It is from being over weight and not taking care of your self, I love team driving when the other person can drive right! (By that I mean when they don’t cross lanes and jerk back to their lane, or go off road hard breaking is a big no no. You have to find the right person you can trust.

I have sleep apnea. Quit saying it is about weight. It's about fatty growth inside your nasal cavity.","replyToPid":15049}
