Re: Question on increasing moistness of humidification a bit.
I think mouth breathing's having the drying effect, not Cpap itself, but you can get masks (in parts, to assemble) from Cpap.com without a script. Nutty, but legal. Why not at least check out the diff. ones out there and maybe something will look interesting. Or at least try taping for a couple of nights to confirm the issue (or not).

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to make a difference in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other seniors who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.
Harold Schlumberg is such a person.
"I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?'
Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages into urine"
Harold should be an inspiration to all of us.
