Full page ad in our local shoppers' weekly...

For "float therapy."

What exactly is a "LPC," anyway?

Same shoppers' weekly has an ad for a local "psychic" who claims 99% "accuracy."

also looks like equipment is a little better. a lot of bullshit in the promotion but the experience is kind of cool, if the water is clean and you have the $ I would say try it once. it can be nicely relaxing, might even be somewhat beneficial for some people.

Back in the 80s some neighbors set up a tank in an empty apt. there was a lot of drinking and weed involved.

for years. The ones I have used don't look like that - much more like a box (some say coffin) - and I have found it extremely therapeutic for sore muscles and relaxation. I like it better than a massage. It's dark (or some light, depending upon what you like) and quiet. For me, it's a great time out of the world.
