Looking for a hotel that has a hot tub in the room, or a large jacuzzi. It is fine if it is in a tacky/theme roomed hotel.

Is there a spa that has pre-treatment relaxation facilities such as: sauna, steam room, hot tubs..ect?? I want this to be an all day thing but I don't just want us to be apart in treatment rooms..

There is also the St. Julien in Boulder:

There is also the spa at Gold Lakes out of Ward. You would have access to the outdoor private hot tubs. Those alone are worth the drive up there:

Is it possible to write off the cost of a SPA on your taxes?

sparkomega

Is there any circumstances where you are able to write off the cost of a SPA (Jacuzzi) from your taxes?

Answer
Hey,

If you are like me, you might not have been able to find the form or line number for ¨home improvement¨ in your 1040 package.

Maybe it is right there beside ¨screw driver¨ but I didn´t see it.

The most common circumstance under which the IRS will cordially greet your hot tub is with a note from your doctor prescibing same.

Unfortunately, it is a medical expense. Medical, on your schedule A, is subject to a reduction of the first 7.5% of your income. So unless you have alot of medical expenses, it won´t help you much.

If your business is incorporated, you might talk to your money guy to go through your corp.

I hope this is some help.

Good Luck.

I'm looking for a nice place to go camping for my honeymoon near Jacksonville, NC.?

hot tubs jacksonville image

Frank

We'd like somewhere secluded but with access to amenities. And maybe some fishing areas nearby.

Answer
Allegheny

The Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa is a 2,200-acre luxury hideaway located in Pennsylvaniaâs scenic Allegheny Mountain region. The 216-room resort surrounds eight natural mineral springs which serve as the foundation for its world-class Springs Eternal Spa â one of only a handful of spas in the U.S. to utilize natural spring water in all of its treatments. Over the past 200 years, Bedford Springs has served as a meeting place for numerous U.S. presidents and dignitaries. The resort features a phenomenal range of amenities and activities, including an indoor spring-fed swimming pool; award-winning golf course; and casual and fine dining options from renowned Chef David Noto.

KOA

Nestled just a short walk from the banks of the Neuse River, this quiet campground is the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat. Enjoy a day of fishing or watch a beautiful sunset from the 100-foot pier. The boat slips, ramp, kayaks and paddleboats welcome campers who yearn to get out on the water. A catch-and-release fish pond and a group-outings pavilion round out this haven for extended relaxation. Browse the many antique shops and boutiques in New Bern, North Carolina and step into the past when you visit Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens, historically regarded as the most beautiful public building in colonial America.

Falling Waters

At our campsite at Falling Waters Adventure Resort in Bryson City, N.C., eight yurts - insulated circular canvas tents - overlooked Fontana Lake and a pond. Each was furnished with a queen-size bed and a futon and equipped with electricity, a private deck and a skylight for stargazing. And then there was the hot tub a few yards from our yurt. After unloading our bags (mental note No. 2: Don't go camping with a silver Diane von Furstenberg suitcase whose wheels get stuck in the dirt), I climbed into the steaming water to soothe my aching limbs.

The Can't Find It Inn, Waynesville, North Carolina

So named because of its secluded location outside Waynesville, N.C., The Canât Find It Inn is right by the Great Smokey Mountains and the suites offer California king size beds, mini-fridges, hi-def flat-screen TVs, and a wet bar. But be warned, this location is for adults only. Get your mind out of the gutter! It just means no-kids-allowed.

Falling Waters seems like a pretty great choice.

Anyone using freecycle.org? Whats the best things you have gotten?

I am the owner of our local group, and was just wondering some of the things other people are getting out there, We have gotten a Hot Tub, a China Hutch, and I have seen cars, and lots of other things on there. Just wondering how others are doing on their local groups...........
I'm in Central Ohio

Answer
Yes, it is wonderful. I am in Jacksonville, Florida and I have gotten many useful things and have given away alot of stuff too. I have received: a canister vacuum, a carpet shampooer, a wooden 3 shelf video stand, plenty of clothes, cushions for my glider rocker, coupons, floor lamp, table lamp, and some household odd and ends. I have given away: electric grill, Elvis throw pillows, a flower girl dress, coupons, Metabolic Supplements, and books. I love it, but then again my motto is: "One man's trash is another man's treasure!"

Is the Beaverton Hillsdal area of Porltnad a good place for a young single person in his late 20s?

outdoor hot tub portland image

curouis

After visiting Portland a month ago I feel I want to move there. I found an apartment I like and can afford on Beaverton-Hills Dale near Olson. I woun't have a car. How is public bus service in this area?

My first choice was Nob Hill and the Pearl District. These areas are way out of my price range. The Hawthorn district is not my style.

Is the Beaverton Hillsdale(Raliegh Hills) a safe section of Portland? The apartment I like is a block from the Albertsons Market. I'm a 27 year old white male.
If I'm looking to meet other young people will I be unhappy in the Beaverton Hillsdale area?
Will other young people judge me poorly if I live in the Beaverton Hillsdale area? I'm moving from Southern California.

