No spanking for you today! You made me laugh and these days, that’s tough to do!
Love that you love your “fambly”!!!!
So you couldn’t handle the vegetarian thing, eh? Too bad for the cows and pigs and ducks and fish and crabs and shrimp and oysters and well, yeah, it sucks for them. But you did make me laugh just the same…
Thanks for playing along, and so quickly, too!
Tiggs
i might do this, even though you didnt tag me. not now, though, cuz my tylenol PM’s gonna kick in soon…
p.s. erin and dean and sxk have them, you need a Facebook too! srsly. erin and dean are now my friends, and she left me the most hilarious wall post and it was amazing. please? for me?
Ack! Homework!
Ok I’ll have this up for tomorrow Dr. Hoffman!! *scurries away looseleaf notebook flapping papers in her wake*
Glad to make you smile, Tiggs. And it didn’t even involve paddles.
Shaina, it was fun poking you last night. I’ve never poked anyone so young, so nubile . . .
Lyvvie, bring two sharpened #2 pencils to the final.
doug, you’re a dirty old man. but i poked you back anyways!
Mine is done!!!
Unless you actually like Shaitsu (i.e. you’ve experienced it and liked it) I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s just really hard intervertebral pressure. That’s it. I suppose you could argue that it numbs the spinal nerves in the area inducing relaxation, but I’d rather have a good fluff ‘n’ buff massage over shiatsu and it’ll do the same thing.
Shiatsu was the one seminar I hated in massage therapy school and I don’t use what I learned at all.

Oh and I always forget something…
Plus you have to do Shiatsu on the floor, kneeling, which is not comfortable.

Maybe I just lucked out, Michelle. In grad school, our program secretary was taking classes in shiatsu and she wanted a guinea pig. I let her at me, and it was one of the most relaxing massages I’ve ever had.
Fluff ‘n buff — is that even legal in California?
🙂
Screw legal, I want some!
mmmmm dim sum
I want some all the time, but that doesn’t mean I’m getting any.
We were talking about food, right?
Gah. This is what I get for being away from here for a while — I didn’t even know you tagged me.
Okay, I’ll take a stab at this today. I was debating on what to blog about, anyway, so I suppose I should thank you.
I think.
