It took me weeks to get used to mine, but I find I do sleep better with it than without my CPAP machine. With respect to insurance, I replaced my original machine without going through insurance. It would have cost me more out of pocket for

There is no “her” money. My wife has been home for 15 years raising our kids. I make the money but it’s not my money. She’s gone back to school now that the kids are mostly self sufficient. When she starts working it’ll go into the bank acc

By the standard that we're systematically mismanaging the funds we are spending. The bussing system is absurdly inefficient and wholly unnecessary. Neighborhood schools used to be a thing. Some school systems offer 'gold plated&#

Great, let's move forward with some real online learning initiatives. The current system is antiquated and no longer makes sense from a purely educational perspective. For too long the US has used the school system as a baby-sitting s
