Cold Bug Making Appearance

I have two Facebook Friends battling bad colds this morning. Jeanne Helstrom reports that the minor cold she had last week has super-sized this week. Then, Kerri Thoreson reports: "Almost dawn before I finally slept. Can't even recall which day this is for the cold/cough countdown but I'm soooooo ready for it to be gone. Dark circles under the eyes are never a good fashion statement." I'm still percolating along w/o a cold or sinus problems (although I'm beginning to note who has colds and taking my hand-washing routine more seriously).

Question: Have you had a cold or worse this fall?
