What's your cure for the common cold?

There is no cure, of course -- only things you can do to minimise that icky bunged-up/dried-out and stale feeling. Besides drinking plenty of fluids, I find ibuprofen works exceedingly well in reducing not only the discomfort (especially if throat soreness is present) but also the rhinitis swelling. I also use a nasal spray (Otrivine/Otravine) which does a similar but more immediate job. And Halls Extra Strong Mentholyptus are always good for a pick-me-up.

Other than that, there's nothing one can do.

Do you have a regular workout routine?  What's your favorite form of exercise?

Ha! I don't exercise at all! Well, I do like walking, but I haven't had much time or motivation for that lately, much to my dismay.

I'm in good health, but Lord, am I unfit! And what's more, I have to go for a physical soon (for my life insurance policy) so I just know I'll get a stern lecture from the doctor about that.
