Slightly OT?: New use for cpap

Post by jmcsmomma » Sun May 29, 2011 5:17 pm

So, my chill mat for the laptop died, and it was getting pretty warm. Had a brain poot and decided to blow the cool air from my mask to the back of laptop. Voila!! LOL

Be sure not to use the humidifier.

I've used mine to blow up air mattresses a couple of times.

It was in the 90's the past few days. Ended up with 8 baby chicks, and put 13 more in the bator yesterday. And GOOD GRIEF!! What pressure would blow up an air mattress???

I must be extremely sheltered - I thought your area of the country was cool breeze in the trees. Geography was never my strong suit. Baby chicks, ahhhh - we used to raise ducks years ago and miss it. The eggs were HUGE and we like chicken eggs better for their taste.

And, ditto - "what pressure would blow up an air mattress?" !
