To Pugsy, with remorse.

Please guys and gals...let this thread die off...please.
I edited my response in the thread that upset Julie.
I really, really didn't mean to upset her...I would never knowingly do that to anyone (well..maybe a couple who really get my dander up but not Julie).

I don't always stop to read posts that may have been posted during my time I spend in composition...which sometimes takes a bit because I might step away from the computer and come back. In this case there wasn't any prior response the millisecond before I clicked on the submit button...hey, she was faster than me.
I mean no disrespect should I end up saying the same thing someone else says...most of the time if I see a response that pretty much covers what I would have said I either don't bother to post because I see no need to post the same thing that has already been said no matter who said it or maybe I expound on it just a little just in case someone new reads it. Sort of like when someone tells a newbie to decrease the humidity levels and doesn't explain that different people have different humidity needs and offer up the alternate...some people need more ...side of things.

I don't mean any disrespect...I don't mean for it to look like I thought someone else's post was inferior...it's just most likely someone hit the submit button right before I did or maybe I just didn't notice replies that got posted while I was composing.
I don't go back to read anything in the thread once I hit the submit button...that's how come I end up with a lot of typos ..
When I see a new post in a thread...I only read the new post...I don't go back to read all of the responses and I can't remember everything that might have been said.

I am sorry Julie felt like I was picking on her...I really am sorry. She's seeing something in what I say that is not my intention at all. I have no control over what someone thinks is going on in my head when I write something but if they are that good at mind reading...they would know that no such thoughts entered my head. I don't sit down and say to myself..."let me see how I can discredit or irk or annoy or piss off" someone except on very rare occasions and they have to be a real jerk for me to waste energy doing that sort of stuff and it is a waste of energy to do that. I know it and you all know it but hey, I am human also.

But for me to do that to a long standing forum member who I thought was a friend....never ever would I do that.

I was REALLY hurt by what Julie did last night...and I got angry and I said somethings in a manner that now I wish I had not responded in that manner...but I can't undo it. She got her feelings hurt and I got my feelings hurt. I am sorry that happened for both of us.

So guys and gals...I am resurrecting this thread one more time (even though I said last night that I wouldn't) to hopefully explain, in a not so angry tone, where I am coming from.
Please, please just let my post here and now be the last one...let this thread die quickly and move off the pages down into the depths of the archives. It's helping no one being here and this forum is to help people..not hurt them and it hurts me to see it.

To Julie...I am sorry if I hurt you...it was not my intention at all.

*hugs* and *kisses* to both you and Julie, and *hisses* to those that decided to be nasty about this whole thing towards either of you.

I need this forum so much. I'm new to CPAP and am going through all the issues you all have already been through. Please PM disagreements with each other and resume the real reason we all joined this forum which is to learn from the best.

Pugsy. Oh my... I so didn't want any of this either, tho' did think I'd probably get an earful from some, which was more than understandable. I feel bad now for having made you feel bad... that so wasn't my point. I think what happened apart from anything was that I have harbored a little (very little!) bug, if you want, about your personal feeling re FF masks that I felt possibly gave a biased impression to newbies who I felt needed to at least try them (acknowledging that time when you explained that the S9 and/or PR S1 had leak rate ceilings, etc. that I'd been unaware of), but life's not reasonable so it's been on my mind... so when last night came up and I didn't check your timing - and you hadn't really said a lot more than I had, I just went off (much too far!).

I meant it when I said I've probably been here too long and need to find a new hobby but I also don't really want to go in a snit (on either side) and want to continue learning from you (and others). I'm kind of (ad)HD, and too often open mouth before hitting send, and of course screw up because of it in too many posts, but if you can put up with that and forgive my snittiness, I'd be very happy... and as I said I hate to have upset you of all people otherwise!

PS - Can you believe what a doll PR has turned out to be? Wonders will never cease!

I'm sorry to be continuing this thread but I took a break for lunch and left the forum. I wanted to say something and left it until now.

Julie - you have been a member and helpful contributor to this forum for a long time --as have I, and I try to be as helpful as I can be too. I certainly don't post as much as I used to! My health won't allow it and others (including you Julie) are certainly contributing helpful stuff.

It's the nature of forums like this, that someone can be typing and someone who may type faster (that's certainly possible in my case!!), gets their post in at almost the same time.

It NEVER hurts to have multiple responses that seem to say the same thing because people can sometimes understand one post better than another so I find no problem in this.

Needless to say, you and I have seen our share of posters who really help and posters who don't know what they are talking about over the years. Pugsy does her homework (as do you) and you are both very very helpful. It is not a contest though! It is a help forum.

Put on your cpap mask and go have a nap Julie. When you get up- get up on the "right side of the bed"!

I resemble those statements.

Shhh! you'll ruin my reputation!

I wish I had a transporter, I'd zap you two to a nice table somewhere cozey and serve up a nice cup of tea for each of you, with some cookies. we'd get everybodies feelings all fixed up

I don't see how you stayed here so long. This place looks like it could drive you crazy with all the people coming here with problems and I don't think many of them ever succeed. It's showing 72,931 members and maybe less than 100 are posting. Most must fail and drop out.

Just quit the forum and do other things. Getting outside in fresh air is the best, but I see you are in Canada and that may get to be a problem with the weather.

Do it for your own health.

Is that a new Respironics machine? I haven't kept up with the new models.

It's time for a group cyber-hug.
Don't worry about me--just please don't kick if something moist cuddles your ankle.

There was a wise minister in La Jolla California who wrote a book many years ago.

"What other people think of ME is none of MY BUSINESS".

Now THAT was funny! And has been requested, let's end this thread... I have places to go, people to see and lots to learn. I mean... do I really care or need to know all about this: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/page ... ivers.aspx?? What is a Linux anyway or a CP Driver, or CP210x... will it affect my sleep... do I really need to know all this? Will it help me live to be 108?

I have moved on to other sights to learn as much as I can about my affliction. Best of luck to all and remember to try and understand how hard it is for some people to ask for help

Hasta la vista.......baby.

Hope you got all of your questions answered and your problems solved. You just slammed the door behind you.
