The Oregon uniforms are ok today (they change every game); Oregon is fired up, they did the bush league move of encrouching over the 50s while Ohio State was at their 45, and what was worse is their fans cheered it. I expect Oregon to come out riding a wave of emotion based on the pregame

I can't think of anything, this year has been headed downhill since February, with something catastrophic happening every month. I guess actively using FF, and interacting with such great people.

Wow. It's hard to pick just one thing. Made new FFriends, got to meet some of them IRL, traveled a lot, spent time with friends and family, survived drama, etc. Here's to a wonderful 2010 for all of you.

I think I went through three of them. Had to even put some stuff on them to keep the dog away from it. Ended up putting a hook on the wall where I hung the mask by straps so nothing could get to it.

Is that something for snoring? My dog (D.Bo - the baby) will eat anything. We call him a goat! Sorry - we have learned the hard way not to leave anything they can get to if we aren't watching them.

My wife had a CPAP machine for a while but couldn't get used to it. She's got an appliance now that fits in her mouth and moves her bottom jaw forward. It works great, she is sleeping so much better. However, the dog got that once too... a frickin $500 mistake :(
- Ken Morley
this is one of many reasons why we don't have pets. as such, i just started using my spare CPAP mask cos the old one reached the end of usefulness (got leaky around the edges). always keep a spare of whatever make/model/size you use. i've been using one since 2001 and ju$t replaced it earlier thi$ year. amazing how small and quiet they've gotten!
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
sleep apnea is alot more than just snoring. really, it's where you stop breathing for minutes at a time and just lay there unconscious and suffocating in your sleep. untreated, it can cause heart and lung and brain damage, all of which i have in varying degrees.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
OK, thanks. Would have offered a backup if he was local. Reminds me: I need to order a new mask.
- FF's Bubba of Arizona
Holy resurrected thread batman! The damned dog attacked my mask 3 separate times this week. The first time she ripped the whole mask to shreds. The 2nd time, she just tore up the pieceto get to the nasal pillow, the DME (supplier) gave me new one free. The NEXT DAY she went after the same part. Today I found she popped the start button off the damned machine. My insurance co sucks so I have to pay 100% for all supplies until I meet deductible. The dog's future is very much up in the air right now.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Joe, My O2 sats dropped as low as 80% during my sleep study. I surely have brain damage from the Apnea. There is a chunk of my memory that is just GONE. I barely remember my daughter as a baby and I have been her primary care giver since she was born.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Thanks for the offer of a spare Mask Bubba. I appreciate that. I have a friend in Chicago who uses the same mask as me and she gets a new one every 6 months. I need to call her :)

Michael, We're here. How can we help right now? I'm sorry I'm not there. Do you have someone near? Of course, I am praying for you as soon as I saw. But if you need someone to talk with we're here. DM me if you want. I am OC, too.
- Melanie Reed
Let us know when you can dear brother if you have someone with you for support, medical or otherwise. In the meanwhile, I will stay up with you through the night in prayer. Please let us know how you are when you can and see this.
- Melanie Reed
Michael, still here and checking back. Am praying the psalms for you. You are not alone. He is with us no matter what we go through. Do not fear. Take courage. Right alongside you.
- Melanie Reed
Michael, the fact that you are experiencing this pain demonstrates that not only are you able to cope with it but that you could endure more. Whenever you survive the experience of any pain, you have already beaten that pain. You've already beaten it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Still with you, Michael. Rest. You have many praying on your behalf and you have the victory now. God bless you.

Michael, still here. I'll be here most of day working online.

Michael, how are you today? Still praying for you. @EasternOrthodox I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall ever be on my lips. In the Lord my soul will be praised; let the meek hear and be glad. We have the victory because He conquered the world for us. hang on to that. God bless you.
- Melanie Reed
Thanks, everyone! The difficult part is keeping mentally stable during a bout of pain. I'm not handling it as well as I'd like, but I'm working on it. My oncologist put me on morphine (insurance won't pay for oxycontin until I try morphine first), so it should be under control now.
- Michael McKean
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hang in there :)

I am glad it is more under control now, Michael. It isn't an easy burden you carry

Good Lord, I missed this earlier, but I've been praying for you daily since your first post about your illness popped up in my feed. I will focus those prayers a bit more now.

