I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think you should all do a study on the efficacy of massages in preventing/treating neck cancer. Get massages every week for 7 years and see if you have neck cancer when you're done.

Getting a control group might be hard, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like the way you think, -t.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's too late for me! Massage yourselves!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would commit a small crime to get a free spa day. maybe a wee bit of the tax refund can go towards this.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

In a wierd convergence: There's an organization here that partnered with a women's spa to give cancer patients five free massages. I took advantage of that service after radiation and it was the best ever. I can highly recommend massage as a treatment for cancer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, christ, I need to schedule a massage too. That's going to be interesting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Maybe a massage would keep my neck muscles from tensing to the point that my skull actually pops off the top of my spinal column.

Worth a shot.

And the look on my masseuse's face if it doesn't work would still be pretty cool.

Not that I'd be able to enjoy it.

Regarding Kalshane's obscure holiday, St. Urho's Day, I have received celebratory e-mails from several Finnish colleagues today, so I now know how to say "Happy St. Urho's Day" in Finnish: "Hyvää Pyhän Urhon päivää!" They do like their umlauts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That, or the flourescent lights.

Frank understands.

After her surgery will we call her bon "no-neck" bon?
