Business opportunity ..... design some funky/trendy inhaler covers .... remember the poo bags.... if they can make poo bags an aspirational lifestyle accessory, it can be done with inhaler covers...a different design in inhalers to see if he is more willing to use it in public......

Great until something goes wrong. Things go wrong with Mercs too.
It seems Mercedes went through a number of years producing cars with some quite poor reliability.
Which is a shame, as some of their older models were known for being able to run intergalactic mileages with no real issues.
I've heard that the newer cars are better, but of course really it's still too soon to tell.
We've been considering a low mileage used SL for Mrs McT, but have backed off the idea because of the reliability issue.
Now looking at BMW 6 series, new style Jag XK, etc, instead.
Was really pleasantly surprised at how reliable the newer Jags seem to be, with loads of high mileage success stories on the various online forums, and few known faults.... what a success story for British built cars.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Bit hard to do, you have to take the cap off it, give it a vigorous shake, stand/sit upright, breathe out, hold it to your mouth with the canister upwards (in front of your nose) and your hand's holding it (covering half your face), then you have to press/squirt while breathing in, twice, then breathe that down and decide if you're OK or not.CKhalvashi wrote: »

Oh, that sounds good. My sibling's house, sofa, bag, car are littered with inhalers.That is the idea behind the new inhaler as it is a different shape and can be pretty much hidden in the palm of the hand and only needs one inhale instead of two...he still isn't having any of it though.:wall:0 -

I told him to come up with something he would accept and send it off to the makers.....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

The new one he has, you slide one bit, slide another bit and just inhale sharply while sucking on the mouthpiece area...no need for shaking or timing it right with your breathing. It's round and if anyone has seen Afterearth, rather like the little device Jayden Smith has to use to get oxygen.We made it!

Just repotted 9 tomato plants into bigger pots.
How many tom plants in total do you have?
We have 4 big ones (in grow bags outside) and 4 little ones on our huge windowsill garden....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
