No CPAP, but on "My Name Is Earl" they did start out with Randy counting how many times Earl stopped breathing during the night. Maybe he will get a CPAP now that he is in jail.

EARL'S IN JAIL?????????
Dang it, I missed so much this season... I keep falling asleep before it comes on... Maybe next season...
BTW - that's my new favorite TV show. I even have Earl and Joy as desktop icons for two budget spreadsheets. Earl's the program I like, Joy's the program I don't like.
Cheers,
B.

Cool. I am a friend of Josh Souza from Season 1 of BB (as well as his previous girlfriend and almost winner of All-Stars Erika Landin, not to mention Scott Long. I worked with Josh on a TV Show (E!'s "Kill Reality"), Movie ("The Scorned") as well as the now defunct Reality Star website ("TheFishbowl.com).
Very Cool! I liked Josh on season 1 and Ericka too. Now Scott.....I don't know about him!!
I'm looking forward to July - another season!

[quote="rooster"]Does anyone remember the Andy Griffith episode when Barney drove Aunt Bea to Mt. Pilot to pick up her cpap machine and get fitted with a mask? [/quote="rooster"]
[quote="Babette"]Rooster, that couldn't have happened. CPAP wasn't invented until about 1982. At least, that's what I was told.... I mean read:

Rooster, rooster, rooster... Okay, I'm seeing it all now....
BTW, on my OTHER favorite time-waster- er... FORUM, I'm frequently known as AUNTIE B! I have two 16 year old apprentice interpreters who I give rides to, and share sewing days with, and they've adopted me as their Auntie.
So, Auntie B approves HEARTILY of this story and hopes Barney will - in the future - refrain from flashing his hose at Floyd.
Kisses,
B.

You guys are great. Thanks. In answer to someones question, no strap marks....just deep red grooves everywhere the mask itself touches. I can only loosen it so much without causing serious leaks. I am at a 14 pressure.
Yes, that is me on my avitar pic. Thank you for the compliment.
I was talking to a male friend of mine today at work and this came up. His response was that any guy to get that close to me would count himself lucky and not care at all about it....and that any guy who would comment badly on it doenst deserve me anyway. He is a nice guy. I feel better about it now, thanks guys. I am just going to take life as it comes and not worry about it.

There was one of those home makeover shows on HGTV, Design on a Dime I think, where the makeover was done on the master bedroom. The hubby used a CPAP. The designers explained what it was and what it was for. They got him a new bedside table so that the machine fit into the top drawer with a hole in the back for the hose to go through.
That was the one and only time I have seen cpap on a non-medical TV show. Before the designer explained the machine, I kept pointing at the TV and repeating "look, look, a cpap." It doesn't take much to entertain me.

You know, it's not bothering me on the nightstand, but all this talk of cutting holes in the back of drawers is making my creativity itch. I suddenly long to do more than sew a cute fleece cover for my hose.
Who's selling those crotcheted cpap covers like your Grandma used to make for the tissue paper boxes? I think I gotta have one of those... Maybe even one of those like the toilet paper roll covers where the Barbie doll stuck out the top and the base that covered the roll was her "hoopskirt". That would be soooo appropriate for me....
I don't think I've ever seen cpap on tv other than on a medical show. I'll start looking for it now. I'm sure now that Rooster has clued me in, I'll spy some odd crotcheted mound in Aunt Bea's bedroom that will definitely look mysteriously like a cpap machine...
LOL,

I'm sure it makes you a bit self-conscious, but you've got to know it's important. And as has been said already, if he has a problem with your CPAP, he's not a keeper anyway.
Sometimes when I'm in a difficult situation, I use (bad) humor to lighten things up.
So maybe you should just tell "him" that nobody has offered you a b-job lately, so you brought your own. That will likely get a rise out of him, or get me kicked off this forum.. One or the other anyway.
Good Health,

Good one!
