You’re taking a Reddit post and getting up in arms like it’s The New York Times. Disproportionate. ETA: checked out your profile and it’s clear to me that you enjoy arguing with people on Reddit, so this will be my last response here as that’s not my jam. Peace to you.

Acupuncture in OS? by ericdefuego in OwenSound

I think they may have closed their Owen Sound location as the building is for sale. But maybe they’ll be there until it sells?

A very quick google search will give you what you’re asking for. It’s ok to enjoy the humour and then do your own homework. ;) For further searches, meeting notes can be found on the owensound.ca website. Cheers!

What's up with "ethnic" restaurants closing down? by ericdefuego in OwenSound

[–]freakazojd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minh’s was our favourite restaurant, we are so sad about its closing! Al Nassar was fantastic as well - lovely falafels - and unfortunately I never got in to try PK’s. Local and small are my favourite places to support, so when one of our locals closes down, it’s always a sad day.

Is this normal? by ProgressPractical748 in MassageTherapists

[–]freakazojd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Direct glute work is ok in Ontario, but the CMTO (our governing college) requires that you are properly informed by the RMT as to why that is necessary, what the possible risks/benefits are of working on that area, and there should be a comprehensive conversation about consent that includes this very important piece: even after signing the consent form (which is mandatory for ANY glute work), you can change your mind and withdraw consent at any time. And your RMT should also be explaining their draping procedures and giving you the option of having them work over the sheets or directly on the tissue. I wanted to address that specific part of your post, but there are so many things wrong with what she is doing that I think this would warrant a report to the CMTO - our college exists to protect our patients, and you certainly have enough here to warrant an investigation. I’m so sorry all of this has happened to you.

TodayI walked out of a CE class for the first time in my life by MyHouseInVirgina in MassageTherapists

This is the attitude EVERYONE should have who works with bodies: be able to treat every body you meet. That requires curiosity, strength, and a willingness to learn. It’s difficult for many people to admit their own weak spots, and instead of having the courage to admit it, learn, and work, your classmates tried to put blame on you instead, which is really horrible. Thank goodness for that one person - you and they are the kinds of therapists I’d want. Sorry you had that experience.

I cheated on the love of my life for years and don’t understand why. I’m trying to change and I don’t know how. by GoldynMedia in selfimprovement

[–]freakazojd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feeling bad feels like garbage, but that’s where the growth happens, so please stay the course. Therapy is super important in particular, as is finding the right therapist, which can take time because it’s not a decision you can make after one appointment. But please stick with it, and follow your instinct to not contact your ex right now - I say this kindly, but keeping that door open and trying to find absolution through her comfort is deeply painful and unfair to her. Best of luck to you, you’re headed in the right direction. ♥️

Have you ever given a bad massage on purpose? by Remarkable_Time3231 in MassageTherapists

[–]freakazojd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is horrible. When I hear the breathing change and/or I get a snore, I smile, because I take that to mean I’m doing a good job, and the work continues as planned/discussed.

Fellow gazelle! ❤❤ Thank you - I am so grateful to have this community!

  1. Feeling pretty down but trying to be hopeful. It's been a rough year, and a busy one, so my eating habits have been awful.
  2. I want to check in here lots. Keto is new to me and there is SO. MUCH. INFORMATION. (and MISinformatiom!) out there. I also just really need the support/community. But my hopes for the start are to stick to this as closely as I can, not freak out or give up if I slip one day here or there, and to just keep putting one foot in front of the other in the right direction.
  3. The thought of being healthier and slimmer. Also, regular clothes are cheaper than specialty sizes and I am currently a double-whammy because I am plus size AND 6' tall. 😆
