One of the advantages of having my over-active immune system is that I NEVER catch anything contagious. Outside of the chicken pox when I was 11... Considering the auto-immune issues I've had over the years I would actually prefer to have a more normal system and catch things like colds instead. Glad to hear you've found a way to keep from catching them!

I guess what caught my attention about her the other day was that it was so extreme. I got it about the elevator button, but it is the first time I've seen someone who wouldn't even open the revolving door in the usual fashion. Her attire was also about 75 years out of date, which is probably what caught my attention initially. We all get through this world in the best way we can. I certainly have OCD tendencies of my own, they are just different than hers.
