Maybe one day they'll make Ear Loops for Him in army camo, or sumthin'.

From that it says:
Offers an alternative option to the traditional Swift FX for Her headgear
Maybe avi was right. Do I have the wrong mask

The worst part is when it changes colors as it jumps from one head to the other, like in the picture at this page!:

Scaaaaaarrry!

Wouldn't be easier if they both just got their own masks?

Bet their leak line looks funny in Sleepy Two Heads.

Silly, silly ResMed dudes. Gotta love 'em.

It's cool how it doesn't even mess up their hair, though, right?

There are some guys using the Bella Loops. You can't see the pink with it on or while asleep anyway.
Padacheek has some covers for the side things anyway. Nice normal "macho" colors.
I know it will freak Avi out but there is no reason why a man couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't wear the loops if they had a mind to.
I like them and that is probably reason enough for Avi to diss them.
I alternate between the loops and the traditional headgear. All depends on my mood.

I'm seriously thinking of trying the "bella loop" thingies. I don't give a shit that they're pink. Not like I'm going out on the town or anything with them.

Don't tell avi but I once purchased some "lady" pink slippers from Walmart to wear at home in the evening because they were comfy.

The priced on cpap.com isn't bad for those Bella Loops but the shipping would kinda suck I imagine since the order wouldn't be meeting their limit for "free shipping"... Wonder if I can find some on ebay or craigslist.. Hrmmm... Gonna go check!

You really should fix that you know. Wonder if Avi will still call men who use a "woman's" mask pansies if they have a tattoo?????

Well, we all know that I am a bad seed. Avi likes to tell everyone how bad so it much be so and when he finds out that I have not one but two tattoos I will likely be delegated to the women of the night who stand on street corners selling their bodies. Yeah, like he hadn't already put me in the company.

Long story but when I got home from getting my tattoo I drive in the driveway and notice that the mailbox across the road was in serious state of disrepair. Not a baseball bat this time (common sport at night on these country roads) because the pole was pulled out of the ground a goo 15 feet away from where it stood and the mailbox totally another 10 feet. So I pick up the pieces the best I can but things are broken and I am not good with this sort of fixing.

A few hours later a strange woman and her young (teenage) son were at my porch explaining that it was the young man who ran off the road and disassembled my mailbox and stand. She was making him own up to things. So we got it worked out that the young man will attempt to repair the mailbox so that it will stay on the pole. Some broken wood needs fixing..
I don't really want a new one....too much of a target for those baseball bat wheeling kids during the night.

Anyway back to tattoos. She had a really unique tattoo on her inner wrist. If you look a it one way it says Forever and look at it from the other end it said Always. How cool of an idea. She says her husband has the same thing but larger on his forearm.

Nice people. She is making him do the work to try to fix the anchoring mechanism. She noticed my new tattoo and commented on how unique it was and how pretty. And now I have hers on my mind. Wonder if I could get my husband on board for another tattoo for him and me.
