Forget the neck, get it tattooed on your butt. Two words/characters on each cheek.

Pretend each set of parentheses are your butt cheeks:

(I heart)*(my dog)

The "*" is your sphincter.

YIKES!!!! Why didn't I think of that?


BTW BN, I saw your sleep test pic on FB. Just wondering how the test went? Do you need the CPAP?

Are you on FB and we're not friends? I need to fix that.

Sleep test went well, just waiting for doctor to sign off on CPAP machine and looking forward to decent nights rest.

Sleep test? Glad you're getting it sorted out. Sueño es muy importante.

Why can't Canada have Spanish immersion? At least in my region.

I only go on FB every once in a while to see pics of the family.


Here's your future:



I've been using mine for about 10 years. Probably keeps me alive.

That's kind of what I figure. I plan on using a similar type of mask. Blood sugars are always out of whack in the mornings and its a miracle my heart has yet to explode.

My dad uses a CPAP machine because 78 years of snoring and the lack of sleep that comes with it has played havoc with his mind. Twice in two days, last October, he set out in his car and got lost. Both times he was going to visit mom (who was in rehab due to hip surgery). That was scary as hell for everybody involved since my folks have lived in the Quad Cities since 1959 and a drive from their home in Coal Valley to East Moline can almost be done blindfolded. One time he was gone for almost 7 hours. That scared him enough to dig his CPAP machine out of the closet and actually use it. It's worked wonders. Mom just has to keep on him to use it EVERY night. He had it in the closet for two years before he started using it.

He did get a full check up and everything is about normal for a 78 year old. Hope we don't have to go through that again for a long time.

You should go on more often. I talk to SSPers more there than I do here anymore.

A couple of people I've talked each said something to the effect of "I don't know how you could sleep with one of those things covering your face" to which I respond that I don't even care at this point so long as I can get a good night's sleep, which I haven't had in forever. The only weird part of the sleep study for me was having wires all over my head, throat and neck.

You look like a villain in retirement.
