Sadly, being disabled, I have literally been in this situation twice. It ain't fun.

Me too. It hasn't been disabilities that have floored me. It's been vertigo. One minute I'm sitting in a chair picking a lock, the next I'm doing a ground loop and find myself in the corner of the room. Get up, head for the door, end up in the same corner. Comes and goes. Doc says I should grow out of it in my seventies. That's encouraging... I guess.

Yup, like the kids who think it's okay to leave doors open when the air conditioning that I didn't have for 25 years finally gets turned on.

Or the kids who think we Auld Pharts are clueless on tech stuff. WE invented the fancy tech gadgets they take for granted and enjoy.

I'm gonna have to experiment with this ,, for the heck of it ,,,
But in Boot Camp ,, when we were out in the field one night ,, when we were out on our 7-10 day combat field training and force marches ,, we all had one of them old canvas tent halves ,,, you had to have a partner with another tent half to have a full tent. One night it rained like shit,,,, all night ,, and cold ,,, me and my buddy got the bright idea of .making some coffee in our canteen cups ,, it was around 0200 ,, cold ,,, and pouring down rain ,, ,, we stuck our canteen cups outside the tent ,, let the rain fill them up with water,, made ourselves a little pit with some rocks to set our canteen cups on ,, inside the tent. Once the cups were full ,, we took the old heat tabs ,, lit them up ,, and said to each other that we might just get some heat in our tents as well .
Yep ,,, we thought we was the smartest boots in the platoon. Till them tabs got to burning good ,, and we started gagging to death on the fumes.
We had to pour the water on the heat tabs ,, cover them with dirt ,,, sling open both ends of our tent ,, to get fresh air so we could breath ,,, coughing and gagging the whole freeking time,,, praying we didn't wake up one of the DI's ,, so we didn't get our asses PT'd at 0230 in a freeking rain storm .
We lucked up and lived thru it.
And funny thing about ,,, after that night ,,, I never have a shit about coffee ,, till maybe 5-10 yrs ago.
But ,, the whole point of the story was ,,, maybe them crayons aren't as toxic as them old heat tabs.

The damn things are lethal. I had a box of the tabs issued with my TA 50 gear. When I left the Fort, they were still in my locker.
