this may seem like crap but my mom was into reflexology when i was a kid. she got certified and worked on my feet when i felt bad. all i know is that when i had a plugged sinus, the corresponding area on the foot hurt like hell when she rubbed it. it felt like glass cutting me. and a little while later my sinuses would be fine. she did a lot for older relatives, they all swore by her, too.

After repeated successful experiments under controlled conditions I conclude that all my health problems can be solved by rubbing my tumescent organ.

It is more comforting to rub other body parts.

A food massage for your partner can lead to many other wonderful things.
 
2002-11-18 09:54:41 PM
uh... foot massage...not food.

Rubbing a woman's feet has gotten me laid more often than anything else I have ever done.
 
2002-11-18 09:56:59 PM
yeah...accu-pressure kind of...i'd love to have someone massage my feet and lose weight!

(new idea for the infomercial people)
 
2002-11-18 09:57:13 PM
Yeah, the amish thought that could save Edward Gingerich.
 
2002-11-18 09:57:16 PM
Wow, an email from KnoxNews that I didn't submit.
 
2002-11-18 09:58:03 PM
...for some reason, the mods felt you shouldn't see my comment warning people not to rub mr. wallace's wife's feet. doing so may result in a speech impediment.

Reflexology was the way ancient cultures in Egypt and China naturally healed ailments.

Wasn't the average life expectancy 35 years or so back in the day?

Does rubbing your feet kill kittens?
 
2002-11-18 09:58:44 PM
....and does it help in getting off of fark.com and get some sleep?

I've given a million ladies a million foot massages and they all meant somethin'. We act like they don't, but they do. That's what's so f@#kin' cool about 'em. This sensual thing's goin' on that nobody's talkin about, but you know it and she knows it, f@#kin' Marsellus knew it, and Antwan shoulda known farkin' better.

Sounds like something the biatch rachel travers would think up to me
 
2002-11-18 10:01:28 PM
And if that don;t do the trick, then we break out the leeches.

Nothing like a good bleeding to cure what ails you.

This report stinks.

Thank you, 'Vincent Vega'.
 
2002-11-18 10:02:58 PM
Yeah I supposed I forgot to close it with a Vega tag.
 
2002-11-18 10:05:27 PM
...there's a vega tag? sweet!

Walked on and often squeezed into one shoe after another without much forethought, "Our feet talk to us everyday; we just don't listen," Wagner said.

Wagner is often squeezed into one shoe after another without much forethought?!

For what it's worth:
If you get a headache you can pinch between your thumb and index finger (more towards you index finger) to help a headache go away. It works especially well on the hand opposite where your head hurts (pinch your right hand if the left-side of your head hurts). Go ahead and try it, if you pinch without a headache you can feel it in your head sorta behind your eyes. I said try it!!

Something is wrong with her toes.

She's got a sore eeewww!
 
2002-11-18 10:15:21 PM
Chappy(etc)'s right! Try it, folks!

One time I had a bad enough headache sitting in front of Photoshop for a 14 hour haul that I put a clothespin (the newfangled spring-levered kind, not the stupid old kind) on that exact spot!

Oh, and it worked.
 
2002-11-18 10:17:50 PM
reflexology?
 
2002-11-18 10:18:35 PM
Aren't these western pick-ups of homeopathy just for people too stupid to earn a MD but want the salary such a degree carries?
 
2002-11-18 10:18:48 PM
sunburn:

hehehe

I had an indepth massage a couple of years ago. carrying my stress in my shoulders. They used reflexology on me, and I could just hear my money going down the toilet.
It worked though.

Learned a long time ago a lesson that RAH told us in "Time Enough for Love" Putnam-1973, Reprinted by Ace Books:
"Rub her feet."

The massage or the wasting of your money?

It's something I learned when I was a boy, and it worked when I grew to a man. Learn it, love it, live it. He'll like it too.

Bah, these guys have got nothing on Alex Chiu.

Okay, I just tried this reflexology on my dog's feet, and he says he now feels great.
 
2002-11-18 10:25:21 PM
The massage. It wasn't a waste after all.
It was just a hard concept to go along with. They were poking and prodding my toes to see what may be ailing me inside as well.
I don't know squat about the practice, but I'd do it again.
 
2002-11-18 10:27:11 PM
Just go to the ER, say you are homeless, and let the hospital pick up the tab. They can't turn you away or you can sue them. No reflexologists there, though. Hospitals only employ real doctors.
 
2002-11-18 10:27:19 PM
I guess now wouldn't be a good time to admit I have a foot fetish (for women's feet)?
 
2002-11-18 10:27:58 PM
Hubie Heinlein is my only religion.
 
2002-11-18 10:30:45 PM
Did anyone notice the table to the right?

I sent them a fan mail:

"Could you possibly have written a more biased article? The idea that your trash succesfully masquerades as journalism disgusts me. It's going to take more than a foot massage to get the bad taste out of my mouth after reading your pathetic bile."

Still no cure for cancer.

Wait...


...


Nope..still no cure.

I don't know, Perisoft; the Knoxville Sentinel is a pretty big paper. I assume they could send their editors to beat you up.
 
2002-11-18 10:38:05 PM
Thats Malarkey!, everyone knows that the key to good health and good-bye depression is If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. it's the Effective Way!
 
2002-11-18 10:39:34 PM
RAH!!!! That is sooo gross~~~~harf harf haaaaarrrrrffff. A pox upon your house for posting that, you nasty bastard.
 
2002-11-18 10:40:28 PM
Perisoft--Have you tried a nice refreshing Sprite? I understand that they are quite nice...

Reflexology has been proven to be an effective therapy for constipation, exhaustion, carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica.

sciatica? - NSFW
 
2002-11-18 10:41:57 PM
You should see the corresponding organ!
