The recent East Coast travel delays are a good reminder to "carry-on" all your cpap equipment with you

This is so funny. I've been on this board for over a year and I always thought Slinky was a male. Now I have to get my hear around it being a female. I swear the F or M was not there before. Surely I would have noticed....

Warning to senior citizens planning to travel--(don't reckon there are any here, though):
Glycerine anywhere means freak-out time--so, no suppositories.
Sorry, we just gotta "tuff it out."
