[QUOTE=Nicchaos1;4703711]Going to be in Raleigh tomorrow and haven't been to an AMP in a while I'm long overdue would love to see the list so I can find a good place.[/QUOTE]Go back to the Raleigh page. Scroll down to the User Blog section. Look in there for JJ's List. There have been some closings since the last update so you might want to phone ahead.
How many spas will go under as a result of the (inevitable) stay-in-place order? They have to be seeing some slowdown already.

They pull together through their network they are Mobil and are survivors. The ones that are in danger are the other stores in the same plaza these folks have car payments, rent, child care, mortgages etc. In other words they are rooted in the community. If they do close the spa they will bounce back when the sun comes back out.

If you knock on an AMP door there's a possibility someone will open the door. 2. I could be a total DICK and say finally some payback for Massage Envy and the rest shutting down the places the Massage Board actually supports. However I'm not as much of an asshole as the Massage Board members. I do show mercy for those Americans that are allowed to operate that now find themselves in trouble. I know they have bills to pay kids to feed, day care, rent to pay doctors to see elderly parents to help, you know Just like the Asians that they shit on. For the American Massage stores it is a situation that was unexpected and has put their future in a void. The Asians just want to come here and make as much money as they can just like us, So when the Asians got hit with racism, accusations and down right bullying this was no different than the surprise that the Corona Virus handed the Americans. They truly believed the bull shit that America was the land of opertunity so they got their unexpected surprise just a little early. Having no pay check and not knowing if the check will come back and not being able to support yourself or your family is very frightening, doesn't feel too good does it. I do have mercy for you Massage Envy and the others that go to that Massage Board Meeting every month in downtown Raleigh and trash the Asians (I've been to many of them) I prey your business comes back and you and your family survive. As far as the Asians they will dig deep into their peasant past, they are strong. Shouldn't be that way but it is what it is, racism is alive and well in 2020.

These are tough times and I'm afraid its only getting worse. The Massage Board is like a Massage Union and has put the squeeze on competition and has not been nice or fair to Asian massage parlors. Anything dirty is always about money and the Massage Board has to be dirty.
I have no problem calling the the virus the Wuhan Virus because that is where it started but to discriminated against Chinese or anybody is wrong. I do blame the Chinese government for silencing the doctors who raised the alarm and for silencing the Chinese journalists who was reporting the facts. I also blame the Chinese government for under reporting the statistics, threatening to stop exporting medical supplies and for making up stories that the US Army planted the virus in China. All BS and propaganda because the Chinese are too proud to admit of unclean living conditions and lack of health inspections at food sources for its people. The US should pull all our companies out of China and put Americans to work at home. The Chinese are stealing our intellectual property, undervaluing their currency and have unfair trade practices. Open markets are for allies who will help each other be more prosperous. China is not an ally and they only appear to play nice because they need time to catch up. Their goal is surpassing the US as a world power so they can dominant Asia and control the world's resources.
Anyone ever got more than just a tug from these 2? Can't stand Estelle's cat (literally) but last time I saw her she seemed real paranoid as I think she had just got in some trouble with the massage board which was a few years back. Please pm me if you have any good info to share.

Areas like North Korea or remote isolated areas in Africa and such could have (or had!) diseases that can go unchecked. This current virus just reinforces the point how we are globally connected economically. Can we just cut ties with them and pull back? I think it's too late for that because everything from food, technology, raw materials, education down to the kitchen sink is traded globally, we both profit. The big lesson this virus will teach us is we can be shut down, we are all connected now, and as you said when something breaks out you better talk quick, and we better be thinking about the next one. The ironic thing is it puts conventional wars in perspective, this happens when humans go into survival mode. If they strike out with vaccines and it gets worse and hopelessness sets in then we will approach rock bottom and true panic and economic meltdown will start to take place because no end is in sight and the grown ups in the room have no answers. We ain't there yet. I did see that satellite's are showing that pollution is clearing up on the planet and I'm sure the land fields are catching a break. Mother Earth is catching her breath. God bless the medical staff busting their ass and risking their health let's hope one of these vaccines take hold.

Still at least one rub shop providing service as of Monday night. It was my first visit to this location, and Sophia was super friendly. Opted for a quick 30 min session since I was already running late and she knew exactly what to do. I wouldn't mind trying to come back for more and see if anything else is on the menu besides the usual. Anyone got any advice on that for #57? PMs are fine.

I have been seeing an old regular lately that came back into town. The good news is she is still hot, tight and submissive & above average in the all of things we desire. The bad news is she came back with demons and not has a harmless handler. Why am I giving this one up? Her location is too close to people I know and the zone out stuff gets old. I'm looking for someone that gives a great massage with a nice ending and extras would be a plus that works out of there residence. I know allot of them went underground after BP went down and I don't keep number but I know some of you do so PM and let's trade!
