Any one else notice that the emblem that poledanceinstructor.com is using is the same as Veenas??
I didn’t notice that but I just tried to view the site and it appears to be gone??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Same here. I get an "object moved to here" message.

Craigslist is free
See if you can hand out/put up fliers in your local grocery store and gyms.
See if you can get in touch with someone at local strip clubs. I know when I first went looking for classes around me that was one of the first places I contacted.
See if there are any local burlesque groups/hoop dancing places

I hate to defend Fedex but it is Christmas time and they are bombarded with shipments this time of year.

Since coconut oil is a solid below 70 degrees I use a small spatula to get a little out and then warm it between my ring fingers before applying to my eyes.
-
SO…now that I had to scrub all this off – and I do use eye make up remover – my eyes are a bit sore. What sort of eye make up remover do you recommend???
Coconut oil!!! It is all I use to remove eye makeup any more and a little bit goes a long way. You can even use it as a moisturizer. -
I am not much on the site but I have a subscription to the magazine:
Oxygen Magazine
I am also on a really geeky body building forum that is 98% guys.

I am a strong believer in neti pots, but if you are stuffed up they will not work.
As for sore throats/losing your voice, google horseradish and honey. I know it sounds disgusting but does not taste much different than sweet and sour sauce and really works.
I remember reading somewhere that you should not take anything that dries out your sinuses as that is your body’s natural response to getting rid of nasties in your system. Of course I cannot find that article when I need it. I also will take high doses of vitamin C (like 500-1000 every hour that I am awake). There is a website called The Vitamin C Foundation that has a lot of really good info on high dose C. On the cold and flu page there are links to studies and papers that have been performed on what they recommend.
Cold/Flu Cure #1: 8 g every 20 minutes
At first sign of cold or flu, begin taking at least 8 g (8000 mg) of vitamin C as ascorbic acid every twenty minutes for 3 to 4 hours until bowel tolerance, and then smaller dosages of 2-4 g every 4-6 hours for ten days to prevent recurrence.
The ‘trick’ is achieving almost I.V. blood serum levels by mouth as described in the Hickey/Roberts book ASCORBATE: The Science of Vitamin C. Begin protocol at the first sign of a runny nose, tickle in the throat, etc. If not caught at the beginning, the infection can’t be stopped, but you may lessen its severity and duration.
Note: Any other form of the vitamin, e.g. mineral ascorbates, will be half as effective for this purpose.
Note: Avoid sugars/simple carbs, which compete with the vitamin for cellular uptake during therapy.
Note: 8 grams equals sixteen – 500 mg pills, or eight – 1000 mg pills.
This recommended surefire dosage is 4 times Irwin Stones recommendation of 2 g every 20-30 minutes for the first two to three hours. If you have trouble with 8 g, you might try lowering to Stone’s dosage for the common cold.
If you place your faith in "medical science" (or those who cloak themselves in that term when they insist that vitamin C has no benefit against the common cold) you may be surpised just how easy it is to halt a viral infection at the onset.
Cold/Flu Cure #2: 3.1 g as nasal drops or spray
If you have a low bowel tolerance or stomach distress from oral vitamin C, you may experience great benefit from the nasal spray approach. (Let us know!)
At the onset of a cold, mix 3.1 grams (3100 mg or about 1 teaspoon sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid crystals) in 100 milliliters (ml) water or saline ( just enough to dissolve all the vitamin.)
dropper: Use dropper and place 20 drops in each nostril, or
nasal spray: place solution in clean, sterile nasal spray device and apply several fine sprays of the ascorbate solution in each nostril.
ascorbate soaked cotton balls: See this post in our forum for this alternate nasal approach for chronic sinusitis.
Repeat often, perhaps every 15 to 30 minutes for several hours, and then once per hour for 24 hours after all symptoms are gone (to prevent recurrences.) Take Irwin Stone’s 2 g dose orally.
The idea behind this technique comes from page 19 of Linus Pauling’s book HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER (1986 paperback).
"Braenden (1973) reports that administering vitamin C directly into the nasal passage increases the ascorbate concentration in the sinuses to 1000 times that which can be achieved orally. From this we surmise that, 3.1 g (3100 mg) times 1000 might mean that the spray or drops nasally is equivalent to 3 Million milligrams or "units" of Vitamin C orally!
UPDATE 09-22-2002 Feedback on Ascorbate Nasal Spray Interesting idea! Add MSM. UPDATE 06-07-2002
A Foundation member found the ascorbic acid spray a little irritating to the nostril, and made his own colloidal silver nasal spray – with excellent results!
As for the sudafed, if you are not buying it at the pharmacy itself and having to sign for it then it no longer contains pseudo-ephedrine.

I have used the multi piece pole and that is a great deal. The issue that englann is speaking of only is an issue with the Star Stand Alone stage pole and NOT the floor to ceiling pole. I have never had a pin fall out or pop out while in static mode. Again, this is an issue with the Star Stand Alone. As for it being slippery, yes, I have had issues with it but pretty much any finish is temperamental and you have to learn the conditions that make it work.
As for stainless, I think PS probably has the best stainless poles out there. Lil Mynx ones are typically the worst.
When looking at the pole:
1. Look at the ceiling dome and make sure it is not cracked
2. Make sure the pieces fit together properly. PS had a stint where the pieces would not completely fit together but that was a few years back
3. Make sure that when in static mode the pole does not have "play". There is a piece that fits into the bottom of the pole that can come loose giving the pole wiggle room. It is a fairly easy fix if you are crafty but you can ask for more money off the pole if this is the case.
4. Looks for deep scratches or dents -
Would not consider it. To me it sounds like the studio is too cheap for proper flooring or upkeep of the floor and it would make me wonder what else they are skimping on.
There was a studio in town (no longer in business) that did not allow fake nails. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I am not sure how old you are, but I can honestly say that I am "friends" with no one that I work with. I socialize while I am at work but do not go out with these people. Quite honestly there have been very few people that I have worked with over the years (I am 41) that I had what I would consider a friendship with.
But of course I have very few "real" friends. Most any more are through forums like this and maybe I get to see them once every few years. Even my good friends I only get to see once every few months.
I am also not talkative in new situations….get me around a bunch of people I have something in common with and it is a different story, but I cannot just small talk.
I know that nothing that I have said can help but maybe just hearing that there are others like you helps.
