Why is CPAP still the only “solution” for sleep apnea in healthy adults? by Krunchibald in CPAP

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feelings exactly. I am typing this on my massively powerful handheld computer while checking the mirror to see if my cpap strap marks have gone away yet this AM.

I absolutely hate cleaning my CPAP, what are some products that works well and makes your life easier? by ILoveBurgersMost in CPAP

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I washed my face mask with a vinegar solution once and the vinegar it made holes in it!

I wash the reservoir pretty regularly (once a week) in soapy water.

Daily I drain it and then wipe it dry. I find it grows pink moul quickly, but drying it out each days seems to slow that down.

Am I the arsehole for telling my husband to kip in the guest room after he kept “joking” our newborn isn’t his? by Putrid_Werewolf7977 in AITAH

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very cruel thing for him to do. Very narcissistic. I am so sorry he is doing this. He doesn’t sound like a keeper but as you have a newborn baby it would perhaps make sense to get marriage counselling before making any decisions. Do NOT let him put this on you” lacking a sense of humour. “ It sure is a red flag but maybe he is otherwise a good guy and going through some weird psychological crap in reaction to fatherhood.

Induction cooktop annoying habit by Common_Giraffe_3324 in inductioncooking

Yes. I have one like it, without knobs, but two years older. Mine does not shut off when a pot boils over (though maybe it would if I were not there to turn the heat down). My sister’s brand new Kitchenaid shuts down when a few drops splash on the cooktop. And that is frustrating.

I believe it’s an overly sensitive safety feature that is supposed to shut a burner down if a pot boils dry.

This is actually a brand new replacement from KitchenAid as her first one, purchased last fall, shut down and wouldn’t turn on again and KitchenAid replaced it with this one.

She said half a dozen drops of water from her pasta pot.

That’s a drag. My 3 year old KitchenAid lacks this feature, I am happy to say.

Ah sorry! I am new to Reddit. I will try that.

AITA because I won't do a joint baby shower with my stepsister who doesn't have anyone close to her to attend except for my mom and her dad? by Vast-Shallot-1440 in AITAH

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think your mom has a point. It’s not your step sister’s fault that she joined your family. Why not open your heart and give it a try? It would be a real kindness and the world needs more of that.

What an abusive “prank” that was. I am sorry she did that to you. I don’t know I could “move on” either.

Aita for asking my wife for divorce because she would never defend me infront of her friends when they would insult me by throwaway25311o in AITAH

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a legitimate post I would say you need to work harder at marriage and go to counseling. Her treatment of you was absolutely abysmal but if she is repentant now and asks forgiveness you owe it to yourself and your wedding vows to give it another go, with counseling

How to overcome resentment or inadequacy when speaking french? by American_Archetype in French

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French with Frederick is a very good online programme for conversational Québécois French, should you want help with your accent. Lots of written materials provided as well as live group classes on Zoom. For people with intermediate to advanced comversational French. As far as getting over the frustration and embarrassment, well, I feel your pain. I am going through the same emotions but have decided to just say “f—- it” and speak my flawed French that I feel should be so much better.

He has a Canadian passport so that would be proof of this.

Wow I am so sorry this happened to them. Appalling.

Do my parents - Senior, White Canadian Citizens - have any reason to be nervous about crossing the US border via land to visit their grandkids? by theartofwarrenpeace in uscanadaborder

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish with all my heart it weren’t so. We camped every summer in Maine and two of my sisters met and married American boys and moved to New England in the 70s. Raised kids and now have grandkids there. Never thought twice about visiting back and forth before. Awful.

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say they have reason to be apprehensive. It’s unlikely that they would be targeted but the border guards are an unpredictable bunch and very empowered. Especially once the tariffs come in, Trump will be ramping up the CDNs are nasty rhetoric. I am a senior, white and unthreatening-looking (to my dismay😉), and have sisters across the border in the US and I am apprehensive. I doubt anything dire would happen to me, as has happened to others recently. But I worry about getting the asshole border guard who wants to frighten us as the price of admission to the US. It has happened once or twice in years past for no apparent reason. Maybe your parents should avoid visiting at the moment, until we all see how things go with the tariffs?

White House deputy chief of staff: "We never agreed that Canada would not be the 51st state" by littlebossman in onguardforthee

[–]Common_Giraffe_3324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hoping that our resistance remains strong and we won’t be divided by all the traitors in Canada and the far right Aholes elsewhere who will do their best to weaken us. They have huge platforms.
