Went to see the grandkids Saturday, not worrying about my son's warning
that they had colds. I should be immune Just got up after 16 hours in
bed. Worse cold I can remember. Throat still hurts like hell, and still
all stuffed up. I need to rethink this.

Never heard that theory, but according to the following link, there are over 105 virus types
that cause cold symptoms. If your theory is correct, you still have a couple of years to go. ;-)
