Aw shucks you guys. My edification from South Oak Cliff hi skool allowing me to understood evry wurd Dale said.

After viewing the photos Jack sent me of Shortcakes new digs -on-wheels . . . we could have a wild & crazy party in that SOW!!  

Well I'm an Oak Cliffian, trying to make ends meet, but I smell good, Mr. McGee.

Ms. McM, Prof. Smiley is a man of letters, highly educated, polished, and probably smells good. I'm just a guy diggin' holes, makin' purdy backyards, tryin' to make the Eagle fly......

What the heck are you guys trying to say 

Prof. Smiley, that's why I left the teaching business. Think was dropped....to much election results. This has been a crazy night. We have 4 more months of this.

Prof. Smiley, I don't you picked up those fancy words in Abilene Texas. Your pretty wife must have left them on the grocery list taped to the refrigerator.

Dang, not only do I have to be more careful with my spelling ... now I gotta get a dictionary to figure out what Smiley just said!!

Memo back to 'Guru' - Yes, I'd say so - call 'em 'stretchers', 'fish stories', or whatever - you've got a 'BS' degree in it! 

Ronney, Jack, BLB & Sam - Count me in with the BiPAP gang, for about 5 yrs now. 

During my 1st sleep study, the tech woke me around 1 a.m. & asked me to put the CPAP mask on.  It was earlier than expected, but my oxygen saturation level was down around 61% & he was afraid to continue otherwise. 

I managed to resume sleeping, but felt like I was wearing a catcher's mask.  The oxygen level improved, but I was being awakened by the constant rush of air, which caused some choking.  So, I changed to a BiPAP, which lowers the air pressure when exhaling & increases when inhaling - sorta breathes with you.

A case of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can cause you to not wake up.  So, if you know someone who snores - especially, if their breathing stops, & then starts a few seconds later by gasping for air, they should go see the doc, get it ck'd & take care of it.

Here's a link for info & now I'll get off this dreary subject:  http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-apnea/sleep-apnea

Memo To Don L.: I don't quite recall the specific fishing event you outlined but were you implying that some on this guestbook might accuse me of stretching the fabric of credibility?
