6 pointsAlso, please be sure to wash your hands when you arrive, if you are not hopping in the shower. You may have showered at home, but the route to get you to me has taken you through many public venues -- door handles, elevator buttons, even handling money or your keys.

5 pointsI can understand the sentiment that more testing = better policy, and that's true to a point. However, mandatory testing is actually counterproductive, and there's good evidence to suggest that it could actually make people engage in more risky behaviour, rather than the reverse. It comes down to something called the Peltzman Effect, a.k.a. Risk Compensation - whenever an external variable decreases risk, then people's own risky behaviour tends to increase as a result. Here's a simple narrative to illustrate this: A client walks into an incall, sees that the girl has her test results on display, and that her results say she's negative for HIV. He says, "Oh, you're clean and I'm clean, can we do BBFS?" He assumes that her negative test means there's no risk for him, so he chooses not to use a condom because he mistakenly believes that the test would have informed him if there was any risk. What he doesn't realize is that there's a 3-month incubation period during which HIV isn't detectable by any test, and he ignores the risk of other STIs - such as syphilis, for example - because he's not worried about contracting HIV. Here's another article I wrote about it, regarding Canada's HIV disclosure laws: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/nikki-thomas/hiv-status_b_1937993.html The stats actually show that sex workers are more aware of STIs than the general public, and we tend to have lower STI rates as well, simply because we take proper precautions. It seems like contradictory logic, but the very fact that clients are concerned about STI risk from sex workers means they're far more likely to take proper precautions to reduce that risk on their own. Mandatory testing is not a good means for preventing the spread of STIs, and the UN didn't make that determination lightly - the evidence is very much in favour of not forcing mandatory STI testing on sex workers, not just from a personal perspective, but a public health perspective as well.

5 pointsI know there's at least one lady who has a restriction on digits in part for hygiene issues. Some people's bits can be overly sensitive to germs or more prone to infection than average, and even though one would certainly hope/expect that folks have thoroughly washed their hands, a person could understandably be concerned. I imagine for others there's a point where they don't like having to risk telling someone they need to do a better job at trimming and/or cleaning their nails, so simply making it a restriction is easier.

4 pointsI've been with a lady that permitted digits with a condom on, guess you could term it CD (Covered Digits). Its a nice compromise. She's protected and you get to stimulate her that way. She also provided some guidance while "digiting", which is a total turn on to me. Nothing like pleasuring someone the way they like to be pleasured.

4 pointsDuo etiquette rules: 1. Choose providers who either have seen each other naked or can stomach seeing each other naked. 2. Choose providers of the same species or genus. For example, do not ask if a provider will work with a chia pet, velociraptor or plank of wood as a duo partner. 3. If you have a kink about clothing, make sure that one or both of the providers do not show up in the same outfit you are wearing. One of you is going to look better and the other will cry just a little bit. 4. Establish well before the encounter who gets to be Batman, who gets to be Robin and who gets to be Alfred the butler. You can't have two Batmans. That's an international convention. 5. Establish a bacon friendly environment. Everyone loves bacon and if they don't, they can't be part of the duo. 6. If you own an iguana and it is fed through an ingenious contraption that automatically dispenses food onto an an awaiting plate, make sure that both providers see and understand. Everyone needs to know about reptile dish function. (or was that erectile dysfunction??? Maybe I heard it wrong.) 7. Gifts are nice but be equal in the distribution. You can't give a bottle of champagne to one provider and a package of lime jello to the other. 8. Nobody is allowed to fart. That's against the rules. 9. If you are playing Risk as part of the encounter, always remember to establish in Australia and secure Siam. That's a guaranteed 3 extra guys every turn. Duo chicks dig Risk. 10. Margarine should never be used as part of a fantasy. Always use premium dairy products, not corn or other vegetable based substitutes. 11. There is no 11, please proceed to 12. 12. I was kidding about 11, there is no 12. 13. Skip the clown fetish. It's weird and will freak EVERYBODY out. 14. Lube and crazy glue should never be kept in the same drawer. Trust me on that. 15. If you are new to the duo game, please don't send pictures of your penis to either partner. You'll get penis cooties and be unable to perform. ... that's what I have so far.... but then again, I am tired.

