Maybe I'm doing something wrong! I've learned that most people like to have their shoulders massaged if they know you at all. I don't try with strangers but even with friends I don't just grab them and start in. First I comment that it looks like they could use a shoulder rub. then I ask them to turn and when they do I start in. I have been given good marks for both hugs and shoulder/back rubs. Several people have suggested I take up massage as a profession.I'd rather leave it as a hobby.
Free shoulder rubs will be available in New Hampshire on the 18th. Come one, come all!
Sins, the bearded man was me! Check my picture in the resource page and you'll see.
