Hose Head Decal

Post by squid13 » Sun Sep 11, 2011 4:08 pm

I'm not a great artist, can't draw at all but what we need is a decal. A character with a mask on an underneath words saying Hose Head Society Member. I'd put it on my car and when someone asked me about it , I'd tell them about sleep apnea. Good way to get the word out, a little good humor never hurts.

Great idea! I'm not an artist at all, or I'd offer to help.

Something like the "Diver Down" symbol?

How about a picture of a nose, with an imprint / ring around it. This will symbolize what those of us who use nasal masks wake up with every morning.
I'm workin' on it.

Or BDSM - Breathing Disordered (Sleep) Member or machine? Would that need a picture?

I don't think just putting BDSM on a sticker for your car or anything would be a good idea lol

I think some folks would get the wrong idea with just BDSM - the dyslexic may read it as S&M - BD

Let's face it though; CPAP is a form of bondage and sado-masochim!
