I thought that thread was very interesting. I disagreed with it but it was interesting. In our shul there is a youth minyan. So, all the youths are in that separate minyan and in the regular one gelila is not relegated to any one particular group. Well, thats not entirely accurate. Bereishis time we tend toward righties. devarim time we tend toward lefties. And thats just because no one wants to fast. Oh, theres also a few body builder types. We can rely on them all year round!!

By far the best, and most well made nasal pillows are the mirage swift line. Now, nasal pillows are not for everyone. The headgear has a tendency to slip off during the night. I personally think the swift FX is the most comfortable.

Now, If the pillows are too big (even the small size) ask for the Swift LT for Her. It comes with XSmall size pillows. And those pillows will fit the male swift LT headgear.

Ron, the Quattro is a great full face mask. Among the full faces, its by far the easiest to deal with.You may have been perscribed a F/F mask because the sleep techs noticed that you are a mouth breather. Now, most mouth breathing in the presence of sleep apnea is due to the gasping reflex. It can resolve over time with the correction of the sleep apnea. Sometimes it does not self correct, then a F/F mask is in order.

Here are some tips to get used to your F/F mask.

1)Wear your cpap during the day for 20 min at a time, gradually increasing the time you wear it each day. Yes, simple desensitization techniques!!

2) If you wake during the night, and find it off of you, force yourself to put it back on.

3) If you cannot force yourself to put it back on, get out of bed and do something else. You will soon be tired enough that after donning the mask, you will fall asleep quickly.

4)Clean your mask every morning with mild soap and water and let air dry. nothing is a gross as a dirty facial oiled mask.

5) Use adequate humidification. If your machine has the option, let it warm up the water first. Recent studies of machines show that it can take up to an hour for it to reach your desired humidity level.

I hope this was helpful. PS, just so the public is aware, Resmed and respironics have a deal with DME companies that will allow you to return a mask within a month or so if its not working out. But its important to remember that you must must must! give your body a chance to acclimate to the mask.

Maybe their parents didn’t know about it, ctrl alt del.

Are you serious?

And amazingly enough, a few days ago as I drove through Boro Park I saw what must have been a 7/8 year old leading (I guess) a 4/5 year old up 18th ave BY THEMSELVES!!! meshugah!!

Technically, semi-automatic. Someone still has to press the shock button.

Its interesting that though the WHO in the 2009 INN stem book states that b-blockers should end in “olol” carvedilol and labetalol seem to have bucked the rules, I wonder why. In any case I used Goodman and Gilman’s. Very wordy, but a fierce pharm book. Mine is a bit old now. I should get a new one soon.

I don’t know why any Jew still stays in Europe. I certainly don’t understand those that stay in Eastern Europe. Its a cemetery. A graveyard. The ashes of our people fill the earth there. I just cant understand it. It the equivalent of living in your burned out house that was set on fire by your own neighbors. Not only that, the house is still burning!!

I have heard that the LBD only certifies those bottles produced in Ireland. Bottles sold in the US however do not come from Ireland.

Finally an interesting topic!!! I heard a great dvar torah from a rebbi of mine who has since passed away. Its a well known DT. I had asked him about stuff like this and fossil records and the like. And he said the following: The Torahs first letter is a Bet. It is a letter that is blocked off from all side save for the next letter and word and paragraph and so on. It need not concern us what hashem did, or might have done without us or before us. We need to follow the open direction of the letter Bet. Even if there are non humans in the world or there were dinosaurs before us. It doesn’t change the fact that we now, are charged with upholding the Torah and its commandments. As a side note for all you sci-fi fanatics, years ago I read some sci fi book where the aliens that were met, were Jewish. The pic on the cover had a green (of course) alien wearing a talit. And it was written by a serious sci-fi author.

Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. And year after year we have this debate. its been going on for decades. Sorry to say Charles you are once again coming down on the wrong side of history. As most liberals do. I am always amazed at the persistence of liberals. Despite being proven wrong through the scope of history someone always comes along and thinks that THEY have found the right way to do it. Its always a sham. Its always bunk. Socialized anything has never and will never work. Somewhere in the loop will be a failure. It tends to be a catastrophic failure. Whether finance, medicine, or lawn mowing, its always a failure. Just look around the world and analyze with a true critical eye and you will see the failure of socialism (hello?? Greece anyone??). And in the places that it seems to work? Death , destruction, and despotism reign (Hello?? Venezuela anyone??). The US is the pinnacle of medical r&d. The brightest minds come here. Lets not kill it with this foolishness. We have a choice, Greece or us. EU? Or USA? Charlie? Or Poppa? Obama? or Reagan? I know what I am choosing.

You are all hilarious. Actually im not sure if its you or if I am just super tired. LOL

Ok, so its late and I’m on break at work and I see this thread titled (or so I thought) French Toast recipe. So I click on it thinking I like a good french toast too. And I glaze over the first post saying that they will be making french toast for shavuous. Awsome!! I think. French toast for shavuous. What a great Idea, you could make whole milchig meal out of “breakfast foods”. Then I scroll down and there is ketchup and onions and all that and I think haha what a smart aleck, let me post a real recipe for addict. But as I scroll to the bottom I suddenly realize that the topic is french ROAST!!! Phooey!! I would much rather have french toast. I must be really tired. Good thing the CR keeps me up during the night. Gotta make it till the AM.

