Thanks brain_cloud... That was both hilarious and very kind of you to say. I also appreciate the overly generous words from others... including Amigo!brain_cloud wrote: And while we are on the subject of not being cowardly, who here will admit to having a man-crush on -SWS? Show of hands.
If -SWS were to ask me to marry him, I would have to think long and hard about whether my purported heterosexuality is really something to make a big to-do over.
But back to that interesting marriage proposal... Well, I'm married and also heterosexual as it turns out. Still I'm thinking we might be able to fantasize something along these lines:
Say! If we ever become professional bowlers or golfers maybe we can become best roommates when we're on tour...! We can play marathon scrabble or work daunting crossword puzzles on our off days----with Jaylee on the speaker phone listening to the really BIG words."
Jaylee, does that work for you?

Re: TROLL ALERT! - IF YOU ARE BORED HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO TROLL
Before this thread dies a timely death and gets relegated into "the cpaptalk storm archive" (I've just made that archive up...) I'd like to add a few serious comments:
In case anyone is wondering what jnk's response is to my post: He responded to me by PM, he did not ignore my words, and his response was the one we would expect from the kind, gentle person we have come to know and love.
We all get into messes at times, and do our best to extricate ourselves from them - I believe the "jnk"/"who" issue is one of those cases.
-SWS however started the discussion about another split identity, one who has been conspicuously silent for many pages: the person who also posts as "Really", using that word to make other people's statements sound ridiculous, or dishonest, belittling them quite consistently. The vast majority of members on this forum have their occasional insulting mis-steps or foot in the mouth moments in the contexts of truly and sincerely trying to help others - be it in trying to help emotionally, being in trying to help technically. "Really" is unique in being consistently and - IMO - intentionally insulting.
"jnk" - whose split was not the reason the discussion started, has an outstanding capacity to help people feel accepted and welcome - and I have not the slightest doubt this was always done with utmost sincerity. Unlike "Really", "who" was never purposely cruel. And it is important to remember that.
Even the member who uses "Really" in a way that causes so much discomfort, tries to help in his other identity. I have said very sharp things about him and that habit of his, and I do not take them back. However, I have come the conclusion that "Really" is really not that important. All of us, and I do mean all who are no longer rank newbies, are here because posting and interacting serves some narcissistic needs. We sincerely love helping, and - if we are honest with ourselves - we love having our help (and our personas here) acknowledged no less. The other half of "Really" is here to help too, and I suppose that should suffice for all of us. "Really" has become a non-issue for me, another troll to be ignored.
Anyone still following this thread and feeling confused - don't worry too much about who is who. You will pick up the basic humanity of the personality you interact with, you can choose who you prefer to listen to, and you will get the help you need. Your stay here, long or short, will turn out to have been worth while. Just make sure you do your cpap related posting in public, since, to use a quote that will ring a bell for many of the oldtimers - and that jnk himself used as a byline for a long time:
It's the Jewish New Year in less than two weeks: Shana Tova - Happy New Year, my friends in cpap-dom. I wish you all health, success and happiness, and healthy narcissistic satisfaction wherever you choose to post and whomever you choose to post as.
A final word for the OP -- if you're still following this thread, or looking for help in your CPAP journey, you as welcome on this forum as you were before this thread started. We know cpap therapy is about life, and not about games.

For instance, all of SAG's characters are CUOEA 's == Chronic Users Of Esoteric Abbreviations....NoMuffy wrote:. Most to all forum characters (even the secondary ones) tend to keep their personality traits consistent, so simply putting those that one doesn't care for on their "Foes" list should solve most of their issues.
For instance, while all SAG characters have one trait in common (they're all chiliaphobes), NotMuffy has Tourette's-level patience, about the same level of appropriateness (although she thinks it's more like "Satirical Humor") and generally DGAF.

Happy New Year.SAG wrote:A blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says "Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident."
The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing "That's horrible!!! So many men dying that way!"
Confused, he says, "Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved."
After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, "How many is a Brazilian?"

The big blue eye-boob here very much likes your post Ozij.
NM nice joke great way to start the day On the other hand, one of our paragliding instructors died this past weekend, trying to save some new student who got into trouble in the air. No one knows what really happened. Student is fine but with broken bones. Sad day for our airfield and his family.
I would like to get in line for the -SWS crush I'll follow the bowlers but not the golfers, though.

Ozij, thank you for sharing part of your conversation with jnk. Both of you have a strong connection with this forum and with me personally and what you both say has much value. Shana Tova to you, all my Jewish friends here, and to the State of Israel.

I had hoped my previous comments would have given Really an opportunity to come in and say something, anything, but now I gotta go with o.

ozij, what a perfect post!
Your thoughts, and Sleeping_Ugly's a few pages back ( viewtopic.php?p=512940#p512940 ) express more completely and eloquently than I could, the way I regard multiple personas posts.
I did have to smile at this, that you wrote...

I loved your post, O. The Jewish New Year is about making amends. If I've hurt of offended anyone here on this forum, please forgive me.
I wish all of you a happy and healthy year. May you all wake up refreshed, with no gas and bloating, no welts on your noses, and AHIs < 0.0!!
