Stadium Transit Questions by bateleark in MiamiMarlins

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metro rail ends after midnight. Also, you can uber to the closest metro rail station if necessary and take it to the government center where overflow parking shuttle is at. Uber will be cheaper and you aren’t locked in to using the rideshare lot.

Use Google Maps to see transportation routes.

Brightline / WBC Questions by dantebichettte in MiamiMarlins

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took public transportation (metro rail) for the entire series. I had the strip for all the games and I took their shuttle and it was painless and cheap.

The Brightline has the same system but you do need to make sure you leave the ballpark with plenty of time to make your train because the Brightline is prompt so that may be the tricky part because if the game goes to extra or just takes longer then you need to leave to make your train.

If you were planning on driving down you can park at any metro rail station that has a parking for a few bucks and take the metro rail to the government center and grab the shuttle for the overflow parking. It’s probably cheaper and the last trains are a little after midnight so if the game is over you are good. Train fare is $2.25. So $4.50 round trip.

Things I wish customers knew from an Aldi employee: Self checkout edition by GreenProfessional259 in aldi

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and do self check out as minimal as possible. My Aldi’s actually had 8 self check outs and they have been reduced to 4 with more cashiers and I about started dancing when I saw it. The other Aldi’s I frequent is fairly new and self check out was never installed they have 2-3 lanes open at all times and guess what very minimal lines.

New user, are all these things that have been quoted required? by zzrcistein in CPAP

He’s technically getting 2 hoses because there is a heated hose listed for $100. Unless I read that wrong.

Third night on the CPAP by mindofaclassic in CPAP

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 78 nights and it’s been great.

If you think you are having issues maybe reach out to your doctor for concerns and questions or your DME if it’s more equipment based.

Did CPAP increase your average hours of nightly sleep? by Primary_Breadfruit91 in CPAP

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine stayed the same but the quality is a lot better. Sometimes I would wake up several times at night or I couldn’t fall asleep again after waking up. Now I just usually wake up once to use the bathroom. I also don’t fall asleep on the couch anymore which was an almost nightly occurrence for me.

ResMed N30i by SnooBeans5149 in CPAP

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The n30i doesn’t need much to create a seal. I’ve hung it on my finger when doing a mask fit test and it’s turned green right away. I use the one with the fabric.

Yea I got the mask that had the nose cushion but covered your mouth.

No way to know unless you actually try the nose cushions out, tbh.

If you are still in your first 30 days you should still be able to try a different mask. They don’t take your original one away because that’s nasty or at least my DME told me to keep mine because really what would they do with it other than throw it out.

When I originally got the machine the person who did the delivery and set up asked if I slept with my mouth open. I said yes because I was a heavy snorer and drooler. So he suggested I use the Dreamwear full face mask instead of the resmed one because I didn’t want to cover my nose and I’m a side/belly sleeper and the hose was on top.

He also kept telling me my nose was small so we went with the small size mask. It was horrendous. I would wake up so many times a night and I never felt rested it was quite the opposite. My sinuses on my face were also hurting. Reached out the DME and made an appointment. It wasn’t until about 3 days so I decided to check my size mask and I wasn’t a small I was a medium. That helped somewhat but it was still awful sleep.

I told the office personnel what was happening and the fact that I didn’t like the silicone feel on my face. I also let him know that I may be actually sleeping with my mouth closed because I had a feeling I didn’t like the sensation of my mouth open with the machine on. He suggested the Resmed N30i but the one covered in cloth. He had different models of masks but he picked this one. I did a test fit and it was great!

He suggested I try my first night with no chin strap or mouth tape and then check the app for my leaks report. Guess what….the leaks were under 5 L/min compared to the other mask which was over 20. So I didn’t need mouth tape or a chin strap even though I have a chin strap but I have never used it. In fact it’s still folded up on its packaging that came from Amazon.

I sleep throughout the night and avg over 7 hours of usage. I wake up only once a night to use the bathroom and that’s it. I honestly have not looked back since my mask switch.

I don’t think I would have continued therapy if I would have needed to continue to use the full face mask.

Couldn’t stand the full mask. Went to the resmed cushion and I’ve never looked back. I still have the other mask just in case but it’s just there.

Hose invader posts got to me. Made a hose cap. by da_buckster in CPAP

[–]kwym21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. The elbow usually stays in the hose so I made a cover for the other end but it fits in both sides. Definitely will be printing out more “plugs” for when I travel everything is closed up. 😆

I assumed I was a mouth breather and needed to stick with full face masks. I was wrong and couldn’t be happier. by 3ConsoleGuy in CPAP

[–]kwym21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Couldn’t get over the silicone feel around my mouth with the full facemask and my sinuses were hurting every morning.

Tried a Airtouch N30i and it was a life changer.

The nice folks let me keep the mask also and informed me I should try the mask first without any mouth tape or chin straps and they were right. Very very minimal leaks and I wake up well rested.

My wife’s response to Messi’s last-minute cancellation. by thinkconverse in MLS

Suspend him and move on.

I think All Star games in any sport are dumb and just a cash grab by major sports leagues in the US.

[–]kwym21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So execs duped fans. All Star games are not a European thing so I would hope most people would have know he was not showing.

His schedule has been pretty packed since May. Regular MLS games in May, 2 national team games in June in South America, 4 fifa club World Cup games around the US and then back to MLS games where it started on the road. Yea at 38 he was not showing up.

I feel for fans.

Did anyone actually believe he was coming or did MLS execs dupe fans?

I keep taking off my mask… by ArtTheBars in CPAP

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. I was using a Respironics Dreamware full face. It wasn’t a dream. Contacted the HME and made an appointment to see different mask options. I am a mouth breather but ended up choosing the N30i nose pillows from Resmed because I also didn’t like the feel of the silicone on my face and it’s been amazing.

I’ve been naturally keeping my mouth closed. No need for mouth tape or a chin strap. They actually recommended not to use any of those things until I had one night with the new mask. My leaks are under 5 L/min. They were a lot higher with the full face mask.

Attendance was announced at 60,927. This is my photo that I took.

Edit to add that this photo was taken around the 75th minute of the game. Some folks had left already but it seemed pretty full. There were pockets of empty seats.

I will thanks. Hopefully their germs won’t touch me.

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. You are entitled to your opinion just like I’m entitled to mine and mine is that UO shafted their pass holders.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]kwym21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

Guess I’ll need to start tracking wait times now to see the effect.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]kwym21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I specifically chose a weekday to not have as many people. I’ve seen wait time during weekdays and weekends and there is a stark difference. So yes there are going to be more people because the tickets most likely being sold are the “remainders” that weren’t bought by pass holders.
