Re: Bugs in my humidifier unit after exterminator comes

Hire a better exterminator. You should not need one EVERY month. And do the bag thing. I agree chunkyfrog! Big Apple, how is your amphibian population? Why are you having so many bugs? I would be afraid to leave my laptop or cpap in my car in Florida. It can get a zillion degrees in there. ~~~but i...

Re: Washing Headgear?

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint, in a large (and gorgeous) ceramic bowl.

**Though sometimes I am at a location that I have to just use Dr. Bronner's in / with what ever method (bowl / spigot) is at hand.

~~~everything is better when washed in castile peppermint soap 8)

Parochial school?
The bullfrog attended school in Belgium, and the nuns were downright BRUTAL.
If I were to have a phobia, it would be sphenisciphobia--fear of nuns.
They all give me a little cringe . . .
No. It was a public school. In a "good" area. Not "big city" Orlando.
Late 1970's though.

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

Thanks goofproof ~~~ I've never heard of that guy before, but he's got it right. I'll have to watch him again on another subject. Once when I was in school (in Florida) ... I was in PE. It was 6th grade and we had to "dress out" which meant little blue romper suits for the girls, though it was co-ed...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

Thanks Julie ~~~ It's not a big deal to me but I found it vaguely unsettling that the story just deemed to disappear? I suppose it is an embarrassment for Orange County particularly because of Disney World's reputation as a dream destination for 6 year olds ... but I can't help but wonder who has th...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

OK ... this is really just a comment about how the internet works. Though early in this thread there was the word "fake news". As I mentioned in the post above there was a story last night saying that Florida has one of the highest arrests of minors in The United States. It specifically said that OR...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

I'm unsure if anyone outside of our local area is still interested in this story, but our BELOVED local reporter Lauren Seabrook** WFTV station in Orlando ..did a great story this evening as an update / follow up and statistics of arrests of 5 and 6 year olds in The City Beautiful / Magic Kingdom Ho...

Re: Sleepy study for 16yo son $$$$

Sleep study was Thursday night, he loved all the attention the techs were giving him and had 8 millions questions about the wires and information feedback. We have the followup appointment next tuesday. Hopefully we will find out a solution to his horrible sleeping not sleeping issues. Sounds like ...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

Clearly the SLEEP APNEA connection is a mere footnote to this story, but I can't help but wonder about it. I've seen very few threads / posts here on CPAPTALK about pediatric apnea and those have mostly been about finding masks that fit a child's head. I wonder if the idea of a child acting out viol...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

Unfortunately, I think this really happened here in "The City Beautiful" - Orlando. It is being reported that the 6 yr old girl was even FINGERPRINTED :shock: and had a mugshot. The arresting officer is now suspended pending investigations and the "UNTREATED SLEEP APNEA" connection is still being us...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

Jimbud, it was on our local news. WKMG. Not that our local news can't be as full of hoaxes as the internet ... We'll probably never learn anything further about this child, but it definitely raises a lot of questions (and emotions). How lovely would it be if she truly did have sleep apnea and got ef...

Re: 6 yr old with sleep apnea arrested

The story just made my head and heart hurt. ...the sleep apnea angle is the reason I shared it here. Obviously this grandmother believes (and this little girl will be taught) that she has sleep apnea. I can't help but be curious of how this diagnosis was made and if anyone told them her behavior was...
