    BBQ advice needed

    Thread Starter: Rick Potter

    I just finished looking at old threads about BBQ's. The weber seemed to be the choice in '05/'06. Is this still the case, or is there a new best choice? I just need a basic, medium size gas BBQ that runs on natural gas. I think I want stainless burners and grates, since I have had problems...

I thought I...

    Anyone here use a CPAP?

    Thread Starter: Brian Elfert

    I have had trouble sleeping for several years. It got even worse this winter so my doctor sent me to a sleep center for a sleep test. It turns out I have moderate sleep apnea so they gave me a CPAP on Friday. I used it for the first time last night and I couldn't get to sleep at all. After...
