Since I just found this neat tool and I have not had time to find any great information products about walk-in bathtubs I decided I would not let this prevent me from playing around with scrolling feeds. I am just learning about using feeds and want to see how they work. For now I am pointing at Clickbank products where I am an affiliate and grabbed 5 random products from the Home and Garden category.
As I learn more about how to use these I can aim them at products needed for your bathroom and especially your bathtub or walk-in bathtub.
Since I was able to get the static feed to work I placed it in the sidebar on the left side. So far I have not been able to get the scroller to work but if I do I will place it under the static one to show the difference.
Ultimately I hope to use feeds to keep up to date information on walk-in bathtubs. This would include things like sales at stores in certain areas and business that are selling walk-in bathtubs which can be hard to find.
Walk-In Bathtub With Hydrotherapy
Hey folks I haven't been here in awhile but I am back today to post a great article I found on the article directory site Ezinearticles.com.
I publish articles over there myself but never about Walk-in Bathtubs.
I have been able to find a wealth of information but alas nothing so far on how long it takes the water to drain from the tub while you are still in it.
Here is the article from Platinum Level Expert Author Euneeka Farrar, just click on the link.

Walk-in Bathtubs Are More Popular Than Ever
I have been scouring the internet and then checking the information I find with a new neighbor who just happens to be a plumber. He confirmed for me that these latest walk-in tubs are extremely well made and that even "regular" tubs are making a come back because of the newer materials that make them much easier to install. Where once you would never dream of placing a tub modern designers are shaping them so they fit and fit well.
There is even more great news on the walk-in bathtub front. With the addition of heaters and water jets and now even air jets these tubs are getting better and better. They are more suited for use by the much healthier retired generation who need these tubs for soothing their aching muscles after a marathon than they do for those worried about slipping and falling.

Bathing Beauties: Body care during your bath means Bubbles
The bath is not just the place where we clean ourselves. It is also where many of us relax. And one of the best ways to relax is to take a Bubble Bath. However, if you want to really be assured of taking a soothing, healthful bath, one where no harmful ingredients have crept into the water that can cause problems with your skin or body, one of the best things you can do is to create a homemade bubble bath. This will not only help enhance your skin, but it will also create a soothing and uplifting feeling of calm and relaxation that is helpful to your mind as well.
When you create your own bubble bath you know that you are taking better care of your body because you are not using the chemicals that can be found in other bubble baths. Additionally, you know that your concoction is fresh, that it hasn’t sat for who knows how long on some shelf somewhere. And when you create your own bubble bath, you naturally learn about the different essential oils and products that can help you better care for your body in and out of the bath.
One of the main ingredients in a homemade bubble bath is an essential oil of some sort. There are many oils that have many different purposes. There is no need to add more than a few drops to your bubble bath, as all oils are rather potent. Allowing your body to relax is part of taking proper care of the body. Soothing relaxation helps the nervous system and has many other health benefits as well, including stress reduction and the control of stress-related conditions like acid reflux. The bath is a perfect time to do this, and many women bring books with them to better help them relax during bath time. The right essential oils can contribute to this.
Or you might select oils for the way they smell. You can choose a scent that you like best from among oils like lavender, rosewood, sandalwood, chamomile, and myrrh, all considered soothing. Be sure to avoid ingesting oils orally, and avoid marjoram during pregnancy. Check with the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy to find out what other oils should be avoided during pregnancy.
It is also important that your body feel energized at times and uplifted. This contributes to mental health and well being as well. It is very difficult to take proper care of the body when the mind is unhappy. Some of the essential oils that can help you with this care of the body are eucalyptus, spearmint, peppermint, and lemon oil. Additionally, eucalyptus can help your body fight cold symptoms, as it reduces congestion. Many people who create their own bubble baths actually make one for relaxing and one for revitalizing, in order to have what the body needs on hand.
Other oils are especially good at softening the skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body, and taking care of the skin is necessary to the proper care of the body. Almond oil and coconut oil are both excellent skin care choices. Almond oil has almost no smell to it, so it does not conflict with any oil you add for scenting purposes. Coconut oil has a nutty and floral fragrance which can help you feel as though you are in an exotic garden. However, it is possible to find scents that complement the coconut oil and provide other effects. In fact, many homemade bubble bath recipes call for the combination of different oils for better effect.
In addition to oils, there are other ingredients that are necessary to make homemade bubble bath. Many of these are found easily and relatively inexpensively at any Bath or Beauty store, such as distilled water, castille soap and liquid glycerin. They are necessary to help create the bubbles, add a liquid form to the bubble bath and to provide a solution for mixing. None of these substances is generally harmful, and they add a great deal to the bubble bath mixture, as they are clean and can be used to clean the body as well as to create bubbles to sit in.
It is easy to improve the care your body gets during a bath when you create your own bubble bath to help you better cope with the general stresses and vagaries of life.

