Also things vary, night to night, we have to take the bad with the good. We just have to keep working to maximize the good. Keeping a good attitude is half the battle. Jim

Nothing feel better than a nights success, it makes it worthwhile.

Now I'm HOPING I'm wrong.
As I've mentioned many times before, my full beard and mustache have really caused me problems with getting a good seal on my mask.
Although I would point out, you still didn't actually confirm your gender. And with a gender neutral name like "Chris"...

Liam, reductio ad absurdum.

That's good. Folks who know me know that occasionally my attempts at humor go awry (perhaps more than occasionally... Perhaps most people aren't aware I'm trying to be funny.. ), but I never intend to offend.

Liam, still worried that one day "his" wife is going to notice that the hose isn't the only thing "he" straps on.

I like the idea of a party with everyone "dressed" in their nose hose gear -- made me howl with laughter just thinking about it -- thanks for the good laugh. (Athens may be a long trip, however)!

I haven't been laughing much since I started this a week ago. Don't have the EncorePro software yet so I don't know what my numbers are but am not very happy in the morning exhausted and mentally confused -- more so than usual -- which isn't saying much! I'm really struglling with my FP FF mask -- my mouth still falls open and then I wake up to leaks and have to readjust the mask. I think I'll try the great suggestions about using head bands to help with the dropping chin and taping my mouth shsut -- which I swore I would not do. Bad sleep is worse, I'm sure.

Sorry about the venting -- I'm determined this will work and hope to find the right combination of mask/humidification/tape/headbands/etc etc etc.

Thanks to all the great posts from you veterans, we newbies can hold out great hope for good sleep someday!

By the way, just a little personal note -- I was suppose to get a new mask to try yesterday but was snowed in with the major blizzard that has hit Denver. We have 2' of snow and can't get out to the street due to huge banks of snow. It will be a white Christmas, for sure! Hope to dig out tomorrow or Sat. at the latest. So here I am with my new friend, the nose hose, husband, and 2 main coons! At least we are stuck at the airport or on the roads!

Best regards to everyone for a Happy Holiday and New Year!

Hey, if I'm going to subtly impugn your male-ness, then I damn well should not so subtly impugn my own.

It's only fair.

Although to be brutally honest, I'm ugly enough as a guy. As a woman, I'd be hideous!

Liam, don't ask how he knows that so well.
