son, then you are a great grandbaby! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Since 'Vader" joined this board with his avatar in 2006 and you just joined, I think he is entitled to keep his....maybe you should relinquish yours.

The voice of reason, THANK YOU, LSAT!
What you said is true. I have never changed my avatar after all these years. Why would I? I'm Vader!
Even my great grandchildren call me Vader.

My hubby named my cpap machine "Huffy".

I hadn't thought of naming my machine, then I'd have to name my computer. . .and my washing machine. . .and the drier. . .and . . .

But I think, 'Huffy' it is.

IF I was into naming inanimate objects, it would be "Judy". An old girlfriend. That's all I'm sayin'...

You know, there's a lot of similarity in those two pictures.

Thanks, BC! All accomplished with the superb support and guidance found right here (and my trusty CL search engine).

I missed this thread entirely and was just made aware of it. If you haven't named your new baby yet, how about "Puff" (like the Magic Dragon) or "Flo" (as in, um, flow ) or maybe "Janie" (after the author of The Sleep Fairy - http://www.seasonedwithlove.com/the_sle ... terson.htm)? Or another magician's name (if it's treating you as well as Houdini does me), like "Copperfield" or "Criss" (Angel).

Random thoughts... How's your therapy going so far with the ASV?
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy. ;))

PR S1 ASV 950, DreamWear mask, F&P 150 humidifier, O2 @ 2L.