Answer
Buses run regularly on the Beaverton/Hillsdale highway. And
you wouldn't have to walk far to a bus stop. Buy an umbrella
tho, for rainy days in the fall and winter tho. The shopping
hub has Fred Meyers nearby, and an Irish pub and a few restaurants. It's amazing that you found an affordable apart-
ment in that location. I used to live on SW Dosch so I'm fam-
liar with the area.
If you take the bus further down into Beaverton, you will
find shopping and more restaurants (Mexican, Chinese,etc)
And the Beaverton Fred Meyers (one stop shopping with
food, clothes, pharmacy, etc)
The area is as safe as most really are these days. Get a
security lock for your front door and put sticks inside your
windows to brace the openings, if you feel safer. I never had
the need though. It's an old money area with alot of retirees,
and so you will probably have to go to a pub or public
places to hook up with those your own age. But maybe there
will be some in your apartment complex. You'll probably
run into many at Freddies, where alot of people shop for
their convenience. Albertsons, does have better produce
usually tho. I think that one, has a high amount of Jewish
customers for their Jewish food/deli area. I found it was
the only store I've ever been to that had that available.
The next main drag over, is Canyon Road, looking north.
And they have many restaurants, and car lots and apartments
off of Canyon. We lived in a very upscale apt. there at one
time. Probably the nicest we ever found in Portland. The
living room and dining area was huge, with a high beamed
ceiling. I can't remember the name of it right now tho. It was
great for entertaining. It had an outdoor pool, hot tub and exercise stuff inside. It was very close to a residential area.
But once you get settled, you can check further around your
living area to see what's available. Canyon does also have
buses running down and up. But driving does have its' ad-
vantages for convenience.
I hope you find the area to your liking. It is one of my more
favorite areas to live in. I felt safe living over there, and had
everything so close by. Good luck on your move!

How to do a deep clean on a used hot tub?

hot tubs 6 person image

Jason K

I recently purchased a used hot tub, it looks like the previous owner hasn't used it in a while or taken very good care of it. What should I do for my initial cleaning before using it? Should I fill it up with water, add a gallon of bleach or vinegar and run the jets and blower for half an hour then drain it? I want to make sure i clean out the plumbing well.

(6-7 person tub)

Answer
yep, and along or seperate cleansing some isoprohyl alcohol and maybe some hydrogen peroxide. and to really remove any smells - Dawn with the lime scent.

do i need any re-bar or other support for laying a concrete pad for a 7x7ft 6 person hot tub?

Geege

I'm planning on pouring a 7x7 concrete pad for a hot tub. I dont know exactly what type of concrete to buy and do i need to re-enforce the 4" of concrete any further. I'm planning on just digging into the ground 4 inches and then filling it up with the concrete. Dont care how it looks because the hot tub will be surrounded by a deck and you wont see the bottom.

Answer
My brother and I did this two years ago for his "tubby" in the California Sierra Nevada foothills

We went down to clay (3"), put down an inch of pea-gravel, put up a 2x4 pour frame, suspended wire mesh at half-depth, poured the concrete, screeded and finished the surface

That has lasted just fine for two icy and snowy winters with a FULL tubby. We plan to do the deck this winter, since we have had other projects sucking away money (barn and fencing, irrigation, and a swamp-cooler).

Good Luck !!

Cruise to atlaska ---?

outdoor hot tub vancouver image

Arianna

Im planning to go at the end of august... correct me if im wrong but wouldnt it be cold... all other cruises i went on were to tropical countries but more than 3/4 the time was spent out on the deck... 1/4 was spent sleeping in my cabin.. i guessing 4/4 the times going to be spent inside? doing what, except sleeping... =\
hahaha thanks im actually going down there with my bf... it just doesnt seem appealing but if its warm then by all means... seeing some of the pictures on the internet with people with their winter coats while on the deck dosnt seem appealing at all.

Answer
Yes, you ARE wrong, it is NOT cold in Alaska in August. I have been to Alaska twice, once on business for two weeks and then on a cruise tour. The daily temperatures when I was in Anchorage for 2 weeks was in the mid 70's every day. Remember at that time of year Alaska has about 20 hours of sun every day. People in Anchorage and Fairbanks were walking around in shorts and "T" shirts.

During the cruise from Vancouver north it was chilly on deck in some places when there was a lot of ocean breeze. Most people had a light jacket, hoodie, or sweater for that. At night you are almost always inside a temperature controlled environment, from the dining room, casino, show room, disco, lounges, etc, its NOT cold. In addition, most ships that do an Alaska itinerary have a solarium, a covered pool and hot tub area, in addition to the regular outdoor pool. So you can use both almost any time. The ship will also have gym and maybe also steam and sauna rooms.

You Can expect it to be rainy in a couple places, Juneau and Ketchkan, but not cold. The places where it WILL BE cold and where you will see people with coats, jackets, hats and gloves on, is near the glaciers. Our cruise went to College Fjord where there are about 6 glacier and it was cold all of the time while we were there. We also visited another glacier and it was cold there also. BUT, when you are at those locations you do not have to go outside on deck to see. There will be plenty of places inside where you can sit or stand to see outside.

So no, it will not be cold except in those few locations.

Planning Honeymoon for Banff National Park in Canada end of October 2010?

Cindy

My fiance and I are trying to plan our honeymoon for end of October 2010 and my parents are saying Banff is going to be to snowey, and to cold and this that and the other thing and I on the other hand think it's amazing. His parents seem to think it's also a good idea.

please answer the following best you can...

1. have you been to Banff National Park before?
2. have you been to Banff in October-November before?
3. Is it snowey end of Oct, blizzardy, bad snow storms at all?
4. what is the weather like in October for Alberta Canada?
I highly resent the 3rd comment... MOVE MY DATE.. yea that sounds like a smart idea.. CHANGE MY VENU, FLOWERS, CAKE, RENTALS, TABLES, LINNENS, CENTERPIECES, RESEND MY SAVE THE DATES... no flipping way are we CHANGING THE DATE... that would cost a whole $5,000 in breaking contract fee's, and another $3000 in re-booking everything and we picked OCTOBER because we DIDN'T WANT OUR WEDDING IN SEPTEMBER... so that would be about 72 thumbs DOWN for you... thank you to the other two replies that were actually helpful.

