Thank you Michael. Crying. Shared. So damned ashamed.

It could be your face isn’t the right shape for the mask- different straps or a different mast entirely might work better. There are other brands than resmed that may be more appropriate. It’s SUCH a bitch to find the right one. I feel for you.

This is what I ended up getting too!

I wish this one had worked for me. My mouth hung open and all the air justwent in through my nose and blew out my mouth. Not even a chin strap helped.

You mask isn’t fitting if it’s blowing into your eyes (I totally understand- mine did too. I ended up with perpetually bloodshot eyes without all the fun of being stoned). Top straps need to be tighter, or you need a different mask. I went through 8 before finding the one that fits best. Maybe try a nasal one instead?…

Think of it this way: What if the only options for hair color on a driver’s license were “light” and “dark”? How would they classify people with medium-brown hair, or redheads, or people with extreme highlights and lowlights, or someone who’d been dyeing their hair blue for so many years they couldn’t even tell you…

Oh Prachi, I LOVE your Dadaji. XO

If I might offer a counterpoint, I’m sure there are at least a fugue good people here sharp enough to understand the tenor of this conversation. So please, continuo!

this isn’t a problem, this is a solution

Thank you for the explanation. KIDS THESE DAYS. They look like a combo goth/candy ravers. As I say, adorable! If I was 16, I would be all for it.

Amen.

Extrajudicial shootings of black men by police = Lynching 2.0. This is racial terrorism. This is how it works. And we are at the point where it’s not even just police anymore. White men in general decide to kill a black person or otherwise harm them and they get off with a slap on the wrist or worst, no punishment at…

I already flagged that son of a bitch.

Those people can go fuck themselves too.

the point is, we may take different forms, but our minds are as one.
