design. I've been reading your book and it's helped open my eyes to how much easier things can be. So thank you. -stay creative- My wife and I are just entering the market for buying a house. As I type she is actually at home talking to a lender to see how much we qualify for on a home loan.

The reason I never take antipyretics is that a fever makes the body an uncomfortable environment for many pathogens and the extra temperature triggers a boost of white blood cell production. Hot foods serve as an artificial fever (the "curry sweats"). Which is all a long-winded way of saying "munch a few jalapeños and you'll be fine".

Stress=lack of sleep=easy target for colds. Its one big cycle. Sleep and fluids will help get rid of the cold. I’m sure the bid on the house and the report are contributing to the cold.

Whenever I feel a cold coming on, I grab a bag of these, take three out of the bag, chew the first two, then let the third one sit and dissolve in my mouth (make sure you get the ones with real peppermint oil - the artiifical peppermint oil won't do any good). And yes, I happen to be susceptible to head and chest colds. I started taking these mints two years ago and I have yet to have a major "outbreak" of a cold or flu yet. Also make sure that you drink plenty of fluids - I keep four one liter bottles of water (old "Dasani" bottles work wonders for this) in my fridge year round - buy the bottles, drink the water, rinse out the bottles (sterilize them) and then fill them with tap water and stick them in the fridge overnight. I drink two of them a day, sometimes three (and no, I don't drink soda either). I'll also mix them up with apple, cranberry and orange juice from time to time (just make sure to watch the vitamin C intake levels). As for the bid on the house, good luck with it and best wishes.

For me, that almost always means sinus infection, while for my husband it tends to be bronchitis. You might want to think about asking a doctor. And good luck with the new home. It's a little nerve-wracking at that stage, but totally worth it. I’m with Jason — a cold that lasts longer than 10 days is a possible sign of trouble.

Then again colds by themselves don't usually last two weeks...sure you don't have a sinus infection or something Jeffrey?
