I said VST3, 62 bit.  A couple of bits may have dropped here or there.  We'll look under the couch and see if we can find them.

It might very well be a Florida thing that's going around.......I've also had a nasty cold/cough as well since last Monday (no puking/nausea etc....)........it's some sort of ViruST2.......every bit of it.  

Nah.  I'm out here near Pedro-land and I had it a couple of weeks ago.  So did one of my tenants and a couple of friends too.  I've still got the lingering cough but I think that will stop soon once all bits of lung have been expelled.

Wow!! Easily the worst cold I've had in 5 years.  I'm past the peak of symptoms, into the hacking up junk stage..  Bleh!!  Yuck!!  Smack!!  Holy harrowing rhinovirus batman!!
 
I've been totally down for the count since I made this fred..  Taking another day off to clean myself up and take it easy.

Hang in there. 

 They get colds in Florida too?
 
 Hope you feel better soon. I know it's gross but hacking up that stuff is generally the last stage of having it.
 
 During the heating season sometimes humidity levels inside homes get wacked and this causes all kinds of throat and sinus issues.

I thought the same thing (until I moved to FL)........I've never experienced this kind of colds/coughs/flu symptoms when living in the west coast. At least twice a year (in FL), I'd get some sort of disabling cold/cough that has me bedridden for at least a few days.......normally, I'd be able to go to work and generally be able to handle these colds, but not here. Same thing my family experienced.
 
It must be the water.

Well, it did get all the way down to 70 degrees you know.

I live in one of those old buildings that has ancient radiators that can't be adjusted. They're so freaking hot that even in the coldest days of winter I would have to have my windows open and even then I'd be walking around sweating in my boxers. And the air got so dry my throat would constantly be screwed and the skin on my hands always cracking...
 
So last fall I had the radiators shut off entirely. It was quite an ordeal because the valves didn't have screw caps on them anymore, and also turning them off somehow created a leak which affected the apartment downstairs. They had to dig into the floor and replace a pipe and everything. Still, I feel so much better having no heating in my apartment. I'm on the top floor and the apartments below me are heated, so I get a little heat rising from them. Even on the coldest days it's perfectly warm enough in here. 
 
I don't really want to run an humidifier because they are such a pain. I had one of those funky Air-O-Swiss ones and even with a new filter in the tank, it would leave a thin film of dust on everything. Plus the nozzle which directed the mist would grow fungus on it really quickly, and I was constantly cleaning the reservoir. I just get the feeling they're not so healthy. 

Probably not a problem for you now, sharke, but when we lived in Germany we had radiators.
Mom bought these ceramic things you hang on them and fill with water to add moisture to the air. Seemed to work pretty well.
