In my lame attempt to try to keep up with Kathy.......

The forum has a member
Whose handle is "Rested Gal"
She's done so much for so many
And I'm glad to consider her my pal.



Congratulations, Laura.

I'm not sure whether to thank or blame you for my longevity on the forum, as I had thought about leaving on several occasions. But, like BleepingBeauty's slogan says...... Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around. ......so, I gave up on those thoughts. I guess I figgered that if YOU could stick around, I could and would, too.
Helping people can be infectious......and you're the BEST.

Best wishes and thanks for everything you've contributed to the forum. (And, being my "pal")

Laura, you were such a tremendous help to me when I was first dropped into this cpap world; don't know what I would have done without your help. Thanks for all you do!

Laura(RG), Congratulations on your 10,000 posts. You are one classy lady who can sometimes agree to disagree with such elegance! Your wealth of knowledge and kindness has saved me from many sleepless nights as I tried to understand this whole cpap world. I can only imagine how many of us owe you such a debt of gratitude. Stay with us for the next 10,000. Dori

RG, I'm happy to join the chorus in thanking you for your sagacity and patience in helping so many here. It goes without saying that whenever you offer assistance to someone, you answer the questions of many more who wondered the same thing, but never expressed a question or request.

To borrow a phrase from ESPN...You da Gal !

Oh gosh. Thanks!

All of you are the ones really doing the hard work. You're making your treatment work, and you're helping others to do that, too. If something I've said added to the help EVERYONE gives so generously on this board every day, I'm glad.

In my lame attempt to try to keep up with Kathy and Den.......

There once was a man from Nantucket...

On second thought, better not.

Congratulations, Laura.

I'll second that. And thank you all for heeding the scientific and non-scientific advise (as RG may point out) of all the Stooges!

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Thank You Rested Gal
for Helping Me Too!


Laura, you reached out to me with such kindness and grace as I started with this treatment. I fully expect that you'll be one of those five people I meet in Heaven. (Hopefully you've read Mitch Albom's book so you'll know what I mean--if not, read it, it's great!)

Thanks for everything!
