A CPAP machine for sleep apnea. If you snore and your spouse says that you stop and hold your breath you may have sleep apnea. I was waking up several times a night to go to the bathroom. I went to the Kaiser Permanente sleep center. They put me in a bed in a room. I was hooked up to a bunch of sensors. The let me sleep for a n hour or so, woke me up, fitted me with a CPAP machine and let me sleep until 5 AM or so. They said I had "moderate" sleep apnea. I had 66 times of stopping breathing in an hour. Each time I stopped breathing, my heart also stopped beating. After getting my CPAP sleep machine, I get a restful sleep every night. If you have any doubts about whether or not you have sleep apnea, Google it and ask our doctor. Sleepy?

I get sleepy after 20 minutes... Drive safe, and thanks for the prayers. The grandson is still staying with the grandparents. Don't know what is to become of him. Bob,

I've only been able to fake out a cat rarely. My current cat usually leaves me alone when I'm asleep. He'll give me a chance to wake up slowly except when he is really hungry. He'll assist the waking up process by running over me. Nothing wakes a person up faster than to have a cat spring off one's stomach. That's the worst he does, however. He's really a very good boy.

Falling exam passes blamed on Wikipedia ‘littered with inaccuracies’

Published Date: 21 June 2008

WIKIPEDIA and other online research sources were yesterday blamed for Scotland’s falling exam pass rates.
The Scottish Parent Teacher Council (SPTC) said pupils are turning to websites and internet resources that contain inaccurate or deliberately misleading information before passing it off as their own work.

The group singled out online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which allows entries to be logged or updated by anyone and is not verified by researchers, as the main source of information.
