Including my brothers and my one son there are a total of 4 parrots in the family. They are great -- except when they get to chattering/talking then they are a pain. Especially when there is company and they want to be the center of attention!

Nice looking bird, enjoy it.

I knew there was a reason I go months without taking mine apart to clean. LOL

I have heard that insomnia can be related to sleep apnea.

I agree with Den, I wouldn't get rid of the equipment just yet.

I haven't but should!! I still have a lot of knowledge that I don't know. The technical stuff is still often times over my head (shhhh -- don't tell hubby I admitted I don't know everything as he so often times says that I claim I do). I know without this site I would have been so lost and would pro...

There is a complete set up for sale on eBay. The machine is an M series Plus series (yes, yes I already know it isn't data capable) but has the humidifier, two tanks, two masks, etc. and is listed with a buy it now 85 dollars for buy it now. If someone needs a cheap set up this might work,although i...

My grandson has some sleep issues (wakes up at all hours and is restless in the night). He is 6. His sister sleeps two doors down (large closet and bathroom between the rooms) and complains that his snoring wakes her up. Had the adenoids out, but doctor left the tonsils. Didn't help his sleep, but d...

I have asthma and used an apap for almost 5 years. If your pressure is 6 and 3 I know I would feel like I am not getting enough air at those pressures. Even at 8 (my original script was for a pressure of 8 to 12) I get that feeling. I upped my pressure to 9/10 to 15 and it felt much better. I was ab...

Oh Jim, so sorry to hear about your accident. Sounds scary. I have always been "clumsy" falling downs stairs and even up stairs (don't even ask how that is accomplished but it can be done). It is the running joke in the family that I can fall over "air". Thankfully no broken bones. Please take care ...

Hi, I have the following I am looking to sell: Philips Respironics System One BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex ~Includes: Power Cord ~Hours: Less than 100 I purchased one with zero hours on it for $275. I picked it up from craigslist. Great machine and was exactly as advertised. Included the humidifier and ...

I agree that it is buyers beware when dealing with Craigslist or eBay. But with that said -- I have gotten some fantastic deals from both -- things I could not have afforded at full retail price. I feel that my family and I are better for it. I recently picked up the PRS bipap I am using from Craigs...

Ducky -- I can already picture it in my mind -- You see our youngest son goes by Ducky. He got the nickname when you was a baby and his older sister was less than 2 and would call him her "Ducky". Actually his name is Dusty, but she simply couldn't get the "st" out and it sounded like "ducky". A cut...

Make sure you wash your mask prior to use. Let it soak for a bit prior to rinsing it. Make sure your face is clean and free from any oils.

Depending upon your mask you buy mask liners so that your skin is next to a liner instead of the silicone.

In my opinion well worth it. I don't use it every night and in fact use it sparingly. Part of the big reason is I am lazy . I have used many of the scents Pur-Sleep has and find that I like the ones that are more subtle. The AirCandy ones are good as well, especially the vanilla and chocolate.

My prayers and thoughts are with you. It sure makes my struggles seem insignificant when compared to you and your family. When things look darkest, remember to turn it over to God, he is walking beside you and will hold your hand during the darkest of times. It sounds like recovery will be a long jo...

That is an interesting concept since it seems that many of the younger generation is moving towards the tablets (or so it appears to me). It may open more users to keep check on their data. I have a Nook tablet that takes a micro sd card, also an iPad, Blackberry Playbook, and Kindle Fire (which non...
