My point was that opening a window to cold air is not the source of the cold virus. Your husband may be carrying it but not sickened by it, and he just passed it on to you.

Dana
My point is that exposure to cold temperatures suppresses the immune system, so the opportunities for viral infection increase. On top of that I use immune system suppressant for my condition from time to time when is over active, so it make it even worse.
Cold viruses can be dorment staying in your body inactive , and can activate itself in situations like that, or be triggered by a live virus from another person, viruses love cold temperatures and low humidity, where bacteria warm and humid.
And that is what I trying to explain to you.

I used to buy my herbs in a Herboristerie and collect many by my own and also grow them. We have here in France fortunately , till now very strict laws for those who sell herbal. So to buy in a Herboristerie is very safe and you get what is written on the package.
Have to try this with the vanilla. Becomes unacceptable with my pilgrimage to the biscuit shelf LOL And this new herb I have, taste really nasty.

My husband is also such a robust guy. During my stomach flue I ask him every hour if he really don't feel sick like me...No he don't .He was pretty fine. Also with cold and stuff he is very robust. His conclusion, he has no time to get sick , thats why :cautious:
That why I need my lil farm so I can grow my own botanic garden again. Growing stuff in pods make not as much fun anymore.

LOL my husband says the same.

Continue to take care of you Cath, I'm sorry that you are/were so sick. No fun at all. I had a very rough night last night myself so I'm THANKFUL that my work day consists of time on the computer and perhaps a nap this afternoon!

Healing Hugs to you

Thank you Richard, doing fine today, just my chest cleans itself still a little bit but that's normal , and my resting heart rate finally falled down this morning so it is a very good sign. I just came to conclusion that taking Tylenol or Theraflu only doubles the time of the healing process because it reduce the necessary fever to fight the virus as long as it is on the mild side.

Snowing today as hell , most of the cars vanished under the snow already as the wind blowing up the snow, predicted 18" to max 24" until tomorrow.

I hope everything is ok with you Richard !
Sending healing hugs back at ya ! stay safe my friend !

A very strange snow storm indeed. I saw it starting when I was coming home from running errands yesterday around 5:30pm, and it stayed pretty light up until I went to sleep around 1:30am this morning.

Then when I woke up around 10:30am, it was snowing heavily, and now it's tapered down to a very light snow again. From what I can see of the window sills, and tops of outside a/c units, we will have a large final amount of snow, because it was predicted it would last until early tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. What's really making a mess is the high volume winds the past few days. Not so bad when there's no precipitation, but with rain or snow, horrible.

It started yesterday here but it was like 3 inches at 1:30 am when I also went to sleep lol, in the morning not much so my husband went to work, but after 8 am it started to be crazy and continue until right now with heavy winds and fluffy snow. I have no idea how he come back home tonight, I see cars getting trapped on the little streets where nobody cleaned it . If it continues until 1am tonight it may be a lot, they said rain tonight after 1am but just new prediction. We see
I did not saw so much snow for a while , strange snow storm, and weather in general , next week back to 10F at night again .. The winter weather is shifting , every year later and later with very weird unstable pattern , in 7 weeks spring already.

Mother Nature has a huge front coming in where I live. The winds sounds incredible. I love weather like this because poor California needs all the rain she can get! And I don't care how we get it, rain, snow, what ever! BRING IT!

I'm definitely seeing a likeness Cath. ;)
Thank you dear, NOT planned , but the Nordic girl I used for reference had this typical facial bone structure that reminds me of her somehow. I love Sigourney Weaver since Alien 1 , not on the very pretty side but strong and powerful . Would be great for a Viking female character and other heroines. So decided to keep it and working on the base, more is better .. Dawn2 need versatility

I wasn't a fan of the Alien movies, but always liked her in other movies she starred in.

Like Avatar. I loved her in Avatar. I hear she's coming back for the sequels but since her character died in the last scenes of the first movie it will be interesting to see how they pull that off!

Yes!! I liked her character in Avatar, in fact I loved everything about that movie. I don't usually see movies twice in the theaters, as I often by the DVDs when they come out if I really like them, which I did with Avatar, but I couldn't resist going to the theater to see it a second time. Good thing I did, as I saw things I missed the first time around.

She never died just her body, she becomes a part of Eywa helped them to win the war. She may come back and guide them via secret tree to protect them again from a second invasion . As Col.Miles Quaritch said : Nothing's over while I'm breathing!
and because he survived according to rumors , it's gonna be interesting. I watched it like 10 times, the extended version was so much better.

Yea I heard they are bringing back the Colonial too, they needed a villain so they are making up some story about how he survived after his "walker" mech and he got destroyed. I guess you can't keep a bad man down! LOL

I watched the other day via my projector in big format and as usual I cried again on the last scene with Grace .. I am never tired of that movie, first time I watched I focused on all the amazing cgi effects, it took me really couple times to stop the cgi autopsy and focus on the story line and actual movie.
