Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have been known to snore chickens out of the chicken coop which got me to thinking. How do you think drovers dealt with heavy snorers? Will snoring spook the cattle to a stampede? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Had a coach in HS that had worked cattle ranches to put himself thru school - said they put a pinch of snuff in the corner of each eye to stay awake when riding night herd. Bet that meant no snoring too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I reckon that after a long day punching cows that most cowboys could sleep thru it. I could be wrong. I snore loud, or did until the doc put me on a CPAP machine, and I've had shoes thrown at me, been moved into a different room, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ole Apnia Al Being A Cautionary Tale of the Dangers of Snoring on the Drive Ole Apnia Al was a heck of a pal and a heck of a cowboy to boot He could ride with the best, a true man of the West, he could rope, brand, and boy could he shoot I remember the time we was near Clementine, a small railhead up north of nowhere We had bedded the herd and I was assured that the town would be fun if we'd go there Well me and ole Slim had a few shots of Gin and wandered on back with the drovers When we got to the camp, the weather was damp and the pollen was thick from the clovers This sign boded no good, for Slim had him a hood that he wore when conditions were bad It kept him from snorin like a volcano roarin, yup that hood was the best thing he had But alas we found out with a moan and a shout that Billy (who was always the joker) Had purloined Slim's hood, thinkin it was no good, and lost it in town playin poker We sent Billy on back through the Montana black to try and win back Slim's protection Mean while we scrambled while Slim cried and rambled "We're doomed if I go sleep's direction" "The cattle will run like they's shot from a gun onct they hear my snortin and sawin" "They might stomp us to death, we done breathed our last breath!" He commenced to start caterwaulin Well I sat up all night and it sure was a sight as I pinched Slim's nose shut with fence pliers He eventually dozed off with nary a cough as I sat grumbling loud by the fire At the sun's rosy dawn young Bill came along with Slim's hood that he'd won back at last We ate us some food in the foulest of moods as ole Slim packed his gear up real fast He packed up his hood and his bedroll real good and said "Boy's this just ain't my life" "This snorin's a beast, think I'll head on back East and find me a rich but deaf wife" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deja Vous Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have been known to snore chickens out of the chicken coop which got me to thinking. How do you think drovers dealt with heavy snorers? Will snoring spook the cattle to a stampede? The truth is cattle love snoring.. it is a sort of white noise to them.. lol.. For me it means earplugs and a white noise machine.. lol.. Each to their own, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 TPP: See your doc and ask to be checked out for sleep apnea (heavy snoring is often an indicator). It's no joke; I had a series of seizures until they found the problem. Doc put me on a CPAP (my wife loved the quiet), and 3 years later (and nearly 100 lbs lighter) I was able to stop using it without returning to snoring. But get checked out.

Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Double L, I am attach to that wonderful CPAP machine every sleeping hour. My deal is when I travel. I am afraid 1) I am scaring airline passengers and 2) might get shot in a hotel room just like Hardin did to the poor fellow in the next room. I bought one of them high dollar mouth guard the other day. Once I opened the box it is nothing but a regular sports mouthguard I can get from Wally World. It is back in the box and going back to the store. TPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My kids asked their mom if they could smother me. Kept waking them up in their own rooms. I almost stopped snoring once I quit smoking. Still do once in awhile, usually when I sleep on my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, weight loss will help reduce snooring. By a great deal. Now all I have to do is practice what I preach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenny Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have graduated from a CPAP to a BIPAP machine. Bi has more pressure. Cpap broke and they would not replace it with out a second test. That's when I got the BIPAP. TSA only glances at them. Not like when I went to the Convention in 2010. Got hand searched in Richmond Va & Las Vegas.

SASS# 23321 Canelo Kid Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Awww, just give the snorer a peck on the neck and a pat on the backside while saying "Nighty night". He won't snore at all. Of course he probably won't sleep either. Safe trails, C(Manhood secure)Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Another cure is to give the snorer a goodly dose of a laxative. Has a good influence on his REMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
