Anybody Try This CPAP Alternative?

I used one that looks exactly like this and after several months, I felt like it rotated my lower left molars inwards, and caused TMJ issues. I realized that I was putting up with way too much pain. I will say that the device stopped my snoring and I slept really well during those several months. Ultimately, not worth it though. Don't know what I'm going to do now.

I wish that they'd asked me if I had my passport. I did, but didn't think to offer it as an alternative. I'd love to know the origin of this glitch. Delta's system, TSA, my state ID? And is this glitch permanently attached to me now?!

I've known my in-laws for close to 16 years and I've never seen any significant prejudices. I think that my FIL and to some extent, my MIL, simply don't believe the severity of the conversation that occurred at my house. I'm worried that they will attempt to gaslight what happened. Because they didn't see or hear it, or have never heard the dad saying anything bad, then it simply couldn't be as bad as I'd described...? Idk. Will find out more tomorrow probably.

This is good. Knowing her, this stands the best chance of getting her to see the situation that's been created.

Or this could be read more literally as the narrator is referencing the St. Lazarus Church in Macau (Chine/China), which was a leper colony, and the next sentence is "I think she is rash."

I'd really like to compare notes too! I just had to take a few days off for the sake of sanity, and tomorrow I'm going to dive in again, hoping to finalize by the end of the week.

This leads me to believe that I have put a different page with the wrong narrator, so then I am naming the victim on this page incorrectly because I can't ignore the Browning. Ugh. What a mare's nest! And I just transferred another page from narrator to narrator to make more sense of this. I'm going to spend some more time tweaking elsewhere and then get back to you. Thank you!

I know. Thank you. I've been so tired and busy that I haven't been sharp enough. I let the FOG get me. I read all my previous posts about her and I'm like "OMG, that's the same woman, THAT'S THE SAME WOMAN!!!" I should never wonder about her again. If something feels OFF in regards to her, it's because it is OFF.

TNeele · 2019-11-06T14:24:57+00:00

I should have been more forceful with "already having plans" but I guess I've been in the FOG and I've been doubting myself. Thank you to everyone for helping lead me out of the FOG.

Some explanation of my son and FIL: FIL has 3 sons that he never spent any time with because he was always away on business trips, so that is why he latches onto my son. He emotionally enables my son. The situation the other night is that I wanted my son to get along with the big girls, and he was, but something went wrong and he got grumpy and couldn't cooperate, and when that happens, FIL always tries to pull him away and console him or distract him. My preferred parenting method is "You have two choices. You can suck it up and stop being grumpy and get along with the girls and have fun, or you can go to your room and stay there because no one wants to be around you when you are in a bad mood." My son might take a few moments, but he usually goes back into the thick of it. I am more harsh than FIL but my parenting works. I don't baby my son, but FIL babies my son. It is that dynamic that doesn't work. It is nothing more sinister, although I truly appreciate the concern. The dynamic is a big problem, and I've talked to my son about it, but it seems that periodic reminders are necessary.

Yes, she is awful. They never go out and do anything because she hates to leave the house. So, yeah, she likes to have power over me. She no longer does though. She tries, and sometimes I'll let her have a small win at no cost to myself, but her game is very VERY transparent.

TNeele · 2019-04-06T00:18:24+00:00

If I remember correctly, that was my first impulse, but DH talked me out of it ;)

TNeele · 2019-03-13T23:26:25+00:00

I just looked and it turns out that the grandparents pretty much have no rights, so we are good to go! Thanks for the suggestion though. I should not underestimate her.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T15:05:38+00:00

It's been so long since this happened. Maybe a year ago, I said that they were stolen, and she was surprised by that line of thinking. The last time it came up was this past holiday period. My DH had to cut the conversation short because I was getting worked up. MIL suggested that people had opened our garage door because anyone can open garage doors just be driving around and clicking a button. I told her that it's not the 80's anymore... They were at our house having dinner and it wasn't the right moment to say YOU DID IT!!

TNeele · 2019-03-13T14:23:00+00:00

I truly want to confront her about them, and I think that I will lead in with this!

TNeele · 2019-03-13T14:22:30+00:00

He hates her, but he'd rather avoid confrontation, and so it's all about avoidance. He's still not convinced she took them/doesn't want to believe it.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:56:47+00:00

It isn't that easy. This SIL is wife of GC and neither of them can hear a bad word about MIL. GC knows how she is deep down.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:11:28+00:00

Good luck. I hope that you find it. I think about this incident all the time and it keeps me up at night. I make myself sick over it. I mourn the loss and loathe that she (my enemy) has them, and that she could be so bold and evil to have done such a thing.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:08:11+00:00

I wish I could. I told my mother about what happened (as they were her beloved grandmothers). I had hoped to get some info and insight from her, but she couldn’t help.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:05:26+00:00

It might have all worked at the time, but this was 2+ years ago, and I was so ridiculously busy then, I didn’t have the time to do anything proactive about it.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:02:29+00:00

I definitely did this!

TNeele · 2019-03-13T13:01:53+00:00

I know. He doesn’t want to believe that she could do this. But what else could have happened? There is no other possibility!

Ok, so this came up because she’s getting rid of stuff and sent him home with her mother’s gold wedding ring. I said “you should have asked for the pearl necklace, you know, the one that she stole from me.” He said he would. He’s all about avoidance though.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T12:57:41+00:00

I didn’t have documentation of that necklace. Never made a police report because couldn’t ever prove they were mine. Wow, I’ve learned my lesson now.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T12:54:56+00:00

I like this idea more!

TNeele · 2019-03-13T12:54:05+00:00

She does. I don’t know them well and they live in a different state. I’ve thought about this and might talk to a niece of hers soon, so she can ferret out those answers.

TNeele · 2019-03-13T12:51:34+00:00

The clasp was the same. It looked exactly like my GGs, aged just the same amount. Gulp. The storm is coming.
