Should I opt to buy a CPAP or go for a second sleep study?

That's not my stink bug...mine is the Chinese version I think.
The brown/gray bastard.

On CPAP.com, it looks like the machine is light pink.

Maybe your monitor needs adjustment. Look up the the s9 for her.

Not just his monitor...mine also. A faint hint of pink but nothing like the hideous S9 for Her pink.

I'm trying to get tattooed lady to start making vinyl skins for the air10 machines.

Please use the correct terminology - vegan leather.

Entirely possible, except that would mean all my monitors on my phone, my desktop and my laptop would need adjusting. To my eye, the cpap.com image has a pinkish cast, unintended though it may be.

... Speaking of growing things...I do straw bale gardening and old straw bales go to the raised bed to further decompose and grow potatoes and stuff like that in. There's one bug that I can't seem to eliminate and I don't know it's name. When I was a kid we used to call them stink bugs but I don't think that's a real name and might not even be what I am seeing. It's the only bug I can't seem to keep away and mainly in the raised bed. Care to help me figure out what it is and how to ward him off? When he comes for a visit he is nasty and always brings a boatload of his hungry friends.

If you're talking about the marmorated stink bug, I'm partial to old-fashioned integrated pest management (IPM). If you can get your hands on some Trissolcus japonicus (a tiny wasp called the Samurai wasp), you could start it breeding in your garden and have the stink bugs under control. They don't sting people. They do eat stink bug eggs.

And calling it margarine isn't enough. Let's call margarine "vegan butter". Similarly, let's call texturized vegetable protein "vegan hamburger". Because it's not enough to abuse the plants in the name of animals. Plant rights are being abused. We'll see what the members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants (PETP) have to say about this.

I am pretty sure that is what I am seeing. I didn't take pictures...should have I guess.
Though I see it wasn't introduced in the US until a few years ago and it's unlikely that is what I recall as a kid unless maybe I am thinking that what I remember as a kid was just a distant cousin of the Chinese variety.

Unlikely I can get some wasps to breed....Missouri not on the experimental list yet.

I didn't know they would/could infest homes...thank goodness I haven't seen them in the house...YUCK.

At any rate....I will be better prepared for the war this time and maybe try to figure out some stuff to do ahead of time.
They are probably dormant in the raised bed right now. I don't like chemicals on my garden but sometimes a girl just has to do what a girl has to do or not have a garden. I usually spot their poop on the leaves before I spot them.....they can decimate a small garden in just a couple of days. Mine seem to love the potato leaves first and once they eat and breed and I see thousands of the little bastards they move on to my tomato plants (I see that they can fly as well as crawl) then hubby gets pissed.
I think I need to pre-treat the raised bed this year with something. Maybe kill them before they fornicate in the decomposing straw and multiply. Maybe compromise with chemicals only in the raised bed or something like that.
Gotta move fairly quickly though...time to start preparing the straw bales is just around the corner.
My tomato plants grew to over 8 feet tall last year. I had to use a step ladder to pick the top ones.

Maybe it was photographed next to one of the S9 for her models.

Wouldn't that be people hunting vegans?

I love vegans, they're tasty.. .

Cows are vegan, right?

*lols* I told her about that post and she said that the vinyl she does has nothing at all to do with leather, vegan or otherwise, no matter what Granny says

I envision something like the custom printed skin I got somewhere else for my S9:

That's just a gorgeous design! Why should an xpap have to look ugly?

Indeed. At the time Skinit was selling custom prints for S9 machines... upload your pic, arrange it in their design program, click 'buy' and a few days later an envelope arrived in the mail. I did mine and a couple friends.

Well, now I may HAVE to get a ResMed just so I can skin it. They don't seem to have skins for Phillips Dreamstation.

Aussies seem to like Dreamstations better
