You could tell her "(Love is like)Oxygen" and then sing her the rest of the song lyrics.
It's a thought.
Tell her to stay away from all gardeners. They are known oxygenophiles. Plants! Their plan for world domination continues 
Oooh, does she know about dihydrogen monoxide? http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/dhmo.htm
Holy man. I had no idea this was a Problem. I've been addicted for about 27 years now, and NO ONE TOLD ME!!!
(On a related note, my friends tell me I'm addicted to water, because I always have a bottle near me and drink way more than my 64 ounces a day. We have massive debates about whether or not that's possible. None of THEM had the temerity to tell me about my oxygen problem. What a bunch of enablers.)
Your poor mom. First she gets an "apparently permanent medical condition," then she finds out that her acquaintances are idjiots.
I'm not sure which is the worse affliction.
Tell her about the oxygen bars that exist in California. That should cheer her up. Just think, flavored oxygen.
Oh man, she'd better be careful. First the oxygen, then the water, then the whole using-the-bathroom thing.
Before you know it she'll want to eat on a regular basis, too!
Clearly, she has an addictive personaly.
Oh yes, and her friend's a retard.
And so am I, seeing I can't spell "personality". Could you just cut and paste that over there for me? Thanks so much.
Oxygen addiction is a terrible thing, especially if you subscribe to the Accelerated Living Through Pure Oxygen theory of my late mother. When she found out that, as a jet pilot, I would spend every flight breathing 100% oxygen, she was distressed to tears: since that's about six times more oxygen than ordinary air contains, my body would live (and therefore age) six times faster every time I flew. She urged me to pursue shipboard duty instead and keep my lungs nourished with the healthy, oxygen-rationed briny stuff (which, she believed, would also tinge my speech with a nice salt-on-the-tongue Charleston drawl).
She always believed I had purchased dearly my times of exhiliration among the clouds: for each hour, a six-hours-earlier appointment with the Green Ripper.
When, like Sam, I used to "slip the surly bonds of earth", I breathed liquid oxygen (LOX in military jargon; does not go well with bagels)which was ice cold,delicious and definately addictive.
I just got this image of your Mum sitting astride the oxygen bottle and riding it like some e-type jag James Bond lethal style. I suppose an addiction like that could be dangerous for the 'friend' crossing the road mumbling innanity but huge fun for Mum. Get into 5th gear and go Gal is all I will say.Plus Mom get that daughter of yours to design a slip on cover that spells it out clear and loud...addicted to life and living, Breath and Fly:0)
That oxygen, it's a gateway gas--leasd you right to using the hard stuff. It starts out innocently, with the medical-supply salesman telling you the first taste is free. Next thing you know, you're trying methane and hydrogen. One day you realize you've just mugged a toddler for a helium balloon.
Oh, the addiction to oxygen isn't so bad...it's the withdrawals that'll kill you.
Heavens! I couldn't top any of those comments and can bare;y type for the laughing. But best wishes and good thoughts to your mother!
Who's her dealer?
(Good one, Imbrium.)
Shi could always use the oxygen tank as a club and whack the sh*t out of the aforementioned acquaintance.
But hey, people move when they see you have a tank. Good seats on the train that way ...
Hey, some of us are so addicted we even use drugs to increase the effect of oxygen. Yeah, we carry them around in our pockets and take little puffs now and then. The clue that we have an O2 problem is that we call the little gadgets "inhalers".
Where is Breather's Anonymous when you need it?
you should tell your mom about the cable channel, oxygen. then tell her friend that yes, mom is addicted to oxygen! see!
Oh, friends are so helpful! And of course the friend is in denial about her own addiction. And no way to top Imbrium! Hee!
haha. when my grandfather came out of the hospital he was given the same warning by some of my nutty aunts. we still laugh about his terrible oxygen addiction. i am sure he would be comforted to know that he is the only one hooked!
Funny someone mentioned inhalers (well, not so funny I guess, compared to certain other comments here) because my thought was the person who warned of addiction is probably one of those who thinks all illness is psychological and one should try not to use one's medication too much/become reliant on it because that only encourages the disease. As you might have guessed by now, I had poorly treated asthma for this very reason for many, many years. So anyway. I'm firmly in your camp. Go, Mom, Go with the O2 tank!
