I've just returned from having a FANTABULOUS full body massage from fellow Wombat Cara. Ahhh, I needed that after 12 straight hours of Steno. I _LOVE_ massages. I _LOVE_ having my body touched and rubbed (this wasn't sexual ;-p) She's very good, she worked out all my kinks in my back and shoulders. But she's leaving town in two weeks! *cries* Must make more money for more massages....
