The Ka-tet Cantina 2

[Becks19]

It's only Wednesday - are you guys taking off to go somewhere? If so, have a nice trip! bon voy-a-jee

Nope, I still have a dang cold and plan to be lazy. After we do the conference thing, I plan to take my girls to see Hotel Transylvania 2 and The visit! May you all have a fantastic weekend and stay warm. ( we are already getting close to 30 in the mornings and will make it to 29 on Sat morn!) Hugs to you all.

Butt but but ... butt crack !?

I'm pretty sure mine clenched up after that experience!

I really gave him an honest try, but was so uncomfortable, that I think my back was in worse shape after the massage....
He talked about his ex fiancee the entire time, but in present tense, like they were still together, and would correct himself and say "ex" after every sentence.... When he was working on my legs, he grabbed my ankle and started gushing about how beautiful my tattoo is.....then he wanted to know what color I used to paint my toenails.....
If that wasn't bad enough, he asked if he could massage my abdomen, and if my bowels were working well. Never has anyone asked me either of those questions. When he asked if he could massage lower on my back, "because he couldn't see butt crack yet", I decided we were done.
Most horrible experience ever.

So I guess there is no point in asking you if it moved........?

It's people like that that give truly qualified massage therapists a bad rep.

I've never had a professional massage, but I may have to now. I wasn't aware that a free bowel exam was included and since my proctologist broke his finger I've been searching for an alternative.

After the floorball i feelö like a newly dug up corpse. Stiff and aching all over. Right now i would be ideal as an extra in a zombiemovie. I CANT WALK IN ANY OTHER WAY!!! This slowly stuttering limping awkward walk is all i manage now.

This is why I don't trust anyone who recommends exercise.

See? This is just what I mean.

Seriously, though, he wasn't completely off in what he was saying about the belly massage. We're taught to do it in a circular clockwise motion working in toward the navel to follow the digestive tract to relax that area--not just tight muscles--and that helps with any "issues" that may be going on with digestion and...elimination.

Needless to say, I am very thankful that my first massage therapist was able to keep me worked into her schedule.

I am outraged and appalled. Sorry for your experience. Not bad enough that one is so vulnerable anyway, and then to get hit with that.

Worst I've had is a Korean massage therapist (shut up - this was in Korea, and I was hurting) who kinda beat on me. But still, effective at getting the knots out. She merely replaced them with bruises.

I know...........I'm a bad egg.

That is interesting to know though. Perhaps he should have asked Sunny if she was familiar with the belly massage and the benefits of such before asking her if the mail was still being delivered on time.

I'm sure this guy has some scheduling availability!..

Did she use one of those bamboo sticks on you like I've seen in the........um.....movies?

Exactly! And a professional massage therapist would have done that. Same thing with breast massage. He also would not have mentioned butt crack. He should have instead been reassuring the client about draping (keeping the naughty bits covered properly).

His lack of professionalism was what I found so off putting.....by the time he asked me that, I was as stiff as a board again.
My main problem is that the vertebrae in my lower back lack the motion that they should have normally....and I get knots in my shoulders due to the way I work.

I really am learning a lot today..........

No sticks or stones. Just enthusiasm and elbows.

No feet? She didn't walk on you?

Workin' the pecs. Not to be confused with........

Oh, never mind.

No, I get that at home.
