A few of my friends with SMA have had some health problems lately. Today, in an effort to appear sensitive, I suggested to one of them that we should start a pool to place bets on which one of us will meet our demise first. She thought it was a great idea. I advised her to put her money on me, but she would have none of it. “You’re going to be puffing on your vent long after the rest of us are gone,” she said.
I’m not so sure about that. When the coming economic collapse forces all of us into the countryside to scavenge for food, I’m going to have a hell of a time finding a working electrical outlet to keep said vent puffing away.
The economic crisis gives us ideas we could never have had before. Really, it’s inspiring in many ways. What a comic sight to see people from big towns scavengeing for food on fields etc.
The more I hear of he financial crisis, the more it starts amusing me, while I never look at what it has caused to my own finances so far. But then I am fortunate, since I am not very rich and I ‘ve spent a lot on books and paintings and clothes in the past, which didn’t go down fifty per cent! So will Wall Street be closed next monday?And all the other places of stock exchange as weel?A seldom -seen but slightly funny detail in economic history!
If you’d stop blogging however, this wouldn’t amuse me at all. I wouldn’t laugh then. It would be sth. serious. if the 19th Floor came to its final page.
I wonder how many of those portable solar panels for charging cell phones and laptops you’d need to daisy-chain together to power a vent…
I’m on a vent. I have 16 hours of battery time and I’m a damn good shot…LOL.
