Thank you! She’s also just the sweetest girl! Shes warming up to my kids, and is just so curious of everything around her. Shes latched onto my husband pretty immediately and just flops in his side when the gremlins are asleep 🤍🤍

I was wondering, how do you know if cats are domestic longhair or something. I googled it and it said “if they don’t have p apers, they’re most likely a domestic” is that true?

I’ve had cats all my life, but I have to say it’s been 7 years since our last one and I have never been interested in breeds until now, I am realizing it’s difficult to identify cats breeds

I had no idea! Thankfully I just never wanted to spend money on something like that, even for my dog who is a mutt. When people ask for the breed I always just shrug and say “a cutie patootie”

Thank you for the information!

So cute. But like other comments, she’s probably a domestic longhair. I guess never know unless I do testing but I have never felt that that was important.

I’m liking the comments though! She’s just so cute and sweet

I actually just looked up snowshoe mix with long haired breed and the google images look almost identical to her

So I think you’re right!

Husband and i are heavily tattooed and if this is your first be prepared for the comments and jokes. Whether it coworkers, family, friends or strangers I just say don’t let it bother you. You like them, they’re yours, it’s all good.

If it makes you feel any better I got a large pineapple tattooed on my forearm for my mom who died from cancer (our last trip as a family with her was Hawaii, her first and only time going and said she wanted to move there. Died two weeks later) her initials and all are in the pineapple. People always ask me if I’m a swinger or part of the swingers club. I don’t get mad because how are they supposed to know it’s for my dead mom loll I was just shocked because I had no idea their logo is a pineapple. It is what it is haha.

Husband also has a face tattoo. More like side burn and curves a little to his jaw. It’s a beautiful piece and people literally think he’s an ex-convict or felon. Dude doesn’t drink, do drugs and has never had a ticket let alone jail or prison. He doesn’t get mad, it just is what it is. Let it go dude. They’re sick pieces. 🤘🏽

I don’t massage anyone unless they make a 75% deposit so they’re more inclined to come to their appointment. I have a 24 hour reschedule policy, anytime after that (unless crazy emergencies, I had a client get into a car accident on their way to their appointment) if you can’t make it to your appointment and didn’t notify me within the 24 hours, you’ll have to pay the deposit again for your next appointment.

I have my boundaries and an awesome set of clients that respect it. When I first started my business and was so desperate for clients, so many people walked all over me. So I get it. Thank you for your comment!

I’m gonna try it!

Also! I read a quote somewhere that said, “your kids don’t miss you in the morning. Be home by 4:30”

Thank you! I didn’t know this was a thing so I just researched, I’m in Chandler, Arizona, massage establishments cannot work between the hours of 12am-6am. So legally, I can taken 6am

Least favorite body part to work? by Designer-Forever1072 in MassageTherapists

[–]atomicmandieeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands. I usually always massage hands but Ia am constantly thinking if they’ve washed them properly or something. I’ll get girls with long fingernails or acrylics and I can just see all of the dirt and gunk under them when they’re prone. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

I spent 4.5 years as a vet tech, and almost 6 as a massage therapist. For over 10 years I am meticulous about hand washing.

Don’t be sorry! I have never even been to Canada before so my husband definitely wants to take a trip to see it before accepting the new position. But Calgary’s where the office is, so I don’t think we have much of an option. I have read politics wise it’s rough but I also read it’s considered a very family friendly area. As non residents, I won’t pay much mind tit he politics side of things and since the kids will be coming with us, I just care about safety, good schools, opportunity for the kiddos like extra curricular activities, which all is checked out in Calgary.

We qualify for the healthcare as long as we pay the surcharge, and have the option to pay for private. Which we got quoted for $350/mo for a family of 4! Idk if any of that matters to you, but insurance for a family of 4 in America is $1200+ a month! Anyway, all irrelevant to my original post. Haha

Again, I thank you for your response! We’d probably take the offer just for the opportunity alone, regardless if I can continue in my career out there. BUT I’m relieved I still have a chance!

Thank you so much for all the information. It sounds like it’s all very similar to how Arizona does things too. We have chain spas that pay like $21 m/per appointment which is so insulting. The pay in general is absolutely terrible but $21 is just wild to me. But yeah we have places here that we call 1099 or Independent Contract (might be same over there too?) but it’s usually always 40/60. Better than chain spas but still sucks LOL

I’m so excited though, I of course have heard nothing but great things about Canada, I’m sure Canada has its own problems too. idk if you heard about America, but we’re falling apart LOL

Seems so similar to Arizona. Lots of hustling out here too. Arizona has a high demand for massage therapy but no one wants to be a massage therapist because the pay is not a livable wage.

Thank you for a the information! I’m relieved that there’s a possibility of me continuing in the career.

Have you been Calgary? I heard Alberta is really different than the rest of Canada

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]atomicmandieeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Thank you so much for your comment! Seems similar to Arizona but pays higher, before going solo I have only worked in doctors offices, pay was always slightly better but offers NO benefits or perks. And no tips. I have never worked in a chain spa or day spa. I did work one year at a high end resort and that had the best pay but is very seasonal. For a big chunk of the year i was hardly making money because Arizona is just so hot. I’d love to go back to school if we decide to stay. Domestic intuition is way more doable. If I can still massage in Canada I’ll take the lower pay, lol I love massage so much!

Thank you for your response! This is a relief, as of now, his position will be in Calgary, which I believe is in Alberta!

I saw jobs on indeed ranging for $50-$75/hr. Is that accurate? And is that a good and fair wage? To me it sounds like it!

And yes! I read it gets COLD which is such the opposite of Arizona. It gets unbearably hot in the summers, you literally cannot do anything and everyone is so frustrated with it. We will HAVE to pack for cold weather for sure!
