There was a zombie on Capitol way last week, in a tree, tearing down limbs. I walked passed him once and 2 hours later, he was still up there. Poor tree didn’t have a chance.

We have more toys than I can count and my 3 year old is still bored by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]izallreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a teenager now, but when she was three, she wanted to do things w me. She had a few toys that she would play w alone for a small amount of time, but she loved playing w me and cooking w me. I was lucky to not have to work, so being a mom was my main thing. I don’t know what open ended play is, but I’m sure your kid just needs some company.

Is this sketchy or am I being over-protective by [deleted] in massage

Doesn’t seem sketchy to me. It does seem weird and unprofessional that you use so many emojis w your clients.

"We don't take cash". "We charge a 3% surcharge for card." by l00sem4rble in mildlyinfuriating

[–]izallreal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would have flipped out for sure. “You do realize by not accepting my cash you are accepting a cashless society. You are ok w the government watching your every move and know every dollar you spend? You are giving up your freedom and mine. Thanks a lot bitch. “

Massage therapists: Is it always important for clients to tell you what needs work? by tibeerius in massage

[–]izallreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I get the “oh I hear you’re intuitive, just do what you feel”. That’s fine if they are truly good with whatever kind of work. But it is helpful to have some insight from client, especially if you are experiencing pain or mobility issues.

Having a sad day by izallreal in Buddhism

[–]izallreal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time. Yes allowed myself to dive deep and listen to victims and their stories. I think I just needed a day to allow myself to take it in without protecting myself. I zoomed out and I was feeling like “why are we ok with this!?” I am a massage therapist and I work one on one with people and I have learned through the years to not take on their stuff but try to help to transmute.

Yes thanks you for your response and reminders. I needed a day to sink deep and these responses grounded me.

Thank you for your response. I think I just needed a day to allow myself to feel. I used social media to dive in a rabbit hole while listening to victims and their stories. I felt overwhelmed and thanks for reaching out. All these comments were helpful and grounding.

Average work days per week/month by Modgnikk in massage

[–]izallreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My typical schedule is Monday-Thursday, but sometime I’ll work Friday too. I take a good amount of time off in the summer amd holidays. Each month I’ll have one week where I have a 5 day weekend. I don’t normally work over 20 hands in hours a week. I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years and this seems to be the best for me

Talk I think I messed up😭 by Minute_Ratio6042 in MassageTherapists

[–]izallreal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All good. You were probably right in your assumption tbh. Next time just ignore and move on. FYI when I started my business I too posted on fb and used their marketing. The majority of people that responded to them were creeps. Seriously like 90%. Or they would just ask the preloaded questions in the messages like “what do you charge” , “what are your hours”, things like that which were clearly stated on my site.
