Dear sir or madam,

Enclosed please find one (1) pair lungs (male), which are no longer performing according to the specifications. In fact these lungs have never performed according to the specifications, but their flaws are becoming rapidly more apparent.

As the original owner of these lungs, I can assure you that they have been treated with the utmost care and respect. Their poor performance is a workmanship defect, and not a result of accidental or deliberate injury. As such, they qualify for replacement under your "lifetime warranty" policy.

Regards,

Because SERIOUSLY, lungs, WHAT THE HELL. If it's over seventy-five outside you complain about the heat and humidity, so I figured that today you'd be good with the gorgeously cool sixty-five degree weather. But NO, you have to go all drama-prone on me, freezing up and gasping for air. You'd think the Snow Queen had shoved a splinter of ice through my chest and missed my heart.

If you're interested in trying acupuncture, I'll happily help you find a decent practitioner in the area.

Possibly, though I'm not clear on what exactly is going on.

I'll see what I can find.

Ah--if it's a form of asthma, then acupuncture and Chinese herbs can probably help. Cold is a pathogenic factor in Chinese Medicine, BTW (as is Heat), so there's that as well. Speaking with someone you're interested in scheduling with can confirm this for you, too.

I'll take a look and see what I can find. You in VA, right? Is the DC area in general okay, or are there specific places you'd prefer to drive to a practitioner?

Maybe it's a Snow Queen in training and the lack of winter is throwing her off.

Air quality also affects sensitive lungs. A good site to check your local air quality forecast is: airnow.gov.

So, my first mental association was with the cut scene from FFVIII... which, let's be fair, was almost the only good thing about FFVIII.

But then my free-association took over.
"They say you are a snow queen, but honey I don't think that's true..."

Obviously, someone needs to do a mashup of these two things.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
