DEAR ABBY DEAR ABBY: I have been married to "Andrew" for five years. I consider him to be my best friend. We have known each other for six years. I am 38, and Andrew is 33. My problem is Andrew thinks I'm 34.
I didn't exactly tell him my true age way back when, and he believes I am four years younger than I actually am. We want children, and I know that this is the time to come clean. But I'm not sure how my husband will react when he hears the news, and I'm afraid he may leave me. I have prayed about this, and it seems the best course is the truth. What should I do? YOUNGER THAN MY YEARS DEAR YOUNGER: It would be better to tell your husband the truth while your biological clock is still ticking, rather than wait until the alarm goes off and your ovaries shut down.

The rhinovirus is the most common and is highly contagious.
Symptoms usually develop between one and three days after exposure to a cold virus and can include runny nose, watery eyes, cough, sneeze, congestion and sore throat. As a general rule, fever does not occur with the common cold. There are countless ways to come into contact with a virus. Sharing objects such as a drinking glass or cup, droplets from a contagious individual sneezing near you and hand-to-hand contact are at the top of the list. Consider that someone with a cold touches his or her mouth or nose and then opens, a public door.
You follow behind and touch that doorknob, exposing yourself to the very germs you try so hard to avoid. This is one reason why most supermarkets now place sanitizing wipes near their grocery carts. Antibiotics are ineffective in treating the common cold. While -counter products. may lessen your symptoms, there is no cure.
