What's on your agenda for today?

[Cookie]

Sounds like everyone is having a fine day today. Merlin, your trip does say exciting, you may not be jumping up and down, but I'm sure your looking forward to it.
Get well people, enjoy your massages, vacuuming and resting. I'm going out to play!:banana:

 

[Ameriscot]

I used to love giving and receiving massage many moons ago, but apart from my daughters, I rarely do one these days. I can offer you or anyone else a virtual massage :bounce:

Can you work on my shoulder a bit more, please?

 

[Cookie]

I think I'm due for a spa day. Anyone got a spare $500 or so they don't need?

 

[Ameriscot]

Heading back to the trees again, guess I' lol go get a massage...

Just don't get yourself arrested for asking for a bit more than is offered!

Sorry, but I'll be spending my $$ in the US this summer and I don't expect to have much left!

 

[QuickSilver]

Found a place giving a 90 minute for $89.. Not bad.. I've paid more than that for less than one hour of actual massage time.

 

[Cookie]

Ahh well, no harm in trying ... y'all have fun now!

 

[Cookie]

We have a Sutherland Chan around the corner from me. I guess I'll have to make do with that.

 

[Shalimar]

Cookie, what is a Sutherland Chan? Play? Why didn't you invite me? I love to play!!!

 

[Cookie]

Shali, its a massage therapy school and clinic where massages by student practitioners cost way less. Sorry, should have been specific, I just assume it's well known.

Cookie, I live in cultural purdah, relatively speaking. Lollolllol. Although the wineries and chefs here are incredible.

 

[Cookie]

With wineries and chefs, who needs massage clinics. And Victoria is pretty good culturally in my view.

Of course Annie.......funnily enough my youngest daughter Cathy has a recurring really knotted shoulder, it seems a common affliction.

Wow. 90 minutes! I've had two back to back massages for two hours, and that was a bit long.

Oh dear Annie there is more to life than sitting with a mouse you need to get out more :bigwink:

 

[Shalimar]

Sitting here, watching my body turn blue, I need a massage. Sitting on pillows, fell down many times yesterday, derrière is blue today. Lol. Serves me right.lol. No pain no gain,

But it was fun, right!

Where do you get all these cute pics?! LOL, thanks but I get out plenty. There will be no mouse in my America trip or Thailand one, so trapezius will get a break.

Looks like lots of folks here are getting, or hope to get, a massage. I know most people like massages but I've only had one in my life and i found it a little creepy. I think it was because I had to disrobe and there I was in a place where I knew nobody.

I'd really like to sky-dive at least once and for sure I'd like to zip-line whenever possible. I've never done either of these activities but I know it would be fun. I'd also like to learn to swim better, and also roller-blade like Shali but I need to find out what protective gear is needed to roller-blade. Whenever I mention to people these things I'd like to try, they look at me like I've lost all my marbles. Motto: Don't live where folks are extremely judgmental.

I've had many massages. Some were pure bliss, some were painful! Never get a Thai massage. Ouch!

I'm afraid of heights but would still like to buddy sky dive. Ziplining is in my plans in the near future.

 

[Shalimar]

Kath, for rollerblading, you need a helmet and knee and elbow pads. Let the people stare. What they think of you is none of your business!

I've never had a massage, but its going on the bucket list, just may do that on vacation this year.

Deep muscle massage is the one I like best. Gets any knots out of your muscles. I've nearly fallen asleep getting massaged.

I always fall asleep Annie, well not quite sleep, but so relaxed I couldn't lift a finger. Funnily enough I used to specialise in deep tissue massage, its good for pain relief when acupressure points are used. I still do it occasionally on friends and family, but am too weak and past it, to give a full hour massage these days ld:
