Is that because you need it or just in case? Does the licensing require you to do a sleep study/test?

The company required a sleep study and it found sleep apnea. I’m sure it’s all insurance-related for the company.

Considering my kids probably don't even know what MTV is, this shouldn't be all that shocking. Yet it is.

That reminds me of one of biggest pet peeves… when you’re coughing and someone offers you water. Water goes down the esophagus while coughing comes up the trachea. They’re different tubes!
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Used the CPAP for the first time last night and it wasn’t as bad as I feared. I’m sure as soon as I get the mask fit dialed in and get used to it (it’s a little unsettling to have a machine essentially breathing for you at first) it might really be a big help. At worst if I can at least find a comfort level with it, won’t be any worse than my sleeping now and since I have to upload proof of use it’s non-negotiable anyway.

That happened to me a few months ago. It was really annoying for a day or two, but it naturally smoothed itself out.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I need to relay this exchange from last weekend at my son's Boy Scouts camp. The dads and sons were all sitting around the campfire talking about music. At one point the following occurs:
Me: Well, if you guys want to feel old, there's a Dad Hip Hop playlist I found on Spotify.
Dad #1: Dad Hip Hop? What's that? Like De La Soul?
Me: No, a little bit closer to now. It's primarily late 80s early 90s. It's pretty jarring, though, when NWA comes up on a playlist entitled "Dad" anything.
Dad #2: The last "A" now stands for "Arthritis".

My freshman dorm floor always hung out together. 20 of us would go down to the common room in the basement of our tower and play ping pong or watch something on TV. We must have watched the Dana Carvey stand up on Comedy Central 50 times. Anyone remember his bit about his little kid's action figures? Dex Carvey just died of a drug overdose.

Too much Beasties you can't listen to in front of kids. I'd add Pharcyde to the list, Digable Planets if you count them as rap, some Tribe but with the same Beasties caveat.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but my GF grew up in Columbia, MO down the street from a kid who is now a writer/exec producer for the Simpsons.
He has a pretty funny article in the WSJ about how not be boring when you turn 60: How to Avoid Being Boring at 60:
What to do when your life is so routine that you’ve run out of stories? Embark on a series of tame, achievable, eye-opening challenges

He leaves his email at the end of the story for suggestions, and my GF emailed him to say he should come to Seattle and be a busker (he played violin when they were kids) down at the Pike Place Market.When I recently turned 60, I realized with alarm that I was starting to see unmistakable signs from friends and colleagues that I was becoming—there’s no easy way to put this—boring. It was almost as if the same stories I had told a hundred times were no longer interesting to them. But what else was I supposed to talk about? It wasn’t like I had anything new and exciting to tell them.
That’s when it hit me: I didn’t have anything new and exciting to tell them. My life had gotten entrenched in routine. Calcified, if you will. I had stopped evolving, and I think we all know what happens then—like the dodo, you stop flying, get fat and Dutch sailors eat you on their voyage home.

Anyone have a rec for a good back pillow for sitting on the couch? I usually just put one across the bottom and then one straight up (forming an upside-down T) but figure I should upgrade to something more comfortable.
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
As a result of my eye surgery, I am supposed to sleep on my side, not on my back. And, awhile back I buggered up my left shoulder so I don’t like to sleep on my left side. Normally, I would move around a lot as I sleep, so this limitation to only sleeping on my right side is a pain in the arse.

Not necessarily.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
yeah and related (and i feel like i may have brought this up before, apologies) is i can't have anyone call me "mister webster" - first of all, it's not my name, and second .... no. please please call me max ffs.
idk i know even with my relatively-young parents in the 80s it was considered a sign of respect and I do get that but I just cringe when i'm called mister and immediately insist on the first name with my kids' friends and have for years - i can't go for that. no can do.
