Your Questions About Can You Paint A Hot Tub
John asks…
How do I get rid of a stain-ring on the vinyl lining of my hot tub. I’ve tried bleach and acid toilet cleaner
Maybe I can just paint over it using a Vinyl Paint spray, such as you would use to repaint a car’s dashboard (it’s much the same, like a leather texture). The concern is that the paint would peel or bubble, being under (hot) water. Someone out there must’ve done this before. Rejuvenating this thing would be great. Thanks, Mike.

Donald asks…
Would You Spend Money on This? If you love to party and u r 15 – 18 click here?
i would really like to know what you think before i go and spend money on my idea. i throw sik partys. because i dont want them to be unoriginal, i want them to be crazy fun, i spend a shiitload of money. fireworks, bonfire pit, hot tub rental, glowstick paint, exotic snacks, giveaways, each time its different. nevermind the booze and cocktails. people say im extremely nice, but really im just throwing it for me 
so im thinking about charging all my friends and their friends $12-40 dollars for membership a year. the cost depends because the passes are in the form of charms:
guys: black or white knife (you can attach to belt, or for any of my friends who wear those tag necklaces) $20, or Brass Knuckles (that you can use ) $40, just a simple tag with my logo on it $15, or $20 a mini vodka bottle (some of them smoke so they need a place store store their kush), and so on.
girls: a perfume bottle charm $30, silver heart charm $20, vintage key $20, small firey red vintage tag $12 (unisex), and so on.
all the charms will have my logo on them. you need your charm or token or whatever to get into my parties. you can go to 1 party without. if you have a charm you can bring your friends (that i dont know). Then if they like my parties they can buy their passes too.
i need to know if this is a good idea. should i spend money on these charms? do you think this is a good idea? i will make alot of money that i can budget on my parties. but this is only if people buy. im thinking to just buy 20 different charms at first and see if it works out.
anyways, What is your opinion? would you buy if one of your friends asked you ? would you buy if an acquaintance asked you? would you buy if someone you just know, or know of asked you?
spafanatic answers:
Sure but if people start not going its probably because they have no money so dont be bumbed out if people dont end up going
Carol asks…
WHo wants EASY, ten points (awesome question, read details)?
What are some games I can play for my sleepover party. You know stuff to do. What is their to avoid? What time should we go to bed? Give me interesting stuff! I already have
Movie
Paint like pottery (picture frame or pot)
Do facials
Water balloon fight
Egg toss
Make bracelets
Paint nails
Pickle (known as sardine)
Hot potato
Truth or dare
Ghost in the graveyard
Make ice cream sundaes
Water Games
Would you rather
Light as a feather, Stiff as a board
Freeze dance
musical chairs
What are some water games or stuff we can do? I have sprinklers, no pools or hot tubs. We have a hose. (of course!) I’m gonna buy water balloons. I wana too like super cool stuff. Not the usual sleepover stuff. Oh we are 11, girls, their are 8 guests (including me), and we are NOT inviting boys! Also what are good movies? You know, pg or g. What did you do at sleepovers. PLEASE DONT GIVE CHEAP ANSWERS! Or else no 10 pts! Yeah also what should I put in the gift bags?
spafanatic answers:
Yay, sleepovers! Those are always fun. Most of the things you have planned sound great, but I would like to make some recoomendations. I wouldn’t suggest having too many structured games, such as painting pottery, egg toss, and hot potato. I think you should do facials, movies, truth or dare is always fun, sardines is still one of my favorite games (i’m 19!) would you rather, light as a feather, painting nails, and making bracelets. Instead of freeze dance and muical chairs, you should make two groups and have each come up with a dance routine and have a dance off. I used to do this and it was always a great hit. You can even make costumes and do eachothers makeup for the performance. Antother thing my friends and i walways do is build forts in the living rooms. Just take chairs, couches, whatever, and drape blankets over them to make a tent. You can tell ghost stories in there or whatever. You should definitely do a water fight! I had one just the other day and it was awesome. If it’s cold outside you can fill the balloons with warm water, like I did. You could have a flashlight waterfight in the dark. So basically I would avoid things that could come off as young (egg toss, hot potato, musical chairs) and do fun things like truth or dare, have a dance off, sardines, facials, make-overs, and waterfight. Oh, and of course movies! Some good pg movies are: the sisterhood of the traveling pants, nacho libre, napolean dynamite, shrek, freaky friday, and the best movie ever would have to be The Princess Bride. It is a really funny movie, so you should definitely check it out. Stay up as late as you want to, be silly, and have fun! Sleepovers are the best! I hope this helped and i hope your party is a hit!

