Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hey, now -- I suggested the helper monkey out of pure goodhearted caring for Sean's health. If he stopped breathing for long enough, badness would ensue. The monkey would prevent badness by poking Sean to roll over or wake up if he stopped breathing for too long.

Man. I bet Mother Theresa's suggestions weren't met with derision....

How often did Mother Theresa recommend helper monkeys?

Oh, all the time! Can't do housework because of leprosy-related missing limbs? Helper monkey! Can't remember to take your malaria medication? Helper monkey! Members of higher castes than your own sneer at you? Helper monkey = guaranteed poop-flinger.

Thrive to spite them

Sadly I've never shared a bed with any Buffistas.

I have slept in the same bed as Sean---in Anne W's nerd hole.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

On a serious note, have you looked into having a sleep study done, Sean? A friend had pretty much the same symptoms as you describe. He had a sleep study, and they prescribed a CPAP machine. They said that if he didn't use it, he would die of a heart attack in his forties. I don't know about that, but from what I hear, he's much happier now and nicer to be around. My uncle wasn't quite as bad, although bad enough, but now that he has a CPAP machine, he no longer falls asleep at the dining room table. I know that these studies aren't cheap, but they're mostly covered by insurance if you have it, and perhaps worthwhile even if you don't. I know it's not a helper monkey...

Heh. My dad has a CPAP, which did wonders. He looks like a character out of Pigs in Space when he has it on. Which I am at pains to mention. Frequently. Piiiigs Iiiiinn Spaaaace!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The sleep apnea is worth having checked. Aside from the dangers, it cal also lead to merely unpleasant things. There's a man in my office who was suffering with it - he kept falling asleep. He once fell asleep, at the office, in the middle of a phone call.
