My wife says I look like a big bug.

What about you?

Depends on the mask. SWMBO says I look like an elephant with the nasal mask on. With the Swift she says it looks like I've got my scuba gear on.

Strange, I feel like that too. Maybe not the elephant part.

That was scarey, just before I logoff and go to bed! Gee, I hope I don't have nightmares. (j/k)

Just think what our spouses go through every night.

My husband says I look like a jet fighter pilot and sound like Darth Vader . Whenever I add another new "fix" like pantyhose around my head or tape over the mouth he just can't help but LOL--and I've been on this thing for more than a year now! You'd think I'd be able to get it right.
One of these days I'm gonna hit the perfect setup--I hope.

Grabraham, the caption on your photos could read:

Thanks for sharing.

Grab,

You have the most guts of anyone on this site. Good for you not being shy to post those photos. You wouldn't catch me posting mine in my headgear.

In answer to the question, my husband said I look "scary."

I actually scared the hell out of my daughter last night when I went to the bathroom and passed by her in the semi-darkness with my mask on. Think of the Halloween possibilities!!!

Oh2Breathe,

I know it's not funny, but that was hysterical! How old is your daughter? Just tell her she can borrow your mask, as long as she's home by midnight, on Halloween and use it as part of her costume. That's also a way of finding out who else in your neighborhood has OSA because if any parents recognizes what it is, you'll know either they or their spouse probably has OSA.

I feel a new thread topic coming on. What costumes do you think we could use our masks for on Halloween???

~ Oh 2 breathe
The other night I woke up at around 2:30AM, went out to use the bathroom and saw the light on upstairs and the kids computer still running. Grumbling under my breath, I climbed up the stairs, mask on to turn them off. The light was on in the bathroom too. I went to the door and my teenage daughter who had been reading there looked up and went into cardiac arrest. Actually she survived nicely, but somehow it seemed very amusing when I recounted it in my mind. I didn't even think of it when I went up there. And no, it wasn't actual cardiac arrest.

Years from now our teenage daughters will be in therapy and perhaps start a support group for "Survivors of Midnight Alien Encounter Trauma."
