She returned to Memphis yesterday. I met up with LSM at her hotel, but had planned for only saying hello and snapping a few photos. Something came up and she persuaded me to stay longer. That bathing suit she was wearing hardly covered up her assets. I could carry it in my shirt pocket and still have room for my iphone, glasses and a fountain pen! You can see that I was glad to see her and what it was that came up.

[QUOTE=SinfulDreams;2398949]. . . Hope you guys at least get a steak.[/QUOTE]Hopefully the celebration includes some tube steak. That's my favorite.

[QUOTE=CurvyChristina;2397873]The person who said (until they get smacked yes it's a crime to do a massage without a license, I'll wait while you google it).

That actually completely FALSE, in OHIO, the States considers two standards of massage and also two types of license.

The state of Ohio DOES ALLOW someone to give what's defined as "therapeutic " massage, it's a non medical massage and provided for relaxation purposes only, you can actually get certified by mail, it sucks for people like me who owe a sht ton of school loans, but it is true I assure you. Anyone can provide a non medical, relaxation or even hot stone massage without being charged with a crime. Also! In a salon or parlor setting, only one person has to be licensed by a Columbus state testing, all the other workers are allowed to work on clients in a therapeutic massage so long as one of the people in the building employed are licensed, I still have all my text books I'll take a pic of the actual little paragraph to show you that in Ohio, you really are allowed to charge for and provide non medical massages, for medical massages like deep tissue, sports massage, pregnancy massage you have to be in a registered salon or parlor an be fully licensed not just certified. If you are working from home, you just have to be living in a zoning area that allows for home based businesses that accept the public, if it's not zoned for a home based public service you can still work from home an run your business through your home for like accounting an things where it's phone calls, computer contact ect, no public coming to your home though.

So it all depends what your claiming you are providing, a medical service or just a therapeutic service.[/QUOTE]A "relaxation" practitioner is still putting their hands on unclothed people and still manipulating soft tissue, which falls under the "Theraputic" massage laws in Ohio (4731-1-05 Scope of practice: massage therapy.

(A) Massage therapy is the treatment of disorders of the human body by the manipulation of soft tissue through the systematic external application of massage techniques including touch, stroking, friction, vibration, percussion, kneading, stretching, compression, and joint movements within the normal physiologic range of motion; and adjunctive thereto, the external application of water, heat, cold, topical preparations, and mechanical devices.).

You might want to reach out and thank Ohio's Massage Therapy Advisory Committee (MTAC) that had the law changed in 2012.

[QUOTE=FirstHalf;2399389]Quick question. I search and get results from a forum. But often I will click the link and the post doesn't seem to exist. Am I missing something?[/QUOTE]If you are talking about the "View Post" links they sometimes send you to the wrong page. If that is the case hit the back button and look at the date of the post in question. A lot of times I find, I have been sent a page ahead or a page behind where the actual post is located. In either case if you know the date of the post you can go forward or back until you find the date. Then you will find the post.

Hope that helps.

I am usually okay with computers, but I have not been able to run a successful search on this site.

I go to Advanced Search, put the provider's name as key word, tell it to look in Ohio / Cincinnati, but the search always comes up empty (even when I know there are posts with her name in them).

Can anyone lend a hand?

Like backpage, escort reviews, classified ads etc. That the search works just find and finds everything on the lady searched for in that particular forum.

I'm not a very observant person and just noticed the Blue Ribbon with the STARS next to our names.

- Is this new?

- What does the STAR RATING mean?

- How long have they been there with me not noticing them?

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I'm with you on this one. I just noticed it yesterday. I guess the stars would indicate the amount of feedback you have gave. I only have 1 star and you have 3. You have given way more feedback than me.
