Bedbugs often live in tiny seams and creases in mattresses, bed pads, etc., as well as in baseboards. I speak from experience--I ran a program for the homeless for a number of years. Showering and changing clothes are ineffective in ridding yourself of them or avoiding them. High heat is one way to zap them. We used to put clothing of affected persons into a hot dryer for about 30 mins. We also invested in a machine that superheated areas of the room. FrankR is right about luggage and backpacks. I check hotel bedding when I travel because even some very reputable places have had problems--all it takes is for bedbugs to ride in on one person's belongings.
Completely respect the fact that masseurs are people, too, so I word my messages respectfully. If a masseur requests more info I reply, except for sending a pic. At that point I will tell the masseur I'm in my 50s and indicate I'll have no problem if the masseur prefers not to meet.
I live in Chicago and have had some wonderful experiences. Although I have a couple faves, I'd like to mix in some variety. I've reached out to 5 different masseurs in the last week and got zero responses. I didn't come on strong, or goofy or weird--just said their ads made me interested and asked about availability by naming days (more than one for each masseur) and time ranges. Nada! Any ideas?
Yet another inspired thread, Moondance--how do you keep coming up with them?! Too many raves to enumerate from this list, except the hand placement/scrubbing action of 3 (also, that look) & 27, and the placement of that other part in 5.
I mentioned Vince because I enjoy his technique, enthusiasm and warmth. Yes, he isn't well hung, but WSmith asked about masseurs who are "nicely equipped," not "hung." I think Vince qualifies.
Diane Keaton in just about anything and everything
Woody Allen, smug, self-satisfied b******
Put the two together and I'll confess to anything just to stop seeing them.
