New YAIR’s Resolutions Loopholes

Post by mikemoran » Fri Dec 23, 2005 8:40 am

What is a resolution unless you can find a way around it?

I will stop wearing my mask when greeting my daughter’s dates at the front door. – But I can wear it when I chaperone her High School Dance

I will stop writing my DME’s phone number in restroom stalls with the following phrase “This place Blows” – I will replace it with “Blowing for Big Bucks”

I will not purposely adjust my mask to make embarrassing noises just as my wife is about to fall asleep. – I will wait until she is completely asleep and make it as loud as possible.

I will stop using my CPAP as a makeshift bathtub Jacuzzi. – And permanently install it.

I will limit my humidifier Night Caps to one per night. – But I can make it a triple.

I will stop titrating the family pets. – And start using the neighbor’s pets.

When friends or family visit overnight I will not strap them into a CPAP, no matter how loud they snore. – I will use an APAP instead.

I will only wear pantyhose as a mask support and not for how they make my legs look. – This does not limit my use of stockings and garter belts.

I will stop attaching Scrunchies to the walls in every room in the house as decorating accents. – But the hallways are fair game..

I will store my mask collection in a drawer and dismantle the display I have put up in my living room. – This will give me room to put up my xPAP and hose collection.

I will remove the bumper sticker “Honk if you have been Hosed” from my car. – And replace it with “I (Heart) My Hose”

Hope you all have a Restful and Prosperous New Year.

Maybe resolve to establish one humor column for those interested and posting as a followup to it rather than starting a new thread everytime.

This would make one continuous thread rather than pushing off PAP related topics.

awww, Tom, ya ol' grinch! LOL! I like Mike's separate topic method. Makes 'em easy to list and easy to find. And....easy to skip if you're just not into that.

Me, I look forward to them.

Au contrair, RG.

My suggestion would greatly improve his exposure and allow newbies who enjoy such to enjoy them all.

If he would simply start his next inspiratons labeled Mikes Humor corner, then post his writing, he could then simply add to this string from then on.
This would keep all of them - at least those from this point in one string.
Of course your link to his past ones would be there and let them see all of them.

If the present method is continued, all will be lost for those who do not go to previouss pages.
It would also have the effect of not pushing other topics off the page.
Sometimes he has 4 space- right now he has 3-
Not at all a grinch. Trying to make it more sensible.
But you are right, those not interested would not have to look

Tom,

I understand what you are saying. However, your suggestion would mean I would have one post 40 pages long by now. I may push things down in the board but that is the nature of a post stream. I don't think I displace that much and this way everyone knows if it is a new posting from me. In yoru approach they wouldn't know if it was new or just comments.

Willing to consider alternatives.

I'm not worried by Mike's posting pushing other topics down - I agree with Rested Gal and Mike.

Running into the humorous posts every now and then without planning to look for them in a special corner is part of the fun. You're in foul mood, youv'e been fighting your mask half the night, and the rest of the world all day, you're looking for some tips, or comfort, and suddenly one of those Mikemoran posts appears on the list.

You click in anticipation, or else your mood is foul enough for you to skip in frustration....

Mike, I did think of one possibility - since you are also a serious poster, and some people might want to concentrate only on those posts - how about adding a smiley or an (H) to your humorour ones? Or an (S) to the serious ones?