Answer
Yes, I've been to Banff, not as late as November but have frozen my a** off camping around there in late September. It could easily snow in late October/early November and it could also rain or be nice, all three on the same day maybe. It could be warmish in the day and cold at night. Mountain weather is variable. Fall in Alberta can be lovely, but it snowed around Calgary early last October, enough to be a problem for traffic. I was there a week or so later and the snow was melted by then. But if you guys don't mind some chilly weather along with the great scenery, I say do it. Being out in the cold for a while and then coming inside to a nice fire or hot tub and a glass of wine sounds like a great thing to do on a honeymoon.

How do outdoor hot tubs work?

outdoor wire for hot tub image

Like how do they bubble, were is the electric? Confused lol.

Answer
You have to have an electrician come and wire it up for you. Other than that most hottubs are compatible indoors or outdoors. They work exactly the same as an indoor one.

One prong on a three-prong plug overheated and the outlet is ruined. What could cause this?

Houyhnhnm

Outdoor outlet, 110 volts, 20 amps. The circuit is dedicated to a small hot tub. It draws 1500 watts intermittently for the heater and a few watts continually for the circulating pump. Outlet is regular outdoor type with a plastic cover, and GFI plug. One night I noticed power was off. One prong was charred, with plastic melted around it, and melted plastic in the outlet. Breaker on panel wasn't tripped. No evidence of a power surge anywhere else. Any ideas on what's going on and what I should do to correct would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Houyhnhnm
Thanks to all for your info. I have replaced the outlet and the plug/cord, and it's working fine now.

Vincent mentioned problems with P&S. Both the old and new outlets are Leviton.

All the answers were good and I don't know which to pick, so I'm putting it to the voters.

Thanks again,
Houyhnhnm

Answer
Make sure you have COPPER wire, and that all the connections are nice and tight. Replace the plug all the way to the hot tub, as well as the GFI

reneecoome

I live in California (Bay Area). I was thinking of making a home-made wood fired hot tub. I was hoping for a bin that carries volume of water (1 ton rectangle shape). I'm looking to find a square of rectangle bin (with or without a lid/top). The important thing is that I find a plastic tub that is 1/2 ton to 1 ton in size and preferably rectangular. Anyone have any ideas? I figure this was an "Industrial" request.

Anyone have anything say about another plan using "cinder blocks" + cement + stucco for the outside look. I am not sure if stucco is water-proof. I'd hate to swim alongside stucco but Anyone have any ideas about how to keep cinder blocks from leaking water? Thanks
I will not be using chemicals of any sort. just fresh clean hot water. It won't have a drain. I would imagine I would siphon it out via gravity hose.

What is the best hotel in Las Vegas during spring break?

hot tubs under $2 000 image

italianfor

I am searching for hotels and my daughter has a late spring break. I was wondering for opinions and ideas of good hotels. Make sure the hotel you mention has at least a casino and pool!

Answer
I have nothing but good things to say about The Flamingo. It is by far my favorite hotel on Las Vegas for Overall Value. Anyway here's a review I wrote about it on Yelp.com

I'll start off with the bad first: we came in early around noon, and were told to come back around 3 pm to get our keys. We came back at 3 pm, they said come back at 4 pm cus the room wasn't ready. That's okay cus technically check-in time is 4 pm. Came back at 4 pm and was told the room wouldn't be ready for 30-45 minutes....we asked for a manager. Our room was ready in 10 minutes, and he gave us a $30 coupon to use at the bar or gift shop. So that's decently fair.

Anyway Flamingo's location is quite possibly the best on the strip. Right smack dab in the middle, what more could you ask for? The distance from room to elevator to the strip was real short unlike so many other casinos where it's an absolute chore to get from your room to the strip or vice versa. And I like how when you walk out of the casino..you're right on the sidewalk...there's no long *** escalator/path you have to take to get to the sidewalk. I mean wow.

We also liked the rooms considering we got the upgrade Go! Rooms that are newly remodeled, and look nothing like the outside of the casino (which is starting to show it's age pretty badly). The beds were big, clean, and comfy. Huge *** 42" LCD TV, a TV in the bathroom mirror, a separate shower and tub. The shower also had some body jets which was nice. No problems with the water temp. or pressure. I'm used to staying in standard rooms or Vegas or even sh*t holes like Tropicana...this was anything but that.

Service: I didn't like how they couldn't guarantee my dry cleaning would get to me in the 6-8 pm slot that it said on the bag, but it did arrive on time. The cleaning ladies did a decent job, and didn't steal anything so that's also good. And when we called for our bags, extra glasses, and hangers..they were quickly brought up (very quickly)..that's good.

Casino: The theme is losing it's touch, but it's still decently nice inside. It's not Bellagio, it's not O'Sheas either. Drinks take a little while to get to you, but I think I was up a couple hundred in this casino, and my buddy won $2,000 w/the lucky lady jackpot on the blackjack table...plus they had $5 and $10 tables during busy times..that works for me.

Pool: Really nice, I came a little late so no staff or bar was to be found...but I'm sure in the hotter days it'd be excellent.

