The new one’s not so bad, although I don’t know that it gives the same rush.

Oh, I have about three unused ones! But I’ve been hoarding them for about a year ’cause I’ve been waiting for this armageddon. Can’t ride a bike without ‘em.

I learned about this when I went to my doc at Presby. He gave me the old orange one. It tastes like Pine Sol (not that I know what Pine Sol tastes like…) I miss the white one and the blue one as well. So sad….aerosol tastes so good—especially when you can’t breath.

oh snap- i just read they are more expensive even if you have insurance, which i don’t, because there is no generic. looks like if i want one for christmas this year i might have to chose between that or a new coat.

oh noes! this is terrible news. my mom actually gave me one in my christmas stocking last year (and a jar of mayonaise as for my birthday once, but that’s beside the point.) no more rescue inhaler? when we visit friends with cats (and they all seem to have ‘em) WHO WILL RESCUE US NOW!
