It doesn’t look like it but the hollow piece should slide up. And there’s a little metal collar that slides up against the dome that it should clip on to. I know mine was stuck in one of the tubes. (Thank god I saved them.) It’s aluminum and super light. It should have the little button pins that the hollow tube clips on to.
Hope that helps!

That’s so funny. I was just thinking the same things about the polyvinyl exam gloves at the clinic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Personally I think that "friend" wasn’t. And the teacher. I would so ask for a refund if you paid for that class.
One thing I always tell people is, If you’re not happy with your docs, or you feel like you’re not getting anywhere, get a second (Or third or fourth) opinion.
It took me seven docs to figure out what was wrong with me. (I have Ehlers-Danlos, not going to go into it. If anyone’s curious http://www.ednf.org) It took over a year and terrified my mom, but once I knew what was wrong I could manage it. Remember you (and possibly your loved ones) are the only advocate for your health. Fight for it.
The other thing I tell people is, don’t let it get you down. for two reasons, if you let your health take over, then it wins. (My personal mindset.) And a lot of diseases/illnesses are sensitive to mood and stress level. When your mood is bad and depression is high that’s when they flare. Not that I don’t have my share of the doldrums, but I try to keep it at a minimum. I vent but try not to dewll on it. (Not easy I know.) Usually my EDS reminds me before it gets too bad.
I’m pulling for you, good luck and I hope things keep looking up for you!!

Either one might work. They both have citrus juice and oils in them. I’d say of the two Cynthia might be the better option over Daddy-o. It might even leave a little beer residue to work as a grip aid. I would think the sea salt and the seaweed in Daddy-o might leave a little more in the way of slippery residue, and sea salt is abrasive…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Might be worth some investigation.
Your store should have Dark Angels, look for the roll of squidgy black tarry looking stuff.

yay for everyone that loves Lush. I work there part-time and always get these weird "what’s that?" looks.
Wiccy is hands down the best for sore muscles. I also use diluted "I love Juicy" shampoo to clean my pole durning it’s monthly cleanings. It took the shipping grease off when I got it so I figured it would work great for build up and sludge. (I use rubbing alcohol the rest of the time.)
FreeTheSun have you tried Dark Angels? It’s like the bastard child of coalface and angels on bare skin.Also their sandstone soap is great for a pre poling shower to help with grip on days when our building’s ac is on arctic.

I like Kendra, but I’m not sure about her marketing a pole. I get where they’re goin gwith it as far as recognization factor but she probably would not have been my first choice.
I am intrigued about a floor mount pole. I’m not looking forward to having to borrow the building’s 10 foot ladder everytime I want to put my pole up or take it down. (I have very high ceilings.) But I just don’t know how that would work… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I think i need a stand mirror. We’re in a loft and really don’t have a lot of walls. Every space around the pole is taken. north, about 10 feet away, is hubby’s computer. (Perfect for veena’s lessons, I can watch from my pole and use the remote to rewind.) east, about 5 feet away, is the foot of our bed. West about 20 feet away is our window. (For some reason the patio across the courtyard fills up when I forget to close the curtains. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif ).
The only place I have for a mirror is the Support beam that’s about 8 feet south of the pole. I have a mirror on it but the pillar is only about 13 inches wide. so I only have enough space for one of those door mirrors from target. I can see the pole and my hands from the side, otherwise I have to be directly facing it.
I want to get some of those squiggly mirrors from IKEA, I can stack them all the way up the beam but I can’t figure out how to add width… so I’m gonna end up with a mirror 10 feet tall and a foot wide. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I’ve been keeping an eye out for one of those big freestanding mirrors but no luck yet.
Anybody have any ideas?

You picked your apartment because it has the perfect place for a pole. (But honey, I really like the loft…)
You chewed out the poor fedex customer service guy for 10 minutes because you missed your pole delivery and want to pick it up TONIGHT. Not three days from now. (I was in the shower, I mean really.) And I was late to work because of it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

I have to add to Hockey_Soldier’s post. Any surgeon worth his salt should have a portfolio of before and after pics. Once you find an accredited one make sure the look of his patients is the look you’re going for.
I personally am all for surgery. If you can afford it and you want to take the risk, why not? When i get to my goal weight and I still have my DD’s (I think according to the bra size chart my 42 DD’s will be 36 E’s by then) I’m getting a reduction. My sister had one and it’s made her verry happy. It would be so nice to be able to wear a sports bra or even a tank top without having to think structurally. (Or having a massive strapless bra.)
And also I wanted to point out that a tummy tuck may not be what you’re looking for. Panniculectomy is where they JUST remove the hanging fat and skin, they don’t touch the muscles like they do in a tummy tuck. The recovery time is much shorter and it’s a lot easier on your body. That might be something to think about.
check out this site, they have information about what questions you should ask a surgeon and how to find a qualified one. http://www.yourplasticsurgeryguide.com/
Good Luck!!

Awwww… Veena *tear* That was wonderful. And may I add: you are the pole goddess for being able to do all that one-armed!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If it’s not absestos and your really want to take it down, just spray the offending area with water until damp, let soak, spray again and scrape with a putty knife. It should take it all off, just make sure to lay down a drop cloth because the process is messy.
I hate popcorm ceilings and will take them down any chance I get.
If you want to patch it back up again they sell single use spray cans of the popcorn and plaster mix at any home improvement store.

I told my mom it was removable and she said, "That’s ok honey, just tell your stepdad that the building used to be a fire department."
I could not stop laughing. Good to know that I can get it down that quick in case of a Mother-in law emergency though.

I feel you, I’ve been trying to get a pole of my very own for 2 years. Everytime I get close something comes up.
Two weeks ago I had the money, had placed the order and had to cancel cause the stupid cat ate some lillies. Instead of a pole I got a $400 vet bill. Joke is when my pole finally arrives I’ll probably end up kicking the dumb cat in the head during a spin and have to make another emergency trip to the vet. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif (Fortunately a dumb cat is a tough cat and he’s fine after the lilly incident.)
Anyway, pole is finally ordered and on it’s way….. once they get them back in stock. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif Hopefully I will have my pole up by the end of the month. You’ll get it, I know you will. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

They’re nice and stable to dance on (and I’m no delicate flower, size 12/14 – 175 lbs.) if it can handle me doing a sundial then it’s not going anywhere. The only thing I didn’t like was the platform is metal and it was LOUD, I guess that’s more of a personal preference though.

day job: Dialysis Reuse Technician with DaVita/ Sales Associate at Lush Cosmetics
.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif OMG! I LOVE Lush! My hubby would kill me if he knew how much I spend on Lush! Any discounts?
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gifYup, that’s why it’s my part time job. SA’s get 50% off. (Says so in the hiring section of the website.) I think pretty much everything I make goes back into the store. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif But damn my skin looks good. And random strangers will follow me around just to smell me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
