Yes, ma'am. Sorry.

Washout, my ass.

Um. No thanks?

punctuation can be critical.

Or at least require intensive care.

I'll pay more attention to the comma (glad it wasn't a colon) next time. Thanks for granny-grammar-splainin'.

We don't say, "I've been eating so healthy that I can now ignore what I eat."

Not even two or three times a week?

I still wouldn't "ignore." A little attention might still be due in order to make sure utensils and table coverings and wait staff remain unharmed for the duration.

"Events" is perfectly acceptable scientific and medical terminology. Especially in the context of RDI. It's accuracy is in its broadness. And the effectiveness of PAP as a simple mechanical fix for stabilizing the human airway during sleep IS truly amazing. Most medical issues are not nearly as stra...

Its not often I have to look words up. Thanks for the new word !

You can take the boy out of Indiana, but . . .

If science fiction has taught us nothing else, it is that attempting group-time-travel always creates risks for messing up present realities, even if it's only done for an hour twice a year.

lazarus will fit in just fine around here!

I hope not! I take particular pride in never quite fitting in wherever I go.

I was here previously, but wanted to start over fresh. This is, after all, the best PAP forum.

Oh but that all aspects of nonvirtual life worked that way too!

I don't want to hijack this thread, If anyone's thread deserves hijack, it's mine! :lol: Great question. I don't know the answer. But I believe the message may be put there to be used as an argument, or "proof," provided by the patient that insurance should pony up for a new machine if that's what ...

The sleep techs, through no fault of their own, are sometimes overly influenced by seeing the reactions to PAP from first-night users, and they naturally form their opinions accordingly. They don't see the centrals go away over the next few days. EPR and auto CAN confuse the tech's job of first-nigh...

. . . wish he was a little more flexible and not so rigid with his opinions (like offer both sides) . . . I think you set a particularly good example of not falling into that trap, if you don't mind my saying so. And, no, I didn't say that just to further derail Zonker's thread. (I'm sure I'll be a...

And thanks for anything you did to help keep Zonker alive while I was dead. and thank YOU for resurrecting in time to derail my thread. <shakes fist> :lol: :lol: :lol: No problem. Is their anything else in your life you'd like me to derail for you? 'Cause I really wanna be there for you, man.

It isn't even always standardized among the various Medicaid-plan providers within each state.

But the day they get, say, Georgia, on the same page as, say, Massachusetts, with how Medicaid plans work is the day that lasting peace in the Middle East starts to look easy.
