Re #243: Sometimes I think our mail server at work spends more time
sending bounce messages than actual mail.
Re #251: <sarcasm>IVBB the half-dozen people who refuse to use Internet
connections they apparently have anyway to reach Grex expect Grex to
spend lots of money supporting dial-in lines for their use.</sarcasm>

It takes three paid members to support a phone line. This frees up the
internet connection for use by people who prefer to use that.

IABB the song-parody items are proliferating. I'd prefer one item I don't
have time to read to a half-dozen (and growing). :(

Regarding sleep apnea: good luck. It took me over a year from the time I
determined to my own satisfaction that I had sleep apnea needing treatment
to the point where I got the medical community to actually give me the
treatment in question (BiPAP machine). Granted, some of that time was
because I needed surgery to correct a deviated septum before the machine
could be expected to work. Frustrating, but worth it: I sleep much
better now and have more energy.

BiPAP = Bilevel positive airway pressure. Basically, there's a computer in
it that blows harder when it detects that I'm breathing in, and not so hard
when I'm breathign out. A normal CPAP (C = continuous) just blows the same
all the time.
I may yet end up doing something like a tonsil and uvula reduction, just to
lower my pressure, which is pretty high.

A co-worker went on vacation for two weeks, leaving me in charge of her
two tropical fish. They died today, after 3 days.
I gave them the spiral funeral and sent her an e-mail.

I'm extremely bummed because my opera workshop is over, and now I'm all
alone in Bulgaria. I think I've forgotten how to be a solo tourist.
I'm also bummed because this stupid internet cafe doesn't have telnet
available on its computers, so I can't use party. Crapola. This sucks
beyond belief.
Also, I'm experiencing severe cyrillic fatigue. I can hardly wait to
get to a country that uses an alphabet I can read quickly.

I have a neat time picturing tampons up one's nose.
IBB the traffic situation is still bad. Burglaries are up 500% in the
areas where power hasn't been restored. People are being told to treat
the intersections like 4-way stops, but many people are dumbasses and
drive straight through them. I cannot drive without getting hella cranky.

Alarm systems are disabled, making it easier, for one thing.
IBB the State's Saturday-midnight showing of Monty Python & the Holy Grail
isn't until after I leave town (it's the night of the 30th, i think).

You can toggle back and forth between cyrillic and roman alphabets on
computers in Bulgaria...or at least you could when I was there a ridiculously
long time ago. <wanders off in search of the past 4-5 years>

IBB there was a huge mix-up between the university health center and the
pharmacy. It was the health center's fault, and the pharmacist was really
sweet when she tried to make it easier on all of us, but I still had to take
two hours out of work to get my prescription. Hmmph.
On top of that, Planned Parenthood now requires that I have an exam through
them before getting birth control pills. They used to just allow me to fax
my exam results and prescription over. So, instead of paying $5 for pills,
I had to pay $36.
Not. A. Good. Day.

Better than paying $450 at the ER for the morning after pill...