View: my two rooms had amazing views. One had a good view of the pool, and the other had amazing view of the Bellagio fountains.

Price: I originally booked the Go! rooms directly through Flamingo for $590 each plus tax for Friday & sat night. Then I cancelled and rebooked them for $610...why you may ask. Because I found a cheaper rate of $540 on Orbitz. Due to their Best Rate Guarantee..they not only matched the cheaper rate, but they dropped it 25%. Our rooms now were a little under $400 for the weekend per room. Sounds like a great deal to me.

Overall: Other a few slight quirks here and there. I can't give Flamingo any less than 5 stars. I'm sure it'd be different if we paid more and/or were stuck with a standard room. But considering of our group we paid $100 each for the room here, compared to the $70 each at Tropicana or $90 each for Bally's. I definitely will say Flamingo was well-worth the little extra money for the room quality and strip location. I'd highly recommend Flamingo's Go! Rooms to anyone who wants a great value on the strip.

Link:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/flamingo-las-veg...
~G
p.s. Other suggestions: Ballys for the same price range. also affordable, great locaiton, clean. Stay away from Tropicana it's garbage.

anyway great websites:
www.yelp.com - real reviews by real people
www.cheapovegas.com - critics reviews but gives reviews on the casinos, their service, clientele, rooms, pool, etc.

Which state or area in the US has the lowest priced real estate?

We can relocate anywhere, but we want the most house (not a condo) for the least price, no more than 250,000. Just in general, does anyone know of a location where prices are under 250,000?

Answer
Arkansas has some of the lowest prices around. Example: 3 bed, 2 bath newer home with full finished walk out basement on 2.8 acres with hot tub for 99,900.

*Fun Things*
*Fun Things*

Answer
YOU MAY WISH TO TAKE MORE, LESS OR EVEN DIFFERENT ITEMS. USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT. TOO MUCH IS OK, TOO LITTLE ISN'T.TOO LITTLE ENDS UP COSTING YOU TOO MUCH BY HAVING TO SHOP AT A CAMP STORE OR DRIVING A DISTANCE TO GET TO A REGULAR STORE. THAT JUST TAKE TIME AND MONEY FROM YOUR TRIP. IF YOU BRING TOO MUCH JUST PUT THE THING YOU DON¹T NEED A SIDE . IT WILL BE MORE COMFORTING TO KNOW IT IS THERE ANYWAY. THE POINT IS TO HAVE FUN AND GET A WAY FROM THE EVERYDAY LIFE AND GET A LITTLE R & R, GO HIKING AND SEE NATURE. RUNNING TO THE STORE FOR THINGS YOU FORGOT IS JUST NOT ON MOST PEOPLES TO DO LISTS............ SO GO PREPARED!!!

Do I need a service disconnect if my main breaker panel is within line of sight of the spa?

outdoor hot tub deck designs image

K P

If possible, please provide references.

Answer
QUESTION: Is a spa or hot tub installed at a single-family residence, outdoors on a deck,
required to have the disconnecting means specified in NEC 680.12? Is a general-purpose
receptacle outlet required between 6 and 20 feet from the spa or hot tub per 680.22(A)(3)?
Does the equipotential bonding grid required in 680.26(B)(2) have to be installed around the
perimeter of the spa or hot tub?
ANSWER PART 1: Yes, a maintenance disconnecting means is required. NEC 680.42 for
outdoor spa and hot installations refers back to Part I and Part II for the rules that would
otherwise apply to swimming pools. (NEC 680.42(A) and (B) do provide some exceptions from
the main rules in Parts I and II; these exceptions are related to flexible connections and
bonding). The disconnecting means mentioned in the question is in 680.12 in Part I and would
be applicable to outdoor spas and hot tubs. In summary, the outdoor spa or hot tub in question
would be required to be provided with a maintenance disconnecting means in accordance with
690.12.
ANSWER PART 2: Yes, a GFCI-protected receptacle outlet would be required to be installed
no closer than 6 feet and no further than 20 feet from the outdoor spa or hot tub.
ANSWER PART 3: Yes, an equipotential bonding grid would be required for an outdoor spa or
hot tub. Compliance with the prescriptive rules in the NEC is achievable through proper design,
planning, and construction for a new installation. However, if a new packaged spa or hot tub is
IAEI April 15, 2009
Page 2 of 4
located onto an existing deck or an existing grade-level concrete patio, it can be a challenge to
meet the prescriptive requirements in the NEC. In summary, when new spas or hot tubs are
placed into existing locations, the installer and the AHJ will need to assess each situation and
its unique characteristics on a case-by-case basis in order to meet the intent of the NEC and to
ensure a safe installation.

What are the best family friendly cruise lines?

Mollie M

my family and I are going on a cruise and we are trying to find one that is family friendly (there are four of us).

Answer
It is said that Princess, Disney cruises, Holland America and Carnival are all family-oriented but I know for certain abut Princess.They have a Youth and Teen Programme called pelicans and Shockwaves specially for juniour cruisers ages 3-12 and the Remix centre for teens.

This is taken from their web site.
Youth & Teen Programs
A Boatload of Fun

Cruising with Princess is a complete escape for all ages. There's everything from arts and crafts, game tables, movies, and splash pools (on select cruise ships) to teen centers with ping-pong tables, juke boxes, and all the latest video games. There's a play area and special outdoor deck exclusively for toddlers. And Remix is designed to give teens their own space â and the time of their lives. In addition, kids on the Grand and Golden Princess will also enjoy their own deck space with a Whale's Tail splash pool, and teens have a separate hot tub and deck area just for them.

