For the love of God can't we just make sex work legal, take the shame out of it, and STOP associating it with massage? PLEASE?!?

I've been a massage therapist for almost 20 years now and have got the point where the sex jokes hit with about the same impact as asking the cashier if something is free if the item doesn't scan at the register. I work in hospice, and not 3 weeks ago I had a patient's brother in law giggle and ask me if I gave his sister in law a happy ending. My inside voice said "no, sorry, she's still breathing so she has to keep dealing with you" while my outside voice pretended not to hear the comment.

It depends. Might be against hospital policy, but it also depends on the circumstances and staff that catch you.

Get caught vaping nicotine after surgery while on oxygen and an RN catches you? Problem.

Get caught vaping THC, not on oxygen on oncology/hospice? Depends on the staff whether they'll notice it or not.

Jeff Bridges taught me that red means stop, green means go, and yellow means go very fast. He was watching very closely.

No, it sounds right. There's matcha, but with the acid from the lemonade curdling the milk, it's used to clump shit together so that the drink can be filtered and clarified. I've never tried it, but I've seen the technique used a number of times.

Could be, but I'm going to guess alcohol marker.

Within the context of where he was when he stated that list, 100% it was just what he saw in the moment when looking for inspiration for 5 words. If you sat a child down in a room full of toys and asked them to name 5 things, they would probably name their 5 favorite, or most obvious toys in front of them.

Someone who was more with it would be able to put in the effort to pick random, less related words.

I feel you on that. Full disclosure - I've hit the point in my life where my kids are grown and self sustaining and I'm finally working a job that actually meets my needs. I wish you the absolute best in finding the right job for you and that hopefully life can suck at least a little less.

I'm also allergic, so I buy stupidly expensive cat food that reduces the enzyme in cats saliva that most people react to. I'm good to cuddle and pet my cat, as long as I can avoid scratches, I'm good.

"after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother."

I'm assuming this means this was the grandmother's house they were staying at?

I work in hospice and and it's not uncommon for a family member to have multiple cameras set up in an elderly loved ones house for safety reasons. Maybe she wants to remain independent, but is a fall risk. We've had patients refuse in home caregivers, but allow family to put in cameras to watch for falls.

Searched before I even scrolled, friend.

Don't worry. Unless your penis is prehensile, I doubt you'll get the proper angle and pressure to accomplish this assist.

That said, a good bidet is far more effective. 💩

These woke windmills are out of control! We didn't have storms like this when I was a kid before they started building those damned windmills!!!
