Googling “cuddle therapy” comes back with numerous results. Common prices are in the range of prices indicated in the above post by @MassageDrew for massage. A couple of results:

Grew up in a farm type environment and learned on old tractors about age 11. Remember one truck that had a 5 speed main with a 3 speed auxiliary transmission (both non-synchronized) and a 2 speed rear axle. 30 forward and 6 reverse gear possibilities. It could be a bit challenging.

Being a military history buff I enjoyed the movie and thought it was, overall, quite historically accurate. Acting and cimematography was quite good.
 
But I thought the way it was presented was unnecessarily “convoluted”. There were about 5 different stories going on with the “scene timing” going back and forth. One of the “stories” would progress and then you would find yourself “back in time” picking up the plot of another “story”. I was able to follow it - but it was confusing the way it was presented. But I have a simple mind that's easy to confuse.
 
Recommended.

Nearby local dealer service should be a high consideration. It could be a bitch to get an EV to a dealer beyond it nominal range.

You may be missing out on something.
 
Of the 27 reviews posted since the resurrection almost half (48pct) show no face or only a partial face.

Yes.
 
But patience, trust and flexibility in scheduling is important.
 
If you’re a regular, and developed a level of trust, your masseur might open to massage exchange. Maybe even teach you some techniques.
 
But keep it professional. Discuss parameters. You should still expect to pay for his time. After all he might have turned down other appointments to schedule with you. However, the extra time you spend working on him might be negotiable at a favorable rate. A 1.5hr session works well (about 50-60min for you and then 30-40min for him). It can help if you’re willing to be very flexible with your schedule.
 
Also, in Vegas it’s not uncommon to see massage exchange ads on Craigslist. Sometimes also posted under Strictly Platonic > M4M. Be suspicious. Following due diligence is imperative.

I don’t know about USC but it’s not uncommon for universities / colleges to offer “family discounts” if more than one student is attending. Certainly something to check into.

I enjoy mutual massage. Approach it by asking if he’s willing to allow himself to be a victim and provide real-time feedback to improve your amateur technique.

Update to previous posts:
 
Well, I did it - all the way. I completely cut the TV cable after a week of back and forth with my package provider.
 
I’m keeping my internet service. Turns out that was probably a good thing to say since the agent kindly “removed the cancellation fee for canceling my TV service since I was retaining internet service”. I didn’t change my internet speed which is currently about 12Mbps down and 1Mbps up. We’ll see if they try to screw with me there now that I dropped their TV service. Sounds like their infrastructure maxes out at around 20Mbps in my location if I want to upgrade. So I’ll check other providers when I have time.
 
So I have my thin little $40 HD antenna tacked to the wall above my TV and getting about 20 usable channels.
 
I now have incentive to dust off and learn more about the AppleTV and Sony PS3 that just have been collecting dust on the shelf. Maybe a Tivo so I can record? Maybe that KODI thingy mentioned by [uSER=10623]@MassageGuy[/uSER]? No rush for now though.
 
What I thought I would miss most is cable news and business. About a month ago I remembered I had an old Sirius satellite radio sitting in the closet for which I bought a lifetime subscription. I put a new antenna on it and it works just fine.
 
I will survive!

Thanks all - This thread was a catalyst to take some action.
 
My cable provider comes up for renewal in a couple of months.
 
I’ve had a TV in my bedroom for quite some time that was only hooked up to a DVD/VHS player. Didn’t use it very much. It’s a flat screen but not a “smart” TV. Only 1 HDMI input.
 
So I bought an antenna. Kind of following MassageGuy’s initial footsteps. Got the:
 
“AmazonBasics” (50mi amplified - $40) antenna and mounted it high on my vaulted ceiling wall facing the main batch of transmission towers that are about 25mi away. The antenna is “looking” through a tile roof. I get the primary networks channels in nice digital HD (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS). I also get a decent smattering of other channels. Overall quite satisfied for the investment. I’ll just play with for awhile.
 
I’m not ready to cut the cable yet to my primary TV. But I’m looking at that idea with a much more critical eye. Maybe a faster internet (25mb?) with a box (Apple, Roku, ??). Ideally the internet router could wirelessly stream to a “box(s)” that could be attached to 2-3 TV’s.