All Youth and Teen Centers are fully supervised by our staff of Youth Activities Coordinators.

Children are welcome on all Princess cruise ships, but facilities vary. Pacific Princess and Tahitian Princess do not have dedicated Youth and Teen Centers (programs are available only when 20 or more children are sailing). However, when 20 or more children ages 3 to 17 are traveling on these ships, they will enjoy a varied schedule of supervised activities organized by a Youth Activities Coordinator.
Family Cruising Tips

Anytime Dining is recommended for families who want to dine together, so children may fully participate in the evening youth activities (starting at 7 p.m.).

The dining alternatives onboard our ships allow parents the freedom to spend time with their children while they eat an early dinner at the pizzeria, in the 24-hour restaurant offering a special children's menu, in their stateroom with 24-hour room service, or in one of our many alternative dining locations. After taking their children to the supervised Youth and Teen Centers, parents can enjoy dining on their own in the elegant dining rooms.

Many shore excursions have been selected with family cruisers in mind. Discounted rates for children and "family-friendly" activities are available to make the most of your time in port. Please see your Adventures Ashore brochure for details.

On embarkation day, the Princess Youth and Teen Schedule for the entire cruise will be delivered to your stateroom. If you need more than one copy, please contact your Youth Activities Coordinator.

Don't miss the orientation and registration meeting on the first night of your cruise. You and your children can meet the Youth and Teen staff and learn more about our exciting shipboard programs. Parents are always welcome to join their children in the Youth and Teen Centers.
Hours of Operation
Sea Days: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
7 p.m. - 1 a.m. *
Port Days:8 a.m. - 5 p.m. â 

On Pacific and Tahitian Princess, the Princess Youth and Teen Programs are available when 20 or more children are sailing.

Please note: no group kidsitting on Pacific Princess and Tahitian Princess.

* A $5 USD per child/hour group kidsitting charge is applicable from 10 p.m. - 1 a.m. for youth passengers ages 3-12.
â  A supervised, complimentary lunch service is available with parent consent.
California Science Center

In a cruise industry exclusive, this respected Los Angeles institution provides educational and entertaining interactive science activities for children onboard most Princess cruise ships. Young passengers will be enthralled with award-winning science programs geared toward their particular ship's destination. Whale watching, chemistry experiments, building and racing sailboats, marine biology studies, and squid dissection are just some of the activities that may be offered.
Pete's PalsSM

Youngsters who participate in Princess Youth events will take home a limited-edition member of Pete's PalsSM as a way to learn more about endangered species in the areas in which Princess sails. On each cruise, Princess will issue a specially designed plush animal â beginning with "Pelican Pete," the program's mascot. In conjunction, kids will learn about the plight of many such threatened and endangered creatures, including white pelicans, manatees, sea turtles and bald eagles.
Pelican's PerchSM

Kids can make the most of their Caribbean adventure in this supervised play area on our own private island, Princess Cays.®. This special playground is managed by the shipboard youth staff and provides a secure place for children while parents enjoy the many beach amenities and water sports offered. Pelican's PerchSM is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Princess Youth & Teen Dinner Events

As part of the Princess Youth and Teen program, junior cruisers will also participate in two special dinner evenings designed for each age group. Younger passengers will enjoy dinner without parents and in the company of newfound friends

Where can i find a luxury cottage in Ontario, canada?

outdoor shower for hot tub image

Jeremy

Im looking for something waterfront with a hot tub - a little more upscale, and no more than 2 bedrooms, 'cause its for my honeymoon, so i dont want it too big. thanks!

Answer
The other links are good. Add this one to your search: http://www.cottageliferentals.com/

...and this: http://www.cottagerental.com/site_map.htm (Out of curiosity, I did a quick search at this site, and found a wide array of properties listed. Rates from about $1,200/week to around $4,000 being the typical range...depending on when you go.)

For luxury, you'll probably want the Muskoka/Gravenhurst area. (Muskoka has probably the biggest concentration of multi-million dollar cottages in Ontario.) But everything north of Toronto and south of Sudbury is pretty much considered "cottage country", so there might be a lovely rental in any part of Ontario.

Ontarians also like to cottage at Wasage Beach, Sauble Beach, and Grand Bend. There may be some nice cottages for rent on either Lake Ontario (Toronto to Ottawa area), or Lake Erie (southwestern Ontario).

I have a beach house on Lake Ontario (just outside Toronto) but, sadly, I don't know of any rental cottages to recommend. I also have a cottage (well...and island) near Sudbury. But I don't know of any rentals I could recommend in that area, either.

You might want to consider something in Niagara Falls (the honeymoon capital of the world) or in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

There's also Prince Edward County http://www.pec.on.ca/pec_yellowpages/yellowpages.php3?category=45

Personally, I've actually stayed at this place http://www.bettergetaway.com/ It's near Ottawa, and it is a private guest house located on 100 acres of wooded land. While the owners' home is right there, too, they leave you in peace. You have the whole guest house to yourself, and one of the owners is a chef, and can make pretty much any food you'd like. Since it's just the one guest house, you get very personalized service. It's not super-luxurious. (well...I suppose that depends on your level of taste. By comparison, I usually spend $500-$2,000/night on hotel rooms.) But it's by no means "low rent". (The photos at the web site are reasonably accurate. I think the place looks better in-person, though.) There's a decent size bathroom with a jacuzzi tub (shown in photos) and a steam shower (not shown), as well as a king-sized bed with decent duvet. There is a small kitchen with ample utensils, etc. There's an outdoor hot tub, hammock, telescope and binoculars, etc., etc. There are lots of trails around the 100 acres. The guest house is octangonal, and was built on-site, using lumber harvested from the property. (I don't believe there's cable, so if you like watching television, a small t.v. and DVD player will have to suffice.)

hot tub 3 flashing lights image

how cold and hot streams become one in different parts of the United States,like how the diff streams collided due to temperature.