Susan asks…
Favourite thing about your honeymoon?
I’m getting married in a week but I’m way more excited about the honeymoon!
We’re been together for almost 4 years but haven’t had sex.. so there will obviously be a lot of that.
But besides sex, what did you love about your honeymoon?!
I’m excited for sleep ins, good food, complete relaxation, pools and beaches, the indoor fire and spa’s at two of the places we’re staying.. and just spending time being married.
What was your honeymoon experience like?
spafanatic answers:
We drove to an our of town destination for our honeymoon, we left at about 10am and got there for 1pm ish , we checked into our hotel room and had all intentions on deciding where to begin our honeymoon, I think we both plopped on the bed at the same time, embraced for a moment and BOOM, lights out for both of us- we woke up at seriously 7pm, hungry! Made it to the lobby pub for a drink and some grub and went back upstairs and I had the best bath in the BIGGEST tub ive ever seen in my life, we tried to pour the champagne and make it special but we were both just so exhausted from the wedding itself lol
the next morning though we had some fun and were tourists and made up for the evening before for sure, but that first night was actually one of my favorite parts of my honeymoon, it felt so good to know neither of us had to force ourselves to get up and go and we both had a lot of fun just relaxing and catching up on sleep after the chaos of the wedding
Linda asks…
what to do in cairo????? help?
things to do in cairo for girls??
like is there good spas‘? or theme parks? etc…
and what about indoor swimming pools?
thanks
spafanatic answers:
There is City Starz mall in Nasr City.. Its HUGE and has like over 250 stores.. It will take you days to go through all of it!
There is a theme park called Dream Park that is nice.. But its nothing compared to a theme park in America for example.. It only has one rollercoaster and a few other amusing rides.. But it is fun!
As for spas, I’m not sure.. But there are beauty places everywhere that you can get your nails/hair/waxing done.. Very nicely too!
Indoor pools.. You can try out any sporting club they will have lots of things to do.. There is a small fee but it is fun! I would recommend the club in Heliopolis.. They have a gym, track, pool etc and I had a lot of fun going with my friends there. 
Mandy asks…
Looking for a place to go on honeymoon in August 2010?
Not fussy at all… but here are the requirements for around a £3,000 budget.
a) Preferably all inclusive
b) Indoor Pool & Outdoor Pool (We like the indoor pools with water jets!)
c) Somewhere reasonably hot, but not boiling!
d) Must have a spa centre
e) Somewhere on the beach preferably
The last holiday we went on, we stayed in Rhodes at the Rodos Palladium which was fantastic! It had all of the above and more.
I would prefer to travel with Thomson as they have been excellent time and time again. I have been looking at the Riu Yucatan in Mexico which ticks all the right boxes, and also the Grand President in Sorrento, but it’s a bit expensive and is only half board.
Thank you for your advice and help!
spafanatic answers:
Mexico weather could be a little unsettled, its likely to be humid and there is the risk of a hurricane between June and October.
What about the Greek Islands, you clearly enjoyed Rhodes, what about Elounda in Crete, or one of the quieter islands such as Naxos, Parga. Santorini has some beautiful accommodation also.
Thailand, again beautiful and very inexpensive whilst there, though can be a little humid and subject to some rainfall, though not to the same extent as the Caribbean.
Jenny asks…
What is this sickness?
Hey, alright, i was at work today(i work at an indoor pool) and i felt really faint and nauseous, about 2 minutes later my vision went all black and i couldn’t see for about 20seconds. i made it to a chair where i could rest. once i was able to walk again, i went and got some food and it seemed to help a bit. My vision also goes all the way black when ever i get out of the spa as well, could these things be related?
spafanatic answers:
Do you have headaches too? Im thinking migraine.
Or
is it hot where you work (indoor pools tend to be) and heat can make you feel like that.
Or
could be low blood sugar levels.
Or
could be low blood pressure
the possibilities are endless, see a doctor they’ll do tests and you’ll know for sure.

