Get a 4 pack of Todd the Axeman onboard...your inhibitions will be manageable. You will need a ride to and from your appointment though.

My AC went into the mid 40's today and it has NEVER been that low. Ambient temperature was mid 80's with near 100% humidity due to a recent storm and steam rising off pavement.

I wonder if another half a syringe would hurt? Does anyone know if that would be overload? My AC is definitely much better but still a little room for improvement. Am I pushing the envelope here?

As a LMT of 10+ years here in TX, I only work with Medical Massage of special needs folks. They are never Nekkid but, when I have gone to a retail/spa location I know that they suggest women remove their bra to work on their scapula/spinal region. However, no one is told they must 100% disrobe. They typically recommend down to your underwear for full spinal region work but, if your comfort level is not to that stage - so beit.
I have worked with clients in wheelchairs so getting them in minimal clothing is not truly an option so we found a "middle ground" as it were....

Your best bet is to consider wearing swim shorts as your "undies" as you work through your "hangups"..... That material is thin enough to allow them to work on you thighs & hips easily enough as compared to jeans which is like...... Well, trying to make a snowball with giant oven mitts.
Fair enough?

(Smirks) bread dough? Not unless your a Zen master. Typically dealing with sore or knotted muscle groups is comparable to trying to knead semi-frozen ground meat. It's stif to semi-stiff, very crunchy, and not something you try to turn into mashed potatoes on the first visit. That can do serious damage and very likely severely bruise the muscles.

Now, back to the refrigerant topic.

With our USPS being demolished by that dingbat how are you all planning to ship stuff over the next few months? I have been reading this thread and enjoying the fact based results along the way.

I am considering this as a fall/winter project for me as I currently have too much on my plate with my truck right now giving me electrical gremlins and Noone has so much as offered any suggestions on that thread that I started ~ a month ago now.

USPS is not being demolished. They are however a very poorly run business model and have been a shining example of how inefficient the government is - because unlike real businesses, they are not required to operate profitably.....

As far as your other thread, I might have missed it - but often threads that don’t get much attention are poorly written or folks don’t answer relevant questions that help us help them.

Nevermind. I found your thread in the ‘99-16 forum. I don’t go there, just this (‘99-03 7.3) forum. My guess is there is a fraction of the traffic on the other page... I’ll read through your post later and make suggestions when I have time to read all of that. Consider asking a moderator for help moving the thread over here.

Just like the DMV and county offices......

What? You mean there’s other forums here?
Seriously though, I strictly visit only this one as well.

I have no idea. I’ve sent an email to Errecom to ask.

I mean, we can throw invectives around about the USPS...and have the thread locked....or, we can have a civil discussion about the topic at hand.

I just heard from Errecom. They say a single dose is enough. More will not help.