Answer
I'll try to explain this in simple terms. I will explain to you, so that you can understand and then help explain it to the first grader who may want more answers.

Air acts just like any fluid. If you think about how air moves in the atmosphere, they move just like what you would see in the ocean, bath tub, or fish tank.

Like water, air flows in 3-D. The jets of air will move just like the current in the ocean in 3-D and act somewhat like a river current in 2-D.

Jet streams are just air moving faster than the air current around it. Air moves because mother nature is trying to balance the energy that it gets from outside sources...example solar energy from the sun and heat energy from the below the surface of the earth. Since the sun is not shining everywhere at the same time or at the same angle, there will always be somewhere where at one moment in time where they will get more sun energy then others. In other words, it is daytime here but on the other side of the world it is now dark.

So mother nature would try to balance this by moving the warm air to the colder areas and this will dislodge a cold pocket of air towards the warmer area.

With the sun angle so low in the polar regions and so high near the the tropics, the tropics will get more energy than the polar regions of the Earth. To demonstrate this, shine a flash light towards a basket ball set about 10 feet away. You can see that the edge of the ball will be darker. In other words, this area gets less exposed to light energy. On Earth, the poles stay near this edge as it spins around on its axis of rotation.

So air moves because of this imbalance. The bigger the imbalance, the stronger and faster these streams will be. So if there is a big difference in temperature between the air over Canada and the air over Mexico, you can expect a much stronger jet stream of air between them. Storms occur as a result of this attempt to balanced this energy out. These current or streams of air will split and come together because the atmosphere motion is fluid...it is constantly changing.

Here is a simple demonstration to demonstrate this. Put a big drop of hot milk into a glass of cold water. Then try this with room temperature milk and room temperature water. Note what happens. See how fast the milk will mix out for both cases abd how much mixing you will see. Once they mixed out, things will look calm again. Same thing will happen in our atmosphere. The storm will die and the wind will become light when the warm and cold air finally combines or move away from each other.

That is the very basics fluid dynamics without blinding you with science. Hope this helps explain things in a different way.

Hot Tub Question troubleshooting?

Bill Lieve

I have a Dynasty Excaliber model The control panel is flashing 3 lights telling me it is not working properly. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks for any help you can provide
I tried that it doesn't show any thing about 3 flashing lights troubleshooting

Answer
Your hot tub may be similar to one of Canadian Spa Company's hot tubs. As for the flashing lights, it is better to ask your manufacturer for them to see the problem. It may have several problems leading to flashing of lights.

Any tips or tricks on how to save money with a young family?

cheap hot tubs ebay image

Aimee's Mu

Hey everyone,

Can anyone share any tips on saving money when you have kids. Aimee is only 17months but our shopping and bills and things are so expensive so wondering if anyone had any money saving tips?

Answer
I swear by my extra freezer - I got it cheap off ebay and it now lives in our garage. Now I can buy food that's on offer and stock up. I also cook batches of soups and sauces to freeze, much cheaper than the store bought stuff and nicer too. I can buy large packs of meat from Costco and seperate it all into bags for the freezer.
Try to cut down on your food waste, use tupperware tubs to keep leftovers as fresh as you can until using them, try to keep fruit in the fridge in this hot weather so that it lasts longer. Shop sensibly, remember that shops put the stuff they really want to sell the most (with the highest profit margin) at eye level, so learn to look around for better value products. Consider some more shop brand products, try various ones to find out what you like. Use the vouchers that you find for money off - cut them out and put them in your bag/purse when you see them so you don't get to the checkout then suddenly realise that you left them at home (i do that frequently...) Try loyalty schemes like Tesco clubcard, nectar points, Boots advantage card. Remember that Boots have a booth just inside every store that will offer you new deals every time you shop - pop your card in every time you visit the store to see what they have - their advantage card is actually the most value when you use it well.
Would you be interested in trying cloth nappies? I use them now after never trying them with my first baby and I'm hooked. Aside from the environmental benefits, they're also better for baby's skin and I've saved a LOT of money. I understand that Aimee's a bit older now so you don't want to splash out for ones that you won't use for long - you could always try this site...
https://www.usednappies.co.uk/members_area.php

