I liked RC best in Shogun, not quite as well in The Thorn Birds.

Well, then, (1) take one picture of yourself in the mirror brushing your teeth with rollers in your hair and some of that exfoliating-cream-mask stuff on your face; (2) take a second picture of yourself with glowing skin, perfect hair, and makeup, but with your CPAP mask on; and (3) then let your kids and husband help you decide which one you should post and which one to delete.

(How's that for a suggestion from a guy too chicken to post his own picture with the mask?)

[And what exactly would Dad do if he actually found pinholes in his eyelids, anyway? ]

This is actually an old photo, but it's the only one I have for now. I guess I was using the Swift FX and the RipVW chinstrap. Yeah, I haven't touched those in a while! I'll post an update photo soon.

Haven't has the nose ring for a while either. Dare I say that I'm actually sexier now? I certainly have more gray!

Ain't that the truth.
No doubt about who that baby belongs to. Spitting image of his daddy.

The mask in your photo sure looks like my Swift™ LT, rather than my FX. I like the security of the LT, as I found the FX tends to flop around more.

Maybe your photo mask is an earlier version of the Swift™ FX with which I'm not familiar. I'm also not familiar with the RipVW. Earl

That mask is an LT, almost 100% sure.

Interesting; it's a bit like the chin strap on the P/R Full life.

Tattoo, do you still use the RipVW chinstrap? I use a nasal pillow mask and can imagine my chin pulling the pillows right out of my nose. It really worked with your NP mask? Very curious and interested.

I abandoned that chinstrap a while back and now use the PAPcap by Pur-Sleep (Bret).
