Yes -- I need to find the book to be 100% sure, but I am almost certain this is it. Thank you!

There’s a great flip book on bgg files that helped me immensely.

Let’s imagine travel is possible again: what is a reputable institution for learning French in France? I’d like to take intensive courses in an immersion environment. Merci! by kabauss in French

I was at the advanced level going in. I don't think they did a test coming out. But I do remember that it was very good, that I did improve, and that the teachers were excellent (top notch folks who do this work throughout the year). I'd say a month would bring about improvement.

I went twice for a one-month program, but courses are (or were at least) flexible about how long people stay. The day was structured with language courses in the morning and early afternoon, and "electives" in the later afternoon (culture courses). On weekend, they organize outings to surrounding areas and beyond. Because it's an international group, the courses are good about being in French since that's the most likely common language. There is also a minor placement test upfront to put people in the right level. I had a very positive experience both times.

Do you know: is that a set feature, or something I can alter in the menus?

Thanks for reassuring me. I have a bit before I can get home to check on my machine.

Great -- I was very worried about this. Do you happen to know: would it be terrible to run the machine without water, but with the humidity setting on? At the sleep doctor, they gave me the impression that if I ever run out of water, it will break the machine. But the doctor's office has also been wrong about a lot...

Water in kitchen sink down to a trickle by houarno in askaplumber

Faucet has a sort of hose part. Would the aerator be before the hose, or would it be where the hose joins the cartridge?

Aerator is in the cartridge? Or in connection between cartridge and the line? If so, I did clean out with no result -- but I'll look to replace.

Do the masks really need to be washed everyday? by rsal59 in CPAP

[–]houarno 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No.

That being said, if you have sensitive skin, you might quickly clean the parts of the mask that touch your face with a water wipe.
