That's what mine was doing when it started making smoke. Smoke not being good for birdies I decided to quit while I was ahead. I'll buy another one next weekend...
Off topic, I am curious about the massage therapy organization in which you are a part of, as well as any progress you have made in starting your own practice.
One morning a month and a half or so ago, I woke up with a knowingness that I was supposed to pursue certification in massage therapy. I'd never thought about it before in my life and the knowingness was so intense that I took it as a direct nudge from the Universe.
I thought about going through the local community college where I currently live, but it just doesn't feel "right", so I sort of put it on the backburner. When I stumbled onto your profile the other day, my interest was reactivated and I feel guided to inquire for more information.
I've been an MT for ten years now. I had a full-time practice back in Ohio that I gave up to teach and eventually to move to Virginia, where I now manage a massage therapy educational program. Once my life settles a bit I'm hoping to add a small part-time practice, maybe a couple of appointments a week.
It took me about three years to go full-time, five years to be fully booked, and seven years to succumb to injury and FMS to the point where full-time practice wasn't an option any longer. (You're quite a bit younger than I, so that won't be an issue for you, I assume.)
Would it be complicated (or even possible) for a student to come from out of state and to receive enough student aid to make a substantial difference in amount of tuition? How much is tuition? How long does it take to complete the course?
Our program here is nine months; that currently seems to be the standard length of program.
The way most schools work, each department specializes. So I actually don't know what kind of financial aid is available, or how much tuition would be. Have you checked to see what local schools have to offer?
ETA I reread this and wondered if you were thinking about relocation as a part of your plan... At any rate, from what I gather, most students make manageable monthly payments while they're in school. They get Pell Grants and the rest gets made up with guaranteed loans.
Ours is out for the count too. Actually, the suck part works, so I can do the bare floors -- it's the power carpet attachment that's busted (smelled burnt, screamed, died).
When in Columbus we got this $300 vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters and all due to hubby's asthma, and it has lasted about 8 years so far...we have a hairy house due to all the pets so it sees hard use -- knock on wood...
The part turned out to be only $40, but is not an exact match...but it works. At this point I am just glad to be able to clean!

So, what do you want to know?
