6591 doodles, etc

[scottobear]

Going out to look at more condos this afternoon. There are one or two that look very promising. I only hope nobody else swoops in on them, if I dig 'em! In Hollywood, West of '95.

I see City of Heroes has 3 servers now.

Prime (Where All of my guys currently are)
Justice (Appeared Last night)
Pinnacle (New Today)

Also, they've bound to the arrow keys! no more wad if I don't want to!

I'm thinking about adding a new super... some big tanker named "The Friendly Manatee"

Doodling on the palm yesterday at lunch... thinking idly about creatures nearby. Played in monochrome, and kept it "screen color" rather than black and white.

Catch you later, dear journal! Have a lovely Friday!

It would be interesting to see the condos you're viewing. Have you thought about posting the real estate listings?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've thought about it, but I figure I'll post the listings only once I get the condo I want under contract, just in case.

i love the manatee one!
i may use it as an icon one of these days :)


eep!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

feel free! I'm flattered!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Aww... I love these doodles. The big critters are cool, but that teeny seahorse is nifty :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

It's a good way to while the time. :) I love to scribble.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

You scribble better than me!

What did you have one of those sleep study tests for? :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Sleep Apnea! I was sleeping on my back, and the person I was with at the time noticed that I would stop breathing (as well as snore). I used a CPAP for a while and after losing some weight, I'm cool.

I want to see your scribs!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Just reread that & should've explained - the allergic reactions could be causing me to have the breathing problems at night - and the meds may fix it - and then apnea!

I usually don't reply in all that many journals, or all over the place because it takes so many words for me to get a simple point across. ;)

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

deleted the first comment, so my info is not so obviously out there on the net later. ;)

my cpaps (I've had two, because I changed insurance) have been very easy to use, and are really no effort for me. The hardest thing was teaching myself another thing to do before going to bed.

I've found that I wake up refreshed rather than groggy, and have better sleep during the course of the night.

It was a little disorienting the first two nights, and then it was easy-peasy.

My only dilemma was when I had a cold... a runny or stuffed nose don't go well with it.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Interesting..you're the only person who's said it was easy. Maybe that has something to do with being a positive kinda guy. :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I suspect mindset could have something to do with it... but I really think it' sno different than adjust ing to a new sleep item.. like a new mattress or the like.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

The guy with a cpap diary here on LJ mentioned not using it while having a cold. Not using in then, or his not being able to use it then, was a bit unnerving to read.

Reading about all this apnea stuff is like a wakeup call, in regards to age and more...

I'm glad you don't have it anymore. :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm glad too... I still have the CPAP... So I'm ready if it decides to rear back up again.

Where is the apnea diary?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Every photo of one of those things gives me the heebies. They could make a cute cpap for cryin' out loud. ;) Surprised I haven't seen a cute one for children yet, at the very least.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hee.. tha't sa kind of cute idea... "billy's first CPAP!"

Hmm.. I wonder if most people have discomfort because it's too tight, or not adjusted properly?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Baha :)

I've read in several spots people think they should be loose, or get a mask that's too big and that causes sores and the like from too much movement.

My first day with it.

two days later, I'm used to it. :)

http://www.livejournal.com/users/scottobear/2000/10/02/

A piccies you were mentioning?

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

..but..how will you know? I read mentions all over the place that some people don't know they're waking up, that someone else noticed it.

Train newt! :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I figure I'll regognise my warning signs... the swollen uvula for one, and other snore side-effect that I was having. Also, just waking up extra groggy!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Duh...I just rmembered something. A cam photo of yours from long ago - I had no idea what I was seeing at the time, not knowing what one was, but I just got a sudden pic of it in my mind, and realized it was a cpap.

so, i'm very slow. ;) It was at your old place, with newtie in the photo too, I think.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

oh yeah.. ooold ooold.. Like in 2000, probably.

I'll look later and see if I can dig it put. :)
