When people are upset the two most common emotions are to laugh or cry. I wish we could all learn to laugh a little more at the crap in life. I mean, there's so much of it! You either learn to laugh or you'll go crazy eventually. Sometimes you just have to get back up after life knocks you down, and say, "You hit like a bitch." When I'm upset I do all sorts of childish things. I color with crayons, blow bubbles, jump rope, hula hoop, swing on the swings, "smoke" candy cigarettes and I make things!... Seriously, try it sometime!! It really does work. I've taught many of my buddies with high stress jobs this, and every single one of them came back saying they couldn't believe it but it works. Those childhood memories tend to be the strongest. If you can tap into those, you can get through an awful lot!

Some of us are talented enough to laugh and cry at the same time.

I'm working on a shot with the mask on and will post when I can get it together. I have one ultra scary one of me at my sleep test and I'll upload either this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon (work has been a bear for the last 2 weeks). The sleep study pic was taken at the time when 3 hours of sleep for me was a good night. Rough doesn't even begin to explain the pic LOL. I suggest you hold onto your britches and god forbid don't be checking it out on a smartphone while walking or driving. You'll wipe out.

I've been away from here for a while and THIS was the thread I read first when I was able to. LUCKY ME Ya'll been having a good time for sure: sex toys, artillery, tats, crappy dme's and more...

Thank you Abby for starting the thread. It has been entertaining beyond any words I could use to describe it

You can use this for some inspiration for the 2012 Halloween Costume Contest for your XPAP Mask , which happened thanks to Karen aka birdshell !!! viewtopic.php?t=18609#p159573

(too bad most of the pics are gone. )

Babs tried to revive it again in 2008 but there were no takers? Not sure about the last FOUR YEARS. bloody hell has it been that long?

Step up one of you enthusiastic young'ens and organize this already! (or in 2 months time )

You got the tattoo picture..that is likely all you will get.
I don't have any pictures with me with any gear. I am terribly shy about my pictures...with or without cpap gear. I don't know if I can get over the insecurity issues that I have about pictures of me. So don't hold your breath. We all have different issues and that happens to be one of mine. So before you all try to talk me into it....I will say that I will think about it and work on it. I am not making any promises though.

Looks great CF. However, I'm surprise you didn't get your earring snagged while putting on the loops, ouch!