Your Questions About Best Hot Tub Deals
Ken asks…
So which truly is the BEST in COLORADO?
I am a soldier currently deployed to Afghanistan and I will be coming home for a little R&R in February shortly before Valentines Day. I am planning a very romantic trip for my girlfriend of 3 1/2 years and myself, and I have this image in my head of what I want, but no clue if even such a place exists. So, I am wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on the best place to book a vacation in Colorado based off my criteria. I want to get a cabin in the woods by a lake type deal, but still quite close to the slopes for some skiing. I want a private hot tub, fireplace, etc…basically the works! This is quite possibly going to be the most memorable vacation of our lives because, as I said, we’ve been dating for 3 1/2 years…and the time has come for that question, get me? I want the setting, the mood, everything to be perfect. Any suggestions??
spafanatic answers:
Take a look at the article I’ve written with ideas for romantic snow vacations, 2 are in Colorado- 1 Steamboat Springs and 1 in Twin Lakes just west of Aspen. Aspen is beautiful, but its super upscale, snobby, expensive.. If you want super ritzy that would be it, but I prefer Leadville and you can ski at Ski Cooper there too. Steamboat Springs is a combination of Aspen and Leadville- really beautiful area and lots of ritzy and medium priced resorts. Take a look at these and you’ll get more details too, I also have one of the ski resorts with info on lodging, etc so that might help as well:

George asks…
Is it ok to go skinny dipping with a co worker?
I was invited over to my co worker Jackies house and she has a big hot tub and it was basically her, co workers Laura and Tiffany. We actually are all just good friends and colleagues but this time the happy hour took a weird turn. Laura, Jackie, and Tiffany all wanted to go into the hot tub and they had their suits with them and I didn’t. So, I respectfully declined but Jackie said just go nude and it wasnt a big deal. So after twisting my arm by all the ladies (yes we were drinking) I took off all my clothes and the second I got nude, I felt really weird because there I stood there about an inch and I felt as if it was six eyes just ogling at me before I got in the hot tub trying their best not to laugh at it. But while we were in the tub, I felt weird the entire time being naked. No sexual contact took place but as a guy, I did get an erection and it wouldnt come down. When we all got out, there I was with a 3.5 inch erection and then giggles came. Did I make a mistake?
spafanatic answers:
It is not a mistake. First, they gave u the go-signal. Second, you are just being yourself. No need to be embarrassed. You are friends anyway. And there’s no malice at all. Congratulations for being soo brave. He he he. The world needs guys like you.
Mandy asks…
Pregnant and dealing w/ future MIL who invited ex gf that fianc’e cheated on me with to funeral?
I had a funeral to attend for fianc’e mom’s side. I helped out the best I could by getting the deceased outfit together and spending many hours making a photo collage (tri-fold- like a big scrapbook page.) This was to be my fianc’e mom’s job- but i took it of her plate.I kept out select photos that would involve any embarassing past moments/loves. And all photos dealing with potential infidelity of the deceased.
Well- at the funeral turns out his mom invited past gf that he cheated on my with. Yes she knows- she was on the trip- and this was to a special place for the both of us- so I thought. He lied all about it and who she was- but I have photos the mom took of them in the hot tub- her in the bed- their hands all over each other. Very hurtful.
This is not the first time the woman has shown up at family functions. Is a heads up too much to ask?
Partner thinks I should suck it up and put on a happy face and deal with it/ get over it. I asked him how everyone would feel if I had invited the said person in the photos or used any of those? Should they suck it up and get over it. I just wanted some understanding- yet I could not even find him when she was there all that time- finally did- with his mom.
Future MIL has done many hurtful things to me in the past. (Borderline illegal things.) And I thought as we went through all those photo albums that things would be different. Yet still I remained guarded- as she seems to always back-stab me somehow.
Oh- and BTW I am pregnant and really not feeling well at all. :p
I understand the future MIL can have whom she pleases to make her feel better. Just to let me know would have been nice. Or to even say she meant to or ??? Yes, and pregnancy hormones do make me feel nutso sometimes .. :0
So what is the best way to deal with this type of thing? TU.
I am actually staring to believe she did it on purpose. Obviously infidelity was discussed beforehand- as we looked through all those albums. Obviously so was being respectful and not using ones that showed ex’s etc. I guess I was really hoping that I WOULD not be the one to have to tell her what bad manners it was. As if my family did that to my pregnant fiance’ I would sure let them know that it was NOT appreciated.
So what is the best way to deal with it? Send the mother/family a note to tell them I will no longer attend these things?
Oh- in the past- she has allowed my fiance’s teen to steal and destroy my propery- I found out a few days later and as he was screaming at me that these things now belonged to her- she chimed in that she knew for two days and kept quiet. Then even after that- I tried to have a nice family dinner. (Fiance’, his two teens, her and my dd.) First thing she says is how “I can’t believe I am here- when I have company down at my place and I should be .
Teens ask who- and it is the ex gf- and they now want to go and see her. This also very much hurt my dd. (Oh, and fiance’ was not even at the dinner- as he ran to see a friend.)
spafanatic answers:
Your fiance should have made it clear to his mother that the woman he cheated on you with was not to be asked to come. If she came of her own free will, she has a lot of balls in my opinion, and she’s a word I won’t say on here. Future MIL is an effing beotch and should be kicked in the shin every time you see her, along with your fiance! First, you’re pregnant. Stress is not good for you and your baby. That’s one reason to get that woman out of your face. If MIL needs her to make her feel better,she should have enough respect for you to let her console her out of your presence. Second, for finace to say to “suck it up”….I would have punched him in the face. If he won’t tell his mother to stop asking his ex skank to functions, then I wouldn’t marry this piece of crap anyhow. Sounds like a Momma’s boy who has no clue outside of what she tells him. I’m not saying he’s cheating right now, but any man with a conscience would make sure that woman was no where around ya’ll. MIL sounds like a real piece of work, too. I bet she still has pictures up of your fiance and his ex, too. RUN away from this messed up family as quickly as you can. You’d hate to be married to the guy and having his ex sitting across from you at the dang table at Thanksgiving! Sorry you have to go through this.
Robert asks…
i can’t put up with HERR in his life anymore!!?
here’s the deal — my best guy friend and i talk about everything. we don’t hang out that much anymore just because of different work/sports/school/etc schedules anymore,, but we’re still really close.
but my other friend, a girl, recently started hanging out with him alot. i guess it started out with like two times i couldn’t make it or whatever, and i was really excited because i’m also friends with her!
but now she makes fun of me in front of him all the time, and he’s always really busy doing things with her and his other friends.. ((who i’ve never really gotten too close to, but that never changed how close we were)).. and lately she’s been really flirty,, like OVER the top. ((asking how her boobs look in a shirt, inviting him to her hot tub..))
and she’s got a boyfriend! who she just got back together with!!
and through all this i can’t even get a word in with either of them. and i don’t feel like calling him anymore because she’s always with him!
but today at school she was sick.. and he and i were back to normal,,, and it was so much nicer. i missed him like hell, and i realized that there’s no way i want to lose him as a friend.
so how do i deal with her!!!??
spafanatic answers:
U guys share everytthing rite/ then tell him how u feel and if things dont change then u have to take action. Start hanging out more with him than her and totaly tell her strait out that shes like almost on the verge of cheating on her boyfriend and u dont think thats rite

