Nice shot!

Now, on to the question being asked: Several times I'd woken up to a tired jaw from clenching my teeth or my tongue dry, tired and swollen as well as a sore spot on the roof of my mouth where I'd been pressing it all night. I've not experienced either since starting CPAP a month ago.

It is common for people with untreated sleep apnea to have bruxism - damage to the teeth from clinching and grinding. This was one of my symptoms and I have, in a stern way, told my dentist he should warn all patients with bruxism that they should be screened for sleep apnea.

During the struggle to breathe at night the teeth are reflexively clinched. Like your case, I quit the grinding once I started a good cpap.

Elevated heart rate and/or heart palpitations
Waking up gasping for air (I thought the alarm clock had startled me for some reason the first time but it then happened a couple more times and I realized)

Oooo..... BF and I were talking last night about what we wanted to do to the CEO's of various institutions that got us into this current financial crisis. Field dressing sounds so much more appropriate than his idea of just taking them out into the field and shooting them in the head.

Alive, of course. Field Dressing them while alive..... Ah yes.....

LOL,

You think were in trouble now with the democraps running everything but the executive office just what till they are a super majority with Obama as president. You know,Obama, the one who wants to spread the wealth ie: take money from you and give it to others that don't even try to work. You know,as McCain said "THAT ONE".

No money from me ... I make way less than $250K.

RE: the dem statement, you may soon realize as a recovering apneac that about 40 years have past you by and Nixon is no longer ... well uhhh, no longer

Also this AP article just out --

Study says Texas health care premiums rising fast
© 2008 The Associated Press
Oct. 23, 2008, 11:14AM
DALLAS — A new report says family health care premiums rose almost six times faster than earnings in Texas from 2000 to 2007.
The report released Thursday by advocacy group Families USA found that the annual health insurance premiums for family health coverage provided through the workplace in Texas rose from about $6,600 to about $12,400 — or about 87 percent. It also found that median earnings increased 15 percent during that period.
Families USA says that the number of non-elderly uninsured people in Texas is about 6 million, or about 27 percent of the non-elderly population.
Families USA is a national nonprofit dedicated to achieving affordable health care for all Americans.

Now currently my employer pays for my BCBS premiums. Under the McPalin plan, that benefit would be taken away from me and replaced with a $5,000 health insurance coupon which would leave me w/ $1,600 defecit at year 2000 prices. In addition, my earnings have only increased by about 3% since W became the decider in 2000

People need to wake up and realize that neither GOP or GOD is looking out for their health or financial interests.

The same goes for Obama, no way you can fund everything he wants to do just by taxing people making over $250,000 cause it just doesn't add up to enough money. It makes a nice sound bite. Who do you think he wants to tax the hell out of,the people that own the companies most of us work for and once they are punished for making a company that makes money thet will take it out on us,the employees.

Right now a Democrat is demanding proof that Obama is a natural citizen of the US,a Democrat. Now what if he was born in Africa as suspected? Besides call me what you want but who the hell wants a President with a muslim name? Obama Hussein, now that will just suck. Please welcom the President of the United States of Arab Emirates, Obama Hussein, sounds more like it.

People in the country are stupid sheep or lemmings and thats all there is to it! Just like most of my co-workers who only care about what is in it for them all the time and are a bunch of phonies. It isn't about how good you are in this country anymore it is all about how good you fool people into thinking you are. The best Bullshitter wins and that is usually the dumbest person you work with.

Uh huh ... I see what you mean.
