Here's mine!

EDIT: I did some searching and didn't find a symbol already out there, but did find out that a black wristband is used for sleep apnea awareness. Check out the link!

Drummergirl, I love it!!!!!

And, about the link.... OH FREAKIN' GREAT! NOW I HAVE ANOTHER STUPID RIBBON I HAVE TO WEAR AND THEN THERE WILL BE ANOTHER FREAKIN' 3-DAY WALK....

Anyone see that episode of "Seinfeld" when Kramer refused to wear THE RIBBON? I'm feeling very Kramer...

LOL,
B.

Hey Echo, sorry, he's not wearing a mask... I can't use a NON COMPLIANT PATIENT as the SpokesModel for Sleep Apnea!!!!

But it's a great pic, nonetheless... In fact... I may have to steal it for my avatar...

GoofProof... That's not funny, that's sick! So you know I laughed my butt off...

LOL,
B.

Rooster... I don't know which is more disturbing - the fact that the t-shirt appears to be electric, or that the person appears to have the same symbol tattooed on their throat...

LOL,

Cheers,

The tee shirt is printed with fluorescent dye and fluorescent ink was used to draw the design on the neck.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

I like it but I guess that's cause I LOVE my Mac!
