Earthquake!!

Post by judysunlakes » Thu Jun 16, 2005 2:57 pm

I am sitting here reading the message board, and we just had an Earthquake, lasted about 10 sec. really rocked the house. I should be used to them by now after 42 years in Calif. At least it woke me up.
Still want to know what you suggest for a side sleeper, everything seems uncomfortable, tried several. Sleep Apnea diag. in Aug. 04.

And THAT, my friends, is why I no longer reside in California. Those things scare me like nothing else.

Glad everything's okay, Judy.

Pillow, Judy. Pillow. I too am a side sleeper and the "shapeable" pillow from Target (stop me if you've heard this a dozen times already ) will actually help to hold the Swift in place while you sleep - without smothering the vents.

And if you buy a dozen of them you'll have good protection from your weekly earthquake too! We get them here in Wisconsin too - just not every week or two!

Hi judysunlakes,

Glad you were only distracted for 10 seconds as there seems to be some pretty important political hot air being expelled on the board today! You have to pay attention all the time.

Wait a minute. Were you and all your California earthquakes responsible for all that hot air? Watch it eh!

Forgot, damn Apnea and brain fog again, you're from California aren't you? Isn't that part of the USA or do the Spanish still rule the roost. We don't get much news up here in the Great White North we call Canada. Last we heard there was some guy in a black suit, black mask. black horse and a whip stirring things up. What was his name???? Gets soooo confusing for us northern Apneacs. Now I remember - something like Zorbat, the man from Greece? All too confusing!

Anyway, what I started out to say, was that you may not understand the word eh, eh? Yeah, it's pretty tough getting a grip on all this short form language we're starting up here. Fact is we need to do something to shorten the words when speaking cause if the words are too long your tongue can freeze up. Even short sentences can be tricky eh. Pretty damn cold, but we don't get earthquakes. The ground is frozen solid and can't move eh, no matter how much you shake it.

So think about it eh. See how many short words you can think of as we need all the help we can get.

We have come quite a ways already just based on eh, eh. Like:

heh - can be used as something you feed cows, to call someone or if you load it up like heh heh heh shows you're having a good time eh.

peh - what you get from your job,

geh - lot of these in San Fran come here to get meh reed

Lots of uses - hell we even had an actress called Feh Reh who starred opposite some hollywood king.

Back ( pardon the pun ) to your problem. Side sleeping and all. I'll try to be serious. I too am a side sleeper and was passing through one of my favorite stores - Costco, and bought one of those formed pillows. The one kind of hollowed out to give your hehd more support. Well, I have never been a back sleeper but this pillow kind of forces you to be, and it's kind of neat. Rehlly am enjoying it! Cost about $20 Cehnadian so probably giving them away where you are plus a rehbate.

Hope you are well and your home is okeh after today. Thought I heard there were 3 quakes.

All the best

Bob F

P.S. You won't believe how long it took to do a spehl chehk on this post.