uhm,, yeah,, i KNOW i’m jealous
spafanatic answers:
I would let him know that I miss our friendship before her and tell him that we should hang out and talk when she is not around. I would also tell her that I don’t appreciate being made fun of period. If she likes him then maybe she will admit it to you but she should be spending time with her bf versus him, If you have feelings for him, then let her know if she is a real friend then she will back off. Good luck… Seems to be a lot of drama. It almost makes you regret “inviting” her to the friendship between you two. Just realize that he was your friend first and you 2 have a special bond and it is probably worth fighting for.

how do i close my hot tub for the winter?
Hi guys…I live in new jersey.. and I need to close my hot tube now. should i empty it out? I jus moved into the house and dont have a manual..any suggestions as to what i need to do in order for me to close the hot tub and not waste anymore electricty? I have a cover for it..is it useful?
spafanatic answers:
If you can handle the electric bills, keep it open and use it! Nothing finer than sitting in the hot tub with snow on the ground sipping hot cocoa with friends and lovers! If not, you can keep it filled but you will want to keep it circulating and keep the minimum amount of chems in it. If you want to go total dormant, then you want to check to see if your tub is gonna ‘float’ if you empty it. If you can drain it without it popping out of the ground your in like flint! Just drain it and clean the walls then best to put a cover over it. Good luck!
Paul asks…
hot tub lid/cover?
Can anyone tell me the name of a HotTub lid/cover that wont get watter logged or heavy. I need to buy one that lasts longer than 2 years.
spafanatic answers:
Unfortunately, it seam to be inevitable, they all take on water eventually. The best suggestion I can give you is, if you live in a colder climate, use a winter cover on the hot tub and store the foam filled cover in a dry place. This will prolong the life quite a bit.
Nancy asks…

Covering it will definitely keep the heat from escaping. Covering it will heat it faster.

