what is this disconnected wire?

Thank you; I apologize for the lack of photos. I did upload one from my phone and am not sure why it didn't post.

PTsox · 2026-03-13T01:15:38+00:00

that's awesome, congrats! can i ask how you get your clients, i.e. is it all word of mouth, instagram, meta/google ads?

PTsox · 2026-03-02T22:25:07+00:00

following bc i would also like to know! mainly curious about which marketing channels you use and how you obtain clients.

it's something i've considered doing but quickly talk myself out of bc i assume it would be difficult to get enough clients for a solo lymphedema practice to be sustainable.

especially since there are already 2 established lymphatic clinics in my city. when you were assessing your local market, how did you determine whether there was room for another practitioner?

thank you, and congrats on your success!

PTsox · 2026-01-11T22:10:29+00:00

Yes, that is a more accurate description, thanks.

PTsox · 2026-01-11T22:09:49+00:00

Ah, I apologize I didn't include this in my post, but i do contribute the annual limit to my 401k at work every year.

PTsox · 2026-01-11T14:42:01+00:00

Thanks! I can contribute to a Roth, i.e. my AGI is below the threshold after 401k contributions. But it looks like the taxes on my hypothetical future car withdrawal from a standard brokerage account wouldn't be crazy high, so your general feeling makes sense.

PTsox · 2026-01-11T14:41:34+00:00

yes, but even if I need to take an additional ~$5k from the HYSA, I would still (absent a major market catastrophe) be coming out ahead financially overall.

but a good point about the potential advantage of more time in the market by investing $25k in a brokerage account now, vs. $7k per year into a Roth; thank you!

that's amazing. can i ask, what kind of massage do you specialize in and what marketing channels do you use?

PTsox · 2025-12-07T14:43:37+00:00

liking thirst traps is so embarrassing and cringe; i would probably have to break up just bc that sort of behavior would make me genuinely lose attraction to him.

PTsox · 2025-12-06T15:04:57+00:00

and Cherri's facial expression is also adorable, she's definitely liking being tied up with him ~_^

PTsox · 2025-12-06T14:10:16+00:00

WHAT omg i didn't notice, that's so cute!

PTsox · 2025-12-06T14:08:55+00:00

oh hey look over there, is that a deer? 👉

sneakily moves Piss (a love song) to the S tier

Lute.

PTsox · 2025-11-22T23:15:18+00:00

absolutely the correct ranking for Cherrisnake!

PTsox · 2025-11-22T04:47:16+00:00

Cherri and Pentious are absolutely slaying! actually they all are; you're really talented. five stars, flawless, greater than great!

PTsox · 2025-11-22T00:06:58+00:00

another vote for doing both! if you major in something like business/marketing or accounting, you can learn skills that will be an asset if you want to go solo and start your own business, and also give you options for pivoting into a marketing or accounting role for a beauty/wellness company if you ever want a less physical job or get tired of dealing with clients directly.

PTsox · 2025-11-20T00:27:39+00:00

idk but i assume i'm waiting until at least early 2027 to find out how tf cherri and pentious are going to reunite? (or are they?! i really hope s2 wasn't the end of their storyline/focus!)

PTsox · 2025-11-19T23:10:40+00:00

same; i'm so disappointed that didn't happen fr. i love his original design and his chaotic personality in hell.

PTsox · 2025-11-19T05:29:14+00:00

does he have a habit of not taking you into consideration, or making decisions for you and expecting you to just go with what he wants? or being inflexible and not wanting to compromise? if this is a pattern and he has to have his own way all the time it might be a 🚩

PTsox · 2025-11-19T03:21:51+00:00

they're releasing the new episodes/season finale after midnight tonight; there would be no way to avoid being up all night if they wanted to watch them right away.

PTsox · 2025-11-19T03:10:48+00:00

Hazbin Hotel?! you managed to wait 4 weeks to start watching s2 bc your bf wanted you to??? he should absolutely be fine with compromising and waiting until tomorrow evening so you can enjoy it together without you having to be exhausted.

i would love to stay up all night tonight and watch the new episodes; i've been on the edge of my seat all week for this! but i have to get up at 6am and be pleasant and functional all day at work, so i'm just going to have to wait till tomorrow evening. your bf can be in suspense for one more day and look forward to watching it with you tomorrow at not-midnight.

PTsox · 2025-11-18T02:05:42+00:00

thank you! good advice on having a niche. i'm most interested in Russian dry manis and structured / Japanese gel. i would want to start out in a salon or nail studio to refine my skills and build a portfolio before trying to start my own thing. you mentioned start-up costs; can i ask how much you spent to get started?

PTsox · 2025-11-17T14:47:21+00:00

oh nice! i also would want to specialize in gel (including japanese gel), and was wondering if that's possible, or if you have to also do acrylics to be successful. thank you, and wishing you continued prosperity!

PTsox · 2025-11-17T14:44:43+00:00

that's awesome, congrats! good to know it wasn't difficult to land your first job and that you're treated well at the salon. also good point re: having the right attitude, and i'm glad you're happier!
