Bounce Moribund Posters after an hour?

Lately it shows there are 1 or 2 "chatting live" but when you sign in and say hello, noone responds. Maybe they went away and left their computer on, and never logged off. Right now there are 2 names on there, one of which has been on there over 10 hours and non-responsive then and now.

Re: First 8 hour uninterupted sleep!!

Hi Scentastics, I lived in Vermont for 3 years and miss it. I worked in Grand Isle and Williston and lived for a while in Winooski. Once (long before diagnosed with OSA) I woke up and found myself driving 50mph across the Sandbar Bridge. As to the topic, I'm 5 weeks on cpap and seem to always wake u...

Re: Welcome To The New CPAPtalk.com! Post Bugs/Questions Here.

OK please disregard my post of a half hour ago. I had been to some newspaper sites that gave me pop-up ads that kind of went underneath into hiding but were still there tying things up. I quit Safari and had a dickens of a time getting rid of those ads but after I did, I was able to get onto chat no...

Re: Welcome To The New CPAPtalk.com! Post Bugs/Questions Here.

At 8pm EDT I got into chat OK, but now at 9pm I can't - I get the blue screen with the 3 rectangles, and a cursor is blinking in the top one, but when I try to type my name, it doesn't do anything, just stays blinking.

Thanks to this thread I went to Walmart super center this afternoon. They had the 3M in Multisurface only, at widths 1, 1 1/2, and 2 inches. So I bought the one-and-a-half width. They also had blue painters tape multi-surface in the Duck brand, as in duct tape, but I went with the 3M. I work tonight...

Ex-musician

I played sousaphone in high school and a carillon in a bell tower in college. Neither is exactly small.

Nothing now, but I love hearing organ concerts.

Definition of perfect pitch: when you throw the accordion into the dumpster and it lands EXACTLY on the bagpipes.

Hi danmc, Your head feels like "Wilson"? Prompts me to share a story. A couple years ago I drove over to Holyoke, Mass and visited the Volleyball Hall of Fame. There were only two of us there, me and the college kid guard. There was a lot to see and it was great but after half an hour, I commented t...

Me again

Yippee! By trial and error I figured out my password and then went through the profile process. The weight loss is amazing. I've already dropped two pants sizes without feeling hungry. Trips to the bathroom nights are zero, desire for caffeine changed from 12-packs of Diet Pepsi Max to no caffeine a...
