Yes! I go through a 10-15 minute period of farting when I wake up and take off my mask. Didn't happen before CPAP.

Yes, it's called aerophagia...air gets into the gut and comes out the other end.
There are some things that can be done to reduce the annoyance.

Did someone cue the laugh track? It seems to me that Mr X's snarky response is to his own statement.

Look carefully at the non logged in ID ....one letter off. Someone is yanking mr alphabet boy's chain and spoofing his name.

Forum software won't allow the exact xxyzx to be used in a non logged in guest post.

Probably bounced it around some proxy servers.

It wasn't Palerider though. He doesn't need to hide behind guest postings to call a spade a spade. He has better things to do with his time.

I have no clue at all, but I like to respond as well.

It could be - or it could not be. You never know for sure. Maybe you try something and see and maybe than a pattern emerges.
Maybe you try to sleep a night without the machine, if you don't fart it might be the machine - or it might not.

I really don't know anything about that at all. But here my words: I am not wrong!

I thought only "L******" and snowflakes played the victimization card? Or is it paranoia?

Haven't been here in awhile, but I am getting a kick out of seeing XXX get his butt in a sling. Folks here are sick and tired of his antics and calling everyone names, its about time the tables have turned on him.

then you missed all the libtard bullies attacking me with no reason

dont want to get called names then dont insult me and attack me first

NO I haven't missed a thing, did a lot of reading today. Folks don't need to attack you and you still call them names. It is YOU that is the bully, you just don't want or won't admit it. You need to calm down and stop thinking that everything that comes out of your mouth is gospel, the only reason folks don't like you is the strange fact that YOU attack them first not the other way round. You need a vacation to calm yourself and stop thinking that you are Donald Trump... you remember, he's the one that keeps saying odd things and changing his story when he is proven wrong... you sir are not always right!!!!!!!! We all make mistakes, its not everyone else, its you included. Take a look around you, do you have any friends, well perhaps you have driven them all away just like you have here. Not the best way to make friends and influence people is it. If you want to be a part of this forum then stop attacking and folks might... just might warm up to you.
