Cygnia Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 That is scary, Starlord. My husband has sleep apnea and is using a CPAP machine. It's been helping a lot. Hopefully, something similar would work for your wife. Starlord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I hope I'd never have to have a CPAP, from what I know of it, it would be hell for me to get to sleep (I have a minor insomnia problem as is*). I don't think wearing something on my face would work well, for sleeping purposes. *Major when in college, but I have less problem with age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I started a CPAP last summer, and it has helped a lot. The mask took about a week to get used to, but fortunately I was in the middle of 7 graduate credit hours in four weeks at the time, so being exhausted enough to fall asleep despite the mask helped. The machine and its attendant supplies are hella expensive, though. Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 well, that might not be helpful with getting used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 But, my mother worries because she does hear me snore sometimes when walking down the hall by my door in the morning. Though, I mainly snore sometimes because I have a tendency to sleep on my side with my chin tucked in on my chest. Kind of squeezes the throat in a little sometimes, I guess.

mattingly Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 From a friend of mine: Flight delays required me to spend the night in Detroit. Rental car with less than 500 miles on it blew a tire in rural Pennsylvania. Now I'm live-troubleshooting tech issues for a medical billing call center. It's been a long week. And it's just Monday.

Badger Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Actually that might be the one thing more painful than the fight. I just know when in the dental office, I'm ready to reveal any info asked of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Well, I did joke one time, that if you have a wife, you should carry a gun with one bullet. Because one day she will ask if she looks fat, and you don't want to be taken alive. BoloOfEarth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Apparently, despite my dinner theatre constantly selling out and getting good to great reviews, we have been getting the lowest tips out of my supervisor's four venues. And she'll be coming in tomorrow to check up on us. She's a good woman -- but she's a micromanager (and she'll even admit it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 God, I hate micromanagers! Sympathies, Cygnia; I know how that goes. My old boss likes to micromanage. If he hadn't transferred to another center, I would have quit my current job by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If you formulate it in terms relevant to their microscopic worldview, a good Epimenides paradox can send a micromanager into a destructive downspiral in a hurry. tkdguy and Duke Bushido 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 It's an unpleasant holiday weekend when: 1. Your pipes back up, so you can't use the dishwasher. 2. The pipe in question is behind the wall in your room, where you have all your important books and miniatures. So you have to move all that stuff around. 3. You have to sleep in the spare room, because your bedroom smells bad. 4. The plumber won't come until the next day. 5. The plumber calls in sick, and the replacement comes in hours later. 6. The replacement tries to overcharge you and won't come down until you say you'll get someone else. 7. You still have to move your stuff back in.