Sandra asks…
Is a jacuzzi that hasn’t been used in 4 years going to work ok?
We saw an ad for a free jacuzzi in our local classifieds, they just need it out by Sat. They say it still works, but hasn’t been used in 4 years. It also needs 2 sides of paneling replaced. It will take a tremendous amount of work on our part to rent a stakebed, recruit 8 guys, and get the thing in our backyard. We’ve always wanted a jacuzzi, but I’m in school f/t right now so our finances SUCK.
I know 2 people who have acquired jacuzzis this way, and they work fine, so it’s not necessarily going to end badly – but it has the potential to.
What do you guys thing?
Worth it?
spafanatic answers:
You get what you pay for. Why are they giving it away if it works? Have them fire it up right there. If it works OK, you just have to drain it and deal with the fact that it will be a little wet. If it goes off like a lawn sprinkler in a heat wave, then you know it’s a bad deal.
Gaskets dry out. PVC pipe gets a chalky dust on it, inside and out. The least of your problems would be that the motor would ingest some of this junk before it started to leak, then you would be out the dough for the motor, and the other expenses. Did the other two people get ones that had not been used in four years?
Smells kind of fishy to me, since it has not been used. If’s so good, why did they not use it?! If it was me, and I was cash tight, I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. (Even if the pole had an extension!) Good luck if you get it!

Your Questions About My Sundance Film Festival
Jenny asks…
What does the Sundance Film Festival represent for the cinema?
I know what the sundance film festival is but my professor asked that specific question in an essay and I am afraid I am not answering it correctly.
So if anyone has an idea please help me.
spafanatic answers:
The festival is a great place show many independent films that are not realeased to mainstrem audiences. Thus, it provides a chance for many film markers to show case their talents with out worrying about box office succes. At the festival many films from other countries are shown as well. However, in recent years the film festival has not somewhat of its sprit because many hollywood celebrites show up to promote movies they made or show that they can really act.
Awards are handed out for many of the films too. Plus, there is sometimes a underdog that gets mainstream success or oscar nods
examples are little miss sunshine, napoleon dynamite, clerks, garden state and the blair witch project
Helen asks…
Where to ski during the Sundance film festival?
I found a good deal on airfare to Salt Lake City, so I randomly picked a weekend to go.
Unfortunately, not only did I pick a weekend in the middle of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, I also picked a holiday weekend (MLK day).
So, my question is, where would be a good place to ski this weekend to avoid the crowds? I figure Park City, Canyons and Deer Valley will all be slammed. Does that mean the rest of the resorts near the city will be relatively light? Or will everywhere be pretty much packed?
spafanatic answers:
Sundance is a mixed bag. On one hand, the hotels will be packed with filmmakers and celebrities and not people coming into town for skiing. On the other hand, the celebrities and filmmakers still want to ski. Unless you ski the black diamond runs, you will most likely find the Park City-area slopes busy during the middle of the day. Also, Park City [downtown] will be extremely crowded, so if you go there, make reservations for restaurants and take the free shuttles and not your car.
The other resorts in the SLC area should be average attendance. Yes, it’s a holiday weekend, but that also means that a lot of the locals will be leaving town and not going skiing. Expect Saturday and Monday to be busier than Sunday. Afternoons are always lighter; some resorts offer free skiing after 3.

What do I have to do to submit a short film for next year’s Sundance film festival?
I want to submit a short film for next year’s Sundance, but I am not part of any studio, and I don’t have my own company or anything. I have made no films that got a lot of attention or anything. How, if even possible, would I go about submitting a short film to the festival? Thanks in advance =)

Your Questions About 2 Person Hot Tub
Joseph asks…
Is this real love? (:?
Me and this guy have been dating for almost 5 months. Guys who i normally date, I get tired of within 2 months or less. Me and him text each other throughout the day, and at night talk on the phone. I can be my complete self in front of him, which I usually cant even so with my closest friends sometimes. I go over to his house or he comes to my house every weekend and we hang out for 5 or 6 hours just cuddling on the couch, watching tv, hot tub, some kissing, and a lot of laughing and talking. I honestly could cry even just thinking about breaking up with him. He says he will always be there for me and he could not be with a better person. He tells me i am his dream girl. I can’t imagine myself with anyone else. The thing is, we are both 14 years old. Could it be real love? If it’s not, I don’t know what is..
spafanatic answers:
If it was real love, you wouldn’t be asking this question. You would just know. Also, love isn’t measured by how many dates you’ve been on, how long you’ve been dating or anything like that. You can’t define love so we reallly can’t tell you if you’re in love or not. It’s something only you can know.
Ruth asks…

Any of the following unwanted behavior may constitute sexual harassment.

