So I got a massage tonight at a place that bills itself as thereputic.

I'm not sure what that means? Though I guess the only time I didn't tip on a massage was when I went to a place my doctor told me to go, and they also did physical therapy and stuff. I figured I wasn't supposed to tip, there. But I also never went back because I felt weird about the whole thing, and it wasn't actually covered by my insurance.

I AM excited because I found the mall north of me has one of those walk-in cheap chair massage places where they really go crazy on your back. Faboo!

Spent the day with my friend who just had a baby, talking about wedding plans. She's thinking about Eureka Springs (Matt, thinking about the Crescent for the reception) and check out this amazing, amazing chapel I had never heard of: [link]

It is seriously beautiful. She didn't want a church, wanted outside, but said that this changed her mind on it. I can see why. She's thinking October, which is beautiful in Arkansas.

I hope she goes with Eureka Springs. I love it, and it would be such a fun pretty wedding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not sure what that means?

Not a spa, I mean. More PT-ish.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Tipping for a massage is a new one on me. Massage around here is no way underpaid work.

You tip for everything in a spa. Hell, you should probably tip the lady who brings you the water with the lemon in it.

I always tips for massages at salon type places, but never at a PT type place. I would no more tip my doctor or the person who draws my blood. I figure if they are qualified to get a medically oriented job, they are salaried, and if my health insurance is involved, no way I am paying more than co-pay.

This might be unfair; they might be equally skilled, or what have you, but I don't really care.

Oh yeah, it would be totally clear-cut if there were insurance involved. I'm certainly not tipping my dentist!

My hygienist gives me paraffin hand treatments at my dentist!

What do you do then????

I don't tip. But it's very relaxing and helps me not think about gum scraping.
