Hygrometer-0n the wall clock
Went to a place by George Marshall in Tyson area, the lady with the first name of a former first lady was good. Massage was not worth the money. Standard NOVA treatment being it was my first time. But very open/positive attitude and energy. There were other providers I saw on way to from shower. Maybe I'll try another next time.
Shower door faced the entrance hallway which was kinda awkward. But the shower table, which was not actually your regular table was covered in tile. Was afraid of the cushioning slipping away from the slippery, clean, white, block table.
Tried to go to a couple of places last night
I just got home from a long trip last night and I wanted to unwind so I got in my car and headed to my ATF. The open sign in the window was turned off but there was a sign on the door that said open. I rang the doorbell and waited for a couple of minutes and no one came. I hate standing outside so I left.
I then went to a backup spot which has a much more discreet location and when I got there same deal. Lights off, and at this place the doorbell didn't even exist, it was broken off. Looks like it was shut down.
This was all around 9pm so I assume my first spot closed early since it was a Sunday. But I dunno. I don't post the names of places cause I'm new and would rather not. Just found it interesting.
Speaking of jackasses.............
JJ,
sometimes you have a good contribution to the forum, however at times like this and when you beat down people for over tipping that just burn my ass.
This situation in itself will die out if you leave it alone NO,NO JJ has to put his two cents in. What positive can possibly come from the comment I've quoted? All you're doing JJ is adding fuel to the fire!
You said you were done with the BULL now you're looking for any opportunity to throw a smart remark his way.
Now you tell me isn't that the definition of a jackass?
Now you can say what you will. I will not respond to your upcoming comment!

The purpose of the board -- info on a visit (not the best visit or the best report)

I had the afternoon free this rainy Tuesday. After running an errand, I found myself at a place near the NoVA beltway. I've enjoyed other visits much better than the one today. In fact. For the first time (ever), I got up and left early, because. Well, it was just not a great day at the spa.
Arrival: 5/10. It was cold. It was rainy. I called ahead. There was more of a delay answering the door than I was happy with. And we all dislike standing outside.
Greeting: 7/10 Bobby did not remember me (OK. Not so big a deal, she had only met me once). I was surprised MMS did not answer the door / greet me (she answered the phone when I called). We climbed the stairs to room 2 (across from the shower and sauna).
"30 minutes? " she asked. "No an hour" I replied and handed her the house. 8. She could see I had significant currency remaining which I placed under my glasses and keys.
TS. OK. This was the best part of this visit. But even though the shower was good, the water was almost cool and it was a cold day (score 8minus/10)
First really negative//bait and switch. For some reason not explained, Bobby decides one of the other ladies would give me my massage "I send in really nice girl" she said. // a few minutes later, Tina came in. Tina is a nice lady. Tina is spinner-slender, has long hair, and is over 50. For me her age was not really a problem, but I know it would have been a problem for many.
Massage: 6/10
I am unsure how long Tina has been in NoVA. In some ways the massage almost bordered on good. In other ways, it went beyond bored.
The touch for the back work was OK.
Even though I paid for an hour and only 40 minutes had passed, I got up and dressed when Tina left the room (not sure why she left). I took back my currency, but because I realized she had been put in the wrong situation by the staff, I left a standard gratuity. Others have been arguing about tipping lately. I left a tip because that was the nice thing to do for that lady. She was surprised to see I was up and almost dressed when she returned (I could see it in her face).
Departure: 6/10
Perhaps she thought I would be vocally unhappy or complain to the MMS. I've learned to not make a fuss – a comment to the MMS is ok, and there are other venues to try or patronize.
I don't think Tina was MMS's idea. MMS here has consistently been nice to me, and I have been consistently more than standard nice to the ladies at this location in the past. I might have said something to the MMS if I had seen her, but it would have been politely stated and nothing beyond I was not particularly happy with my visit today.
In hind-sight:
Perhaps the ladies are spooked by the recent activities involving our Uncle in those places farther out (and so, perhaps leaving my currency out was the wrong thing to do this trip?. I don't know). Overall – well below average – well below my expectations – score this a 4 since I left after 40 minutes.
NOTE TO BOBBY – since the spa was empty when I arrived and when I left, I felt "dissed" by your switch. I was carrying extra currency today beyond the normal gratuity standards because our last session was very enjoyable. I did not want more of anything – I was just going to say thank you with a little more than usual. Too bad you passed-me off.
NOTE TO TINA – thank you for the massage. Most likely MMS will assign someone else next time.
Always be nice to the ladies
