Those are traditional earrings from Ukraine--about 40 years old.
They have little hinged loops that lock onto the wires, which are heavier than usual.
I rarely have them catch on anything.

Re: I triple dog dare you...
Chunkyfrog, wow! I love those homemade Elan loops!
There are clearly some people worried about posting pictures due to public humiliation. I am willing to continue to break this ice. Here is me, in a liberty hybrid, my hair in rag curlers. Come on, people. It doesn't get much sillier than this.
(For what it's worth, the Liberty is pretty small, even though it looks like I have a ton of stuff on my face. I just like lots of soft fluff with this mask, so you are looking at Padacheeks and a RemZzzzs liner.)

And now it's your turn!

Re: I triple dog dare you...
Nap_ster and ChunkyFrog, great pictures!! Rag curls, bitchin'!! Lordie I haven't done rag curls in ages! I love the silly pics! I think I need to start a thread this week and have people show the mods they've done to their masks, machines, etc. It would be neat to get some fresh ideas on how to make this more comfy!! You guys rock and I think we should totally do a costume mask post at Halloween!!
Sending hugs out to all of you Hoseheads!! I wuvs you! <3 xoxo, Angela

Re: I triple dog dare you...
I just came up with an idea for my picture. If I can get up early enough and get ready soon tomorrow morning, I'll have DH shoot a couple of shots for the forum.
Provided he wakes up in a good mood. Of course, my hair has to be sexy and looking great quickly tomorrow morning. Rigggght Starlette, only in my dreams

Re: I triple dog dare you...
It will give you that J.B.F.H. look, so no worries. >:) *cough cough*
Re: I triple dog dare you...
As promised, and I CANNOT BELIEVE I'm doing this LOL!
Me at my 1st sleep study:

Me with my Mirage Liberty mask (homemade tights band to keep nasal pillows in place when I sleep and fleece headgear strap covers):

What I look like with 2 months of APAP therapy going well, but not perfect (yet). That's due to oxygen desat issues that should be resolved soon. Doc suggested an oxygen tank connected through APAP machine. I'm waiting for the latest test results to see if it's needed:

I can tell a HUGE difference between the sleep study pic taken in May and the one above taken this morning.

Re: I triple dog dare you...
OK, here I am. Yes, that is a jersey I'm wearing for the first preseason game. Bet you don't know for who!
3 photos are as follows:
1) Sabu - I also included a picture of the real family dog, Sabu, from this past Christmas. You can surely see the resemblance.
1) Me
2) Up-close photo of me and the family dog look-a-like, Sabu (I'm wearing my Hybrid FFM & Sabu is wearing my Aloha)
The only thing I forgot to add was my black tights strap around my pillows.
I did it!!! Wasn’t so hard after all

Does this mean you're a Jet fan now or were you the first one to get a Mark Dell jersey.

When Tim Tebow was our quarterback. I have this thing now, I like getting the jersey of the Denver Broncos quarterback.
Soon it will be Peyton Manning #18

Re: I triple dog dare you...
Starlette and Notyourz, you two are beautiful! Thanks for those pictures!
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.

Re: I triple dog dare you...
It's dark and it's grainy, but here's a web cam shot of me in the new bella loops with a padacheek barrel cozy, padacheek strap pads and a exhaust flow diffuser modeled after one HoseCrusher designed and sent me a year ago. But it doesn't have my John Lennon granny glasses since I don't sleep with them on my nose
