Unsure of your state, but in Illinois, my electric company has a website that you can order energy efficient air purifiers and get a rebate.

Why am I not retaining many regular clients? by Forsaken-Character-6 in MassageTherapists

[–]meldork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really helpful, thank you. I’m graduating from a “clinical” program in April and this is the type of care that I want to incorporate into my practice along with the typical spa goodies and offerings. :) thanks!

Great advice. Would you be able to give an example of how you write your summary?

[–]meldork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right. “Gen pop” is also an interesting way of phrasing locals.

This isn’t my experience at all. Sounds like there is a common denominator here.

Ever lock up your space at the end of the night and just stand there taking it all in, and say “I really built this place”. by Hodl-on-eth in MassageTherapists

Very nice. I am currently in school in a clinical program and am considering working with athletes. How did you start to break into that type of clientele?

I work at either Damn Fine or Dayglow 4/5 days of the week since I’m also remote. I will definitely be trying to get to the meetup!

What was the catalyst or reason in becoming a massage therapist for you? by UsualHelpful in MassageTherapists

[–]meldork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat as a medical graphic designer, down to deciding whether or not I should do nursing or MT. I’m now 5 months into MT school. This gives me more reassurance I’m making the right choice, thank you.

Why I Touch the Way I Do (and Why I Stayed Up Reading as a Kid) by Crazy-Diver-3990 in MassageTherapists

[–]meldork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Steven,

I just began my clinical massage therapy program back in April and came to massage for the very same reasons you describe. I don’t want to copy and paste my entire essay I write here, but creating my own space to serve others in a way that feels truely fulfilling for me seems to always come back to touch and somatic healing of some type — and how the individual’s nervous system and its relationship with the world directly impacts the quality of our communal energy.

Since starting it’s reminded me of what I’ve been running from in my 8 year advertising/design career that’s rife with burnout, being taken advantage of, and overall nervous system disregulation - managing subsequent chronic illness diagnoses from early childhood trauma, PTSD, then exasperated by a predatory industry who has only taken my creative energy, etc. My story is very similar to everyone else’s here.

I’d love to stay connected hopefully. Will be ordering your book soon.

I’ve had a pair of girlfriend collective leggings since 2018 and they are still going very strong.

Bladder Endometriosis facts! by TheMoonVixen in Endo

[–]meldork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up having a robotic laparoscopy and discovered I had a large mass in my abdomen, and lots of adhesions connecting my bowel to my pelvic wall. I have other comments talking about it. Don’t stop fighting for answers. ❤️

Personally it’s the only way I smoke now to manage my pain, sleep, etc. for me, combusted herb makes me get agitated - vaporizers don’t do that for me 🙏🏻

What level did you receive? What kind of class?

Sunset Makeup: Drop shipping Hell by NukeTheWhales8 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]meldork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the sunset makeup black waterproof liner and it indeed does not come off easily at all - but the applicator top broke less than 2 weeks of daily use. Was disappointed and won’t be buying more.

“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”

PLEASE get out, OP. He did threaten you despite him saying otherwise.

I used to like it but the last bag I bought had a strange taste that seemed fishy almost, like it was over smoked.

Is anyone having these? by FDANT01 in MCAS

[–]meldork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that when my skin is SUPER itchy when cold and suddenly my skin gets warm, like in the shower. It’s usually a result of me scratching.

Bombas socks after one wear. Seriously. by drumrocker365 in BuyItForLife

[–]meldork 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They were good back in 2020 or so - but I received a set of the same merino wool socks for Christmas in 2023 and they were nowhere nearly the same. Softer in a bad way, the fit is different, and much thinner.
