Sounds like you had an interesting day, it was a tax write-off AND you got free stuff to boot!

I wonder why you have to hide in a claustrophobic looking dryer vent hose thingy to have your Chi balanced? [or whatever is being done to the feet] Becky’s description above didn’t make it sound like she needed to hide.

Ok, just seeing the sign for the colon hydrotherapy made me a little queasy. I mean, I’m all for a clean colon and all, but isn’t that something you should do in private?

Ha! You’ve picked a topic I actually know something about! The set up under the colon cleansing sign is not a water snake machine. No funny pants required. The thing that the person’s feet are resting on is called a Chi Machine, and the things that are arched over them are some sort of UV thing, I think. You put your feet in the Chi Machine and it wobbles you back and forth. It’s supposed to, er, balance your Chi or something. I have one. I don’t know about my Chi, but it did help to loosen some of the tightness in my butt and lower back. I haven’t used it in months, because between my weight and the Fibromyalgia it’s very hard to find a place and position where I can do it comfortably. The floor’s too hard so that’s really painful. The machine is too low and has to be elevated or it causes a painful arch in my back. The best I ever worked out was to lay on my bed, with my aerobics step at my feet and the machine on top of the step. That’s why it’s living in the closet- too much hassle. But I think it did help a little bit when I remembered to use it.

Bit of a marketing blunder, having the lifeless remains of a previous snake-rider lying there as if waiting to be carted away.

HAAAAAA haaaaa! Love the colon cleansing machine!

P.S. – I’ll totally take that Ritters certificate off of your hands :) Not that I NEED it but let’s be honest, Ritters is good for the soul!

That Vitaeris 320 contraption looks like a big sunglasses case:-)
