The oxygen machine is to keep the blood level of oxygen up high enough to allow me to survive the few minutes that I quit breathing. Yes, it is a medical thing but I could go with out it although I wake up feeling al lot better with it.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-68283056938284161752013-10-06T13:21:55.534-05:002013-10-06T13:21:55.534-05:00The power was not off long eneugh to affect the fo...The power was not off long eneugh to affect the food in the frig.

This is a silly question but, what does this 'oxygen machine' do? Because at first I thought it was some medical thing to do with your breathing but when you said you turned it off and went back to bed, it didn't seem urgent or important. <br />And those boudin sausages sound very tasty.

He has solar panels and a generator. This outage didn't bother him any. And, I never had the French Canadien version so I don't know if they are the same. Since there is a lot of French blood in Lousiana I wouldn't doubt it.<br /><br />Jimdabob, Boudin and eggs, that is all one needs. . . mmmmm good!!Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-67009890145583962442013-10-05T15:14:33.839-05:002013-10-05T15:14:33.839-05:00Sounds good, believe I can smell it cracklin in th...Sounds good, believe I can smell it cracklin in the pan.

If I get a power outage, it will be my responsibility. However, I've a better track record than the utility. <br /><br />If Louisiana boudin sausage is anything like the French Canadien version, better set another plate. :)Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
