Detoxing

Rosa decided it was time to detox.
(Personally I am busy re-toxing as quickly as possible with the use of red wine and cheese. )

So, it was off to the beauty parlour and off with the shoes and off with the socks.

She stuck her feet in a potfull of water which, I kid you not, turned dark brown and had DISGUSTING blobby white bits floating all around.

Our beauty clinician (sic) reliably informed us that the treatment had 'worked' because the toxins were all coming away.

After further pursuit of The Truth (no time for post-modernism in my Real Life, thank you very much) I was told the following, in no uncertain terms:

(And as Kate would say, 'best read in a South Yorkshire accent')

You know like you're all made up of ions? Well any way you are. You are made up
of positive and negative ions and these are like pluses and minuses. Well the
pluses and minuses are suposed to be all sorted out and not muddled up. You have like pluses down one side, and minuses down t'other. But if
you are stressed, or ill, or depressed, the pluses and minuses get right, like
messed up. Well by having Aqua detox, they go back in order again and that's how
it works; it gets rid of the toxins then. But this takes several
treatments to work properly. We recommend five.'

Hmm, right, so that's that then.

The wonder of Science


(Five treatments @ £15.00 each is £75.00 to you. Thank you very much Mrs.)

We are back again next Tuesday, with our fingers crossed. (That's a plus.)

Hey, Postmodernism is weakest when it takes on the scientific meta-narative. As Sokal wouldn't say: "Might work"

Anyway looking forward to retoxing with you Princepessa

(I am ignoring what TT said about retoxing as it sounds smutty. Don't undertsand the bit re postmodernism but TT may be getting confused with post menopause.

Hell yeah. Am upgraded to First for the flight from Chicago, and Sam is toxing to the max on all the lounge freebies. Personally am standing back with a quizzical expression as I understand this is merely a surface.
