Do you have a shower head like ours? You know the ones that dribble out the water no mater what you do to fix it clean it soak it nothing works. Sometimes you just have to buck up and get a new one. With the internet readily available we are on the hunt for a commercial plumbing fixture that will really pump out the water. We want like a Gallon a Minute shower head. We want one of those fully loaded Cadillac of the Shower Head models. Give me the kind of pressure that will take off a layer of skin in the process of getting clean.
There is nothing like shopping online. You can find anything anytime and with so many of the site owners offering free shipping, there is even more reason to get everything you need online. Shower Buddy has what you are looking for and they offer free shipping in the US … ground shipping. It’s always nice to get something for free when you are getting what you need online.

Today will be Wicked Wednesday on the Coffee and Beer Show. They are going to do another show on BlogTV.com tonight to see if there is a similar reaction as the last show. On the last Coffee and Beer show hosted on Blog TV there where some ill favored reactions from the audience and cast members alike. The point of the show is to get people to wake up and see the day as it progresses. There where a few people on the chat session that seemed to be more interested in seeing naked people than actually listening to the show. That messed everything up in a very bad way. That will not happen again. There will be a questions and answers session on the Coffee and Beer show tonight and that is all. No other content and ignorance will not be tolerated. There will be booting tonight.

Spanish Class in our High School was the best class that I had. I’m sure all of the students would agree that took that class Senior year. Everyone who maintained a 84% GPA in the class and had the money to put in on the educational travel adventure, got to go to Spain for a week with the school. I was never very good in Spanish Class although I did try very hard.
Having the chance to see what the real culture of any language is real world educational experience. HemisphereTravel.com has a ton of information for schools to see how easy travel education can be and how affordable even large class trips can be. Being able to really show your students what the world has to offer and not just pictures in text book. That is education at it’s finest. I remember seeing the pictures of the White House in out text books and on slide shows at school, but not until I went to Washington DC and got to see that magnificent building in person did I really appreciate that bit of history.
I hope every school takes advantage of sites like Hemisphere Travel. Your students will thank you later in life when they realize how huge this tiny world can seem. Someday maybe we will see schools booking trips to the moon and Mars to get a hands on feel for space education. Who knows???

If you watch TV your eyes are going to fall out of your head. Just kidding. But you should stop by the DALE movie premiere on September 4th on CMT. Even if you are not a NASCAR fan you have heard of Dale Earnhardt. A great racer and a one of a kind driver of this time. Check out CMT.com for more information on the show. I think this is going to be one of those documentaries that will really hit home with everyone who watches. The movie is supposed to be a look into the life of Dale in and out of racing. #3 to win!!

Look no further .. or actually look further than you ever thought possible. Binoculars can help you to see the action on the track when you are at the big race and you have to sit in the 120th row. Leica binoculars are very portable and having a set handy when you are trying to spot a deer at 200 yards is a godsend. When you buy your next set of binoculars or if you are looking for a way to check out the stars at night .. check out the selection at BuyTelescopes.com. You can see even without binoculars or a high powered telescope that they have awesome prices and a huge selection.
We sit outside looking up into the sky trying to figure out what more is out there. With a good telescope you can see far into space and check out your own stars. I think we are in rotation to see Mars and Venus this year. Or maybe that was a couple years ago. But I am pretty sure that they are coming around again. Having a telescope to get closer to the stars and planets we may be able to see them this time. We saw what we thought was a shooting star last night … maybe it was aliens.

The baby is always listening to noise that is going on around him. Even when he is fast asleep he will wake up a little if he hears my voice. I can be way in another room of the house and he will hear me say something just loud enough to stir him a little into making noise back enough for me to know that he is listening and he hears my sound.
He is even more in tuned with his mom and brother. If he hears them talking even a little he perks up and stares in their direction. The cutest thing is when he smiles at you while you are talking to him. He will make little baby noises and squeeks till he gets your attention and make you talk back to him. Having a baby is the greatest joy ever. He is bringing so much into our lives with his little smiles and cute little hands and feet. We know his ears are tuned to us and he is always listening to what we are saying.

Winter is coming and the time is near to reserve somewhere to get crazy in the snow for winter vacation. If you are going to Lake Tahoe this year you are going to need a good map of Tahoe ski resort areas so that you can get the most out of the couple weeks of vacation. Winter Break in Tahoe is awesome. The snow is almost as good there as it is in the mountains in Colorado. We have vacationed at both places and since Tahoe is so much closer now it’s become our number one pick for winter break.
Check out Tahoe360.com and the interactive maps of the Tahoe and Reno area. You can find the weather reports ahead of time and even get to a great restaurant for dinner while you are there. Plan your whole trip ahead of time and even get your hotel booked ahead of time. Reservations make all the difference when you are vacationing. Don’t get left out in the cold because you didn’t plan ahead. See you guys on the slopes.

There was an episode of the Coffee and Beer Show last night on Blog TV. They had the most viewers on their show than I think has ever been achieved by any show on BlogTV. I could be wrong but the show had over 120 viewers for over an hour. That’s not too shabby.
Blog TV, if you don’t know what this is, it is an online TV type show for everyone and anyone with a camera and an internet connection. I have seen shows from the UK and all over the planet. The idea is to show of and say what you have to say and people can talk to you in a chat room by typing. This makes for some really cool conversations but also opens up the site for idiots to say less than desirable comments and make requests that are rude.
Blog TV is almost like a Yahoo Chat room without all the bots. There are MODs that go to the shows and make sure that there is no nudity and content that is prohibited. Understand that there are people watching you that can shut down your show in seconds if you are messing up. BUT who is to stop the idiots from talking their madness in the rooms? You can boot anyone that you want and block them from your show but at the same time who can keep up with all that chitter chatter.
So far I like Blog TV and will use them when I am ready to do a show .. but for now I don’t think that there is going to be another Coffee and Beer show on there for a while.
