I am channeling DR Singdaw.

Isn't that still an analog channel?  Don't you need a special converter box to tune him in?

[Ron Pulliam]

I am honored to start Page 3!

DR Jane, I believe it is much better to have the sleeping test done at the hospital or wherever it is done in your area. I worry that you are so anxious about it, that you will never have it done.

I am home from physical therapy.  I got into a Facebook battle with a former employer John Yap this morning. I was quite embarrassed about it, but he managed as he usually does to turn it from promoting his recordings to a personal attack.

And on a happier note, the super is here to work on the ceiling. Things seem pleasant enough. Perhaps the landlord used discretion in addressing the issue and perhaps the super needed time to cool down?

[Laura]

Perhaps the landlord convinced the super that you have been quite patient about this situation.

[singdaw]

DR Ron Pulliam - I sympathize with your plight.


If I had the information about the theatre, I would post it. But sometimes, when you swipe photos from the Internet, the background information just isn't there.

I'm up - seven hours - don't know what my problem is this week but it's been rough, sleep-wise

[bk]

Condolences to Singdaw.

I found another commercial - a really popular one.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42JiH4NMvWI

[Jennifer]

Ya, DR Singdaw, I refuse not to use my CPAP machine. Waking up constantly and the resulting headache, nausea, and tiredness...no thanks!

I also am down to waking only about 1.5 to 2 times an hour.

How much does a regular person wake up every hour? Even 1 or 2 times seems like a lot.

Excellent.

I haven't had RC (Royal Crown Cola, for those young and silly enough to be unaware of what the letters stand for) in many years.  In fact, very likely not since my teen years.  We had it in the house now and then in Florida, so, early 1960s.  At some point I committed my life to Coca-Cola and never looked back.

However ... Just a few nights ago I was enjoying all the product-placement views of RC in some movie.  What was it?  THE MECHANIC?  Not sure.  Anyway, it made me really want to taste it for old time's sake.  And now, BK's commercial.  It must be a sign!  So, as God is my witness, I will pick some up today.

[Jennifer]

Lately when I've gone biking around the lake the geese and their family seem to always be in odd spots.  They get out of the lake and walk across the path.

Well yesterday was one of the funnier things I've seen them do.  When I biked around the path the first time they were on the grass on the other side of the path (away from the water). And when I biked around again they were walking in a big line (maybe 20 of them).  They were crossing the path to get to the lake. It looked so funny.

[John G.]

DR JohnG, I meant to ask if you are currently using a mask or the nasal pillows. I was thinking in one of your recent posts you mentioned about possible switching to the nasal pillows.

Anyway, any tricks you have learned, please pass them on!!

I am using the mask. The test showed that I could use the nasal pillows, but that is something that the doctor will have to determine.

Sorry to hear that.

Glad to hear that DR elmore3003's repairs have commenced.  It is about time!

[singdaw]

DR Jennifer - it is not awaking in the normal sense of being alert. It is more your brain stimulating your body to re-open your air passages. You are not aware, in hindsight, that you were "awake," but it DOES prevent your body from falling into the restorative (deep) REM sleep.

[singdaw]

Thanks again to all for the vibes and well wishes.

DITTO!

Yesterday I lost my friend Susan after her long and courageous fight with breast cancer.

Sincere condolences.

[singdaw]

Ah.  A lull.

[Jane]

DR Jane, I believe it is much better to have the sleeping test done at the hospital or wherever it is done in your area. I worry that you are so anxious about it, that you will never have it done.

It hasn't been anxiety that has kept me from doing it, just that not one single doctor has suggested it.  The closest I got was the doctor who had Keith watch me while I sleep.  Keith has never noticed any thing off, not that everyone has obvious symptoms.  Much of my problem is that I'm wide awake, which is why I read so much, or nightmares wake me. 

Keith has been having problems with his elbow which has forced him to sleep on his back instead of his side.  It was funny because while trying to fall asleep in that position he feared he would hear me groaning and keep him awake.  I must really groan a lot

[Jane]

Perhaps the landlord convinced the super that you have been quite patient about this situation.

I hope so because you have been overly patient.

As long as they don't jump out in front of your bike they are fun to watch.

I remember years ago, my mom used to buy RC Cola.  Then she bought some Diet Rite (the diet version of RC Cola) and it was the first diet cola that I liked.  At some point I tried diet Pepsi and liked that even more, and have been drinking DP ever since.  I haven't had diet Rite in a long time, so I don't know if I would still like it as much.  I don't mind diet Coke from a fountain, but I don't care for it when it's from a can.  And I don't like ANY regular (non-diet) cola, at all anymore.  They all just taste too syrupy-sweet, but I don't mind other non-diet sodas (root beer, lemon-lime, orange).  Go figure.

[George]

Well, since we're so close...
