hour emergency kits
What would you do if you were trapped in a elevator?
Since the buzz about the man who was trapped in a elevator for 41 hours. I had to ask? What would you do and would you think differently the next time you went on a elevator. As in: "A plan"; just in case.
Doesn't elevators have phones and fire alarms. I think they should design elevators so that if it gets stuck and your inside it can be controlled from inside the elevator and manually somehow bring it to the main floor of that building. Doesn't this make sense?
Perhaps even installing a emergency kit equipped with water, blanket and something to go pee in. lol!
contemplate the meaning of life or why
I spend time answering silly questions on yahoo answers

Betta fish emergency - Please help!?
My betta that I've had for a week has been darting all over the place and hitting things. He'll stop in an off kilter position for a little while, then he'll dart around again. He first started being really lethargic, and I planned on getting an ammonia test kit just in case if he didn't improve (I live an hour away from PetSmart). But I need it NOW. I need to change his water immediately also, but if I just took out water and added more, he'd go into shock because it wouldn't have time to heat up. It's about 12 a.m. now, and if he's still alive when I wake up, I'll get an ammonia test kit, ammonia neutralizer, and I'll change his water. Is there anything I can do right now that won't hurt him? I feel so bad for my fish. I feel like I did this to him. 
If your Betta is so distressed as to be showing this kind of behavior, he needs help now.
Did you add a water conditioner that removes both chlorine and chloramine to his water? If so, that's all you need now. It is very likely that after a week in his home, the ammonia is spiking. This is why aquariums need to be cycled.
Assuming you have water conditioner, just use tap water of the same temperature as his tank's for the water change. You'll want to change about 1/4 of his water, and be sure to add the conditioner to the new water before it's added to the tank.
If you don't have water conditioner, you can use bottled spring water. It has to be spring water, as other bottled waters are just filtered tap water, and so can still have chlorine and the like in them. Warm the water in a very clean pan, on the stove. The pan can not be any sort of non stick or coated kind. Stainless steel would be fine. Again, make sure the new water is the same temperature as you Betta's current temperature.
Once you've gotten this all sorted out, make sure you have your Betta in the proper environment, and that you start a cycle on his tank.
Here is what you need to know for your Betta to live a long and happy life:
1. A 5-gallon cycled ( http://www.firsttankguide.net/cycle.php and http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aquarium… )
tank is minimal for Betta health. Smaller tanks and bowls do not maintain a consistent temperature, and it's nearly impossible to keep healthy water conditions.
2. A filter is necessary in any tank in order to keep the water aerated and free of toxins. For Bettas it is best to set the filter flow to low, as they are not very strong swimmers. Another good option is a sponge filter.
3. A heater is essential. Bettas need warm steady temperatures of about 80F, to thrive. Constant fluctuation leads to stress, which inevitably leads to disease and often death. You can find an inexpensive heater for a small tank at any fish store.
4. In a 5-gallon or larger tank, weekly 25% water changes, using a gravel siphon are necessary. Water conditioner must be added to the new water before it is put in the tank to remove toxic chlorine, chloramine, metals, etc. Never change all of your Bettas water, as this shock your Betta, and ultimately weaken him.
5. Bettas enjoy a well planted aquarium, (use live or silk plants, plastic can tear their fins,) with a cave or two for exploring and resting.
6. Feed your Betta a good staple pellet or flake diet, substituting frozen foods such as brine shrimp and blood worms several times per week. Reserve one day per week for fasting.
When properly cared for, Bettas have been known to live for 10 years. I have personally known them live to for 6.
Good luck.
