Suspenders & a Mall Massage

I’ve already found that I like to wear my gaudy suspenders underneath my shirts. But, a problem with that is what to do when I go to the mall for a massage. I wouldn’t want the suspenders in the way for the masseuse, and I wouldn’t want to take off my shirt to get to my suspenders before the massage. Just thought of the solution (till now, I think ahead and wear a belt instead of my preferred suspenders) this morning. With the colder weather arriving today, I’m now thinking of wearing two shirts (previously I wear a long sleeved shirt & a short sleeved shirt on top of that. Well, I could wear the long sleeved shirt next to my skin, and then my suspenders, and then on top of that put the short sleeved shirt. That way when I get to the masseuse, I take off my upper shirt, and drop my suspenders, but leave the bottom shirt on. *My glasses and keys normally go into a little plastic bin that the masseuse puts beside the chair. I keep my money in my pants, and almost always don’t take my phone/wallet.

Oh, just noted this in the last few days after talking with the Humana representatives regarding a different Medicare plan (which it was decided would be best for me to stick with my current group plan)… there is a deductible for chiropractor visits. I think it said $20 but not sure if this is for a one hour visit or not. *Also there is a $500 a year allowance for hearing aids (which I need). I’m definitely going to explore the chiropractor & hearing aids. I spend $25 for a 20 minutes massage, or $35 for a 30 minutes massage (not including a small tip, which I may not always give any tip). If I could get a 30 minutes or hour massage and only have to pay $20 each time, hey once every week buddy!


I really do like these suspenders instead of trying to deal with a slipping belt. Once you understand them, they are easy to use, and they do their job. Just leave them on your pants if you plan to wear those pants again. Slip them off each shoulder and unfasten your pants. And easy to put the pants back on, and then place the straps back on each shoulder. No need to unfasten the suspenders from the pants.
