B-Dry is a company offering a basement waterproofing process.

If you have a basement, at the very least you should look at this site. Everyone has those experiences sometimes when their house is surrounded by torrential rain. How would yours cope? Things like blocked drains or cracks that you had never previously thought of could lead to thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Their system sits under the surface of the basement and includes a sump pump that gets rid of extra water pooling around beneath. Sump pumps, as the name implies, pump excess water out.

If you already have a sump pumo, B Dry also offers sump pump replacement. They have a patent on their systems which means they’re pretty much the only player in the market right now.

After parasailing in Pattaya I was getting back into the boat and my foot slip and ouch ouch ouch. All the Thai people I walk past stared at me as I hobbled along!

The day was basically a marathon bus trip to Pattaya. Marathon because of so many stops along the way!

I got to Pattaya eventually and had a nice time. Although I was really taken aback by the sex tourism. It’s 50 times as bad as anything I have seen in Bangkok. I was sitting on the back of a motorbike going down this street and there must have been 25 bars with women out front waiting to get picked up by a foreigner.

It was cool to do parasailing but I wouldn’t recommend Pattaya to a visitor. All the food is in restaurants and not crash hot quality (or at least the meal I had.) Street food so much better…

I would have gone from Pattaya to Coral Island (which is what a lot of people recommend) but I did nae get the time.

First, here’s a video I made about an embarrassing moment.

Even when moments are embarrassing they can form some of your best memories.

I’ve made this video about “coming out of your shell” because Be Oyster Aware has made a website detailing the potential health risks that Gulf oysters and other popular oysters can have.

Some people shouldn’t eat raw oysters! They have more information on their site, but it’s possible that you could be vulnerable to a certain kind of bacteria in uncooked oysters. That’s not to take away from your oyster eating enjoyment - just play it safe, and know what you can and can’t eat. Then eat as many as you want!!
