Re: One Request to Johnny, Carolyn, all forum members

This is the internet and it is foolish to worry about what some bullies might say. If they bother you ignore them and forgettabouit. It's the internet. Grow some cojones. I will also say that if you really want to leave an internet board just leave. No announcement or drama is necessary. Just my 02...

I wouldn't consider changing my sig line for a minute! It's perfect! Thanks anyway.

Really, who cares?

You are bullying yourself by not being able to just stop responding. It really is that simple.
You're quite right! I just deleted my response to "Morbius".

There you go Sonnyboy... that's what I was talking about. Was his response really necessary or warranted? It should be apparent who started the "bullying".

Re: OT - Very Powerful Message

Comparisons do seem awkward; too close to freudenschade sometimes. But when I see people with great attitudes, in spite of worse situations, it makes me think. I can see how I can feel better by only changing my thoughts. Freudenschade: good word CF... I had to look it up. Would you qualify someone...

Re: One Request to Johnny, Carolyn, all forum members

What rankles me is when fairly new members get flak for asking what we quaintly refer to as dumb questions ( typical advice: search for it, stupid ). IMO. common decency demands that those folks who are suffering typical CPAP woes get gentle handling. Who's a lurking troll and who's a suffering new...

Re: OT - Very Powerful Message

Most of the people on this forum, if not virtually all, are a privileged group that is 'rich' enough to have a decent life - at least they don't seem to suffer from extreme pestilence, war and starvation. For a lot of the world, all those messages from 'fourteen year old girls' boil down to: Can I ...

Re: One Request to Johnny, Carolyn, all forum members

Hi Johnny and Carolyn, I will be 67 in a few weeks and started CPAP in November. My family doctor took over 3 years to order a sleep test, attributing my fatigue to age and laziness. My severe fatigue resulted in a major fire in my apartment last year. 2 of my pets died. My sleep doctor is no help....

Re: New here, not sure where to post this

Try using Lanolin cream. Can be found in any pharmacy, Target or Walmart. It's a cream that nursing mom's use when their nipples are sore. Completely safe and really works. Just a small amount and can also be used during the day until the soreness goes away.

Re: Online Medicare DME

I have not done business online. Verus calls me on a recorded line and asks what I would like to order and identifies what I am authorized. They call about two weeks ahead of my "authorized" supply date. They take the order over the phone, send a confirming email then send an email when they ship. ...

Please stop deleting my post. I have emailed the Goodmans. and forwarded this post: Carolyn and Johnny Goodman, I know you two are good people. This forum, however, is an unhealthy toxic environment. Perhaps the toxicity is caused by apnea? Perhaps by cpap treatments? The evil outweighs the good he...

My thinking has been along the lines of what "nanwilson" said. I wish you folks would start dialing it back a bit and try the "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." approach.
