We may come and go from this forum, but we never forget those who help us along the way. Laura, your generosity and advice are a godsend to all of us. But as I continue to struggle through this health challenge, please know that I wouldn't be plugging away without the genuine concern you've shown me all along the way!
God Bless, and greatful for you always!

How did you feel when you were 1st told ? - a few in my family incl my daughter (has 5 kids & its her oldest who will be the new mum),
found the title a bit more than they were ready for - as for me, I had been wondering what bribes I could offer my grandkids

LOL!!!

Thanks, everyone, for saying such nice things. Much more than I deserve. But especially, thanks for the way all of you have been helping so many people in so many ways.

Every day I marvel, watching you all answering so well the questions that people new to "CPAP" bring here. The same kinds of questions I had when I was getting started. A lot of people helped me then, and still do.

I appreciate what you do!

You all noticed, RG, had no comment on her profits from the Panty Hose manufacturing company stock!!!

Look! Look! There's a picture of the Panty Hose Lady!!!

RG - I think it's all been said so I'll just add my voice and a special thanks! for all you do. Without people like you gently helping us learn to deal with this therapy it just wouldn't be the same.

And I just love your new photo - I'm green with envy

Hi Laura, you have helped so many, me included. Thanks for getting me started on the right track. The RT that set up my machine seemed okay, but did not give me the information that you did.
Glad you had a nice vacation in Jamaica, you look great!
Now if you would send me 6 wallet size and an 8 X 10 glossy...
My best regards to you,

I've just seen the new pic, your looking good gal, I don't recall that I came back from Jamaica looking as good as that! A big thank you for all the help and advise you deliver with great tact. Thank you to everyone else who has helped me in the past and who will, I hope, in the future! I must say a big thank you to Johnny Goodman for running such a GREAT site, the best, and a special thank you to him for changing the Search thingy, I could never find anything with the old one, it was the height of frustration for me AND for all you funny guys thanks a million for the laughs and chuckles, keep it up.

Well I have to echo all the others comments and add a bit of my own.
When I first came to cpaptalk.com and had my diagnosis I was looking for information (I'm an addict). There was all kinds of help - DSM, Dreamstalker, Snoredog, SWS, a host of others and of course RestedGal. I can only say that Laura helped me immensely in those first fledgling days, and I will be eternally grateful for the help!!!!! I'm sure there are others that received the same kind of help, and have, as I have, provided the same to others.
I continue here because of all the help I received here -- I can't just take it away without giving back. I learn each day, and hope that I help each day in return.
Laura, thank you so very much for all you have done for me, and everyone else here!!!! May the force be with you always!!!!

Take care
cheers
goose

PS - I also echo DSM's comments re: johnny and all he's done for us!!!!
