No rub and tug jokes.
Got into this discussion with a few people and we were each adamant with opposing view points. The topic came up as someone was going for their first massage and was unsure of ettiquite.
Do you wear underwear during a massage by an RMT at a clinic ?

My view is it doesnt matter. If im in to get my glutes and legs worked on specifically ill take them off. If the focus is shoulders or back, I may leave them on. Otherwise i may leave them on or off.

Although I'm curious as to why you'd want to remove a signature.

I have found that plain isopropyl alcohol will get rid of Sharpee pen ink.

Goof-off is something readily available that will dissolve a lot of stuff, too.

You may take your underwear off to have a massage on your shoulders? Interesting.

Seriously though, I'd say that unless you're specifically going in for work on the nether region, I would keep mine on. Even when I had a few sessions for some groin issues I was having, I left them on and asked the therapist "do you need these off too?" They said it was up to me, but they could still manage either way.

It depends on the comfort of the individual, I suppose.

I always go buck during my massages.

Your butt is one of the bodies biggest muscles. No reason to wear underwear and get in the way of a good deep tissue massage.

Yes. But that's just my personal preference. Ex-wife was an RMT. They're taught to drape the blankets without exposing any private bits (part of a very extensive 'ethics' class they take), so it really doesn't matter if you do or don't. But depending on the massage or underwear, they may get in the way and have to be hiked up/off.

- A euphamism for another 4-letter F word.

Can I buy a Banff park pass on the way out of the park? (I'll be travelling through and won't need it, just want to get one for the season.

Alternatively, are they sold on the other side coming in from BC?

I'm not sure about the answer to your questions, but I do know that you can buy it at the visitor information centre on Banff Avenue. I don't believe that there is a way to buy one on your way out, aside from doing a combination of u-turns. The BC gate might have them, but I can't speak out of personal experience.

Personally, unless you're planning on returning within a week or two, I'd just buy it the next time you're there. It is good for a year, so if you're not going back for a month, there's no point wasting that first month.

Ok so I'm looking to get an ereader for my Grandma for Christmas. While I like to think I am tech savvy, I know next to nothing about ereaders.

The biggest thing is ease of use. She needs to be able to just turn it on find a book and read. Also, my Mom has already bought a bunch of books that she will probably just put on the ereader for my Grandma, so it can't be one of those that are locked down and you can only buy from their store type of ereaders.

Also, while an Ipad is a wonderful device for all ages and a great ereader to boot, it is in another stratosphere from my budget.

Thanks

I'm going Sunday and don't feel like getting it in the morning.

OK, I'm tired of moving stuff out of here into their own threads. From here on in, if anybody has a quick question- start a thread on it.
