Well, lilsheba, yours looks like you dropped into a deep sleep standing up...don't be pointing fingers!

Seriously, I was just thinking about this the other day myself. I too belong to other boards where there is some pretty vicious fighting. It's so nice to see everyone here get along, support each other, and expend effort (which isn't always easy for a hose head) to help fellow members by either posting a link, researching something for them, or just spending 10 minutes typing out a response of reassurance.

We should have a yearly conference and meet in person!

Thank you, thank you, thank you one and all.

This forum is the best. I have laughed, cried, and gained tremendous amount of knowledge from all of you. I also have been given support and encouragement. I would have been lost without it, and stuck with whatever a local DME decided to give me, and probably would have failed because of it.

But with what all of you have taught me I am succeeding.

Wish there was another way to express my highest thanks other than "Thank you" but as they say there is no other words to express it but "Thank you".

Hehehe well you have a point there!

Seriously I think it'd be fun if more of us got to meet though. Wouldn't it be hysterical if we all met in a central location, all had the same hotel and shared rooms, each one hooking up their machine and various other gear.

I'd like to see the face of the hotel accountant when he wonders why the electricity use in the hotel skyrocketed on a particular weekend. If we all met and stayed at one hotel, we'd blow fuses!

Trust me I thought of that too. But of course everyone would have their surge protector like they should for electronics and the xpap machines would all be safe!

I just think it would be fun if we went from room to room to see everyone's setup. Who's using Pur-sleep, who's using the PadaCheek covers, etc.


OOOOOOOhhhh it's be an excellent time to trade masks and pur-sleep scents too! You could do it in person and not have to worry about shipping things out!

We'd have to come up with an agreeable spot to meet for everyone from various countries - now we're dreaming

Of course, in Gasp's case, we would need to agree on a planet first.

I'm laughing so hard right now! I didn't even think of electricity!

I definitely look better than Gasp , unless you're speaking in an alien sort of way.

Perhaps on the planet Zarkon . . .

Or somewhere else in the universe, Gasp is a "sex symbol". The poster child for all things CPAP.

Great laughs one and all!

By the way Gasp,

Did you notice that you're naked?

So now, we have a lewd and lacivious alien in our midst.

Maybe he's just ready for sleep (even naked can we tell it's a he? )

Do you sleep in a suit, and tie... we already see you wear your sunglasses at night...

Ouch! I think I've been slapped, and told to mind my manners.

But that's hard to do. After all, I am a monkey's uncle.
