Administrator’s Note Gentlemen, Remember, attack the issue not the person. If you feel you are being personally attacked, report it. This is a very informative and important thread, please don’t take it off topic.

I agree with the reports by @skynycand @foxy. Yes, full house at Wednesday’s matinee. “Some Like it Hot” will attract the older audience. So, expect the Wednesday matinees to be full house. The very talented cast works their butts off in this production. I was exhausted watching some of those dance/singing numbers. The police chase number is very funny and involved the entire cast. The play is still in previews. I’ll be interested in reading what the critics think.

Update: I’ve now been to Healthy Spa 68. Each time I went I had a new masseur. Last week I had Tom, he’s no longer there and today I had Will, a young slim Asian who just started yesterday. He gave a very thorough massage not a lame body rub. I enjoyed the touch of his hands and hope to see him again. I like the Spa’s location. It’s across the street from the Manhasset train station and above the dry cleaners. Massage Is $60 for an hour. Since they only have 1 masseur, it’s best to call in advance to see if he’s working.

Some have asked me about former moderator @Daverwr. I was in contact with him. He wrote about a crippling condition he had and using his hands was almost impossible. I’ve sent recent emails but haven’t heard back.

The old Bliss Foot Spa in Manhasset has re-opened under a new name, Healthy 68 Spa. I called to ask if they had any masseurs as their ad only mentions women. I was told they had one but he doesn’t work on Saturdays. Has anyone tried this Spa? https://www.google.com/search?q=healthy+68+spa&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_ludocids:10420760128385314921,rc_q:healthy%2068%20spa,ru_gwp:0%2C7,ru_q:healthy%2068%20spa,trex_id:JbfITd&lpg=cid:CgIgAQ%3D%3D healthy 68 spa 278 Plandome Rd #2fl, Manhasset, NY 11030 (646) 926-6789 The old Bliss Spa had a couple of masseurs who used to advertise on Grindr. One young Asian was very good and moved to Prime after Bliss closed.

On Long Island when you get your 1st shot they give you an appointment for your 2nd. Is that not the same in NYC?

A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a bank account that pays you a higher interest rate in return for locking your money away for a certain period of time. And, yes, it’s FDIC insured. For the past few years, with interest rates so low, there wasn’t much interest in them. People who prefer maintaining a large savings account might choose a CD over a regular savings account. You can open a CD for different periods of time, ex 3 months up to 5 years. One of the recent changes my bank is now offering is the “no penalty” CD. It allows you to withdraw your principal + interest before the maturity date with no penalty. So, if CD rates go up, you can withdraw your money and open a new CD with a higher rate. If you were to open a $100,000. 18 month CD at a 2.75% interest rate, at maturity you’d have added $4,125 in interest. Yes, there are other safe & secure ways of investing your savings and getting higher rates. The CD is just one example. The feeling on CD rates is that they’ll be going up as the Federal Reserve increases their rates.

For those of you who keep a savings account, check out the new CD rates at Citibank. Effective 8/9-8/15. 1 year 2.50% 1 year no penalty for early withdrawal 1.50% 18 month 2.75%
