With Halloween right around the corner, we’re at the start of the annual Winter Get Fat season (comprised of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day — combined with all those weekly college and pro sports that require copious amounts of beer and wings every week).

So it should come as no surprise that fitness companies are already figuring out what they need to do in order to help us stay fit and healthy — or at the very least, get us back on the healthy road for the rest of the year come January 1st.

Mrs. Pinchpenny’s Guide to Surviving the Holidays on a Budget

With the holidays around the corner, people are starting to think about ways that they can get gifts for their families and friends without breaking the budget (assuming that they even have a holiday spending budget in the first place!).

Chimpanzee Alive - Animatronic Robot MonkeyChimpanzee Alive – Animatronic Monkey Robot

Who wouldn’t want to walk into a room full of people all wearing your own face as their Halloween costume?

Or, you could creep people out by “going as yourself” for Halloween, and still fulfilling the requirement of actually wearing a Halloween mask instead of just being a fun-sucker by not participating in the festivities.

How to Open a Financially Successful Coffee, Espresso & Tea Shop

Ah, coffee.

For some, the smell of coffee is the equivalent of a new morning, a fresh day ahead.

Starbucks and other gourmet coffee shops have brainwashed the world into believing a $4 cup of coffee is superior to anything that you can brew at home for pennies a cup (we’ve since learned that’s not true – otherwise, why would those same coffee shops be selling coffee beans to take home for self-brewing?).

Now that the summer camp season is winding down and kids are heading back to school, Web Watch wanted to take a moment to share with you a story that would have freaked some parents out and led to unhappy summer vacations if we had shared it a month ago when this first crossed our browser.

It ends up that SUMMER CAMPS ARE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR APPLYING SUNSCREEN TO CAMPERS.

And it’s all because some parents are extra-sensitive about who should be allowed to touch their children, even when done in a supervisory manner by workers in child-oriented jobs.

46% of people surveyed will spend part of their vacation time doing work instead of actually enjoying their time off.

Web Watch knows how they feel – during one Vegas vacation, we spent two days in the hotel room overlooking the Bellagio fountains, compiling a PowerPoint presentation for our boss who didn’t understand the meaning of “hey, just because we brought a laptop with us doesn’t mean that we’re available to you 24 hours a day…. especially while we’re in Vegas.”

July 4-10, 2011 is NATIONAL NUDE RECREATION WEEK, according to the American Association for Nude Recreation.

So who is the AANR?  It’s only a group of 200,000+ people who just like being naked; they find nothing wrong or ashamed about the human body, and don’t mind sitting around in the buff with other like-minded folks.

We knew you would ask – the AANR’s headquarters are in Kissimmee, Florida — just a few minutes away from Walt Disney World. Coincidence? We think not.
