Yes! .............................. Go Steelers!

Haha! Love it!

Mr. Napster grew up in Johnstown, PA, and the first time we flew back to Pittsburgh to meet his parents, we had to stop at a Steelers store. He bought me a Steelers hat, scarf, and mittens, covering me in black and gold. After his handy work was done, he stood back and said "Okay, NOW you're ready to meet my mother!"

He has four sisters, and jokes that of all five children, he is the fifth most likely to get into a fight over football. I learned quickly: if I'm going to hold my own with these Steeler women, I'm going to have to know my sh*t about football!

Notyourz, I can definitely see the difference. You look like you've gotten younger!

And Starlette, the Aloha set-up is hilarious. I should have taken a pic in one of my jerseys, to honor the upcoming football season! But in this house, we are strictly black and gold (Go Steelers!).

My hubby is STILL thinking of getting a black and gold skin for his S9! But that would be slightly less hilarious than our matching pink ones, so he's held off.

Thanks Nap! You are too

I need to find one really clear pic of me about 6 months before therapy to really show the difference xPAP has made. Even though I've got a long way to go with undoing the damage severe OSA has given me over many years, I do feel improvements every day.

Our house during football season is a mixed bag - I don't think we really have one favorite team, but we sure know who we don't like to win LOL. I used to be a Miami fan (born and raised there and lived in FL until 4 years ago) but things have changed so drastically for that team that I can't call them "mine" anymore. I'm into the Steelers, Cowboys, Panthers, Raiders, ...... basically any team BUT the Patriots!

If you notice, the women aren't dolled up in make-up. I purposely didn't wear any make-up. Why wear pretty make-up, then throw your mask over the prettiness? I don't wear my make-up to bed. So might as well give a natural face photo and mask photo without make-up.

I sent the links to my photos to Sleepweaver marketing; just to give them an idea of their fit and my lab-ratting.
Positive feedback. They are so NICE! --didn't even poke fun at my jowls.
Thank you, Angela, for building a fire under this silly old frog.

Sorry for this off topic response but I had to respond as a Redskins fan. Our motto is anybody but the Cowboys even though the Giants are two time world champions.

Hmm, as one who is the fan of a football team whose middle name used to be "DRAMA", just because things have changed drastically is no excuse for you to no longer be a fan:) But since you are rooting for the Panthers and Raiders and not cherry picking winning teams, I will let you slide:)

Napster - The Redskins play the Steelers so that will be an interesting game. Hopefully, you won't slaughter us.

Chearyshe - Loved your video. I would never do that in a million days but do feel like a big kid.

Back on topic - No way am I posting a picture but I salute the folks who have done it.

I really never had seen myself in mask until I took this picture. I think I win for scariest. SU, you couldn't possibly look worse than this!
