I use the quick release because it is much easier.

I use the Mirage because it is much lighter weight than others. It doesn't have a quick release on it. I guess I could put one on it. It comes with just the velcro straps. I have 2 others but this ones is lightest and fits best.

My Mirage FF came with the Quick Release head gear.

I am still looking into the the Hans Rudolph.

I am wandering how people who have this mask like it and how are they doing with it,

Wow - Orgasmic Growth?

Post by rpalmer » Sat May 14, 2005 11:24 pm

Yo, Unclebob. You sure got my attention! That multiple orgasmic growth sure sounds OK to me. Lots more exciting than that boring old organic growth. Of course, I guess it's reasonable to assume continuous vibration stimuli would produce orgasmic growth - probably pretty quick, too.
Unclebob said:

"Seems very gentle but continuous vibration stimuli of the scalp actually awakens dormant hair follicles producing multiple orgasmic growth."


You think CPAP will replace Viagra if the word gets out? I can see Bob Dole now doing a commercial wearing a CPAP FF mask. No, guess he'll have to wear a nasal mask, else how will he talk?

I obviously stumbled into this conversation in the middle, so I'm not sure if my fatigue is causing me to miss the tongue-in-cheek, or this is actually a serious topic. At any rate, thanks for giving me some giggles with your Freudian slip before I strap on my headgear & see if I can detect any continuous vibration stimuli.

Sleep tight....

Two years ago I had let my hair grow so long that my daughter was teaching me how to put it in a ponytail. ( ah, the joy of academic freedom) I even used her little ponytail bands, though I decided against using her scrungies.

Then I got it cut, and with each progressive cut, my hair keeps getting shorter. Is this hair loss? Or is it just the end of a midlife crisis? I also ate half of a leftover Spongebob Poptart. Do you think that could be the cause of all these problems?

That was me. Guesting myself again.

But is that the cause, or the effect, of a midlife crisis? I am having a crisis now, because I guested myself. But I was having another crisis when I wrote it so it could be the effect. To be or not to be, that is the question.

OK. I think I'm better now.

Hmm.
Are you alright?
Ah, midlife neuroses. What would we do without them?

To be or not to be is not the question.
Be what? or What not to be? might be better questions.
To be or not to be certainly is a choice.
But to have never been, or will never be, or what the hell be I
might be more pressing issues. Since sooner or later,

See?

ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!!

Buffalo Al and LDuyer

Now I want you both to listen to me verrrry carefully, because clearly you haven't got much time....

Slowly, cautiously, step away from your computer.
Walk into another room.
Sit down in a comfortable chair.
No back-talking!!!!!
Okay, now just sit there quietly.
There you go, now that wasn't so hard was it?
Good.
In a minute, the nice men in the white coats will be there with a very special jacket for you to try on. Won't that be fun? Sure it will!

Buffalo Al, put down that Spongebob poptart!!!
Linda, no more vodka!!



Sheesh. You guys are definitely a brick shy of a load.....

Those men in the white coats --- any of them single,...and desparate?


[BuffaloAl --- are we being insulted? or complimented? .... I think complimented. What do you think?]

Neversleeps,

Is that you in the avatar? You're pretty cute, but it looks like you've got a migraine.

Try this. Two ounces of vodka on the rocks with a twist. Take with half of a Spongebob poptart. Repeat every ten minutes until you feel better.

Love ya

Hi LDuyer,

Starting to think neversleeps is right about you. You don't imbibe ( maybe not much of a party girl ); you're following a thread on baldness ( probably bald yourself ); and you seem to be seeking desperate single men.

Put all this together, especially with the way you keep banging your nose on the computer screen and bleeding all over the keyboard - well, it's just not a pretty picture.

I don't have all night as getting ready for bed to rest up for another productive day tomorrow - you should get yourself hosed as well! So am only going to deal with one issue which seems to be a bit confusing for you. You know what I'm talking about don't you! Yep - sex.

We've talked previously about your coming out of the closet and now may be a time to explore this a little further. You know what I'm talking about don't you! Yep - BuffaloAl.

First, he may or may not have dumped you for neversleeps - but I've got to tell you if she looks anything like her avatar you're in big trouble. Did you notice all the hair and no blood at all! Well I'd dump you too!

Just remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining. In this case you struck gold you lucky little devil! I say let neversleeps have BuffaloAl and be thankful you were jilted.

You ask why? Just read his posts. First you must remember that the single males are really not desperate at all, it's the married one's who are! Guess what, he says he has a daughter, implying marriage (I hope so) and in the next breath claims he wants to grow his hair out so he can have a ponytail. He's OK with bands but is really eyeing the scrungies, Don't you wonder about this? Is this the kind of a man you want, who cannot decide between bands or scrungies?

Then he admits to having a midlife crisis. I really think there's more to it than that. He probably attributes this to his hair getting shorter every time he cuts it. Little does he know his hair is really growing profusely due to his feminine tendencies but his male hormones are sucking them back into his scalp as each hair is screaming - no, no, no - no ponytail, please.

LDuyer, just let it go and be thankful. Right now he's probably out there trying to buy a pink motorcycle, white leathers and a psychedelic helmet with a hole on the top. Just imagine this with you sitting behind him with his ponytail flapping in the wind, xPAP hose sticking out the top of his helmet and of course you - bald as a beagle and bleeding while trying to reach a thousand on your laptop!

Life's too short. Do what neversleeps suggested - go sit quietly in a comfortable chair and wait for a bald married man with a beard to show up. If he happens to be wearing a white coat, so much the better, just means he likes to be clean and is a sharp dresser. Best of all he's desperate!

Nite nite Linda.

Wow, Bob,

Look what a little flippancy will get me!!

Hahaha!

Who knew I could prompt such concern for my personal life!
Don't be alarmed, Bob. I don't really feel dumped.
Afterall, you can't be dumped if you weren't in the dumpster.
(It's early, OK? I'm entitled to not make sense.)

So now I'm supposed to be looking for married men in white coats waiting to take me away, ha ha? Well, as fun as that may sound, I'd really rather not be placed in a padded room and forced to take medication. I already get that with my regular doctor!
So I'm supposed to be looking for a desparate man, is that it? Interesting.

Thanks for your concern, kiddo, and your very funny ways.
This should keep me laughing enough to get me through my Monday!
I can't WAIT to see what you've got for me for my Tuesday!!

Hey Unclebob,

You seem to have a lot of emotion pent up inside you eh? Try this. No, not the vodka, that was for that pretty heifer in Minnesota eh? Now, relive in your mind when the Sabres swept the Leafs in the '98 playoffs eh? That should calm us both down eh? Now come on down to the anchor bar eh, and I'll buy you a cold one eh? 'Cause we're all on edge from missing hockey eh?
