2. A computer
I didn't have one until I was 26 back in 1998. Now I don't know how I ever lived without one.

6. Youngster....
I remember not having a TV. Of course, I'm a serious geezer. Got my first computer in 1984, and haven't looked back since.

26. Well, that makes sense. I never liked the 64 at all.
It would have put me off computers, too.

My first computer was an IBM 1620, in 1964. Well...it belonged to the University, but I got to run programs on it. Or try to run programs.

8. I'm not saying this to be snarky - really I'm not.
I just can't do without oxygen. I feel real short of breath lately, and I don't like the feeling.

Carry on.

14. Have you seen or talked to your doctor? If you haven't you really should
shortness of breath is not a trivial matter.

10. Air.
and yes, there was one time I wasn't sure I was going to get it. Water is for swimming, drinking and paddliong in--not for breathing.

20. Tea
I love a cup or two in the morning to wake up and another in the afternoon to keep going.
Tea has some health benefits so I don't feel so bad about depending on it.

32. Yes, it is deadly sweet.
If you eat sugar and then have rice syrup, it is not sweet.

35. Probably music
When ever weird shit happens I reach for a record/CD/tape:)

Probably light up a big stinky joint after the tunes are on. Fuck the bastards keeping it illegal in this country. It is really getting old.

Where is Raygun buried? He needs a nice big dose of piss on his forehead:)