3 pointsThe misconception that we must Hate men. That's an insane idea to me...I love men and I'm sure most if not all of us do.. Kisses to you all. :)
-
3 pointsI just have sensitive parts, so nails, hygiene, and force were all things I considered when placing the restriction I now have on digits.. While it can be fun, it can also be unsavory when someone doesn't trim their nails before our date or take the hints to be a bit more gentle :(
-
3 pointsMany men can be quite rough with digits. Forceful and deep digits can be painful, which is why some ladies prefer to just say 'no digits'.
-
3 pointsNoooooo thank you. Harsh chemicals do not go near my nethers. It is absolutely normal and natural to have darker pigmentation near the anus - much like the labia, testicles, and nipples can be a darker colour - and has nothing to do with cleanliness.

3 pointsEasy ... First One is LEGAL: Most people in Canada think prostitution in Canada is illegal. It is actually perfectly legal (if you follow the law correctly). It is not a "gray" area either... if done in private (not in a bawdy house IE. Regular place of prostitution) like a hotel room or out call to the guys house... with no public solicitation with someone over 18 and no one other then the lady herself is making money from the call... it's completely legal here in Canada. People need to stop watching American TV and thinking we follow some sort of American law! Second: Drugs. People assume that all ladies in this industry serious drug addicts and are in it to support drug habits. I have never met a serious drug addict who owns a computer - let along uses one. Third: STI/STD's Probably 100 times more safe with a pro who uses condoms as opposed to the girl you picked up drunk in the bar and "took a uncovered chance with!" most of the ladies practice safe sex as being sick with a sti/std is not good for business!! Fourth: Pimps and forced prostitution Steetwalkers and escorts are often grouped into the same group. Not the same! Fifth: Ladies taken advantage of. Often people think this is done against the ladies will or she is being taken advantage of...

2 pointsLadies and Gents, i am now making it official, the next Ottawa Social will be held on March 20th, 2014. There is room for 35 ladies and 35 gents. Tickets are now on sale for 35$. Entrance is free for the ladies. As per previous socials, ticket sales will cover a drink for the ladies, snacks (available to anyone) and some door prizes. The socials are never a success without all the attendees and, of course, our sponsors (ALO and CMJ, providers of gifts of the gents for the sat several socials), we also strive to integrate all your comments we receive on site or afterwards. We couldn't improve them without it! We'll do the same for this one in March, bearing in mind we also look to get the "best bang for the buck". Gents, you can pay in person or by email money transfer (you can contact me). Ladies, you can confirm your attendance simply by responding to this thread or by PM'ing me or Loneskater. Cheers!

2 pointsI agree with everything you've said except the fact that this problem is fabricated. I don't think it is. In saying that however, I don't feel there are the numbers of underage that she's stated in the article, but then again who really knows. I do also think this is another chance for the media and this woman to make this profession out to be a shameful and criminal one. A way to turn more against it. I just wish, when the seedy side of something is shown that the positive and respectful side is as well.

2 points12. Reheating refrigerated bread Bread should not be refrigerated - the chemical process that makes bread go stale occurs many times faster at refrigerator temperatures. Either keep bread at room temperature or freeze it.

2 pointsI remember one lady ( who has since left Ottawa) told me that she had disallowed digits after a client was too rough on her and left her off work for a week or so. Since then, I always remember to have my fingers filed and smoothed before the meetings. Washing the hands upon arrival is also a very good idea as Kathryn Bardot says above.

