colds are sick enough to not go to work if you don't feel like it / if you have some sick days up your sleeve. if we found a cure for the common cold... something else would rise up to take it's place.
i think a cold is your body's way of saying 'chill the f*ck out'. i have managed not to get sick... as in... not even a cold... for the last couple years. since quitting smoking. quitting smoking helped... but mostly... when i feel sick coming on... i make chicken soup and hunker down and sleep for 13 hours and then it goes away. i am lucky that i can do that, though. i expect i would have got sick if i couldn't have.