Thanks in advance

6- ‘accidentally’ brushing sexual parts of the body

10- pressure for dates
11- sexually explicit gestures
12- unwelcome touching and hugging

14- sabotaging women’s work
15- sexist and insulting graffiti
16- demanding, “Hey, baby, give me a smile”

32- indecent exposure
If you don’t agree with this list could you please state which are the issues that you think are not sexual harassment and why.
I see there is a lot of confusion about this list. I should have explained. This list attracted my attention, it was NOT me that wrote it. I saw it in a site…therefore I wanted your opinions…as I have my own doubts and I didn’t wanted to make it gender specific…I should explained this before hand
spafanatic answers:
I’ll list all the things that have happened to me, but I don’t see all of them as sexual harrassment.
1- leering
2- wolf whistles
3- discussion of one’s partner’s sexual inadequacies
4- sexual innuendo
5- comments about women’s bodies
9- graphic descriptions of pornography
10- pressure for dates
11- sexually explicit gestures
12- unwelcome touching and hugging
13- sexual sneak attacks, (e.g., grabbing breasts or buttocks )
16- demanding, “Hey, baby, give me a smile”
17- inappropriate invitations (e.g., hot tub)
18- sexist jokes and cartoons
21- public humiliation
22- obscene phone calls
24- insisting that workers wear revealing clothes
25- inappropriate gifts (ex. Lingerie)
29- soliciting sexual services
31- leaning over , invading a person’s space
Of those, the only ones I view as unwanted sexual harrassment are 3, 10, 12, 21, 22, 24 and 31.
Wolf whistling, jokes, innuendo and gestures are harmless and I wouldn’t say they’re serious enough to be classed as harrassment.
I’ve received what some people may see as “inappropriate” invitations and gifts, but I was quite flattered… A simple no thank you was all I needed to say. Same with soliciting sexual services. It would become harrassment if he continued to push the idea, but there’s no harm in asking once.
I think harrassment is something which makes you feel uncomfortable or humiliated… Of course that’ll be different for everyone. But I really don’t think that being wolf whistled at is going to cause anyone any damage.
As for sexual assault, indecent exposure and inappropriate touching, I think they’re too serious to only be considered harrassment.

Laura asks…
Crippling back pain at the age of 32?
Ok well this is not me, but there is a person who is very close to me. she is only 32 and I’m very concerned.
Here’s the story:
she- ( let’s call her ann) So ann was sitting on the floor (carpet) for about 2-3 hours sorting papers. she changed her position every once and a while (I.E. she crossed and uncrossed legs) but she was always sitting.after she was finished she tried to get up but couldn’t. so Ann sat there for a few moments gathering her strength to stand up and go lie down.
It has been about three days since then and the pain hasn’t gotten better. (If anything it’s worse) The pain is mostly centered in the lower back area. She has tried ice packs, Tiger Balm, hot tub, sleeping, all to no avail. What could be causing this pain? It has almost gotten to the point of tears! What can be done to reduce the pain? should we go to the doctor?
spafanatic answers:
Go to chiropractor, the discs have moved in her spine, mine moved 30 yrs ago, L4 an L5, it is quite painful, cannot bend, no more lifting heavy weights for you Ann, bend bring weight to chest in gripping motion, stand up, thats how’ll it be forever
I have been visiting Chiro at least once a month after putting back out, your lifestyle has changed
Chris asks…
Do guys judge you when you are having sex….?
I am a very self conscious person when it comes to my body. I think i’m chubby and not attractive at all. My boyfriend tells me how much he loves me (we’ve been dating for 2 months) and i love him too very much. When ever he suggests we go in the hot tub i wont because i wont put on a bathing suit. He had never seen my body (other then wearing tight clothes) and he tells me not to worry so much and that i’m skinny and he loves me. Eventually I want to have sex with him (i’m a virgin) but not until i am ready (i’m only 17 so not yet) but how can i get over this worrying about my body thing, could he jsut be saying that but thinking i’m chubby? would he judge me if we did have sex? if it helps im 5’6 128 pounds. Thanks
“ML88″ Not even 17? What i’m turning 18 in a few months.. and I do love him.
Thanks for all the answers so far.
spafanatic answers:
Oh honey, I go thru the same thing…
Honestly, it sounds to me that this guy really doesn’t care what you might look like naked. If he loves you then he DOES think you are beautiful NO MATTER WHAT.
If you finally decide to have sex first, try sex with the lights off. That might help u loosen up.. Or sex under blankets.. Until you get more comfortable… If he cares what u look like, then do u really wanna be with him anyways?
BTW, boys are turned off by you being self conscious.. And i know it’s really hard to NOT be.. I am the SAME WAY…
LOL! I just asked my BF what he would say to you.. And he said “The same thing I would say to you” lol.. So yeah, i go thru it too.
Continuously tell yourself that there are plenty of ppl that would LOVE to have your body. Plenty of ppl would love to have your legs, your arms, your stomach.. W/e
Don’t trip potato chip! And good luck!