2 pointsThis statue, created by Bruno Catalano, is somewhere in France. Catalano is an international sculptor who has fun giving you only part of the picture. Le Palais Ideal, Hauterives, France (built in the 19th century by a Post Office worker, it took 30 years to build) Morning Glory clouds with associated upper wave system. Spectacular, rare, and awesomely powerful, theMorning Glory of the Gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia is a magnet for growing numbers of soaring pilots and scientists. Unique in all the world and shrouded in mystery, the Morning Glory arrives regularly each spring. GrÃmsvötn Volcano, south-east Iceland
-
2 pointsThose who restrict do so for their reasons and those are to be respected. I have allowed digits with some and have not with others. The hands must be very clean, with no cuts or nicks. You must be gentle and LISTEN. If I say stop, STOP, if I say no more, then NO MORE. Some just don't know how to be gentle and some just don't listen, for those, NO digits:( For the men who know how to touch a woman, digits are very erotic and hot especially when combined with oral;)
-
2 pointsUnderaged prostitution can't be overhyped enough. Until a person is mentally mature, she or he should not be participating in this hobby as a provider, nor a client for that matter. As for consenting adults, to borrow the pro-abortionists' line, "It's a woman's body to do with as she pleases".
-
2 pointsWell I for one really enjoy digits :) BUT your hands and fingernails must be top notch. IF you have scrapes or rough peeling skin, or super dirty fingernails-it just wont happen.
-
2 pointsOhhhh wait... there are more rules. 16. At no point should you say this: "Hey, I have a Great Dane and a fresh jar of peanut butter." 17. Rule # 16 still applies even though your fantasy involves cosplay as Shaggy, Daphne and Velma. 18. Safe words should always be in a language that is understood and pronounceable by all parties. Klingon and Romulan safe words are not to be used. 19. Screaming "BOOOOOOBIES" and running around giggling after you see boobies is not cool. So I have been told. A lot. Okay... I like boobies. A lot. With 4 naked boobies in the room, even though you are in heaven you must remain composed, cool and debonair. Even though you really really want to yell "BOOOOOOBIES" and run around and giggle. Stay cool. Remember there will be the same reaction when you see a double set bums and vajajays. 20. You can only utter, "RELEASE the KRAKEN!!!!" once during an encounter. Plan the use of the phrase wisely. 21. If hosting, please be mindful of the fact that duo play causes more physical exertion than single play. With that in mind, extra drinks and perhaps a second bacon dish should be available for mid-session refreshments. 22. Everyone should have the opportunity to wear the unicorn mask. 23. No, you should never wear the leopard print spandex pants. They're just not... um.... you. 24. You may be a talented ventriloquist, but nobody wants to hear your penis talk. 25. When engaging in small talk, avoid all controversial subjects at all costs. Remember, you are in the room with two women. If they disagree with you, you would be twice as wrong as before.If you're twice as wrong, you get twice less sex. If you get twice less sex, you have to masturbate twice and cry twice as loudly when you do. 26. Remember that you are an adult. Never, ever say, "Neener neener neener, I'm just giving HER my wiener." The non-wiener recipient may stab you. Not saying that it would happen, just saying that it COULD. 27. Ben Affleck has seen every single possible duo combination. Some rate him highly, some rate him poorly. Don't talk about Ben Affleck. It's safer that way. 28. Make sure that you go to the bathroom several times before your duo arrives. Girls spend a lot of time in the bathroom doing mysterious and magical things, as well as peeing. You are dealing with not just one mysterious, magical peeing woman but two. You may not be able to get back into the bathroom for several hours or days. Keep that in mind. 29. All persons involved, not just the service providers, including the client must be able to sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody. The test of a successful encounter is the ability to harmonize at all points with the late Freddy Mercury. I shouldn't have to do this, but to help in your encounter, here are the lyrics: "Bohemian Rhapsody" Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo. (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!) Never, never let you go Never let me go, oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. (Oh, yeah, oh yeah) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Anyway the wind blows. 30. Practice makes perfect. No the duo part, but the Queen part. Remember the appropriate amount of head banging at the guitar solo enhances everything. I'm sure there's more....

2 pointsSome men think that using force ( and not intentionally most of them time) without realizing that this is NOT pleasurable. And yes, it is painful so some SPs may stop offering it all together. I always let my guests in on a little secret to guide them... That less force actually provides better stimulation.
-
2 pointsFingernails can be an issue and our skin internally is very delicate. Also, if a lady is med-high volume it's more wear and tear on her if she needs to make her cookie last.