You can buy used cloth nappies there for a fraction of the price - boil wash them if you're concerned about hygiene, then as long as they're kept in good condition, you can re-sell for as much as you spent.
(adding as I go along, lol)
Remember to switch off all electrical appliances when you're not using them. Try to cut down how much you do use by drying clothes on a clothes line instead of a tumble drier, switch off lights during the day, turn off the tv for some puzzles or story time instead.
Find cheaper days out - kids are delighted with the park or a good garden. Invite friends round for kids' play time and swap turns at each other's houses. Buy kids clothes in the end of season sales - remembering what age group to buy for next summer so that at the start of next summer, you don't have to spend a fortune on clothes they'll be selling for half the price in a few weeks. If you watch a lot of films, try a cheap dvd rental rather than buying new ones (Tesco rental is quite good). If you go to the cinema, Orange wednesday is really good and while technically you have to be an Orange customer, you can just ask someone who's with orange and not using it that day to get the discount code for you, then you use it at the cinema.
See if you can save money on energy by switching companies. try uswitch.com, they'll find the best deal for you and it is quick and easy (i should know, I've switched several times!). Energy companies are constantly changing their prices and offering new deals, it's best to keep an eye out for where you can save.
Review your driving, are you over-reving and wasting fuel? Think about how to drive the economical way. Try to use your air con as little as you can, that's a real drain on the tank! Did you know that petrol stations change their prices through the week? Tuesday and Wednesday are the cheapest days to fill up. Look for deals on petrol - such as Tesco offering 5p off a litre when you spend more then £50 in store (every now and then). I'v found Asda to have the cheapest fuel in our area.
Wash your own car rather than pay for it - get Aimee in her messy clothes and give her a cloth, it's actually really good fun for kids! My 3 year old soaked herself on Saturday this way and she had a great time.
Also, try these sites for great tips on how to save money;
http://www.frugal.org.uk/index.html
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/
ETA - Just found this;
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/orange-wednesday#free
You can get a free orange sim card with £5 top up and use it for orange wednesday! I'm going to do that now...

How much is my table bell worth?

Aqualily6

I was given a box of Christmas ornaments a few years ago and I am going to be moving. I was going through everything to sell in my yard sale and there is this antique looking bell with a ring on top. There are also 2 holes on each side of the bell. I think there used to be a chain with a bell chime inside.

I saw a plastic Made in India sticker, so I figured it wouldn't be worth much, but it looked antique. I thought maybe it could be silver, so I looked up how to tell if something is silver. I tested it with a magnet and it did not stick, I set an ice cube on it and the ice cube melted in seconds (the way a hot spoon would melt an ice cube), and I tinged it with my finger and it chimed beautifully.

Description:
It is shaped like the end of a trumpet, long and slender, with a ring on top that almost looks like a key ring. There is one drill hole through the ring (maybe where another chain would go with a bell ringer on it).

There is no silver mark, just a made in india label, but I can't tell how old the label is
(It was stored in tupperware storage tubs for years, so it was kept really well.)

It looks a little bit tarnished around where fingers must have touched it, and some up inside of it. In the grooves of the detail work it is black-ish colored.

It is about 6 1/2 inches tall, and the diameter of the base is 2 inches.

The base has a flower petal shape, up and down bumps, so it looks like a trumpet shaped flower.

(I found only 2 from India that looked similar on ebay, but they were bronze and 1 was slate gray - possibly aluminum or something. They were selling for cheap, which causes concern.)

What ever it is, I know it is a rare item and I'm hoping it is silver. Do you think it is silver? Is there any other ways to tell. Is it possible that it is a silver antique from India? How much would this table bell, I believe is what it is called, sell for if it was silver?
I was just going through the boxes of ornaments again and I found the chain for my bell, with a little metal stick on the end.

The chain attaches to the hole in the top and the stick (when not in use) slides through the two holes at the base of the bell. It looks cool. Using this info, I found more similar bells. They are usually made as brass from what I can tell. (I cannot find a reproduction of it yet, so it must be really unique)

It is similar in structure to these-

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1800s-Original-Vintage-Rare-Huge-Hand-Inlay-Forged-Inlay-Brass-Cow-Bell-Bell-/300893152929?pt=Asian_Antiques&hash=item460ea126a1

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-6PC-SOLID-BRASS-ETCHED-BELLS-MADE-IN-INDIA-SMALL-2-LOT-W-/370812645192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item565627ef48


And then I saw this thing, that looks very similar with the horn shape:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-UNUSUAL-ANTIQUE-WOODEN-PULL-TOILET-PULL-BELL-PULL-HANDLE-LIGHT-PULL-KNOB-3-/380562995711?pt=UK_Antiques_Architecural_

Answer
Take it to any jeweler and ask them to help you decide whether it is silver - that makes a difference.
Is it anything like this?
http://gifts.indiavision.com/Mothers_Day/Puja_Items/Antique_Silver_Bell.html

Before you do anything, find out what it's made of, and how heavy it is if it' really silver.
It may be that its worth is in the metal itself, or at least that should be taken into consideration
Dealers frequent the yard sales looking for things they can sell, so don't sell it there for 5 bucks until you find out if it's worth more.

half in ground jacuzzi or a above ground jacuzzi ?? pros vs cons ?

best portable jacuzzi hot tubs image

blazedup.c

i don't have a big yard, outside my patio i have 30 x 10 feet yard i want to make nice area. since i have a small yard i was thinkin a half in the ground jacuzzi. creativespas.com is an example. i call i just have enough room if i did the half in ground one. but i heard more problems with this kind or it attracts bugs ?? or should i just get the concrete slab and do a portable jacuzzi ? what are pros and cons of each ?

Answer
As long as you maintain access to the pumps, control components, and all piping and fittings that might ever require service or repair, there is nothing wrong with a sunken or partially sunken hot tub or spa, and can be installed in an appealing design.

If you bury or make difficult access to any of the serviceable components, you're only asking for trouble, and extra expense, should something require service.

Which Type of bath, spa, hydrotherapy ?

