Re: OT /does anyone else watch LOST?

It will be interesting. Their surname on the wall in the cave leaves open for their child to be a candidate. This show is definitely one that can't be missed or the story is missed.

Re: CPAP and BCBS

If you have BCBS through the the Federal Employee Program, go to http://www.fepblue.org. It will spell out what providers are in network and such. Also, the Federal BCBS benefits are consistent throughout the country, just administered by different baby blues. Call/write your BCBS provider and ask. ...

Re: POLL-How much do you use your humidifier????

Use my heated humidifier all the time, albeit in passover mode. Turning it on causes my sinus to become congested.

Yep, you're SOL. This model was my original one. Only does hourly compliance. It wasn't until the Pro2 that they added the useful statistics.

Re: Is my cpap making me sick???

So I think I may have partially solved the issue..... I finally got up and took away the humidifier, my nose and sinuses cleared within a minute! perhaps, my water was either contaminated, or it was just too much moisture. I am going to try the passover technique today.... will see how that works. ...

Re: Can sleep apnea kill?

I don't think the proper question is will sleep apnea kill you. We all die, eventually. The proper question is "Will I die earlier if it isn't treated?". With that question in mind, then an emphatic YES. I personally want to stay on the sweet smelling side of the daisies for awhile longer.

Re: OT...I want to get my wife a new phone.

Bill,

As Babs said, it would be most prudent for your wife to get a case/cover/protector that allows her to keep it on her person at all times. The Apple products, Iphones and Ipods are VARY attractive to thieves.

Re: OT...I want to get my wife a new phone.

Forgot to add for the IPhone lovers, my wife loves hers. A bunch of apps which can be added, a good memo function and a built in GPS. Great for finding those yard sales on the weekend.

Re: OT...I want to get my wife a new phone.

Even my 3 year old N80's camera was better than the E71's, but as I say it's a great phone, and I'd choose it again, even with the crummy camera (I didn't get it to take pictures). I just don't understand why Nokia manage to make some phones with decent cameras and others are useless - you'd think ...

Re: OT...I want to get my wife a new phone.

The Nokia E71 is a great phone, but the camera on it sucks. True, the camera isn't the quality of my N95, but the N95 doesn't have the keyboard the E71 has. But then again, they are meant for different uses. One leans towards doing the multimedia thing well(the N95; I can even plug it directly in t...

Lance, Some take to become a hosehead relatively quickly, some take longer. After getting a card reader and software so I could read the card on my old Remstar Pro(the model before they added the good data), I found it was 4-5 months before I hit that magical "7hrs"(a changeable setting with the Enc...
