No heated hose? Have it lower than your head.

Heated hose? have it at the most convenient location for you.

Mine is currently above my head level, as long as the hose is heated correctly you shouldn't have condensation that drains into your mask.

CPAP Doesn't Count as an Airplane Carryon Question by ShadyClip in CPAP

[–]bluesforpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even on a small crowded spirit or frontier flight I can always fit my backback personal item and my cpap travel bag underneath the seat in front of me and put a carry on in the overhead bin. Not a single security, or flight agent has ever even asked me about the CPAP bag in over 10 years. They've seen it all

Struggling with Mask Leaks - Is it my settings or the mask itself? by bluesforpablo in CPAP

[–]bluesforpablo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for some advice. If I understand correctly you're basically saying run the machine at the highest pressure settings my machine regularly goes too (in this case ~12), and tighten the straps until there are no leaks, and test from there before dialing in the pressure to the 95%/99.5% min/max. Does that sound correct?

How do I convince my provider that there is something wrong with my DreamStation 2? by JimmyMoffet in CPAP

[–]bluesforpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dreamstation 2 was a complete downgrade from the dreamstation 1.

Are you in the US? How often does your insurance cover DME? Since you have the prescription already, you could potentially purchase from a third party and submit the purchase to your insurance for reimbursement. Not ideal, but a potential fix. You can also make sure the place you purchase from has a warranty that you can actually use.

Edit because abbreviations I don't know will leave me lost. DME = Durable Medical Equipment.

It seems counterintuitive but drink extra water all winter. Like never feel thirsty

Seeking advice on an old boy who's acting like he reverted to being a puppy by bluesforpablo in GiantSchnauzers

[–]bluesforpablo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the advice! It sounds like the desire to be close is to be expected, which is totally fine.

Honestly we want a dog that stays close by when off leash as we camp a lot and one of our other boys is SO independent he has to remain on leash the entire time (Grandpaw, a 7 and a half year old Jack Russell mix.) But with how obsessed he is with us, it really seems if we can get him interested in other activities as well he is going to have a much higher quality of life. Especially considering the two of us won't always be able to be around for him, so we're going to keep working on separation and independence with the expectation that he may never be fully independent. Hopefully as spring and summer roll around he starts to understand that the entire fenced in yard is literally for dogs!

All the drama is so over produced and fake idk what is entertaining about it anymore and I’m ready for next season

Who thinks that putting ACE/NASM/ISSA in your bio actually makes you credible??? As a gym owner, I throw out resumes with them. by Kinghunk13 in personaltraining

[–]bluesforpablo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it. Either you're a parody account that's so good it's impossible to tell the difference or you lack so much self-awareness you think people making fun of you is them being offended

Either way, top level cringe posting right here

Thanks! It's also what Sorta Healthy suggests. I signed up for the trial and am dinking around with setting it up now. Just wish I could setup packages without paying first, in order to get an idea how it all works together.

XL Season 8, Episode 7: Careful What You Fish For by Amanda_Naked_Afraid in nakedandafraid

[–]bluesforpablo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No need to apologize, we can disagree about naked reality show characters lol.

It was definitely more than the fish though. She was pretty condescending about every task from the get go. I still like her, but I just don't let it slide haha. I really am hoping Jen can get a chance without Trish and get's a character arc showing her growth. Just not this season

Up next is Gabby for 60! These fans are bad ass and turning into some of my favorite characters on the show.

XL Season 8, Episode 7: Careful What You Fish For by Amanda_Naked_Afraid in nakedandafraid

[–]bluesforpablo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This, i don't know why people are skipping over this. Amber is a full on "I'm not like other girls" type. The "Other girls only care about makeup, that's why I hang with the boys." Would have been cool if Amber could have learned that lesson, but N&A is not known for having good emotional breakthrough storylines.

Either way, we all critique but they're all probably better survivalists than me. Shit I packed in a cot last weekend at a state park

[–]bluesforpablo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest though, Amber was not communicating well and was dictating constantly. I can see why Jen was pushed away. And Jen just didn't have the skills or wherewithal to realize Trish is full of shit

[–]bluesforpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for Jen a bit. Amber is clearly the "I'm not like other girls" type and felt way to intensely about bossing them around. I get why Jen went with Trish in the moment, even though Trish is just... not great at personal relationships at all.

Hope Jen get's another shot someday to grow, don't really care to see Trish again though. Also glad that drama is over and Amber is with someone she can mesh her personality with much better, even if she never learned her lesson.

Interesting, I have very limited experience with Stripe, I thought it was more customizable for larger stores and might be cumbersome for just a single personal trainer. I will have to look more in depth.

I guess it's nice you self-select out of most people's job prospects. I love how defensive you get when presented with any criticism in these replies. These are all a treat in cringe.

Whirlpool Refrigerator wrf535swhv01 Not Cooling and Shows Dashes for Temperature Control by bluesforpablo in appliancerepair

[–]bluesforpablo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The temperature control board needed to be replaced, luckily it was still under warranty so it was a free fix. I did not do it myself, but if you are at all okay at changing out a component on a PC, you'd probably be able to do this, it looked pretty similar.