Duncan m

I am looking to buy either a whirlpool, spa or hydrotherapy bath, but a bit confused to whay each one does, I have bad tingling in my left leg due to bad spine injury last year, on a recent visit to a hotel i had a go at their jacuzzi, it helped no end with the combination of hot water and bubbles, i cannot afford such, but need some ideas as to which bath would suit best, budget of max £1000 not including fitting, be glad of some help please

Answer
Aquatic Therapy or pool therapy is the best way to exercise and treat pains you are using the resistance of water instead of weights and feeling so much better. i think you should try all the tubs spas Jacuzzi you can to see which tub gives you the best results, like how you feel when you you leave the water how long does this treatment last from a certain tub and functions. Then decide which preformed the best and lasted the longest for your condition.
The hydrotherapy spa may be the best but also very pricey.Whirlpools are great as well but the strength of jets may be a tad to much , but new models have controls to adjust this as well There is a type that uses air to make bubbles to lift to surface much more lighter on pressure and body plus feel warm water all over body not just from jets.This is very nice indeed but also has a handsome price as well.Most tubs no matter what type you decide on will be close to $2000 or more.Jacuzzis are not any cheaper.

How can I manage stress being a working mother of 3?

cheap hot tubs on finance image

Rainy

I have 3 daughters (ages 11, 7 and 7 months), my elderly mother, and my demanding and needy husband depending on me. And, I work full-time plus a part-time job. I have to work due to finances. I am getting so stressed from all of my responsibilities that I'm starting to not want to go home. I don't really feel happy with my life. Any suggestions?

Answer
Somehow you are going to have to manage some time for yourself, even if it is only 1 hour a week. If your husband can't manage the kids by himself for just one hour, then hire a cheap high school babysitter for the hour. Tell everyone that with all you do it is the least they can do for you to give you the one hour each week. Then turn the teapot on, pour a hot cup of tea, grab your favorite book, and retreat to the bath tub where you run a hot bubble bath and soak for an hour! Lock the door and refuse to open it unless the house is on fire. And stick to your guns, sometimes as a mom everyone wants you available on their terms but we are people also and have needs and our bodies need replenishing and strengthening just like the love and care you give to all of them throughout the week. If you find it absolutely impossible to get the one hour at home, then take your book to the local coffee house cafe or library, order a hot chocolate and read. You should find yourself at least a little refreshed having no demands being made on you for just that one hour. If you can manage more, go for it. Good luck and God Bless.

has anyone ever had a painful chiropractic adjustment?

Blake Filt

please share stories i threw my back out and im afriad if i go to the chiropractor it will make it worse! please help!

Answer
I have been going to a chiropractor for 40 years, I did not have that many instances where it hurt afterwards but usually not for more than an hour.

I have been greatly helped. I first went at the urging of my finance' when in a 55 mph wreck and his stories of his uncle and his experiences, but I was super scared. I was so tense, the chiropractor could not adjust me at all. Eventually my chiropractor could adjust me but I kept feeling like he was going to drop me and he had another man who had been a patient as a kid and then became a chiropractor and this guy was much better and I gradually switched to him.

I have been in about 25 wrecks another one at 55 mph and been run over by a car. I have had about 5 occasions with herniated disks. the worst was when I was ruin over. I was in a wheelchair most of the time for 15 months.

A neurologist said I needed immediate surgery but I refused as I knew my chiropractor had helped me before. The neurologist got so mad as I left to leave his office, he yelled down the hall at me "you'll be back in a week. I guarantee it, you will be in too much pain" I never went back. Ity took a few visits a week for 15 months but my chiropractor gradually got me from taking 20 minutes to alk tot he next room to use the bathroom (I could not take a shower for 3 months as I could not lift my leg high enough to get in the tub. I screamed with pain) to walkign 45 minutes at a time. I will never be normal as I had too many injuries but he got me to the top of the line of what I could recover.

I had an injury and 4 herniated disks 9 months ago..The pain was the 2nd worst I ever had. Unfortunately my insurance now only pays 1 visit a month which is not enough to get better with this bad an injury so I am enduring pain. The doctors offered steroid shot which did nothing but make me blood sugar surge too high for the meter to read. I am now trying acupuncture as it is cheaper than my chiropractor. I had abut 5 treatments but so far nothing. Given my chose, I would chose chiropractic anyday over both doctor and acupuncture.

You would be, in my opinion crazy to not go to a chiropractor. Choose one trained in the palmer method.

The government did a study and found chiropractic to be the most successful treatment followed by exercise. Medical treatments came in last in the study.

I will tell you this,

Sometimes it hurts worst until it feels better. Do not stop going if it does. the reason for this is the adjustment puts it back in the right place but the muscles pull it back and you do not hold the adjustment. After a while the muscle get used to the right place and the adjustment holds longer and longer till one day, you are back to normal. The pain usually does not last the long I found but it can feel worst for a while when first getting started but it is worth it as nothing helps like chiropractic. I trusted my chiropractor so much I took my 2 year old and 8 year old to him back then and treated them till they left home.


I would also try hot and cold showers --directions below

also try a capsicum cream or a##kisser cream or try deep tissue repair sold at herbdoc.com

I also use magnelyfe magnets (use waterproof first aid tape to hold them on instead of the tape in the package which falls off...these really help.

Do not be afraid chiropractic unless you have a very bad chiropractor will not make it worst bvut exceedingly better. I always let fear stop me but thankfully stuck with it. I shudder to think how bad I might be with all those wrecks without my chiropractic. Many in my shoes would have been candidates for surgery and many are ruined for life with this. have faith and go..it is well worth it but it sometimes takes 2-3 visits a week for a while. gradually you will be going less and less.
