Bald people are more successful in business than hairy people

As Web Watch has mentioned before, we know a fair number of bald (or balding) folks.

Our friends are usually accepting of their baldness, and tend to embrace it fully.  Perhaps its a generational thing, as premature balding is more accepted at younger ages than our parents and grandparents who do as much as they can to get their hair back via hairpieces, wigs, transplants, or wearing silly old-guy hats all the time.

Quick poll: should you go naked when you get a massage?

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

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.

How much money does the tooth fairy bring?

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.

How to write a comment on the Internet (It’s “Online Commenting Etiquette 101”)

Commenting (whether it be on a blog, a Facebook page, or via Tweet) is a fine art.

Some people get it right, and are effective in rallying other readers behind their cause.  Others are looked at as Internet trolls, people who have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.

Look, it’s really easy — we get it, the Internet is an anonymous cesspool of interaction, allowing anyone with a screen and a keyboard to shout out whatever they feel like, at any time they’d like.  The First Amendment does protect those folks in saying whatever they want, but the First Amendment doesn’t guarantee that they can say it wherever they can.  That’s why the DELETE and BAN buttons were invented.

How much money do kids make with allowance?

A question for all the parents who read Web Watch: how much money do you pay your kids in an allowance?

One would think this would be a simply question to answer, but it’s really a bit more complicated than one would think.

Are you the type of parent who pays an allowance to their children, no matter what?  Or do you only pay an allowance as payment for specific jobs being done around the house?
