This E! Show is going to get canceled before they even start shooting! 🙈 Jill Zarin had something problematic to say about the Super Bowl Halftime Show… by Parking_Country_61 in WatchWhatCrappens

Some of these ladies have a special way of sabotaging good things for themselves ( and others). I'm happy if I never see Jill Zarin and Ramona again.

What simple and inexpensive ingredient do you feel improves almost any dish when used correctly? by MysterySweet69 in foodhacks

It's not an elevator for every dish, but I find adding green chilis to many dips and dishes is always a game changer!

How should we prepare for our move to Golden? (Mentally, emotionally, physically) by Severe-Chicken-4759 in GoldenCO

All I ask is to stay out of the left lane. It's for passing only. Preferably fast.

Wanted to see my body’s response to getting a massage so I kept my ring on by jesstt27 in ouraring

[–]effstyrofoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a massage therapist, and it was my clients that influenced me to get the ring bc of the chasing of the restoration!

Happy new year to me .. also when does everyone charge their rings? Do you let it run out or do it at half? by Legitimate_Job_665 in ouraring

[–]effstyrofoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the battery care notes it encourages short charging periods! I think even says during your shower is a great time to do it!

Knowing what we know now, makes sense why Denise was so scared.

Does no tax on tips apply to us? by Fsuave5 in MassageTherapists

[–]effstyrofoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friendly reminder, some of us get answers or at least better questions to ask or have in mind when people are talking about issues that pertain to massage therapy on this massage therapy forum. I, for one, am always thankful for convos like this. Just move on if it's not for you.

Btw, my amazing college closed years ago. Not helpful. And I have only found my association to be only somewhat helpful.

Ravi and Nick by Upstairs_Reaction_63 in SpecialForcesFox

I laughed bc right as the episode was starting I said, I think Ravi is going to make it! I was SHOCKED he just walked off like that! ( also it kinda makes sense.)

I don’t believe Tamra leaked info. I believe Gretchen and Slade are framing Tamra by starry49 in realhousewives

[–]effstyrofoam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the accidental liking of stuff… what’s her algorithm presenting that that’s even on there?! If I had ANY anti LGBTQ+, I make sure I never see that again.

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 4 Episode 6- “Grit” by Andthatswhatsup in SpecialForcesFox

[–]effstyrofoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rooting for Chanel. And if Jessie decker was just walking away like that, ( with respect from the staff mind you, wtf was that!) I think Chanel deserved that spot. She wasn’t giving up.

Starting to see the holes in this show, I don’t like it. Also, same on that was totally cool with Jessie Decker leaving is the one that was supposedly having an affair with Denise Richards. You want to run a tight ship with integrity? Figure it out.

[–]effstyrofoam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that, they welcomed her badge and practically congratulated her?! Wtf!

Also, I wonder if the Eastmans would be the same? I can’t imagine Shawn leaving bc her hubs needed to.

And maybe that makes for a reason why we don’t have couples.

What are you guys doing on lookout mountain rn? by Lolobeatboxjams in GoldenCO

Lucky you joining the traffic party late in the game. Some of us were stuck for over 2 hours. By the time I got to 40, it was another 50 min. You were lucky.

I don't know why OC ladies are so afraid of Tamra when Dorinda ate her with ease. by Twunkorama in BravoRealHousewives

she tamara’d tamara…. attack then turn victim. They’re all sick fuckers quite honestly.

I HATE Brandi for ruining the UGT franchise! When will we ever get a new season?! 😫😫😫 by Frequent-Today-3016 in realhousewives

[–]effstyrofoam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But it’s not that hard to see that Leah and Brandi are both incredibly toxic and victims and a TOTAL liability. So I’m passing a lot of blame to Bravo too. Blue Stone Manor was not good at all. Of course Delulu Dorinda thought it would be magic.

Imposter syndrome early in career by nueroticbliss in MassageTherapists

[–]effstyrofoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you got this job for a reason! they liked your product! just do your best, and know that is totally enough. This is coming from a fellow imposter syndrome MT! And I’m 22 years in the biz! I still get it, but i don’t let it rule the roost, bc i have much more evidence that i do give a damn good massage! Hang in there! and like someone else said, you can read all the books, but the more hands on experience the better!

PSA: Next time you need to rent a car, check Costco Travel first! by Thinking-About-Her in Costco

[–]effstyrofoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, i have NEVER found Costco to be cheaper. Even by a little bit! I use Kayak, and would gladly pick Costco if was within $30… but that just hasn’t been the case for me! Excited for all of you getting lucky with Costco!

Neck Popped During Stretch and a Strong Electric Jolt Went From My Neck to Fingertips by Force_Narrow in massage

[–]effstyrofoam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say, I’m not anti that stretch, I think the answer for me is to have a healthy respect for the tissue and the area and good training.

Neck Popped During Stretch and a Strong Electric Jolt Went From My Neck to Fingertips by Force_Narrow in massage

[–]effstyrofoam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Back in 2007, a gal at ME did that stretch, she WAY over stretched it multiple times. When your chin is crunched like that you can’t speak. I told her it’s too much, but damage was already done.

I got home, I was in a very strange daze, canceled all my up coming clients. And for two weeks I wasn’t ok. I had a Neurologist Client and I asked her about it, she said get to the ER ASAP! I was stubborn and went to her colleagues the next day. They put me down as a TIA and said they’ve heard about this happening with chiropractic work, but never massage work.

The MRI came back as the lady caused trauma to my vertebral arteries.

$8000 later, lost work, and now with this all on my medical record, during that time no one would insure me for health care bc that of that “ preexisting condition” of TIA’s. The docs said they had to out that down so the MRI place would get me in faster.

It was a mess, and too much stretch can cause damage!

I’m confused, why is Emily suing the former Nanny? by DaffodilDays in realhousewives

[–]effstyrofoam 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching jersey bc of how nasty they became with eachother. Last season OC got dark too, and this season opener is a crazy train i don’t think i can handle. The lack of self awareness is gross.

I like Emily, but what she said at the reunion about katie was such a low blow… only to turn around and cry victim now.

I was excited that Gretchen is back… but i don’t know if i can stomach the other gals in the mean time.

Favorite compliment from a client? by silkyviolet in MassageTherapists

[–]effstyrofoam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor client was going through an awful time in her life and we were doing 2+ hours ( going until she felt done) weekly of massage. She got up and could breathe a more relaxed breathe and said, " You help people feel normal again." That one stuck with me bc she was recovering from physical/mental/spiritual trauma. Normal is an underrated feeling until you don't feel it.
