Glad to hear the ONS is doing well for you Christine!! Thanks for keeping us posted and continued Good Luck!!! Dallas Denny

Hey Tim, From my understanding the difference is that a med O2 tank has to be purged prior to filling......the only problem you can have with a welding O2 tank is it could have been part of an Oxy Acet rig with faulty reg and Acetelyn bled into the O2 tank......this will be more than obvious with a sniff test (which is what they do when they fill a welding O2 tank).......believe me, if it has ANY Aceyelyn in it you WILL smell it!! DD

This has got to have something to do with being in the NYC area Tim......I called a welding supply house here in Dallas and told them I needed an M tank......no questions asked, just $150 deposit, $8/mo lease, and $18.75 for a refill..... And Leslie is right, I went to a fire station several years ago and they were more than willing to help me out......didn't really work that well but I'm sure it was a very low flow they were giving me. DD

Happy, Happy Birthday Ron!!! Hope you have a great day!! Whew, I feel better now that you're older than me again!!! LOL!!!! Dallas Denny

Hey Eric!! Hope you're havin a great day bud!! In case you missed the post....there's another Dallas Meet n Greet in the works!! DD

Hey Ya'll!! It's lookin more and more like I'll be able to attend!!! I know Shaggy, 1961mom, Napa1026, and Lee Ann and her hubby Dan are goin......who else are we gonna get to meet besides BobW and Doug? DD

OK ya'll.....we're gonna try it again....without the damned SNOW this time!!!! Looks like the soonest Cindy and I can be up for it is mid july....just got too freakin much goin on to try it in June!! So as a "target" date, how would the weekend of July 16th, 17th, and 18th be for everyone? If it SNOW's, Barb and I have agreed to have Phil kidnapped and sent back to Michigan...lmfao!!! Anyway, ya'll check in....lets figure out a date that's good for the mostest and I'll drop by Best Western and get a group code set up again!! I am expecting a much larger turn out this time as I've been sending PM's to all the Texas newbies on all the boards since the last meet n greet telling them to be watching for a new thread about another get together....the majority of them have responded and are interested in coming. Hmmm....ya know, I might be able to put that new roof off til that weekend....how many of ya'll know how to shingle??? DD

Hope you had a Happy Birthday MattyAA!! Dallas Denny

I can't find the words so I'll just add my tears......my thoughts and prayers go out to Will's family. DD

Hey Darrin! I'm thinkin if yer doc gave you a script for 10lpm then the supply house is gonna have to give you a regulator that goes to 15lpm.....I may be wrong about this but I've never seen an O2 reg that topped out at 10lpm. DD

Hey Tony, Welcome to the club no one wants to be a member of!!! Sorry the beast is having his way with you!!! Sorry to tell you this, but when I was about 50 a doc told me most men grow out of CH in their late 50's.....at 63 I'm now wonderin what part of my late 50's he was referring to...LOL!!! Like everything else with this bastard I think it depends on who you're talkin to. Since you say that you're ready to try "alternative meds", my advice is to read, read, read in the clusterbusters files section and ask questions. There's folks on the board having success with several different options!! Good Luck and Welcome Home!!! Dallas Denny

Thanks so much for the well wishes ya'll!! As I told Leslie via PM, I never thought of Braniff Airlines and DFW airport as being measures of my antiquity......lol....but yeah, I remember both Braniff and and the contruction and opening of DFW......and I also remember when DFW was nothing but flat prairie land surrounded by more flat prairie land. As some of you already know, it has been a sad birthday week for me........my Mom, who has suffered with Parkinsons for many years, fell and broke her hip 2 weeks ago tomorrow.......she began to slip away on my birthday and went home to be with her Lord and Savior Wednesday evening with all of her family around her bed. Papa and I were talking yesterday after we laid her to rest and he reminded me of a time in late 69......I was around 22 and we were all sitting in their living room and I made the comment that in about 20 years they would be 63 years old and Dad laughed and said " yeah, and in 40 years you'll be 63 and if mama and I live long enough we'll be 83.....Mama would have been 83 on Juneteenth..... I guess Willie said it best, "Gee, Ain't it Funny How Time Just Slips Away"...... Please keep Papa in your prayers as he transitions to a new life without his partner of 64 years by his side. DD

Hey Darrin!! Really glad to hear you said NO to the gamma knife!!! It's been many years since I picked in the wild, but I always tried to go on a clear, moonlit nite.....would slip in the field at midnite, pick 3 or 4 hours and back out before sun up!! Like I said, MANY, MANY years ago....LOL!!! Kinda confused bout your doc's precsription for Lyrica....I've heard of the name before but no first hand experience.....all I could find on the net says it's used as an anti seizure med and for fibromyalgia.....maybe someone else here will know of it's use for CH. Anyway, Good Luck on all fronts and sendin you some PF wishes!! Dallas Denny

Hey Bob, Hope you have a great Birthday tomorrow!! Thanks so much for all that you do for clusterbusters, the board, and the CH community at large!! Happy 57th....I can almost remember bein that young!! lol!! Dallas Denny

Hi Tingeling! Not undermining Bobs work because it is tremendous and I wept several times during his presentation but YOU, my friend, have already STOOD UP!!! I know that I am not alone in saying that your posts have both encouraged me and given me hope that this treatment works as well for me as it has for you!! Dallas Denny

Hey Birdman, Sorry the beast is back!! Although the mycobags are simple, they just didn't work well for me. The PF Tek for BRF cakes is a fairly simple and fast method....maybe 8 to 9 weeks with ideal conditions. There is an excelent video of a pf tek version now on youtube. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Good luck and PF wishes Dallas Denny

I'm right there with you Leslie!! Tears runnin down my cheeks as I type......Well Done Bob!!! DD

Great news Eric, congratulations and good luck!!! I'll be lookin forward to your next post!! Dallas Denny

ROTFLMAO at CArl and Leslie!!!!

This has been posted on CH.com for quite some time but thought would post here as well in case someone misses it there: My wife Cindy and I will be hosting the meet n greet in our home on the far SE side of Dallas on Sat Mar 20th and Sun the 21st. For sleeping accomodations there's a Best Western Executive Inn here in town about a mile from our place. They gave me a tour of the rooms and it is a very nice, clean facility. They have a free breakfast, free hard wired internet, and the ususal in room amenities (iron, board, coffee, safe, hair dryer, ect). The normal weekend nite price for a single room with a king size bed is $65.oo + tax for a total of $72.57. , and a double room with 2 queen size beds is $69.99 + tax for a total of $76.97 If we book 10 rooms she will drop the price to $55 + tax for the double and $50 + tax for the single and if we end up booking over 10 rooms she will take care of the tax. We didn't discuss the rate if we don't book 10 rooms but the owner seemed very nice and I feel sure she'll be fair in applying a proportional discount in that case. We already have 4 that will need rooms so I didn't think 10 would be too much of a stretch to make with 2 months to go before the meet n greet. They have 4 double and 4 single (smoking allowed) rooms and they are all on the ground floor for those of ya'll that have to pray to the nicotine God on occasion like myself...lol. Best Western Executive Inn 1910 N US Hwy 175 Seagoville, TX 75159 Direct Phone # 972-287-9100 Reservations: 1-800-528-1234 Our Reservation Code is CHMNG Oh BTW, all ya'll rowdies might want to tone it down just a tad as the Seagoville Federal Detention Center is directly across the highway...LOL!! Our place in across the highway and about a mile east of the motel: 603 Meadow Grove Drive. Email to lonnyreddkaraoke@att.net or call 214.356.4477 if you need additional info. Dallas Denny
