How long should it take for a potential employer to call me back?
I applied to massage envy about 2 weeks ago. I had the verbal interview and then the practical 1 hour massage. While I was cleaning up after the massage one of the two people I interviewed with was showing a client around and he introduced me to the client as their new massage therapist. Before I left I was informed that no matter what I would receive a call back, and maybe I missed something because I was so nervous but two days after I called just to check and didn’t get a hold of the lady, I left a note with the person who took the call. I have since called 2 more times and had to leave messages because they couldn’t get a hold of the lady. I’m not sure how long it will take, what I shoud expect, if they are in the middle of a background but I am so nervous. I just know I’m going to get it but how much longer must I be without a job?
should i ask her out or ask for her number?
i met this thai girl at a massage place..she is around 20-21 and she works there..everyother week i go there..we end up talking for 15 minutes or so for the last 3 times…sometimes when i just look (stare) at her for few seconds (more than normal)..she makes full eye contact, tilts her head and smiles..do she like me?..i haven’t seen her or emailed her for 2 weeks..i am going to the massage place tomorrow and will see her…should i ask her out or ask for her number?
Need opinions on shower enclosure "spa" systems (steam, etc).?
I am redoing my master bathroom. It’s a very small master bathroom with a 48×48 corner shower enclosure.
I really don’t have much room to work with and will probably just keep the layout the same, with new pieces. I am considering one of those fancy shower enclosure spa/steam thingys . . . with all of the spray jets and steam and a tiny sit-down bath (largely for massages on legs/feet. Something like:
http://www.amazon.com/Shower-hydro-Massage-Steam-Sauna/dp/B001D3JAKY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_5
or
http://bluebath.com/main.php?prodid=DZ967F8
I think I’d really like something like this. I don’t see myself using the steam shower . . . but all of the jetted shower-heads might be kind of nice. I have two main concerns:
1) I’m mostly concerned that after a week, I’ll wish I just got a regular shower.
2) It looks like a bit of a monstrosity. I’d like to think I’d enjoy all of the jets and whatever else. But there’s a part of me that looks at these things and think they are a little cheesy. I’m not looking to sell my house, but I have to imagine that it might be a turn-off to some.
Any thoughts/opinions?

About Fish Oil Capsules
Fish oil capsules are a new health supplement phenomenon. TV ads promote them. Stores display them prominently. My brother takes them diligently since taking a health class. Do they provide a real health benefit or are they merely a fad?
The hype behind fish oil is Omega-3 fatty acids. We can’t live without them. There are three different Omega-3 fatty acids acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the two with the most benefit. They are also easiest for our body to use. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is poorly converted in our bodies to DHA and EPA.
“Pretty much everybody’s diet is deficient in omega-3s. That’s why adding them back seems to have so many health benefits, (WebMD.com)” says Dr, D. Leopold M.D., Director of Integrative Medicine at Scripps Center in San Diego. Increased intake may be especially important for people with certain diseases or risk factors.
Since the 1930’s, scientists have known that Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to normal growth and health. In the 1970’s researches studied the Greenland Inuit Tribe. This people group consumed large amounts of fat from seafood, yet had no heart disease. The high level of Omega-3 fatty acids, in their diet protected them from high triglycerides (blood fat) and reduced their heart rate, blood pressure, and atherosclerosis. Omega-3s also have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Omega-3s reduce the negative impact of another essential fatty acid,
Omega-6s, which make our blood sticky and cause inflammation. Our western diet is full of Omega-6s and lacks the Omega-3s. Unbalanced Omega-6s leads to blood clot formation and increased risk of heart attack. The proper diet ratio should be 4 parts Omega-3s to 1 part Omega-6s. The American diet tends to have a ratio of 1 part Omega-3s to 20 parts Omega-6s a really bad ratio. Research about Omega-3s is ongoing and looks to have many other possible but not yet proven health benefits.
Food sources of Omega-3s are more readily absorbed (90%) over fish oil capsules (50%). DHA and EPA are found in cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, tuna, and herring. They provide about 1gm of Omega-3s in 3.5 ounces of fish. Fish do not synthesize the Omega-3s they obtain them from algae and plankton in their diet. ALA is found in flaxseed, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and some leafy greens.
A good diet is the best source of Omega-3s but a supplement seems smart and safe for most Americans, to get the recommended dose. Fish oil capsules contain DHA and EPA. This is the best supplement. ALA supplements convert poorly to the needed DHA and EPA. Algae oil capsules contain only DHA.
Dosing of fish oil supplements is based on the amount of EPA and DHA, not the amount of fish oil. The general recommendation for adults is one gram of Omega-3s daily. Those with high triglycerides or heart disease need 2-4 grams daily based on physician recommendation. Dietary supplements like fish oil capsules are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is important to buy a variety that has verification by the International Fish Oil Standards. This agency ensures that the amount of Omega-3s in the supplement is accurate and that it is not contaminated with mercury, dioxin, or PCB.
Fish oil capsules are likely safe for most people; side effects may include belching, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, rash, and nosebleeds. Taking with meals on using a time release capsule can decrease these side effects.
The data seems convincing that Omega-3 fatty acids are important to our health and that many people have a diet deficiency in these essential nutrients. Although dietary sources are preferable, fish oil capsules are a good option for those that don’t eat enough Omega-3 rich foods.

Wanting to know some basic information about the AIR FORCE!?
I’ve already tried posting this question once..so i’ll try it again. My boyfriend is thinking about going into the Air Force. He has graduated with a bachelor’s in Micro and Cellular Biology and Psychology with a minor in Kineseology. He says that he can go into the Air Force as an Officer is that true? He’s wanting to become a Psychologist in the Air Force. What is his leave time like if he goes in as an Officer? What is his leave time like when he becomes a Psychologist? Can we get discounts on flights to fly home or fly our families to see us?
We are both in our 20′s and have been together for almost 4 years. We are planning on possibly getting married within the next year or so maybe sooner depending on the Military aspects. I am just wondering how Air Force Wives feel about the whole Military Life??? How is it raising children when you have to move several places? I’m worried that our children won’t have that "hometown" to fall back on where everyone knows everyone, like my boyfriend and I do having grown up in small towns of Illinois. Is it hard meeting new people? Are people nice to you?
I just want some information because he is Truly excited about this because he wants to serve his country because he said that there is no prouder accomplishment than it and because he wants to work with people who are dealing with PTSD.
Please let me know!!!!!!

Do Scalp Massages really stimulate new hair growth?
Do they?
I’ve heard that doing it daily will generate results within a couple months, but to me it sounds like bullsh*t.
And I’m asking if it generates "new" hair growth, not the effectiveness of growth of the hair that you already have.
