'Merica, with all its diversity

I have been (for longer than a couple of months) in Tampa, New Orleans, LA, they are different but all speak American English Tampa & New Orleans feel older, and out West does feel different.

The highway system is federal and those interstate roads all do look the same.

And all of the medium sized cities do have some road (here in Tampa it's Dale Mabry) that you could pretty much plop down into any other medium sized city, switch them without anybody noticing. Miles of strip malls. Impossible to cross safely on foot.

Miami is where I learned that I knew more Spanish than I thought, lol. But I'm in West Tampa - there's Spanish here and in LA, and Haitian Creole and of course in New Orleans my grandpa spoke French.

I think accents are less distinct now than they were, too. Miami is probably nice if you are loaded. LA is like that too.

Looks nice! Maybe a little orange zest microplaned on top would give you the orange you are after.

Does aquafaba work well for you? I like egg white in cocktails but then end up with yolks so usually I only use 'em when I have whites from using yolks to make something. Beans I love so more often have bean water, and I have a vegan kid who likes a fancy drink.

People who get "happy ending" massages, is there like a common keyword or process?

This is such an odd problem. Are massage therapists not licensed in your state? I haven't ever run into that - I am a lady and prefer a male massage therapist, and nobody has ever been any sort of unprofessional. Husband is a man, prefers a female massage therapist and same - he jokes about it but it doesn't happen with legit places. My brother in law and his wife go to a Korean bathhouse that looks sketchy but they say it's similarly very safe, professional and no sex stuff. Because they don't want to lose their state license. If massage is regulated in Florida I don't understand how it's not regulated everywhere.

I'd probably tell the manager on your way in that you want massage! Only massage, nothing extra.

Yeah I miss my sadistic masseur so much, I used to go to a guy who was like 6'5" and strong and gay - ideal combination - and the massages hurt but I would feel so much better after. I don't need it to feel good during the massage, what I want is to fix whatever is going on. I realize logically that the hard pressure is not necessary to release muscle tension and fix things, but it has been more effective for me personally. I want to feel better after the massage than I do during it.

Is allowing nudity the only stable solution to the eternal debate on rules about how people can dress?

I personally don't wear a bra except at work. Got so tired of the unnatural barbie doll look being enforced. Even at work I don't bother trying to pad so heavy there is no shape.

That too - padded look seems to be falling out of favor in the mainstream as well.

It's not a sexy thing for me, it's comfortable. I don't need the support so no bra feels best.
