Comfy Quilt Covers

I have had a few sleeping partners. No more than average. From that small sampling, I have discovered that some women prefer to sleep with something weighty and substantial draped over them. It's not even about being kept warm. It's some kind of primordial nesting instinct. Women also appreciate beautiful quilt covers. You could start with a richly colored damask duvet cover and match all your bedroom decor to create a room the revitalizes your aesthetic senses.

Time to Prepare For The Worst


I hate to say what I am about to say. I hope that my words contribute to those of others to create some kind of critical mass of concern that actually causes positive change.

I am worried that Britney Spears is going to die soon. It may be possible that the people who love her are paying to have somebody watch to make sure that doesn't happen. It's also possible that Britney could make a break, or pay someone else to run interference.

Innovative Tutors Teach Kids How To Learn

My kids are in their early teens. They have learned to read and write quite well. They could still benefit from innovative tutor at a place like Score Learning. Actually, kids that are 13-14 are just about to enter the school years that really count towards their future options. I have one kid who is not that keen on going the traditional route as far as post secondary education. I would be content with any decisions he makes as long as he learns how to learn.

Little Sister Don't You Do What Your Big Sister Done

I hope the report of another pregnant Spears is false. Sixteen is too young to start having children. The alternative is also something that has a longterm negative effect on a girl. Her family seems to have no shortage of denial, maybe Jamie Lynn was using denial or magical thinking as a form of birth control. Statistically speaking, these are the least effective form of birth control.

Britney is NOT OK

OK Magazine had a golden opportunity on the form of an exclusive interview and photo shoot with Britney Spears.

Britney made it impossible for them to make her look good. It is not a good sign that they have chosen to publicize the event for what it was rather than burning the tapes and the negatives and hoping to get another exclusive on a better day. I worry that they have concluded that there will be no better days for the former queen of pop.

They are going to publish the pictures which are rumored to be ghastly. She let her 'friends' do her hair and makeup and she had fried chicken smears on her dress.

PriceForSure.com has Live Web-TV



This is my re-creation of the World's first infommercial.

The video on this post is not what you will see on PriceForSure.com.

Their live webcasts feature great presenters like Chris Miller and Farmer D.

It doesn't matter what product or service is being sold, I am routinely drawn in by the immediacy and gravitas of a live presenter. When they are using knives, even more so.

Lindsay Lohan Worse Than Britney?

Well, we should look at this empirically.

Lindsay reached what may well be rock bottom at a much younger age. She had some help from her awful parents.

She has a fairly successful movie career, but movie careers aren't as durable as musical stardom. You can't release a best of compilation of your movies and you can't get any seven figure contratcs if nobody wants to work with you. People had been scrambling to help Britney put out an album even though she was hardle even marginally functional. It's pop music. Being realy famous trumps talent in a lot of cases.

Lindsay has one thing going for her over Britney, she is not rigidly in denial all the time.

Provincetown Live!

I like to pick Mayflowers for my mother in the spring when I can. I occasionally think about the ship of the same name that brought people to a new world and a new way of life hundreds of years ago. My mother is very keen on geneology and, if I am not mistaken she has traced one line back to the Mayflower. The bulk of my ancestors left England much later and settled in New England and Canada.

Provincetown is the landing place of the Mayflower. And it is a vibrant community today. Its past, present and future find a voice on the website ProvincetownLive.net.

Provincetown is a popular gay vacation destination. I personally did not know that until I went to ProvincetownLive.net. One of the bars has a revue or some such thing called The Bare Naked Lads. I once saw a drag king lip syncing the BNL. That was um, interesting. I'm not gay myself but I kind of enjoy going to areas that cater to the gay community because they tend to be accepting and open in a broader sense as well. If you on a road trip on the eastern seaboard, you can access all the dining, entertainment and accomodation info with your mobile phone at http://ptownlive.net.

I Vote For Dignity

Britney Spears should call her new album Dignity. That is one of the choices presented to her fans as part of a members only poll. I think I actually joined the fan club or the mailing list or something once. Whatever it was it must have been free, I think you have to pay to join the fan club.

