Katie, you have my sympathy. My boyfriend got the "stage four" diagnosis for
his cancer in mid-february. Its a tough time all around, for both the person
and their family.

It's time to see the doctor(s) about sleep apnea. It started when I
had a case of the sleepies late yesterday afternoon but couldn't fall
completely asleep. Julie was napping with me and woke me up a little
because I was breathing shallow. Then I kept waking up repeatedly all
night.
My psychiatrist and med nurse have suggested for a while that I check
in to a sleep clinic. But I won't be able to get a hold of my
psychiatrist for a referral (medical coupons, see) until Thursday. So
I called my physician's office. Same story-- I can't see him until
Thursday at 2:15 p.m. PDT. So I suppose I'll be going to the
emergency room tonight. I really hate missing work, as I had to do so
today, but I called my site supervisor and she won't be expecting me
for a few days. I promised to keep her posted.

(No, I'm not estranged from my dad. But he has been uninterested in
maintaining relationships with his first set of children.)

I'm receiving a mailflood at my domain because someone's Windoze box sent
out a virus to large numbers of people with a forged header indicating it
came from a nonexistent address at my domain.

Katie, I'm very sorry. That is nasty news indeed and a horrible way
to receive it. I agree you should have been told sooner, much sooner.

any software without it, and no other CD drives lying around.

Regarding sleep apnea - I have read that it is most common in overweight men
and if you raise the head of your bed (or sleep on a lot of pillows) or don't
sleep on your back that should help. So should losing weight.

I don't think Mormons use alcohol or tobacco. The same things are bad for
lots of other diseases including acid indigestion.

IVVBB the people who access Grex by modem are apparently not
important enough to rate a check to see that the modems are
working before someone leaves the Pumpkin. (Obviously nobody
checked, otherwise we would have seen some kind of notice as
to what's wrong and when it might be fixed... right? Right?)

maybe grex should get rid of the dial-in modems altogether. I mean are
they really necessary anymore? I suspect that most anyone who dials in
now has other internet access and is doing it purely as a matter of
convenience or old habit. they could either be eliminated altogether
to save money or reduced to one or two, and priviledge to dial in to
grex could become a member only perk. it is a reasonable thing to
consider if there isn't a whole lot of staff presence and the modems
are falling into disrepair as claimed in previous response by russ

re 247 + 248: Or, how about a CPAP? Or is it not the type of sleep apnea
that that helps?
My dad was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was 10. If you're in need of
jokes about it, we've got a few. ;)

IVBB it seems that some people don't seem to understand that Grex staff are
volunteers, and do this in their loving spare time... which for some is not
much. For shame on you unappreciating people.

And a corollary to that, which I'm sure would be argued if not mentioned,
is that Grex cannot guarantee the quality or consistency of the services
it provides, which is why we do not sell our services per se.
