I was of the "strangers touching me=weird" group before I'd actually had a professional massage (and a baby). Now it seems so much less weird. Most of my personal boundaries are gone (or at least tissue paper thin).
DH paid my $7 fine at the library and brought home Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. That thing is huge. I'm going to rack up some late fees finishing it.
And I got my temporary crown in today. After the permanent one gets in, I'm switching dentists. I just really dislike the woman and can't put my finger on the reason why.

Renewals. IJS.
Of course, I forget to renew upon occasion as well. It's so hard not to erase my fines when I know I
meant
to renew on time. Oh, what feelings of power, to have the ability to erase one's own fines. Oh, what agony, not feeling able to use (and abuse) that power.
I loves me a good massage. And I enjoy a good cuddle/hug from either sex. What I can't handle is when someone (usually a male) touches certain areas of my head, neck and back without permission. That's about the only time my personal bubble feels perforated and not just invaded. I can get downright violent when that happens. Be warned.
Cash, doesn't matter if there's a why or not. Health professionals of any type need to be folks you feel comfortable with and trust. If you don't feel that way with her, by all means, find a new dentist. I did that myself a few years ago. Although, it wasn't my dentist I didn't particularly like, it was the administrative staff that irritated the heck out of me. But when just calling for an appointment makes me grind my teeth, it means it time to change.
I find a massage helps with the occasional shoulder and back tension. Which means I get one about once or twice a year.
It's cheaper and more quickly effective than doctor's visit plus muscle relaxers.

Quick! Someone remind me that pulling away from all your friends because they're geting boyfriends/getting married/buying houses/having babies and hiding is a bad idea!
It's possible that I have issues a lifetime subscription.

Ailleann, that is a bad idea. Making out with me, however, would be a good idea.
Wow, I can so relate, Aileann!
WOOO!

P.S. Sorry Mama P-C.... I'm one of the women you warned your son about... evil grin
BTW, how's your shoulder?
It's okay. It was hurting this morning, but not so much anymore.
Tomorrow will be interesting, as I am flying home and will be toting carry-on luggage on and off BART as well as, you know, in the plane.
