Losing my Dad

My deepest condolences. I was raised by my grandparents, had to be "the adult in the room" handling things when both my grandfather died (97) and Grandmother (2010). Now my mother is in decline and I'm the only relative left in town to assist for things. It sucks man... Only lesson I have picked up is to get power of attorney early if you can, and pre-do a will and paperwork.

Thanks, I lost him last September and think about him every day. Was really rough earlier on. My Dad was quite savvy financially and he had the forethought to identify beneficiaries on investments, TFSA (Canada), and RRSP's. This is also an important inclusion in prep of your estate as well.
I was POA and now Estate Trustee, and only now in a position to start distributing assets as probate took about 8 months.

I snore, and I got a watch which measures SPO2. It was saying I was dipping into the 80's at night. I thought I was on a sure fire path to a CPAP. Then I used a wedge pillow so I started sleeping with my body leaning upwards at an incline. According to
Mrs. Haus
it's apparently suppressed a lot of my snoring and I'm consistently not dropping out of the 90's anymore. I might still give a CPAP a try though...

I'm a chunky lunchbox. (over 220) It's my stout mountain dwarf genetics
That and a combination of my grandmother's cooking while growing up, and wife's propensity for learning everything my grandmother made and mastering the making of it. (Which was how I knew she was wifey material). So yeah... chunkier than I'd like. But even when I was in shape and playing hockey I still weighed a solid 190.- 1

I sentence you to only salads and exercise for 6 months. May Ronald McDonald have mercy on your soul.

yup. Mine was brought about by chronic tonsilitis and sinusitus. Once the tonsils were out I had a sleep study and had a score of 100. I think that means 100 arousals per hour. I was like "Is that good?" She said she had never seen anyone over 50 and that she almost woke me up 3x because she thought I was going to die in there. Anyway, yeah, I was able to sleep with it the first night and never looked back. For years I wouldn't bother to pack it when I traveled, but these days I do. Too many people (including my wife) complaining about the snoring. I even bought a philips travel cpap which was kicking ass until it was recalled.

i need alcohol to sleep on a flight, but yeah it's a nice add. Most planes have a plug you can use. I wanted something with a battery backup because it's pretty common to lose power where I work.

I sleep like a baby on airplanes. Probably because when I was a baby my grandparents would put me in the car and drive around the block when I wouldn't go to sleep and POOF I'd be out like a light.

supposed to drink 8+oz of fluid per hour of flight. at high altitude you breath more often in a very low humidity and dehydrate.

in a pressurized cabin?
Allright whatever. I certainly never noticed and was pissing like a racehorse on the international flights.
But I drink a lot of water anyway.
