Off-Topic / Re: Sleep apnea

« on: May 14, 2018, 10:22:18 am »Message ID: 1215383

Age definitely has nothing to do with it.  I consider myself to still be relatively young at <50 and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about three years ago and have been using a CPAP machine ever since.  And from the way I was snoring - I probably could have used it at age 30 or earlier! 


The sleep study itself is not that big of a deal - just expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it.  I had a pretty high deductible when I got my sleep study done, so it was almost entirely out of pocket for me.  But thankfully that allowed me to HIT my deductible prior to my gall bladder screaming that it no longer wanted to be my friend and insisted that we end our relationship.

I never have been and don't think I would ever want to be hypnotized, but it is real.


Google the name Michael Fine and hypnosis and you'll find a plethora of news stories about how this scumbag used hypnosis to take advantage of several women in vulnerable situations.  I briefly knew this guy professionally years before he was exposed.

Even though the terms of service state minimum standards for qualifying posts needed to earn the monthly $3 bonus, I have never heard of anyone having been denied the bonus.  My current forum bonus streak stands at 34 months.  I do not plan on slowing down anytime soon.  There is no easier money out there!

this is the second time you have deleted the income I have made when I get close to cashout .  This site is a waste of time.

Do the absolute minimum amount of work to earn the absolute minimum amounts from a simple daily routine visit and you will never lose a cent due to the 180 cash out policy.  This site is not a scam and is not a waste of time (if you bother to come back and spend five minutes or less a day).

Luke127 is not a newbie. Last year I did very well with this site, but now under a different name you are frauding the peoples that are helping you.

So you are openly admitting to breaking the rules by opening a different account?

Well, my father lived a few extra years thanks to those sinners and that allowed me to spend a little bit of extra time with him that I otherwise wouldn't have had.  So, I decided last year to do my part and give up a pint every couple of months.

I am a regular whole blood donor and have never donated only plasma.  I am actually scheduled to make a blood donation in about 6 hours from now. For those who have done both whole blood and plasma donations - how do the actual experiences differ?  I've heard that plasma donations take much longer.

Not really the intended focus of your question, but the most annoying movie I've ever watched was Michael Moore's "documentary" Bowling for Columbine.  Annoying because it was anything but a documentary -- full of lies and half-truths intended to push his own agenda.

May I toss a third hat into the ring?  We do not have any Popeyes nearby, so I have never had the option of eating their chicken.  I don't know how far their franchises operate, but we have a Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken in town which is quite comparable to KFC in menu options and so forth.  I very much prefer Lee's to KFC.

I'm a Pens fan and am happy for the Caps.

I am a Pens fan and I am not at all happy for the Caps.   


But I suppose someone had to dethrone the Pens...  I am pulling for the Predators now - after last year's Cup finals.

I was just about to post a few photos in your other thread where I made the Hocking Hills suggestion, but the photo linking wasn't working out for me, so I unfortunately did not post.  Sounds like maybe you found a few for yourself?  It really is a beautiful place!  I was less than 10 years old the last time I was there, but still have vivid memories of exploring the trails and rock formations.  I'll be going back in just over a week for a family wedding.


There are also some Amish settlements not tremendously far away from that area which could be worth a side trip.
Good luck with the continued search!

I have a few recipes that use honey.  I just made one with honey and soy sauce and chicken.  Very good.

Care to share that recipe with someone who loves all three of those ingredients?

Secluded cabins with hiking trails that lead to waterfalls, caves, beaches.  Great food (sea-food is not a liking) mining would be fun,  Shows/comedy?

Things we want to avoid; horseback riding, mini golf, roller coasters

In two weeks, we are going to a wedding in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio. Depending on where you are starting from and how far you are willing to travel, that area alone would satisfy several of your criteria for cabins, hiking trails, water falls and caves.


My wife and I had a three part destination honeymoon in 2005 - Gettysburg, PA, stayed at an awesome B&B and toured the historic sites; Lancaster, PA - stayed at another great B&B, had dinner at an Amish family's home (cannot beat their food) and went to a live dinner theater (which hits another of your possible criteria); then we went on to Wildwood, New Jersey and stayed at a family member's condo.  It was too chilly for us to go to the beach - but that was available.


Depending on the time you have available for multiple destinations, I would enthusiastically recommend any of the above locations.  And if B&B's are anyone's thing I would doubly recommend the Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg or Lovelace Manor in Lancaster.


Good luck with the planning!

That never happens to us, so I can't really say how I feel about it.  But I suppose it is like others have said and it just depends on who it is.  If it was close family or friends, I think it would be a nice surprise (unless I was in the middle of some important or time sensitive project).  On the other hand, if it was the FBI showing up unannounced - it probably would bother me.
