		<description>Oh wow you are a fantastic story teller. you should most definitely keep this up.

Wow why would an attorney also being doing massages. I think that part is a little odd.

And I like Babs think you are very brave to have done this in your home alone. Wow I am way too paranoid to try that.

I would love to go to a nice spa someday and have a massage. Oh it sounds so wonderful.

I will definitely keep coming back for more of your stories!!:-)

&lt;b&gt;thanks. storytelling is not my normal grind here, it's new to me, but it was fun, so we'll see.  i checked the 2009 lawyers diary and he's just not in there. i really didn't feel like going to his place, driving and getting all stressed out. i should have been a lot more afraid i guess - strangely i wasn't. thanks for stopping by.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Gosh, I laughed so hard. I've had plenty of massages. I don't allow them to do the scalp massage - messes hair AND leaves it super oily. Of course they can't touch the tummy. These days I often tell them that I prefer to do the entire massage lying on my tummy. When they ask me to turn over, I wake up and the magic is gone.

&lt;b&gt;that was my first professional. next time i'm going to wear a bonnet on my head and see him deal with that. LOL. and the stomach? rolling my eyes. how could he even ask!  so off limits.  yes, i wish i would have known. next time, i will not roll over, i'll will mumble, umm mmm and shake my head no. it was so over by then. LOL .&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>*LOL* Thanks for sharing. I heard those needle scratches in my head as I was reading. The massage story makes me glad I have a hubby to do such things, even if he's not a pro.

&lt;b&gt;i hear all kinds of sound effects no one knows about when they say something crazy. lol. yeah i kinda needed a pro, someone who knew what they were doing, not loving hands, for this job.  i did go two full weeks without any sciatic pain.  yay!&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>An attorney who gives massages on the side? Now this is starting to sound like Jonathan Field's "Career Renegade" :-)  Well, it sounds like your first massage went well ... except for the head massage part.

&lt;b&gt;yes an attorney. that's where the "hacking" music comes in for me. &lt;/b&gt;</description>

&lt;b&gt;nope. not a bestmate at all and i'm still working on finding out if he is an attorney or not. a part III? lol. no, part I and II were hard enough. lol &lt;/b&gt;

		<description>I remember wondering what to wear the first time I had body work. 

And I had a sore back and he asked me about my "stool" - I thought he was asking me about my bowels and started to tell him - but he meant my piano stool. Tres embarrassment.

&lt;b&gt; yeah i wasn't going to get too comfortable with taking off my clothes. not me. LOL, that's too funny. your stool. ROFL.  &lt;/b&gt;

		<description>I really enjoyed reading that.  I think that you were very brave to have a massage in your home, with nobody else in the house.  I wouldn't have dared :O)  

As JD said, there is definitely something lovely about having your hair pulled.  I used to love having tangles brushed out when I was younger and hated hairdressers that were too gentle ;O)

&lt;i&gt;thanks babs.  yeah, i'm not too smart (stubborn) sometimes, but i didn't think he would do anything and trusted my friend not to send a wacko to my house. there's only room for one, even if no one could find him listed as a registered attorney anywhere.   oh yes the hair pulling (sighs).  i'll have to have that taken care of uh, soon.  too gentle, makes me mad, right? &lt;/i&gt;

		<description>Good writing!  It was funny.  I kept wondering, this is Valerie, why doesn't she speak up?  Why is she afraid to be herself?  Why didn't she get a woman instead of a man?  I don't think I'd ever want a man to massage me, if it was ONLY massage.

&lt;b&gt;thanks Dot. afraid to be myself, nah. ah ha! i was wondering how come no one asked that question. i answered it in another version of this uh, story...because they (women) freak me out. the same way you feel about a man touching you is the same way i feel about a woman touching me. i'm sure another man wouldn't want another man giving him a massage. [shudders] i don't want a woman rubbing on me, doesn't seem natural.  i prefer male doctors, always have, it wasn't easy finding him...and the heavy hands were much appreciated.  oh no, it was ONLY a massage, i don't get down like that. see my halo. :) &lt;/b&gt;
