That sucks, so body becomes dependent on it then?

I had a cpap for a while, my apnea was partially hereditary and partially weight related. I lost 50 pounds and don't have the apnea issues any more. No longer sleep with the cpap. So you can transition away if your circumstances change.

That's really what I'm hoping. I also want to get a second sleep study but ask that they let me sleep on my side, I'm pretty sure mine is positional. I never sleep on my back because I will usually wake up snoring. They told me in my case I probably won't benefit from losing weight but I might try it anyway. I don't have much to play with though, if I lose too much then I'll be underweight which probably has it's own health issues. Can probably still lose like 10 lbs and stay within healthy weight so worth a try.

Many years ago I got home to a pissed off roommate. He called me into the laundry room and told me that he had just got back from swimming and threw his vans in the dryer to dry them real quick. He pulled his bloody shoes out of the dryer and told me I was gonna have to pay for them because my cat was in the dryer when he put his shoes in. My cat was in the dryer covered in blood with few broken floppy legs dead as fuck.

MY fiancée ( now wife ) saved his ass. Last time I saw the guy he was sleeping in his car. He sure as fuck wasn't living in my house.

Holy crap that's brutal. Do people not look in the dryer before they put something in? I do it instinctively, mostly to check if I forgot the last load in there. I also don't let my cat in there, she does not even know about the dryer or washer.

I remember hearing a story of someone going to use the microwave to warm up something, and the cat was inside... and yeah the result was not pretty, what a horrible way to go. I just don't get how those things happen. By default I always look inside of an appliance when I'm putting something in it.

Getting close to 11pm on a Sunday a few of my favorite pizza joints were closed so I tried one of the many places around I haven't given a shot for a delivery. Pizza was ok, but where were the toppings? Pretty sparse

We just had the hottest weekend in like 100 years...so the ice maker in the new-ish (last Sept.) KitchenAid refrigerator decided to take a shit.
Called KitchenAid/Whirlpool customer support today...will probably be AT LEAST a week before they can find a technician to come out here...and get him the parts.
To add insult to injury...because of the hot weather, the entire town (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.) ran out of ice until Wednesday...POSSIBLY Tuesday, but not likely) A couple of the local bars' ice makers took shits this weekend as well, and were paying patrons to drive 25 miles into town to get ice for them. (if they could find it...lots of stores there were out as well)

IMO that's a singularly unimpressive pizza.

FYI, you can make ice from water. :p