Your Questions About Jetted Tubs Parts
Ruth asks…
odor problem in bathroom?
I have an odor problem in my master bath and believe the septic odor may be coming from the jetted tub. I have had plumbers and septic tank tech inspect and service the plumbing and septic systems and none have helped with controlling the odor. The drain line apparently is vented properly, is not stopped up and all lines appear to be clear. We have used the jetted tub about 10 times during its 15 year old life. Still working good, just the odor which began about 3 months ago. I have applied mixture of Clorox / water and run the pump, but within 24 hrs, the odor returns. I am unable to view the p trap on the tub, but assume the p trap was installed properly at time the house was built. Any ideas of how the tub – water jets , etc may be playing a part in this issue? Any assistance would be appreciated. When sinks and shower are plugged odor continues to be a problem. Pump is MagnaTek , can’t locate the model # but there is a CAT 8027 that is legible. Thanks
spafanatic answers:
Are you sure your wax ring under the toilet isn’t cracked or worn out? Are you keeping the trap full of water? Could your drain line under the tub be cracked or one of the nylon seals in the trap/overflow line be cracked allowing gas to enter around the tub?
Donna asks…
marine corps emblem tiles.?
I work with a former marine. this guy spends his day helping people, and its allways nice when I can help him. Iam in the process of remodeling his bathroom. we installed a new very big jetted tub, and he wants to put marble around it, but we are going to tile the walls and part of the floor. He is still very much a marine, and is involved with the reserve, does toys for tots and alot of other things that require him to give of himself. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where i could get floor and/or wall tiles with the marine corps emblem on them. it would make his day. thanks….
spafanatic answers:
Try grunt.com. The cost for the tiles might be prohibitive when purchased retail, even though Grit’s has great prices. But the staff might be able to direct you to a wholesale supplier. Plus, you can request a catalog that will thrill your leatherneck friend.
Thanks for making a Marine happy! God bless both you and your friend. May your generosity and goodwill be multiplied back to you a hundredfold.
(BTW, Marine is ALWAYS capitalized when referring to the Corps.)

What’s the movie called, with the guy in the hot tub?
What’s the movie called where they live on the montains, and they’re trying to save it from getting bought by some other guy. They all snowboard, and they hang out at this one bar all the time.
There’s a part when the guy is real drunk and they put him in his car and make him think he’s crashing when he wakes up.
Than there’s a part where a bear likes the guys balls. And they is a part where the guy sticks his dick in the jets in the hot tub and gets it stuck.

Poll: Shower or bubble bath?
If a girl over 18, would you force a guy to take a bubble bath? Or would you overflow a jetted-tub so he’d have to get in? Would you drag me in? Girls 18 and older can answer the second part. Everybody can answer the first part.

George asks…
I had my period and a week after it ended I started getting brown stuff coming out?
I had my period and it lasted the normal week. A week after it ended I started having this brown stuff come out. I’ve been wearing a pad, but it hasn’t filled up the pad. It doesnt smell too pleasant, but prolly just the smell of the old blood which I am guessing it is. When I wipe brown stuff is left on the tp, and also stuff comes out into the toilet… When I get turned on and I get wet, I go to the bathroom, and it comes out red, or dark red. Looks fresh. I dont understand it, and I dont know if I should see a doctor. It has been over a week now, and is still coming out like it started. It is not heavy like a period in any way though. Also a day or 2 before this started I was in a jacuzzi, and we cleaned the tub part, but didnt think about the water that was left inside the jets. A little while after bein in there I noticed white stuff floating and thought its possible to be old sperm from someone else. I didnt think much of it then and had sex in it, so the water got inside. Help
spafanatic answers:
It’s pretty normal for brown discharge to come out before and after a period. The brown is either your body cleaning itself up naturally or it could be old blood that didn’t come out during your period. It’s nothing to worry about unless it goes on for over a week. Then you should see a doctor.

