I literally just edited a letter about used CPAP devices being sold on Craigslist. I am not making that shit up. And apparently the American Sleep Apnea Association has a program where they accept donations of used CPAP machines and (assuming they are in good condition) cleans them thoroughly and reprograms them and sells them for $100. That's super cool.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Technically, they're only available by prescription, and the settings are only supposed to be adjusted by a trained medical professional. I got mine from a yard sale and found the setting instructions online. My doctor, who advised me to get it, suggested eBay.
Did the letter say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing or just a thing?

The letter said it could be a good thing for people without insurance, as long as the person got a hygienic one that was in good shape, and they could set it to the correct pressure. But immediately after that it mentioned the CPAP assistance program that resells them for $100.
The letter also notes that CPAP devices have to be prescribed, and only 2% of the Craigslist ads mentioned that fact.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Strix, so much love to you... wishing peace for your family. It's so hard.
sj, it amazes me that people think they have the right to judge parents for so much of the stuff they do. It takes some nerve.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Ugh, I just privately called a restaurant (part of a larger restaurant group here) out on something blatantly racist in an email and now I have post-confrontation stomach twisting.
I know what I'm doing is right but my fear of making someone mad at me is making me feel like it was wrong.

I know that feeling, Nora, but if ignorant assholes are mad at you, you've done something right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You know a person by their enemies, Nora!

Nora, what Lisa and Zen said.
Headed to Mom's for a few days. My goals are to sleep, take lots of long baths, and catch up on my magazine reading. If I get really ambitious, I brought a book too.

Our wings are not tired.
What they said, Nora. I share the discomfort, but some things you just can't let go.
Ah sj, that sounds wonderful. Enjoy the rest and renewal.