2 pointsLast time Lee Richards was in Ottawa, he challenged me to a game of poker. It was fairly even to start with; win some, lose some. But then... we get a really big hand. And I'm sure my luck's in. I'm totally going to win. And then this really hot girl in a short dress comes over and starts making out with me. Yeah, my luck's in... ...this pot's mine... ...it'll be paying for a lot of fun over the next few weeks... ...fuck. Well, Lee, I'd like you to know: I've finally worked out what happened. I'll get you next time... just you wait...

2 pointsWas about to start a new thread and found this one, thought I'd bump it For me personally, these are the misconceptions that get to me: People that think independent workers see clients for the entire duration of their posted hours. If an independent lady posts that she is available between 12-8, it doesn't mean she's seeing 8 one-hour clients. I know I could not possibly see that many clients, and wouldn't want to - I wouldn't have any time for ME. Most girls I know see a selected number of clients within that time frame - it's not a revolving door of men. We post the hours we're willing to see clients during, then go about our lives based upon the appointments we have booked. And in my personal life, I've found many guys who assume that I must be an easy lay, and sleep around personally, because I'm an escort. Which isn't the case.

1 pointI wrote a blog post today, outlining the case for no new laws, and detailing how existing provisions in the Criminal Code can already deal with the more harmful and negative circumstances associated with sex work. Please share widely, and feedback is appreciated. :) http://www.msnikkithomas.com/canadas-sex-work-laws-dont-break-what-we-worked-so-hard-to-fix/

1 pointThe expression "Girl next door" gets tossed around with some regularity. However it has been my experience that the 'girl next door' is often hideous and someone I wouldn't fuck with a stolen dick. Thankfully, when people refer to Kat as a 'girl next door' type, they are using the metaphorical label. Kat is beautiful, sexy, warm, funny, intelligent and kind. She is one of the few goddesses who walk among us. As is often the case, I have been kicking myself for not making contact sooner. As per my usual modus operandi, I had been watching Kathryn from a distance. Eventually my curiosity grew into the kind of obsession that must be satisfied or it will become a neurosis. Making contact was as easy as sending a PM, followed by more PM's, followed by a few text messages. After one false start, we set the date and time. Chemistry being the most unpredictable aspect of a relationship, I had booked only an hour. I regretted that decision minutes after finally meeting Kat. I should have booked a longer session. Full disclosure here: Kat has a rescued Boston Terrier. Really cute little guy. However he is insecure when it comes to male callers. The best approach is to ignore the dog (don't look, don't touch, don't interact) and focus on Kathryn. Easy enough advise to follow. When you meet Kathryn, you will understand. I was greeted at the door with a warm embrace and a kiss that promised more to come. Kat had just stepped out of the shower, her skin glowed, her hair smelled great and I wanted to devour her on the spot. But it was the end of the day and I needed to wash the office off of my skin so I reluctantly pulled myself away from to use her shower. I cleaned up as fast as I could. Time wasted is time lost. Once dry, I joined Kat in her boudoir. We chatted, sipped something cool and started making out like a couple of teenagers. I loved the way she kissed. And being as orally inclined as I am, this only peaked my ardour for the coming events. Kat wore a light fabric tank top/dress, well it functioned as a dress, over a matching bra and panty set. I wanted to tear off her coverings much like a kid will tear through gift wrapping. After all, under the circumstances, Kathryn's clothing was very much like gift wrapping. Eventually we moved from sitting and kissing to standing and kissing to the bed, where more kissing took place. When good looks combine with a good body and a good attitude the result is greater than the individual parts. I could not keep my eyes and hands off her. I tried to think of a point of comparison that would describe Kat's appeal without resorting to pictures. I put my finger on it this morning on the way into work. Kat closely resembles the actress Ali Larter. Blonde, curvy and sexy as hell. We spent the remainder of our time turning each other on. Kat is a great giver and receiver of carnal pleasures. Turns out that works just fine for me because I love to give and receive pleasure as well. I still wish I had booked a longer session. But eventually all good things must come to an end and it was time for me to leave. To put the profound impact Kathryn had on me into perspective I'll share one last anecdote. I was dressed, we said our good byes, I made promises of a rapid return engagement and left her apartment. I was three quarters down the hall way when I realized I had left without my winter overcoat or my car keys!! My promise of a rapid return was prophetic as I sheepishly knocked on her door to ask for the rest of my clothes. She had literally fucked me stupid and I loved it. Thank you Kathryn, for a great first play date. For those of you who have not had her pleasure, my advise to you is don't wait like I did. Book time with this goddess soon and often. You will not regret, for a single second, your decision to spend time with Kathryn Bardot.

