Icecream: espresso chocolate chip, sprinkled with salted cashews!

Had the first salad of the season with lunch today!!!

Had to clip a fly ribbon out of the feathers of one of my Buck Eye hens today. Then used cooking oil to try to soak the rest of the sticky off her feathers. Hubby says she's ready for the grill! I can't wait to see what she looks like after she's had a dust bath. @bruceha2000 , at least she was not a white bird!!!

Good afternoon Team Rachel. Internet has been down over a good sized portion of the state. Not sure what happened, but it was major. It affected TV too. TV not as much, but every so often the box would reboot itself, then TV would come back on. I did have my tablet from my cell phone provider, with plenty of data on our plan, so I wasn't completely shut off from the rest of the world. It's just that I hate resetting all the settings. I have it set up so the kids can play their games on it, and it's all disconnected from the outside world for their safety. Because of the app stores, they don't make it easy anymore to shut off all the connections.

We just got over some thunder storms here. I was thinking I wouldn't be surprised if ours went out, but, it didn't. Yaay..

OK got my machine.... way cool came with a humidifier tried it on in the office and almost went to sleep right there...

@Cynthia12 One of the things the Tech said was he stopped using facemasks designed specifically for women... They are too tight and dont seal right... so he gave me a mans mask....

LOVE IT.

The settings were preset by him according to my doctors prescription. he said the only one I can change is the humidity. Starting at a four for now... 1 through 10 is the range

The Bipap has constant pressure very low when you take a breath it pumps up to assist.

Keep working on the fit of the masks... you wont regret it. I expect that as I loose weight my fit will change....

Stay strong dont give up because both of us need it for our hearts....

Yours sounds like it does the same as mine. Also going by dr. Prescription. When I breath in, it assists..goes up more when I am getting too slow, I have been stopping my breathing. well, now, when I am getting to that point, it rises accordingly. I woke up with it pumping pretty hard this morning. I have my humidity set at 2. Tried 3, don't like the warm feeling.

My step dad has a bipap. He has silicosis in his lungs and has made a HUGE difference.
