http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/28/iron.lung.death.ap/index.html
Poor woman was in an early 20th century medical device, the Iron Lung, from three years old, died this week after a power failure aged 61.
The reason I post this isn't because of the hilarious nature of it's death but it is to express my condolences to Bubba.
You see, this was his wife.
It was the only woman who never left him.
Until now of course, but that's only because the family were too retarded to work teh generator or the TERTIARY BACKUP SOURCE HAND CRANK AFFAIR.
EPIC FUCKING FAIL OR WHAT?
For almost 60 years, Dianne Odell lived inside a 7-foot-long metal tube, unable to breathe outside it but determined not to let it destroy her spirit.
Dianne Odell chats with her mother, Geneva, via an angled mirror above her iron lung in February 2007.
1 of 2
From her 750-pound iron lung, she got a high school diploma, took college courses and wrote a children's book about a "wishing star" named Blinky.
"I've had a very good life, filled with love and family and faith," she said in 1994. "You can make life good, or you can make it bad."
Odell, 61, died Wednesday when a power failure shut off electricity to the tube and stopped the pump drawing air into her lungs.
Family members were unable to get an emergency generator working after a power failure knocked out electricity to the Odell family's residence near Jackson, about 80 miles northeast of Memphis, brother-in-law Will Beyer said.
"We did everything we could do, but we couldn't keep her breathing," Beyer said. "Dianne had gotten a lot weaker over the past several months, and she just didn't have the strength to keep going."
Odell, who contracted polio when she was 3 years old, lived with her parents, Freeman and Geneva Odell, and their house was equipped with an emergency generator designed to fire up immediately in a power failure.
"But for some reason, it didn't come on," Beyer said.
Family members even tried an emergency hand pump attached to the iron lung. "Everyone knew what we were supposed to be doing," Beyer said. "It just wasn't working."
Capt. Jerry Elston of the Madison County Sheriff's Department said emergency crews could do little to help. The local power company reported spotty power outages in the area because of storms.
Odell was afflicted with "bulbo-spinal" polio three years before a polio vaccine was discovered and largely stopped the spread of the crippling childhood disease.
Her care was provided by her parents, other family members and aides provided by a nonprofit foundation.
"Dianne was one of the kindest and most considerate people you could meet. She was always concerned about others and their well-being," said Frank McMeen, president of the West Tennessee Health Care Foundation, which helped raise money for equipment and nursing assistance for Odell.
Odell accepted her life with grace, McMeen said.
"Everyone she encountered came to her because they cared about her," he said, "so she grew up in her 61 years thinking every person is good."
Odell's iron lung, similar to those used during the U.S. polio epidemics that peaked in the 1950s, was a cylindrical chamber with a seal at the neck. She lay on her back with only her head exposed and made eye contact with visitors through an angled mirror. She operated a television set with a small blow tube and wrote on a voice-activated computer.
The positive and negative pressures produced by the machine forced air into her lungs and then expelled it.
Iron lungs were largely replaced by positive-pressure airway ventilators in the late 1950s that give users much more freedom of movement. But a spinal deformity from the polio kept Odell from wearing a more modern portable breathing device.
Joan Headley of Post-Polio Health International in St. Louis said that about 30 people in the United States still rely on iron lungs but that few users are confined to them all the time. No one keeps records, she said, on the longest confinement.
Caregivers could slide Odell's bedding out of her iron lung for basic nursing care but only briefly, McMeen said.
Though Odell could not leave the iron lung, she was able to be moved in the machine. For her 60th birthday, in February 2007, friends and family held a party for her, with about 200 guests, at a downtown hotel in Jackson, a town of about 50,000 residents.
"She had a 9-foot birthday cake, and she had letters ... from people all over the country," McMeen said.

I was thinking something more erotic than that, for me.

