I smoke too. I get one cold a year in late winter and it's a slight sore throat, runny nose and a brief fever. I shake it off in a few days and that's it. Haven't had the flu in over 20 years and never get a shot. I'm working on 8 years worked with no sick time and have 3 days sick off (that flu) in 24 years at my present job.

I'm probably building up for a doozey.

I had 3 days off 8 years ago for a work accident (fell down wet steps) but I don't count that because I wasn't allowed to come back until all the tests were done.

I got sick in November for the first time in like 8 years. I should be good to go for another 7.
