OK, neversleeps, how are you getting the pictures to go on the message, I failed and I have a great picture/joke?

Right click on the picture. Left click properties. Highlight address(URL) and copy it, then come to your post and paste it. After it is pasted here, highlight it and click the Img button. Checking preview will show you if it worked.

After looking up the rules, I am not allowed to attach an image off my computer, only off an outside server. Too bad, it was funny.

If anyone want s to see it, send me you email address and I will send.

LOL! 40 degrees.... -40 degrees... not THAT big a difference... just try to think of it as being in the 40s...

Okay! That's easy enough to do! I still think of myself as in my forties!!

Good answer, RG! (Sounds like the families on Family Feud, "Good answer!") Don't feel so bad. I didn't understand your earlier post about blinking after reading 40 degrees, but now I realize it wasn't 40 after all but -40. Guess I'd better start wearing my reading glasses when I view these posts. Oh, the wonder of aging...

R&R, what place did you think of, by the way? Since you weren't able to share the photo, would you tell us verbally, please? Now I'm curious.

And, Neversleeps, if you keep this up, YOU are going to be charge of all planned activities for the convention. What do you think of that??? I get what you're doing here, the reverse psychology deal...you're not fooling me one bit.

Hey Lori,
This is a GREAT idea!!!! Unfortunately, money is a real issue for me....it would have to be on the cheap side for me to be able to go. You know...Indiana is centrally located...hint...hint...

Lori, I also think it is a GREAT idea! However, don't know if I would be able to afford it, no matter how much I would like to. Would be wonderful to put a face, voice etc. with all you great folks. Just don't give up on the idea and I will start saving toward a trip.

Indiana, Wisconsin, Michegan, there have been quite a few suggestions thrown out there. I think $$$ is an issue for most on this issue. A lot of us have trouble coming up with extra money just to buy a mask, let alone a vacation for this purpose. If only we could get our insurance companies to cover it as an educational learning tool for our condition. Have you stopped laughing yet? I was going to say, if we can't even get a mask out of them but every 3-6 months, like they'd actually cover this??? I know, I'm a dreamer.

Did you see how Severeena/Sharon actually was beyond generous in offering to have it at her home? Must be some home, as large as her heart. What an offer. I don't know if she realizes what she was getting into, or maybe she does and she's just wonderfully generous like that. She lives in Wisconsin.

I wish I knew just how many people really would be interested in attending something like this because I'd really hate to spend the time and energy needed to locate possibilities on where to hold it and then have five people reply in the positive as far as coming. Maybe it's a pipe dream that will never get off the ground. I don't know.

And lets not forget the wonderfully inviting state of Minnesota!

I live in south florida so your picture was really awesome!!! was that 40 below in the daytime? no way. as far as a convention/meeting whatever I think its a great idea and if done correctlly could prove a huge plus for attendees as they not only get to meet everyone but also compare notes and learn about the latest tech. etc. (rested gal will need her own convention center for all the people she has helped!)

I was thinking of asking Rested Gal to be one of our speakers, if that was possible to get her to do. Although she is full of great advice and knows a lot, I don't know how she'd feel about standing in front of a room loaded with people like us and presenting a speech of some sort. I'll bet she'd be one of the best received guests there. Like's there a homecoming queen at the prom, she can be CPAP Queen of the convention.

Look, if this doesn't work out, someone else mentioned there is a conference held every year for OSA sufferers. I'd be interested in hearing the details on that and maybe our site can attend, or those of us who are able to get to the location and want to attend. Whoever mentioned it, if you see this again, would you fill us in?

PS: Never mind. It was a guest who said it was a conference for RLS and Valve Replacment. But if anyone knows of any existing ones we could attend, that would be an alternative.
