  1. Craigslist is a TERRIBLE idea.

  2. There are some massage therapy schools in the area that may be able to have students practice on you for less.

  3. Check with your insurance and/or doctor. If it's medically related they may be able to get you into a PT who also does massage.

Stand your ground is a tool used to protect those law enforcement choose to protect, and is ignored when it's someone they don't want to protect. Stand Your Ground has been a disaster and abused in every state it's implemented. All it does is lead to more deaths and more murderers getting away with it.

Lead pain is usually found in older urban construction, but didn't stop being used until 1978 so some older homes in Columbia may have it. That said, as long as it isn't chipping, it isn't a danger. I recently was updating home insurance (my home was built in the 60's) and had to repaint a few areas to eliminate the risk of chipping lead paint.

If you buy a house or rent a place built later than 1978 (most of Columbia, and most of Howard County) then there's zero concern.