A small bit of history - Roman Baths
Some people think that I am crazy but all I can say is that I am crazy about bathtubs.
To do my readers justice I went over to the Encyclopedia Britannica website and picked up a little history on baths for you and a picture to boot.
Baths of Diocletian, Rome.[Credits : Giovanni Dall’Orto]
Baths were very important to the ancient Romans and they had buildings in every city to house their baths. These bathhouses were both public and private. The terms balnea or thermae were the words the ancient Romans used for the buildings housing their public baths.
Following is an Encyclopedia Britannica article on thermae - Roman Bath:
complex of rooms designed for public bathing, relaxation, and social activity that was developed to a high degree of sophistication by the ancient Romans. Although public baths are known to have existed in early Egyptian palaces, remains are too fragmentary to permit complete analysis of Egyptian types. Bathing occupied an important place in the life of the Greeks, as indicated by the remains of bathing rooms in the palace of Knossos (begun c. 1700 bc). The standardized architectural type of the thermae, however, was not developed until the Romans designed the great imperial thermae—Baths of Titus (ad 81), Baths of Domitian (95), Trajan’s Baths (c. 100), Baths of Caracalla (217), and the Thermae of Diocletian (c. 302).
The general scheme consisted of a large open garden surrounded by subsidiary club rooms and a block of bath chambers either in the centre of the garden, as in the Baths of Caracalla, or at its rear, as in the Baths of Titus. The main block contained three large bath chambers—the frigidarium, calidarium (caldarium), and tepidarium—smaller bathrooms, and courts. Service was furnished by means of underground passageways, through which slaves could move swiftly without being seen. For lighting and for the roofing of the enormous rooms, the Romans developed an ingenious system of clerestory windows (windows in or near the roof or vault).
Modern discoveries of ancient sculpture in the Roman baths, such as the Laocoon group from the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, indicate the richness of the furnishings. Floors were marble or mosaic; walls were apparently sheathed with marble to a considerable height and decorated above with stucco reliefs and mosaic. Gilt bronze was used freely for doors, capitals (the crowning member of a classical column), and window screens. This type of imperial bathing establishment was repeated in its essential form, but on a smaller scale, throughout the Roman Empire.
Although there is disagreement among scholars about the exact order of bathing activities, the Roman technique of bathing is thought to have followed a somewhat standardized pattern. The bather probably first entered the apodyterium, where he undressed. He was then anointed with oil in the elaeothesium, or unctuarium, before entering a room or court, where he indulged in rigourous exercise. After this activity, he proceeded to the calidarium (hot room) and to the sudatorium, or laconicum (steam room), where his body was probably scraped of its accumulation of oil and perspiration with a curved metal implement called a strigil. The bather then moved to the tepidarium (warm room) and afterward to the frigidarium (cold room), where there was frequently a swimming pool. The bathing process was completed after the body was once more anointed with oil.
Roman baths varied in size from those in the larger, private houses to the great public thermae. The essential features present in all types of thermae were an adequate system of furnishing hot, tepid, and cold water; the heating of the hot portions of the bath, and sometimes also the tepidarium, by the circulation of smoke and heated air from a fire under the floor through the hollow walls (see also hypocaust); and adequate basins for warm and cold water in the hot bath.
As a rule, men and women bathed separately. Mixed bathing is first recorded in the 1st century ad, by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder. The practice, which seems to have been largely restricted to courtesans, was condemned by respectable citizens and prohibited by the emperors Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius.

An alternative to a walk-in bathtub
Sorry folks I guess I let my childish ways take over my bathtub blogging. But it does make you realize how lucky we are to have modern plumbing.

Can you believe I got this in an email???
I hate leaving things hang and I was never able to find those darn tub ads again.
You know I have reached the point where I am questioning whether I was dreaming that I saw those ads.
So in the interest of moving on and putting this behind me I am posting these pictures that I did have links to.
I also have retained the original post for those who may return and wonder where it went.
=====================================================================================
Please click here to see some of the slickest walk-in bathtubs I have ever seen and I have seen alot.
oops I copied the wrong url and now I have to wait and see if they send me another one. So I removed it.
Folks these walk-in tubs were extraordinary.
Please don't get mad I will find these again and you will see theses walk-in bathtubs are worth waiting for.

They write books about everything including bathtubs
As you can probably imagine I often wonder why I picked bathtubs to market and then something happens that just makes me shake my head and keep plugging on. I was talking to one of my friends the other day and they made a statement that falls into the " something happens" category. We were talking about nothing and somewhere along the line they said "They write books about everything". Later as I was checking out how my bathtub marketing efforts were doing it occurred to me that I bet there are no books on bathtubs. I mean other than catalogs, installation manuals, trade magazines, etc. So I decided to check it out and lo and behold I found all these on the first 3 pages of my Amazon search results.