Method, Scourge and even JonnyX I've gone rounds with and yet have ended up on decent terms with all of them.
Sure Method's gay, Scourge is a coward and JonnyX is a senile stalker but none of them match your uncanny ability to stay on my nerves ad infinitum.
I guess it's one of your talents kind of like being able to craft shitty, 4-line posts about soccer that DON'T get flamed off the front page.

it's good to have a bit of drama now and then and oathmeal is such a tool he falls for it everytime.
at the risk of sounding extremely gay everytime he has 'taken on' either method, scourge, myself or even jonnyx/greening he's exploded, made himself look a prick and ended up banned.
he's such a tool it's not funny.
same reaction for over two years now, odd considering how much he's 'grown and matured'.

Berty you confuse me.
Either you're a somewhat decent human being capable of empathy and understanding or you're just as maladjusted and overly concerned with the trials of others as that callous bitch Apollo.
In either event, the common denominator here is Apollo's inability to allow people to forget about what mistakes they've made in their past.
-------------------------------------------
Your personal posts weren't mistakes, mate. Seriously. You are who you are and that's fine. You recognise the flaws in your charachter, and we all have flaws, so being aware of them is a good thing.
You are a dickhead though. We both know that. You get angry and that's where you run into difficulty. Your confrontation here with Apollo for instance.
Apollo is a funny guy. There's no getting away from it, he is. Yet here you are bickering with him when you could be having a laugh, when you should be having a laugh. You don't need to fight everyone, or anyone on this website.
I meant what I said when I reckon you've got it in you to be a quality person. Stop letting the anger, the vindictivness, the grudges, control you and you'll be halfway there. After that you can focus on the tough part: laying to rest those things which have caused you to feel that anger in the first place.

Also he DID write all that stuff about himself which means he isn't completely clueless; he has a degree of self awareness. That's good intentions and potential right there.

"""
However...I truly think I've lived for myself and no one else these past 8 years. I've always thought of the world in terms of my place in it. I guess I never thought that things would ever matter to me if they involved the welfare of others...because, I thought, that's THEM and I'm ME.
I'm beginning to realize that this sort of egotistical thinking is horribly immature. It also causes a lot of anxiety because it doesn't leave room for the inclusion of others -- I end up feeling very alone and alienated because I only think about myself, pushing others away. Hopefully turning 29 and 30 will offer change in that regard. """"

He's boorish is all but I genuinly believe there's a good person under his skin. He has some good qualities.
I don't believe in writing people off, Apollo, and Oathmeal is no exception. I reckon with some correction he can turn it all around.

Positive pressure ventilation systems are now more common than negative pressure systems. Positive pressure ventilators work by blowing air into the patient's lungs via intubation through the airway; they were used for the first time in Blegdams Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark during a polio outbreak in 1952.[3] It proved a success and soon superseded the iron lung all over Europe.
The iron lung now has a marginal place in modern respiratory therapy. Most patients with paralysis of the breathing muscles use modern mechanical ventilators that push air into the airway with positive pressure. These are generally efficacious and have the advantage of not restricting patients' movements or caregivers' ability to examine the patients as significantly as an iron lung does. However, negative pressure ventilation is a truer approximation of normal physiological breathing and results in more normal distribution of air in the lungs. It may also be preferable in certain rare conditions, such as Ondine's curse, in which failure of the medullary respiratory centers at the base of the brain result in patients having no autonomic control of breathing. At least one reported polio patient had a spinal deformity that caused the use of mechanical ventillators to be contraindicated.[4] Thus, there are patients who today still use the older machines, often in their homes, despite the occasional difficulty of finding the various replacement parts.
this was god telling her to get with the program.

I suffer from severe mental disturbances and finding someone normal who can stomach that fact is simply asking too much. All I can do is pacify my carnal urges by lying to women enough to gain their trust, then by taking advantage of their companionship before I sever ties with them completely. While they flail and writhe seeking answers for my actions, I simply sit back and bask in the attention. When it ends, I find it easy to move on in most cases, but in those cases where I had a bit too much invested in them (as opposed to having them invested in me), the separation becomes much more involved and emotionally bloody. So then do I just nix the idea of dating altogether? Give up on finding someone with whom I can feel comfortable and maybe even happy? Well if I can't find happiness in any other aspect of my life, how can I expect that I'll find it in a relationship?
