I've had paraffin on my hands but not on my feet. It felt really good!

This sounds promising! I’m definitely looking forward to that bit of the pedicure.I've had paraffin on my hands but not on my feet. It felt really good!
I used to go to a mani pedi place that when they sat you under the heat things for your nails to dry, gave you a massage on your shoulders. I wasn't expecting it and don't like massages...yup, it's that strangers touching me thing...that I literally jumped off my seat. 'No, just no thanks.' She quickly got the message never to do that again.
I'm so envious of people that still have trains!This worked great the last time, so…
I’m on a train for the next couple of hours. If anyone wants to chat, PM please.
Don’t you have any trains there or just no passenger trains?I'm so envious of people that still have trains!
No passenger trains to speak of. Rail is just not taken seriously in the western US.Don’t you have any trains there or just no passenger trains?
Interesting. No train service between bigger cities either?No passenger trains to speak of. Rail is just not taken seriously in the western US.
Yes. And no. It depends on the city. Long term parking might be available. Or not. It varies. Where I live, there is one train a day that goes to Fort Worth, TX. It is not an express train, and makes many stops. Also, public transportation in the cities is hit or miss.Interesting. No train service between bigger cities either?
The train network is not the best here either, but pretty decent anyway. I definitely prefer taking a train over a bus or a car when I visit my parents. Well car is only an option if someone gives me a ride anyway, so rarely feasible.
In most of the US we don’t really have public transportation infrastructure. Our culture is built around cars and personal transportation vehicles. My area only recently built a very limited passenger train system that goes to like 6 different cities (lined up in a row) and takes the same amount of time to drive by car. They’ve only just started building apartments around the stations. The train is good for working commuters or novelty but isn’t the most useful for everyday needs. I think the biggest ridership was when it first opened and people literally just rode the train to check it out like a theme park ride (I did this ). I use the train occasionally to meet up in the downtown area but it’s only to avoid using my car and both of us driving separately home.Don’t you have any trains there or just no passenger trains?
I follow some people on Twitter (for reasons not at all related to this topic) who are very passionate about public transport, city development and the likes. The threads they comment or like have been an interesting rabbit hole to jump into sometimes.In most of the US we don’t really have public transportation infrastructure.

We’re hoping for a longer passenger train system to some of the major cities across the state but it’s hard to get people interested. It would mostly benefit tourists. I’d definitely take a train further if I knew I wouldn’t need a car when I got to my destination, but here we almost always need a car.
There’s a YouTube channel with some great explanations on infrastructure called Not Just Bikes. He really breaks down why people tend to not walk or ride bikes here in the US.
Train is slower than a car on many trips here, too, and weirdly the fastest service between where I live and where my parents live has gotten significantly slower over the past 10 years, which is so weird. I don’t know exactly what the gas prices used to be here but now it’s $8.9 a gallon (2.3 euros a liter) if I did the math right, which is kind of a lot for people who depend on cars for getting around.Alabama doesn't have any cities big enough to have their own train system.
We have one passenger train (Amtrak) that makes a pass through the state every day on its way to (I think) New Orleans from the East Coast and back. It passes through only three stops in the whole state and basically runs the length of I-20. I live on the eastern end of the line, and my best friend lives on the western end. It takes less time to just drive from point A to point B on I-20 than it takes to ride the train. It's cheaper, since gas is insanely expensive and I drive a very gas-inefficient truck, but slower. (We're talking approximately 100 miles here.)
My iso blurt for the day is that I'm thinking of becoming an in-person pro Domme. I already do it online, so maybe some in-person work would net me a little more cash?
Okay, so I went through with it. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. No one commented on my feet or toes in any negative manner and no one gave me a hard time because my general foot care is quite sporadic at best… I was really worried that would happen.LMK how it goes. I've never had one either. Ugh-ly toes!!!! Best not to be seen in public.
Likely will go again!
Me too! I’m really glad I went despite finding it scary and uncomfortable beforehand. The next time will be easier, I’m sure.Fabulous! So glad it was an enjoyable experience.

*Waves from over here*I just realized we live in the same state. Just moved down here last October.
Wanted to respond to the pro Domme comment - I know some women who have made a lot of money doing this. Lots of safety precautions - both in terms of having this kind of business out of your home (if that's where you'll do it) and having people around in your personal space. If you work out the logistics, there's definitely $$ to be made.
