Quick poll: should you get naked when you go to your spa for a massage or other treatment?

For those who are not familiar with getting a professional massage, such as at a spa or a resort, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether you should strip down nude or not.

Web Watch will make one part of this easy for you: if you’re getting one of those fancy poolside massages while on a beach vacation, chances are that you’ll want to keep your swimsuit on rather than get naked in front of the everyone enjoying their day in the sun. You may be in a cabana, but cabanas aren’t always as private as they may seem.

In other words, save the nudity for the treatment room.

Ten Snowshoeing Tips

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 29, 2012

Growing up, Web Watch spent winters traversing across the countryside on cross-country skis (okay, it was mainly snow-covered golf courses, but to us it was the wild wilderness) .

There’s a reason why the NordicTrak is considered good exercise — cross-country skiing is hard work, and takes a ton of effort and coordination to do it right. Especially when you’re 6-years-old in a Michelin-man sized snowsuit.

We fell down a lot, but we had fun.

Men- are you going bald? If so, what’s your plan?

Not every man can pull off a wig. Web Watch knows some balding men that have either gone with the “short stubble” look, or completely shaved everything off. At least in our circle of friends, we may have a few bare crowns, but there isn’t anyone that’s decided to do a complete comb-over like our grandparents would do.

One of our friends once contemplated getting hair plugs/grafts — at the time, he said it was a bargain for $11,000, and his girlfriend at the time really pushed for it. But he had second thoughts and decided that he was going to work it out with what God intended him to have, hair or not.

Parents: how much money do you leave under your child’s pillow when they lose a tooth?

Web Watch recalls that $0.50 was the norm for every tooth we lost, but we’ve heard more recent reports that the dollar value for a tooth has gone much higher today.

Before we get to the topic on hand, here’s another parent question: what do you do with all those teeth? Do you keep them? Toss them away? Make a creepy “tooth necklace” out of them? Be sure to tell us your family tooth traditions in the comments below.

Adults today may be more educated about the pros and cons of using (or not using) birth control, but that doesn’t mean that those same adults are following through and practicing safe sex.

Which fast-food burger tastes the best?

Web Watch loves a good burger.

When done right, it’s phenomenal. When done poorly, it’s still pretty good. Of course, we make our own decision as to where we’re going to get that burger, and go into the establishment generally knowing what we’re going to get.

There’s a difference between a McDonald’s Dollar Menu double-cheeseburger and a burger from the Burger Gourmet Bar sit-down restaurant with the $21 Kobe beef slider down the street. You get what you pay for, and as long as you’re okay with that, then the following won’t surprise you.

Radio dominates in advertising impact survey

How many people listen to the radio?

If you were to pay attention to technology pundits and the general news media, you would come away with the conclusion of, “well, practically nobody”. According to them, all those people who used to be radio listeners are bypassing that “old” technology for new offerings that the Internet has brought to bear, such as Pandora and Spotify. Cellphone playlists. Satellite radio, even, still makes a claim for being a popular alternative to traditional radio listening.
