Well, here, can you see this one: é

If you like that one, you can have it. I can make more. And I can make them on other letters, too.


Oh, and I'm pretty sure Snoop Dogg doesn't know what a time signature is. That's OK. I can't actually name anything he's done.

How recherché! Good show! I shall take good care of it.

Absolutely not! The fundamental purpose of this site is medical -- OSA support.

Those with an _overwhelming_ need to blab about, in sms's words, "employment, politics, spiritualism, family, sex etc" should go to sites whose purposes are exactly that.

Or see a therapist.

There are other sites specifically designed for social networking. But where else can you go to get such excellent SA advice?
Ever hear of the latest move in Western Medicine to a more Body/Mind/Spirit approach? This forum approaches that.

I was sure our paths had crossed at sleepapnea.org back in 2006, when I got into trouble for violating their guidelines.

Possibly he thought about changing the settings on his machine himself.

Some forums' guidelines just need violatin'. Guidelines? We don't need no stinkin' guidelines!

Wow. You mean I could get in trouble just for THINKING about it while there? Huh! I wonder, then, if they can sense what I'm thinking right NOW?!

I'm afraid I never got the chance to improve my stock holdings in the petroleum industry at ASAA, since my outlook on treatment and informed medical decision-making were at extreme odds with their philosophy (and the health care industry that supported them).

Tatoo there you go a place setup the way you want it. viewtopic/p508691/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7 ... 179#p66179 perfect

You can't rely on the OSA-posting public to voluntarily adhere to that---since our views drastically differ about what we need. Since when does emotional peer support not fulfill a therapeutic need among sleep disorder patients with Quality of Life issues?
I never said that. Just pointed out that there are things and places for the other interests. But I guess you could use the same method intended to make sure sure everything went into the right category.

Me? At that forum? I never even registered there!

That's OK, Amigo, apology accepted.

I would give that idea serious consideration before you read TOB.