Anyway, I think she should do a cover of the song Dignity by Bob Dylan. This performance is about seven minutes long. That's longer than most of Britney's recent lip sync sessions.

Ride The Rails in Europe

Do not make the assumption that the existence of the European Union translates to some kind of perfectly unified rail transportation system. If you are planning to experience Europe, you need to educate yourself with regards to how Rail Passes work. RailShopper.com is a good place to start. Depending on your plans, you may wish to purchase a selection of single country passes, or it might make more sense to buy a multiple country rail pass.

I have not traveled extensively in Europe, but I work with a Roman dude who has. His experiences with rail travel have generally been positive. There is a Eurorail Pass that is valid for a number of countries, check the following list of countries against your travel plans to see if it is the right pass for you.

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.


RailShopper.com is a great place to check pricing and schedules for European rali travel.

Britney Buys a Puppy, Outrage Ensues

I am always perplexed when people are vocally outraged by someone buying a puppy, but they don't make the same noise about people making babies.

I guess the biggest issue here is that when you buy a puppy from a pet store you are supporting an industry that inflicts cruelty on animals in the pursuit of profits. When you buy a dog from a registered kennel, the conditions under which they are kept is monitored by an outside body.

Personally, I wouldn't even trust Britney with a Tamagotchi.

This Guy has Your Hot Tub Covered

I had never really thought about the different extremes of weather to whic hot tubs get exposed. When I saw a photo on the front page of TheCoverGuy.com showing a Spa Cover with several inches of snow, I realized how important a good quality, heavy duty cover must be in some regions. The Cover Guy has three different classes of cover that can be custom built to fit your tub.

The store also has all kinds of accessories to help you maintain and enjoy your spa. When I am reviewing online stores, I always look for the cool stuff. What I found here were LED lights that you can use to create special lighting effects in your hot tub. They fit into the standard bulb housing and you can choose from 10 different colors and effects.

No Britney Spears Album Release

I predict that there will never be another Britney Spears album. Ever.

Somebody should really talk the girl into doing a boxed set while she still has the public's interest. How much material is there when you include albums, videos, concerts footage, television specials etc.

She needs to face up to the fact that the ride is over and work on being the best regular person that she can be. All the people who say good things about Kevin Federline need a reality check. He was on a ride of his own while he was married to Britney. I think he was completely complicit in her denial.

Drug Rehab is Awesome

An addiction treatment directory and referral service can help people who are in need of a drug rehab program for themselves or somebody that they love.

Rehabs.biz offers such a service and it also has current items related to Drug Rehab and Addiction Treatment News.

The failure of certain high profile drug rehab participants should not discourage people in need. Britney Spears fortifies her denial with the kind of friends that you can buy. Acceptance is one of the most important steps toward recovery.

Britney Has Reportedly Made Changes to Her Will

I think that a people around Britney need to be concerned for her safety. Reports that she is changing her will to prevent her mom from getting custody of her children and money from her estate are surfacing. I suspect it is an act of rebellious spite and that it has very little to do with the welfare of the children. Then again, if Britney's present state of mind can be attributed to her upbringing in any way, the kids might be better off in someone else's hands.

What really concerns me is that Britney is thinking a lot about the event of her death. That is a red flag that should have people worried about a possible suicide attempt/

Kevin Federline is Looking Out for His Kids

The agreement that was made between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline concerning ALL aspects of their marriage was apparently signed by Kevin after assurances from Britney related to her behavior.

Kevin Federline has indicated that, now that Britney is continuing to binge on nightlife and everything that it entails, he does not wish to abide by the terms of the agreement. Specifically, he wants to have more care and control over the two children. More specifically, he wants Britney to have LESS.

Math Tutoring From Score

I am generally fairly anonymous when I blog here. However I thought that this particular blog would be a good place to plead with parents to take an interest in the education of their children.

I have three young teens at home and this past school year I found it very hard to help them with their math homework. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent, but I could not figure out some new concepts.The math tutors at a Score Learning Center might come in really handy next year. My eldest son has been receiving math tutoring during the school year that just ended. I am keeping my fingers croessed along with him as we wait for the exam results in the mail.
