Want to date a Geek?

by

Are you a geek or what some might consider a nerd? Have you had trouble finding a date using traditional big name dating services in the past? It’s no wonder if you have, as these sites don’t tend to match people by their interests or personalities as much as they do by looks.

Why don’t you visit Geek 2 Geek – Geek dating and give them a try?

At Geek 2 Geek you can list all of your interests and I mean all the ones that would be considered nerdy and that you’d likely not be able to select on a traditional dating site.

The creator of Geek 2 Geek, Spencer Koppel, started the service in 2004 when his daughter Laina was having trouble finding men with similar interests to date. Father and daughter created a set of profile questions that would be suitable for geeks. They also developed a scoring system that would match people according to what each person had listed as their most important dating criteria.

Geek 2 Geek has been making successful matches with their unique scoring system. Why not give them a try. You can sign up for a free account, create a profile and explore the features.

We really need to replace our broken mailbox

by

I feel like a broken record. We need a new mailbox so bad and I haven’t managed to get out and get a new one. We’ve need a new mailbox for oh at least six months. The hinge on ours doesn’t work very well anymore. It’s noisy and stays open most of the time. When you try to shut the mailbox it almost feels like the lid is going to break.

I found a company that sells a number of different types of mailboxes online. They have everything from residential mailboxes to commercial mailboxes. We’ve got a small house and virtually no front yard so I need something that suits a small house.

at Mailboxixchange.com I really shouldn’t have trouble finding what I need. They’ve apparently got over 1500 mailboxes!

I’d love to get a mailbox that stands on a post, but as I said we’ve got a very small front yard and I don’t think that style would really suit our house or even our neighborhood. The mailbox we currently have is a wall mount style and I think that we’ll stick with that type if only I can find something that I really like.

I’ve barely scratched the surface browsing the site, but so far I like what I see as there’s some very nice styles of mailboxes. If you’re looking for a new mailbox visit the site and see if you can find something that suits your home.

Planning our kitchen remodel

by

I want to bounce an idea off of you.

We’re planning our kitchen renovation. The reno won’t happen for a while, but it’s good to plan.

Our kitchen is fairly small. Maybe 18 feet long by 10 feet wide. Since our kitchen is on the small side, and since we tend to eat either in the living room, I’m ashamed to say while watching TV, or in the dinning room at a very nice dinning room table we really don’t need a kitchen table.

I have two ideas.

One is to knock out part of the wall between the kitchen and dinning room. It would end up looking like an open rectangular window with a nice counter on it. I thought perhaps that we could set that area up as a breakfast nook with bar stools in front of it. We could sit there and eat, or if we were entertaining a guest or two could sit on a bar stool and talk to me while I work in the kitchen.

My other idea is to leave the kitchen walls intact, but to get a cupboard, perhaps on wheels, that would most often be near the kitchen window but that could be used moved around the kitchen and used as extra counter space if necessary. I guess it would be a movable kitchen island? I could even have some really nice folding chairs that I could store in the corner of the room and if we wanted to we could sit at this nice cupboard/ kitchen island if we wanted to.

What do you think of those ideas? If you had a small kitchen and were faced with those choices which one would you pick?

Need a replacement spa cover for your hot tub?

by

My husband would love nothing more than if we got a hot tub. In the last few years a number of our friends and relatives have purchased hot tubs and he wants to join the crowd. I’m sure we’ll get one eventually.

For those of you who are already lucky enough to have a hot tub of your own – Do you have a high quality, durable Spa Cover or are you in need of a new cover?

The Cover Guy specializes in hot tub covers. There are three quality levels to choose from – Standard, Deluxe and Extreme. It appears that the main difference between the levels are the size and the taper which would allow debris, snow and ice to run off the cover.

I believe that most hot tubs come with a cover or that you have the option to purchase one when you buy your tub. Unfortunately the cover that you might select at the time of purchase might not hold up over time or might not be durable enough to withstand extreme weather conditions.

That’s where The Cover Guy comes in. Their replacement covers are designed specifically for harsh climates. They state that their covers perform better than any other covers available and that they also last longer.

Visit the site and have a look for yourself. As I said there are three levels to choose from.

The standard cover is four inches thick and tapered to two inches. It’s been designed for moderate climates. This cover has two lockable straps for security.

The deluxe cover is apparently the number one selling cover in North America. It’s four inches thick and tapers to 3 inches and it’s been designed for harsh winter climates. It’s said that this cover can also save you some money on your energy bill as it has a specially designed heat lock hinge seal.

The extreme hot tub cover is five inches thick and has a four inch taper. This spa cover has been created for the most extreme climates. If you live in an area that gets heavy snow this is the cover for you as it allows rain, ice and snow to run off easily.

All of the spa covers have an aluminum stiffer down the center to add strength to the cover.

I believe that the Standard, Deluxe and Extreme hot tub covers use high density foam. This foam can withstand heavy loads such as children crawling on the cover, and harsh snow falls. The foam is coated and wrapped in order to allow for minimal water absorption.

The site says that all of their spa covers can be upgraded to a four layer artic heat lock hinge seal. This will help provide energy savings. Since I live in a cold climate I’m certain I’d upgrade if we ever had a hot tub and decided to purchase a replacement cover.

Now what I really like about the Deluxe and Extreme models is that they include four lockable child safety straps. I think it’s really important to protect children around any water source so I’m happy to see this feature.

Another feature of this site that I really like is that for each of the models you can use their hot tub cover building software to create a cover that fits the size and shape of your hot tub. You’ll be able to choose from a selection of marine vinyl cover colors and the type of fold or fold placement.

There are a number of optional features that you might choose for your spa cover as well. You might be interested in a cover lifter, a deluxe spa vacuum, a solar cover, a spa cover cap or even a booster seat.

The Cover Guy pride themselves in their craftsmanship and use only the highest quality materials in the making of your custom spa cover. The prices are wholesale prices since you are dealing directly with the manufacture so you’ll be saving money on a high quality hot tub cover.

If you’re considering getting one of these quality spa covers keep in mind that you’ll also have a five year guarantee. You certainly can’t lose with a five year warranty, particularly if you live in a harsh climate.

The Cover Guy has two locations in Canada and ships to both the USA and Canada.
