How to travel across the country using only social media

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 25, 2012

Lindsay Rule is comfortable traveling by herself, which is unusual for a young single woman in today’s scary world.

Don’t get us wrong – it’s not that traveling by oneself that’s the scary part – it’s the way that Lindsay chose to do it that may have given her family and friends a bit of a scare.

On the other hand, if you think about what Lindsay did, she was probably traveling in the most safe way possible. She technically wasn’t traveling alone; she was bringing hundreds of eyes with her, watching her every move.

10 Things Travel

The dirtiest item in your hotel room is not the TV remote control

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 16, 2012

Web Watch has told you about DIRTY HOTEL ROOMS before.

And you all know people who travel with a Ziploc bag in their luggage, specifically to use with the TV remote control, as Web Watch has mentioned that the TV remote in a hotel room is pretty much germ central.

But it ends up that the hotel room TV remote is NOT the dirtiest item in your dirty hotel room.

10 Things How To Travel

The secret rule of riding the bus? Nobody wants to sit next to the “Crazy Person”

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 2, 2012

Let’s face it – we’ve all played that game of chance when riding our favorite form of public transportation, whether it be a streetcar in San Francisco, a plane flying out of JFK, or a public bus or subway:

“Is that person coming down the aisle going to sit in the empty seat next to me?”

And there are some people who are coming through that you say, “why yes – I’d love for that hottie to sit next to me for the next 4 hours” (Web Watch knows of at least one blooming relationship that was born from such a random airplane encounter).

And then there are others who you hope and pray won’t choose you to be their personal Travel Buddy and Hygiene Police.

How to tell if you’re raising a spoiled brat? It’s all about where you live

Post author By web gangsta

How much do you spend on your child at Christmas or for their birthday?

Are you one of those parents that believe that their child is extra-special and deserves to be given everything they ever could possibly ask for?

Or are you a parent whose philosophy is more along the lines of being sure to offer your children a choice, such as “would you like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich… or a spanking?” You know, because letting children make their own decisions is so important in encouraging a child’s self-worth and well-being.

How to make the Ultimate Road Trip Mixtape

Post date July 14, 2012

Web Watch is certain we’ve written aboutHOW TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE ROADTRIP MIXTAPEpreviously, but needless to say, if it’s our archive of thousands of links we’ve covered over the years, that posting is sadly lost. (If it ever turns up, we’ll be sure to link it from here – you know, just for closure.)

Besides, if true, it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve written about a particular website more than once in the annals of Web Watch history.

Steakhouse or Gay Bar?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date July 8, 2012

You’ve driven down the road and seen the signs for a new restaurant or bar in your town. Sometimes, have you ever wondered – based solely on the name itself – what type of restaurant it was?

Sure, we’re all familiar with Hooters, and for the most part the name conjures up what one would expect to see inside.

Similarly for Longhorn Steakhouse or Tony Roma’s Ribs – you know what those establishments are going to be about before you even step foot in the door.

The Worst Apartment You Ever Lived In

Post author By web gangsta
Post date July 5, 2012

Everyone has experienced this at one time or other in their lives.

You’ve lived in some pretty crappy places, right?

One of the first places Web Watch lived was perfectly fine, other than the rather loud upstairs neighbor who took great pride in announcing to as many people who could hear her how much she loved God.

At least, she yelled out “Oh, God!” a lot… usually late at night. Every night. For weeks/months on end.

She was a fairly religious woman, we believe. Right?

Video Fun: Where in the World is Matt 2012

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 21, 2012

Web Watch has mentioned Matt Harding before – he’s the guy who struck upon the absolutely perfect “job”, if you want to call it that, of traveling around the world and dancing.

And not just good dancing.

We’re talking really bad dancing.

And he’s been able to turn this hobby into a paying career of travel, music, Internet viral videos, and just bringing a little bit of joy and happiness to everyone he meets.

It’s a world-trotting flash mob.
