Well if anyone can generate enthusiasm about cpap equipment, it would be you Abby! This award-worthy triple dog dare thread is proof positive! I think most of us on this forum would be happy to write you a glowing letter of recommendation -- cpap.com would be lucky to have you on their team. Good luck, I hope it works out.

I didn't actually put them on this animals. I was planning to, but somebody wanted animal photos, and I didn't have time to set up a background and get a helper (in the middle of the night) to do it. So, I just mask photos off cpap.com cut out the background, and adjusted them to fit over the pet photos. I may do a real cat photo on Sunday. I'll be at a cat show doing photo sessions, so I can take my cats in there and try an old nasal mask as a full face (literally) on my own cats.
OK, you got me! It looked real to me! I hope no one sees this! I can't keep up with all you computer geeks!
Doris, when I read your original comment I thought you were kidding. I have to admit though, Zoo did a great job pasting that mask photo onto the photo of her dog. I had to look twice myself. When I saw that the nasal pillows were touching the dog's snooter, that's when I said to myself, "Noooo....no way!" I mean, I'm sure Zoo loves her pets, but not THAT much!

I'm sorry if I ask too many questions Doctor, but I hope you understand that breathing while sleeping is very important to me. I'd prefer not to be like the man who drowned while crossing a river with an average depth of 6 inches.

Well, I don't have the job. I haven't even talked to them yet. I did apply the second I saw it though. Feel free to put in a good word for me! Hopefully they won't hold my "colorful" use of the English language in the forums against me. Oops.

Abby, tell the cpap.com people at your interview that in less than one month your thread has had almost eleven thousand views. Is that potential customer exposure or what?!? Seriously, good luck, I hope this works out for you.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something will come of it. There are a lot of people in Houston though. Hey, anybody here need some inspiration and get up and go?? I know I did today. Look what I found: http://tinyurl.com/8k8sfga It's an awesome youtube video of Dergin dancing on crutches. O_O You can thank me later!

Angela...Carolyn Goodman (cpap.com) is usually on the forum every day and has more than likely already read your thread. She can't help but agree that you would be a perfect candidate for the position...if you can get as much attention as you have with this thread you are a shoe in for the job.
Good luck..you rock girl.
Cheers
Nan

Nan, that's greatly appreciated! I sure hope you're right! I'm a bit like my fellow Okie native, Will Rogers, I never met a man I didn't like. Though, with me saying it, it sounds more like a Mae West quote. Tee hee!

Dear Carolyn Goodman, if you're really out there, put in a good word for me at your Houston store? Pretty please with sugar on top? You won't regret it! Pinkie promise! (Angela Dawn Molledahl is my actual name. Soon to be Angela Dawn Womack)

Hey Nan, what happened with that little girl you told me about? Is she out of her eye patch? I hope she's doing well and is happy. That story still makes me smile! <hugs> You guys be sure to watch that video I just posted a link to!! It really will make your day! xoxo, Angela

Talk about living life to the fullest... that was beyond amazing!

Good luck with the job. I hope it's yours.

Yup, she's still wearing it...sequins, glitter and all! I was with her at a wedding on the weekend and the adults that didn't know the circumtances, kept saying "How cute". She was the flower girl, and the patch she had on matched her dress