H-shem? Do we really need to hyphenate an english transliteration of a word that we use to refer to God? I mean the word hashem means ” the name” so we don’t abuse or take in vain the actuall names. Whats next? Ginger Kale?

I think Revival based in brooklyn has Shomer Shabbat attendants if you ask.

I don’t know how people have sunk so far. Dont people realize that until the formation of the US, the history of the the world was terror, violence, and despotism? That people would govern themselves was a crazy novel idea!! We were looked upon (as Kilo says) an experiment. Backwater? Look at what has become of Europe and then tell us that we are backwater. It is only recently that our dear leader (for those who even remember the reference) has led us to the poorhouse and has us emulating Europe. Before that we were the captains of the world. A powerhouse of justice. A force to be called upon when the downtrodden raised their voices. Imperfect yes, but far superior to any alternative. We have lost even the memory of american exceptionalism. How sad.

As usual charlie likes to gemara-kup our countrys floundering situation into some sort of positive. Charlie, a little de Tocqueville would set you straight. And its a free download on Amazon. And no, the 1974 exchange rate had something very wrong. Do you remember 1974? Here in the US?

Now, while you may find single instances where government intervention may work in a limited fashion, the overwhelming evidence is that government social/economic engineering has always led to disaster. Why should we repeat the mistakes of our forebearers? Years ago the was an enormously detailed experiment done regarding this issue, it was decades long. I cant seem to remember the name of the study…. oh yes it was the USSR. The study had to be stopped due to catastrophic failure, death, and destruction. You can nit pick and choose all you like from history. The overall results wil be the same. And every few years some clown comes along and says no!! I know how to do it!! THEY didnt know how, but I do. And its always a failure. A whole line of failures in fact. Castro, Che, Chavez (why do they always have “C” names?)

As for unions, post 1950’s (possibly even earlier)they became useless bloated quasi criminal organizations, that much like our government, sucks its members dry little by little and produces no results. The protections we now enjoy regarding employment all the overtime stuff and holidays are all built into labor law. Some federal and some state. Yes, originally instigated by union activity but what have they done in the past 60 years other than wax politic and donate money to the Democratic party? Nothing, zip, nada. Your on the wrong side of history Charlie. Alexis de Tocqueville. Read him.

“Rav Fuerst in Far Rockaway forbid BBQ’s on 4th of July because it was dereach ha-goyim”

Pants are derech hagoyim too. Our forefathers wore nomadic arab garb. I will now dispense with all my pants and start wearing Jalabiya and turbans.

Streimels and bekesha are derech hagoyim too. Albeit derech hagoyim of a thousand years ago.

I will be flying the flag.

“i heard it’s because it’s copying from the Goyim but it doesn’t make sense to me, everything we wear is sort of “copying from the Goyim” no?”

A great assessment. In the 10whatevers gentile royalty wore streimels and bekeshes and somehow that became chassidisheh malbush for all time. Yes, the homberg hats too. Standard yeshivish dress reflects 30’s through 60’s business dress. What makes all this “jewish” or tzniut? I have no idea. The point of this is that the definition of “respectable dress” will change over time. It runs the gamut of Kilts in Ireland to Jalabiya in the middle east. Haberdashery runs from the knit kippah to the Fez from….can anyone guess where? As long as dress is respectable and within the confines of halachah, it should be left alone.

Ms, the issue with the water is that aside from most major metropolitan areas, public water is not fluoridated. that is, it has no fluoride ion added. My kids use a fluoride rinse every night. If this is the case for you, you will prob see a great improvement once you switch to a fluoride water/rinse.

Its not about the meat, its about doing something for yourself that you would not normally do. Ok, so I don’t know what girls would do to celebrate exactly, but anything that you wouldn’t normally do for yourself is a present to yourself. Me I would do guy thing like rent an awesome car for a day, or have that steak dinner, or maybe even a pedicure. NOT!! Point is I treat a celebration of myself the same way I treat giving a gift to someone else. I give them something that I know they would really enjoy but would never ever spend the time and/or money on.

Dinner. Definitely a great dinner of something you normally wouldn’t buy for yourself. Like a venison steak!! Or stuffed quail!!! Well, thats what I would do.

You could stack a yated or two or maybe a binah bunch on top.

Binah wins!! It was said about Lady Macbeth who of course participated in a murder and then vexed on and on about the tragedy. All while being guilty. The lesson being that only someone with something to hide would protest (or post) so much about it. Like a person going on and on how its so hard to be physician and that they have gone through soooo much schooling and that they know all about medicine and the rest of us don’t all the while, the only medical shool they have gone too is the internet university , doctor W. W. Web campus. Anyhoo…congrats on getting the reference.

As long as you didn’t fill it with “articles” that are really ads for people/services, I would read it. I HATE when the jewish mags do that. Ads have their place, but there are so many start up mag with that format its just stupid. Every time I see a new mag come out I open it with trepidation, and sure enough…..all ads and come-ons. Bleachhhhhh!!! Of, and all ads by quack “healers” must never be in there. irridology, orthotics, homeopathy, chi, and all that bunk. Feh, it makes me want to puke.
