Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So my SIL sent my sister & me each a $200 gift certificate for a famous high-end local spa (the Claremont, for the Bay Area-istas). And after examining the price list, I have discovered that $200 will get me a long massage, and... that's about it. The day packages, with two treatments and a meal, start at $330 and go up. A 50-minute massage is $150 there.
Bzuh? it was really generous of her, but I wish she'd gone for one of the less prestigious spas, we'd get more for our money...
ETA: And yes, definitely a "my diamond shoes are too tight" problem, I am aware.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
FWIW, Consuela, the one time I got to luxuriate at the Clairmont Spa, the whole experience was more than just the massage. You aren't rushed in and out, you have full use of the sauna, and I don't remember what all else, but it felt like I got more than just an expensive massage. (Note, this was over 10 years ago...so...who knows what it is like now)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I've heard that the food at the Claremont is really good, if some of the g.c. can be used towards a fancy lunch.

'suela, the welsh cakes are sort of like scones, but griddled instead of baked. The ones I have are maple pecan and are delicious.
I'm so tired today, I can't even focus.

ita, could you use this picture of a young, buff Willy Mays shaving Provacateuse?
Teppy, I encourage you to check out Willy's hands in this picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So should I call him Yasiin on the website, or go with the name that has the most familiarity behind it?If you asked him, he'd say Yasiin, I say Mos Def or both.
Interview was rescheduled for Thursday.
Bah! But extra good luck then!

I am going to have to try out one of those Welsh cakes recipes. They look delicious.
Meanwhile car is at the dealership getting a new airbag installed or something. Recall. It's taking hours, but eh, what else were we going to do with the day?
As for that "aging badly" site, I can't even process singling out most of those folks, but esp Adele and the two teens.
Don't 14-16 year old girls want to look like they are in their 20s? At least some of the time. I know I did.
Perzactly. I looked about 12 when I was 16 and there wasn't really much I could do about it.

Cool, thanks Suzi & -t. I've texted my sister to see what she wants. I'm sort of tempted to spring for one of the packages, just to get the added luxury and the meal. It would be a bit expensive, but it's nice to treat oneself.
