mcdunde64 (Mike),

Hold on there Baba-Looey! I think you misinterpreted what CharlesJ (Chuck) said. He was just being funny! He didn't say he didn't like the way you write! While it is certainly unusual to write without using any punctuation whatsoever, that is your chosen style and no one is implying that you are less loveable because of it! ? Besides you're in good company. It reminds me of my favorite e e cummings poem:

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young

and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile

I LOVE that poem. Thanks!!!!

As everyone has said, it does take time to adjust to having something foreign to you strapped to your face at night. Mask comfort and seal is essential to successful treatment. If the mask itself is uncomfortable to you then you may want to try a different one. I've been through many. Everyone's face shape is different so what works for one may not for another. When you have a comfortable mask that you get accustomed to using and start reaping the benefits of treatment it will be better. You may try using the cpap and mask while awake watching tv or something for short periods to help you get acclimated to it. You'll be amazed that at some point, it will just become second nature to you like brushing your teeth and you wouldn't even entertain the idea of sleeping without it. I've actually had nights where I woke up and thought I didn't have it on and it was right there on my face, lol. Hang in there because it does get better. This board is a valuable support for when you run into rough spots with treatment. Chances are whatever problem you encounter, someone else here has been through it and can give you suggestions to overcoming the hurdle.

why do these posts show they're from 2005 and 2007? Is my
computer wrong??

You must have latched on to it just after someone clicked "delete spam" on a spam post, and the threads removal by the system.

Usually, a few seconds after the "delete spam" is OKayed by the system, the (revived) thread is removed from the list.

No problem with your computer.
