Hello All

Post by Texas Tony » Thu Apr 02, 2009 12:45 pm

Another Newbie checking in. I have been studying the archives for a few days, searching all the great data that has been compiled. Most of my questions have been answered. So I just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself. Tony from Texas

WELCOME!

Much obliged for the howdy, Texas Tony. (I'm originally from Kentucky, so I'm allowed to talk like that.)

Your greeting is especially appreciated because it is so nice to know you found some answers and that you signed up to say hello even though your questions were answered! That means a lot.

Let us know if there's anything we can do for you. We get a little crazy here sometimes, but there are an awful lot of VERY helpful people on this board.

Another fellow Texan saying welcome Tony. We are currently in Florida, leaving for west Texas tomorrow morning. Will be in Del Rio Sunday, and really looking forward to getting back to the home area for a little while. Glad you found us.

Welcome,

Also from West Texas. I wonder if cpap.com being based out of Houston has anything to do with the proliferation of Texans...

Howdy, Tony - yet another Texan here. I'm also another newbie; I started "on the hose" on March 16th. This forum is an absolute wealth of information and help. I'm know for a fact that it saved me from many nasty newbie pitfalls and problems.

Welcome to our family. I'm from Texas too. I grew up in Louisiana until I moved to Texas when I was 15 (I'm currently 29). But Texas is where I call home.
