Walk In Tub perfectly Suited for Comfort, Style and Consumer Safety

by Trish



Are you wanting to get a new walk in tub?


When selecting your new bathroom fixtures you may want to give some consideration to a walk in bath tub now . These walk-in tubs are designed to offer the ultimate bathing experience for consumers who demand comfort, security and safety.

The walk in tub is a great investment.

The elegant lines and innovative features are sure to capture your eye, but these tubs provide you with much more than just a pretty bathroom fixture.  From the quality acrylic materials to the smallest detail of construction, the quality of walk-in baths should be distinctive, unique and undeniable. This modern style of bathing brings safety to the forefront by eliminating those common dangers associated with traditional styles of bathtubs.

Each year there are thousands of slips and falls that occur in home bathrooms. Senior citizens are at the most risk of becoming a casualty due to one of these accidents. In the past there were few alternatives when bathing was concerned. If someone did not feel comfortable trying to climb into their bath they could settle for a sponge bath or just skip bathing altogether.

As people age the changes in their balance and vision can make bathing bathtubs a dangerous experience. Even a slight slip can result in a sprained muscle, bruises or a painful bone fracture. For seniors who value their independence the fact of asking for help with their bath was not a satisfactory solution to this dilemma. What they wanted was a tub that offered them a new bathing experience that was designed to be comfortable, convenient and safe for all consumers.

Instead of balancing on one foot to climb in and out of the bathtub, walk-in tubs have  been created as a walk-in fixture. There are no high sides to clamber over because these are bathtubs that allow you to enter and exit by walking. This one concept was bold enough to permanently change the bathing industry. The walk-in designs assure you that these bath fixtures have been created to deliver the maximum amount of safety and convenience.

These bathtubs can be used by consumers in all age groups, but are especially appreciated by adults and senior citizens. There is an easy exit and entrance; secure footing; comfortable seating and a sturdy locking mechanism that prevents water leakage. What more could anyone ask from a simple bathtub?

The modern design also bring a welcome splash of elegance and beauty to any bathroom. The practical aspects of the walk-in tubs are gracefully combined so that they are delightfully blended into the sleek appearance. This means that your functional bathtub is going to be noticed first for the beauty and style that it adds to your bathroom.

Each walk in tub is constructed to meet your personal needs, decor and level of taste. These products are available both in Canada and the US.

You should purchase a walk in tub today.

Still finding new things on my laptop whooohooo

by The Diva

I’ve had my new laptop for about three weeks now and I’m still exploring everything that’s on it. It certainly came loaded with quite a bit of software … in fact, I think i”ll probably end up taking some of it off the computer after a while if I don’t find that I use it because my new laptop has two hard drives and the operating system seems to be installed on the smaller hard drive which means everything so far is getting installed on that hard drive so it’s filling up quickly!

The new laptop is an Asus and if you’re familiar with Asus they come with tons of software and as I said I’m still trying to figure out what it all is … like smart login manager, and asus multiframe, asus access, asus, ap bank .. Clicking on the programs has gotten me into trouble once or twice so I think i’ll do internet searches on them first to figure out what they are. LOL I just wish there was a better explaination somewhere on the computer as to what all this special Asus variety software was about.

Oh and there’s a built in webcam. I’ve never had that before on a laptop or desktop. Trouble is .. again, I can’t find anything about how to control it. There’s barely anything written about it in the manual. Odd. Anyway .. once I figure it out I can use it for Conference calling on Skype with my friends and family. I’m certainly looking forward to that! Actually maybe if I just download and set up the Skype software perhaps the webcam will work? Probably. I guess I should test it while I can still return the laptop huh? I mean, if it didn’t work …

Ok back to finding out what other fun stuff is on my laptop …

New neighbors coming soon

by The Diva

It looks like we’re going to have new neighbors soon. Yeah … I hate having an empty house beside us … of course I hated our bad renter neighbors even more.

The couple who bought the house came by earlier this evening. I think it was their first visit since the house officially became theirs. I have no idea when they might move in though – maybe this weekend.

If they’re like us, they’d be smart to keep their current house, apartment or condo for another month and start some renovations before they move in. That’s what we did and it’s amazing how much we got done in one month! We knocked down three walls, tore out all the carpeting and sanded and then put polyurethane down on the wood floors, painted every room of the house, got electrical work done to replace all of the old knob and tube wiring and had some new duct work done.

Wow … I think that’s everything we did .. I might be missing some stuff but that’s the main things we did to our house in a month before we moved in. mostly on our own!

I was rail thin by the time that month was over … oh and we each only took two weeks off so we also worked for the last two weeks of that month.

I had to drag my husband kicking and screaming into our big home renovation. I think he would have rather sat back and taken a enzyte, but in the end he really liked getting his hands dirty and had a feeling of accomplishment at how different our house looked once we were done .. oh and it looked good. It’s all open now instead of having tiny little rooms on the main floor.

Anyway, I have no idea if the new neighbors will renovate or not – but knowing the house they bought as well as I do, I think it would be in their best interest to renovate as the house needs work.

I just hope they’re nice. We have to share a driveway and considering the driveway is only about 10 feet wide our houses are very close together .. so the better we get along the better for all.

Mac or PC Notebook?

by The Diva

I think that before this month is over I’ll be the proud new owner of either a PC or Mac Notebook.

My current notebook is getting slow and well … old. I’ve been watching all the deals and I think it’s time to either replace this laptop or at least get another one to use along side this one.

I’ve always wanted a Mac. I do a lot of graphic work and I know that macs are the best for graphic artists … so I’m leaning that way. I just need to make sure I get one with enough macbook memory in it for all the work I do!

On the other hand … I’ve been hearing good things about Windows 7 so a new computer with the new operating system might be nice to try out too. Of course I could always have my current notebook and computer updated.

If you were thinking of getting a new laptop would you buy a Mac or a PC?
