I went to a massage place (with the partner). We were greeted, shown around. The lady then takes us to a change area.
She then takes us back to the massage area. Tells us to disrobe and get on the tables (face down - she leaves before we disrobe).
About a minute later, music starts playing and the doors open again. Two people walk in and start putting warm towels and whatnot on us before beginning to massage.
We can’t see any of this because of the layout of the room.
At some point, the pat us down, cover us in new towels then walk out. Music stops.
Lady who greeted us walks back in.
It was the weirdest thing. I felt like I had the massage equivalent of a glory hole.
Pride is fickle. There’s a girl who comes to a muay thai class i attend, and she WAILS on leg kicks while we’re doing light drills. She’s a lifter, a police officer in training, and has a bit of a complex about being discriminated against as a woman. She has asked if she’s kicking too hard, the instructor asks if she’s kicking too hard, she’s totally kicking too hard for a light drill against an opponent who’d hardly defending.
I had a filling on a tooth without an injection to numb it once, I confess at the time I had a phobia of needles and flat out refused to have one. He explained it was going to be incredibly painful but yet I still refused.
He said “let me know if it hurts too much and we can stop and reconsider the injection”
Pride would not let me admit defeat so just cried on the inside and got through it. Always take the needle.
My dad isn’t a big fan of needles at the dentist. Not because of the needle but because he hates the numb mouth feeling you get after. He has had 4 teeth pulled out over the last few years all without any anaesthetic!! He always says to the dentist before hand “now we’re not going to hurt each other are we?!” Crazy old man, lol.
My dad hasn’t had teeth pulled, but his does the same thing with fillings.
I had a filling replaced a couple years ago and the injection site hurt for days. He worked for less than a minute to clear out the loose filling. I have one other filling that will probably need the same thing and I’m tempted to do it without the shot.
I have that effect on people, haha. With your level of experience, I imagine you won’t learn much from it so much as “remember” something you learned a while back. I know for me, a lot of it was rekindling some fires in the brain and making me remember that I don’t ALWAYS have to train like a lunatic. Stole some ideas for contest training too.
Last time I went to the dentist I had an old filling replaced with a new one and got two shots of numbing stuff because the first one didn’t seem to work at first.
Fast forward 30 minutes and I decide to get some food before an optician appointment about 30 minutes after that. With no feeling in my mouth I manage to bite through my lip and sandwich simultaneously completely oblivious to doing so.
Imagine the looks I got walking across the road and into the optician’s with dried blood down my chin and my lip hanging open.
Yeah… pretty much what your saying. Want to see if there is anything new that I can integrate into what I am doing that meshes with my own philosophy and approach. Im the type of guy that will buy books just to read how other guys approach stuff. Doesnt mean I will adopt it.
My three young kids tell me I am fat, old or fat and old all the time. My daughter was pretending to do magic spells yesterday and I said “don’t get me or I will go grey and wrinkly”. She just laughed and said “you already are dad”.