Does anyone have any information about the Carnival Legend cruise ship?
I am going on the Carnival Legend cruise ship and I wanted to know if anyone had any pictures of the ship, the swimming pools, and other areas. Are the swimming pools heated. What about the indoor pool. I know that the indoor pool is located in the SPA area. Do passengers have free access to the indoor pool or do you have to pay a fee to use the SPA facilities?
spafanatic answers:
I just got back from a cruise on the Legend And i did not see a indoor pool and the outdoor pools are unheated and salt water. To get massages and manicures and pedicures the spa cost but, facilities like the work out equipment and sauna and steam room are free.
Sandra asks…
If you went there, what did you think of the Great Wolf Lodge Resort?
What did you think of the overall place? The service? The restaurants and food? The indoor waterparks? Spa? Fitness Center? Pretty much everything
spafanatic answers:
I have been to two of them and love going there. First of all the waterparks are great, we always have a great time. The good thing is they are never over crowded like some of the other water parks. Kids of all ages will have fun going down the slides. Also the staff here is just great, they take care of your every need. The Front Desk is always helpful, with things at the hotel and helping you find things out of the hotel to do. The rooms are large and very clean, we have never had a problem with anything missing or the room not being cleaned for the day. We really enjoy eating at the Kritter Bar and Grille they always have great food, at there a couple times when we stayed there, again the service was great and took care of all of our needs. There is a lot to choose from on the menue and even kids with picky eating taste will find something. They also have a little snack shop wich we found very helpful. They also have a cafe that has donuts and stuff like that but most importantly my morning Starbucks…nice touch. Can’t tell you much about the fitness room did not use it sorry, too much playing in the waterpark no need to go work out. The spa was really nice, only had a facial and my nails done but, again the staff was wonderful and I did enjoy my alone time at the spa. I guess it depends what Lodge you stay at but the one in KS and the one in the Dells and there was a ton of stuff to do in the area around the lodge. Also the kids really enjoyed the arts and crafts room and the arcade…be sure to bring quaters or money for the change machine. I think you will have a great time, I really feel that the lodge is a great value and we always have a great time. I hope this helps have a great trip!!!!

Also, does anyone know if they do those delicious cadbury’s highlights in an actual tub instead of the little sachets?
or maybe someone can suggest a hot chocolate that is closest to that where you just add water.
This is a very important question as i want to go to the shop to get hot chocolate
Thanks

Betty asks…
what kind of hot tub?
i am planning to get a hot tub once i get my tax returns. what are the best brands i can get??
spafanatic answers:
Brands to look at their mid range. Cal Spas(Victory), Dimension 1(@ home), Hotsprings (Tiger river), Sundance (680 series), and Master Spa’s (Downeast). These manufactures are the best out there that have been around for on average 30 years. Their dealers should be very good. Most of them above have an entry level, mid range and premium line. Be sure the warranty covers labor and try to get 5 years at least on equipment. Wwwpoolandspacom is a good place to go and compare. (fan of the downeast line)
If your going to settle on the Premium I would look at Sundance, Masterspa and Hot Springs.
Sandy asks…
what is the most reliable spa/hot tub for home use?
I have been told that Jacuzzi and Sundance were the two best brands. I want to buy a 5-6 person spa. Are these hard to install? Should I even attempt a DIY project with this?

Thermospa is great! No matter who you purchase from, your gonna love it!
David asks…
Hot tub Suggestions…?
We are looking for a 6 person limit with a price range no hgher the 5,000$ and the color we want is a red wood or mahogany with a sahara color shell. Good brand and a good warranty and no more then 60 jets , any suggestions on what hot tub would be best for us?
and the price can be a little over 5000$ , the colors we would like to be simaler to what i said and well thats it =D
But the inside shell can pretty much be anything
spafanatic answers:
Hmm How about looking at the Down East Spas. Good bang for the buck by Masterspa actually. I would have suggested the Windsor model but it has 66 jets. Do realize that it is more the Flow rate that you need to know. Alot of jets do no good if they have little GPM flow rate. Cal Spas has a CR 51. Hawthorne or Burlington by Sundance. Dimension 1′s @home series the wayfarer(even though I am not a fan of D1). Do realize all wood will be a lot of maintenence and most manufactures now use synthetics. Do know this….40% is the standard markup!!! Personally I would buy the Windsor. Only a 3 year warranty, but good Balboa electronics, Great pumps, Steel frame, synthetic cabinet, option of full insulation (do it!), good manufacture that has been around. No matter what it’s warranty warranty and will the local dealer be there for you. Check with the BBB about them.
NEW – Might look at Baja too out of NC. I work on very few of them.
