....castles, kings and queens. We have all seen them in the movies covered by luxurious quilts and delicate curtains. Actually, canopy beds began their existence as the beds of common people, who just needed the drapes as an additional layer of shelter that could protect their sleep from objects falling from above. In the Middle Ages, they were, indeed, used by noblemen, such as lords or kings, but they didn’t precisely search for elegance. At least, not as much as a little privacy, since they often had to share the room with their servants and attendants. The curtains and draperies were then put up in the poles to provide them an added degree of intimacy. In fact, until the 16th century, these beds, even those of the nobles, remained fairly plain and understated.
In the Renaissance, canopy beds were developed and improved as regards the artistic designs are concerned. Their wooden headboard would be designed with creative and arty carvings, which were also made in the poles and beams. As years went by, a few other patterns and decorations were added to these beds.
Today, we can find two main styles of canopy beds in the market: traditional or modern. While the conventional types are usually based on the Victorian fashion, the contemporary beds sport a simpler and cleaner design, such as a geometric one. Traditional beds are composed of cast iron or wooden frames, or metal posts, and heavy fabrics are employed for the draping. Contemporary canopy beds employ wood, iron or metal frames or even a combination of both. They have little or no detail at all on the foot and headboard. The first style is ideal for a classic decoration, and the second is the choice for those who prefer a minimalist look....read more... http://www.hubpages.com/hub/canopy-beds

How to Keep the Romance Alive When You Have Children....
Once you start having children around the house, you will have to revamp your notion of romance, at least inside the house. First of all, there will be no more quiet candlelight dinners in the patio, or hours spent together in bed or anywhere else in the house. You’ll be lucky to get a couple of hours alone, although you will have to work around the schedule of your children. Don’t worry, there are still many ways to keep the flame alive.
Small gestures become more meaningful in a marriage. Acts like opening doors, offering to carry things into the house, getting your spouse a glass of water, making sure your spouse takes his or her daily meds are all romantic gestures that build the romance. The thing is, if our spouse is doing these already, we shouldn’t take it for granted.
If you get the children involved in these small gestures, you achieve more than keeping the romance alive. You are teaching your children how to treat a spouse, and how to make a marriage work. At the same time, you are building and strengthening the family bond.....keep reading....awesome stuff!!

Senior Dating Sites-Never Too Late To DATE!!!
Growing Online Dating Relationships
Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need tending, to grow over time. Here are some quick growing tips.
1. Take time and make time. Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, might mean time to move on.
2. Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you. If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes. So don’t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.
3. Respect each others privacy. Don’t share personal email addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you the information in confidence.
4. Share special online and offline fun times. Online – send greeting cards, links to favorite places to upload digital photos of your favorite pet, download music and video clips, post on favorite forums of interest. Offline- if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send print greeting cards and postcards, small items from your area (like a key chain with your state bird).
Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.

Senior Dating-Establishing Online Dating Relationships: Safety First
Online dating can be fun. But don’t neglect safety and common sense when you try to hook up with a mate. At minimum, take caution in the following areas.......
Protect Your Computer:
Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):
Free Firewall Download: ZoneAlarm www.zonelabs.com
Free Anti-Virus Download: AVG Anti-Virus www.grisoft.com
Protect Yourself:
Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service. How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place. Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.
So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!
