but I promise I'll give you my report card in the morning miss - should I bring you an apple as well?

That would be very nice of you, sir, bringing me an apple; however, I think since it would be coming from the UK, it may not be in great shape when it gets here .
Please keep your promise and let me know how tonight goes. You know I am interested.

And WAF:
At least your wife appreciates you. I am married myself for what will be 25 years this October and it's nice to have a spouse who still thinks you're special after all these years. I am blessed to be in that situation myself. But feel free to use this thread to make her jealous if you want. Hey, you never know what spice it might add to tonight...

Doctored pic? Not true. I don't belive I said that.

It was 12 months and 20 pounds ago though. I didn't know it at the time, but I was quite sick and getting sicker including sever internal bleeding at the time that pic was taken. When the docs discovered that they put me on 2 strong antibiotics and I reacted badly to one, eventually collapsing. I was out of it for a bit and have a week-long hole in my memory from that time.

I'm determined to shed the 20 I've gained since then and another 10-15 (or more!) as well. If I can get active and build some muscles while melting the fat off I look pretty good around 190! I'll make all the ladies swoon!

I say, go for it!!! Honestly, what do you have to lose? Or maybe I should watch my back??? Is she strong and can she be mean? Wait, can I rethink this?

GOOD GRIEF!!!

I'm gonna try to get this thread back on track.

Spring,

Welcome to the world of CPAP and this (slightly wacky at times) forum.
From what you've survived so far, this should be a "piece of cake". And, it will get better.
If the pressure is too much for you, you might ask them to set it to a lower setting and then work up from there as you become more accustomed to it and if the lower setting still isn't enough. If your machine has CFLEX, maybe they or you can select a different setting.

Best of luck.

Thank you WAFlowers, I think I did it lets see if it works with this reply!! And no you are not a geek I think you are a very helpful and thoughtful man! Congrats on your 23 year marriage I think your wife is a very lucky woman if I was a few years older and u were not married I might want you for myself!!, lol You have been a tremedous help to me these past couple of days! This is still very new and very scary to me still with not having my second study and not even talking to the doctors yet and you and everyone else who has replyed to me and took the time to answer my questions, have been very comforting and I thank you all!!!!

Lisa, not sure why your avatar didn't "come to life". Was it no more than 80x80? Did you click "Submit" after doing the "Browse" to upload from your machine?

If anything were ever to happen to my wife (God forbid!) after I get over the total devastation (she's my best friend!) I know where to go when it is time for me to rejoin the social circle. Forget about match.com; I'd just post here on cpaptalk.com!

BTW, I (and some friends) view being a geek as a state of mind that isn't really visible. It entails a fascination bordering on obsession with all things technical, esp. but not exclusively high-tech. This spring I did an engine rebuild on one of my 2 Miatas, having the cylinders bored out slightly, crankshaft turned, flywheel refaced and lightened. Mechanical geekiness.

When woodworking I setup my machinery with tolerances measured in 1,000's of an inch. WoodGeek!

Among other things this weekend I worked on editting some videos to be written to DVD complete with menus. This was on a computer I spec'd and assembled myself. Computer geek!

Geek is good. I'm proud to be a geek.