1 pointI can tell you that those pics were used in an add on BP Halifax back in the fall. The number at the time was not a NS number so I gave it a hook. She was staying at a lower end Halifax motel.The girl was ok looking and service was ok but it wasn't the same girl as in the pics. I am not saying that this girl is fake or anything like that as I haven't seen her in Moncton. I am just saying those pics were used in Halifax and it wasn't the girl in the pics.

1 point1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. 2. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold! 3. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking. 4. Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking. 5. To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up. 6. For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting. 7. Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic. 8. Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm! 9. Reheat Pizza Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works. 10. Easy Deviled Eggs Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up. 11. Expanding Frosting When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving. 12. Reheating refrigerated bread To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster. 13. Newspaper weeds away Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers. 14. Broken Glass Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily. 15. No More Mosquitoes Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away. 16. Squirrel Away! To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it. 17. Flexible vacuum To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings. 18. Reducing Static Cling Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... guess what! ... static is gone. 19. Measuring Cups Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out. (Or spray the measuring cup or spoon with Pam before using) 20. Foggy Windshield? Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth! 21. Re-opening envelopes If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily. 22. Conditioner Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair. 23. Goodbye Fruit Flies To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever! 24. Get Rid of Ants Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed! 25. Dryer Filter Even if you are very diligent about cleaning the lint filter in your dryer it still may be causing you a problem. If you use dryer sheets a waxy build up could be accumulating on the filter causing your dryer to over heat. The solution to this is to clean your filter with with a toothbrush and hot soapy water every 6 months.

1 pointCongrats! :) January 17 will be 2 years smoke free for me, and I know for sure that I will never smoke again. I prepared mentally for several weeks and then just went completely cold turkey. For a while, I replaced the physical habit with a piece of fruit, which worked well, and was obviously a healthy tradeoff. Everyone has their own methods that they say for work for them, and if they actually do work, that is great.. everyone is different, and if it works, great! However, I am of the belief that all nicotine replacement therapies, prescription drugs, "cutting down" methods, e-cigarettes, etc just prolong the pain and madness more than necessary (or exactly as PassionVitto said, replacing one bad habit with another). Just end it. Be a non-smoker. Nicotine is physically out of your body within 72 hours; after that it's just the mental battle. I just constantly reminded myself that I was stronger than the addiction. One thing that really helped me was The Canadian Cancer Society's Smokers Helpline Online. There is lots of great info there, and it's all personalized and interactive. The best resource I found there was the online forum. It's like CERB, except for people quitting smoking. It tracks your progress in a variety of ways, and can be very motivational and helpful to talk to others in the same situation, share experiences, tips and ideas, push each other, etc. I also read a few books which I found helpful. Reading a few chapters everyday, early on in my quitting journey, kept me on track, and made me want to stay a non-smoker, and not have to start all over again (remember - 72 hours is key). Alan Carr - Easy Way to Stop Smoking Joel Spitzer - Never Take Another Puff I knew I would *feel* better physically after quitting, but what I didn't expect, and the best thing that happened, was the amazing feeling of freedom I felt. It was so good to know I wasn't tied down to the addiction anymore, and I didn't have to constantly find a place to smoke, go out in the cold, find a store to buy them, spend my hard earned money on this bullshit that was contributing to my early death, and be a slave to these disgusting multi-million dollar death corporations anymore.

1 pointOn the flip side, depending on the spa's policy if the session goes into overtime, the MA may be charged the extra time for the room. That is something to be aware of as well. A feel for timing is important for an attendant and comes with experience. If you had a great time perhaps it's just inexperience and best to take the positive from it. The timing takes some practice for a balance that should feel seamless in it's entirety.