Hi, Keiko! Yes I know Onigiri. I'm an anime fan ( almost an otaku :P )

when I went there I was not sure what to eat so I use to go to DDs...now I would go for the tempura but I was traveling with two guys(and now one of the is my bestest friend ever) that I just meet and was not that adventurous food wise at that time
- VAL D. Zone
Oh....What a waste! You can't eat there? Don't you like?
- Keiko Yamada
Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki and Taiyaki (well, probably all sorts of other stuff too, but those are the top three.)

For sure Sushi o Sashimi: dove abito io si mangiano molte cose simili. E i giapponesi comprano da noi i tonni ;)

I'd want to splurge on a kaiseki meal so that I could try many of the best things. And also get some proper ramen so I could see what it's supposed to really be like.

I think you can eat anyone Japanese food, in USA?
- Keiko Yamada
@Keiko - I've had taiyaki and takoyaki at Mitsuwa a few times, and homemade onkonomiyaki from friends who have either lived or studied in Japan.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yes, we can, and sometimes it's really good. But I'd like to see how it's done in Japan, too.

When I'm in Japan, what I really want is katsu kare. (Just kidding. I do like katsu kare, but when I taught English in Japan, I would tell students katsu kare was my favorite Japanese food. It always made them laugh.)

- Viva Vida
@Keiko, I was born in raised in LA and now live in the Bay Area (California). There's a large Japanese population in both these areas and plenty of Japanese restaurants all around. Also, I've studied Japanese since high school all through college and grad school. 8^D Needless to say, Japanese food has grown on me. 8^D

According to Ninja Warrior / Sasuke, the Gifu prefecture has some ssssmokin' firemen! I mean, ah, the best places for being educated on the culture. [edit:You know what? I don't read carefully. I don't want to eat a prefecture or firemen... or publicly announce that I do. I was trying to state where I wanted to go ROFL!]
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Okonomiyaki will do, since I can't seen to find it in one of the at least 9 Japanese restaurants in town.Since I don't know what sukiyaki is, maybe that, too. I may google it later. [corrects Tablet Input Panel's spelling goof]

If she really is diabetic, ketoacidosis could have caused the cardiac arrest. I had it twice and was very close to death. You hallucinate and overall dka is a very scary experience.

Her husband not wanting an autospy though, seems fishy.

Natural causes, as in, someone didn't kill her and she didn't kill herself.

It still all sounds kind of fishy. Heart condition? Past drug use? Hearing lots of ideas.

I'll never forget that number, because the doctor's didn't really...

No, I don't remember. But that sounds really scary.
- Araceli
Yeah, everyone... let's just keep firing the flames of wild rampant speculation, shall we? After all, it's only a person's life and death we're discussing. A public persona, no less... so why should they or their family have any hope of privacy. We do have a right to feed our darkest slimiest thoughts, don't we? Especially when we can do so at the expense of others' integrity?
- Mark "Godt Nyt Ǻr"
We all understand it's someone's life and death we're discussing. And no one here is disrupting their privacy or integrity. Or even speculating, we're just repeating what has already been stated in news articles. It's a natural human curiosity to wonder what happened, so that we may apply it to our own knowledge and lives. Thank you. Have a good day.
- Araceli
from email
Araceli, I understand the curiosity, and when it is based on some real concern for the subject it's a good thing. When it starts to become another on-going saga like that which followed the Anna Nicole Smith situation, it's no longer really about concern, is it? My comment was intended as cautionary in this thread, and was really directed more broadly at the swell in seemingly baseless speculation that inevitably is starting to appear on the internet (and in a few other threads here on FF.)
- Mark "Godt Nyt Ǻr"
Well, I can see how my comments sound like I am speculating on her death. I am saddened by it, and also miffed because of how cruel some comments have been (other places). When I heard the words: diabetic, cardiac arrest, and vomit, my thoughts went to a personal experience. Of course, I am not the coroner, so really my words are only opinions. (Other than what I know with my own experience.) I hope it didn't sound "preachy" or "pity me", because that is not what I was aiming for.
- Lauren
It seems that just today there has been (at my count four) conflicting stories between natural to overdose to cocaine use. Hard to figure what's what and I don't think we'll know until toxicology comes back.
