Does intention (caring) really matter in massage?
I get the highest grades on evaluations and the most compliments/business card requests than the other students at Cortiva, yet I don't "care" like the other students do. Consequently, other students say "he's not a good massage therapist because he doesn't care," even though I can back up skill on paper better than anyone else.
So does intention REALLY matter? Or is it just something we're fed in school? Clients have never thought that I don't really care. Just a few students.

A college friend of mine died suddenly last week of a heart attack. He was a young guy too. I can't believe it. Tonight is his wake and I am sick on the stomach about the whole thing really. I didn't really know his family, but am torn whether I should go or not. I really don't want to see him laid out in a coffin when I remember him as being a happy-go -lucky guy and always fun to hang out with. Serious advice only please.

My lower legs and feet have been swelling badly, to the point where it feels as if they are being bruised from the inside out.
I am having severe shortness of breath.
The other night I woke up to find my left arm completely numb..and I could not close my hand. Also, my hand was ice cold. After a bit, it was as if blood came back into my arm and hand, like it had "gone to sleep", only more so.
I have been on lasex for fluid retention, and also breathing medication, but the problem keeps getting worse.
If anyone can give me some real advice, it would be much appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

Yesterday we had a heat advisory because the heat index was 101-105.I overheat very easily do to a medical condition.I work at a resturant that also does catering but when I started I was never told that I would be attending these events not to mention that most are outside durring the day.So yesterday I was scheduled to work off site for a catering event-no one ever told me it was an event outside.I show up for work dripping with sweat in a long sleeved shirt not wanting my psorisois ( I have it bad on my arms) to show thinking I would just have to deal with it for a while until we got to the event.So at this point I was finally told it was outside.I told one of the managers that was going that I had not been informed of this and that I overheat very easily,all he did is joke and say if you pass out your fired...At this point we were gathering evything needed for the event I was back in forth from the attic and out side trying to drink as much water as I could.We finally get to the

I've been with my bf since xmas of 2006. Its been almost 6 month now. He's lost 20 lbs and i've gained 10 lbs. He hasn't dieted and his appitite is still the same (and he eats a lot!) I'm really worried about him because people are saying he doesnt look to healthy. He's always been a bit chubby but for the first time in his life he's looking frail. I do know he works 15 hour shifts and since our relationship he's barely gets any sleep. He went from about 8 hours a day until about 4 to 5. Could it be the sleeping habits? Does lack of sleep cause you to lose weight? Or could it be something else?
