Redbox and Groupon Deal

February 27th, 2011 at 09:17 pm

If you like getting movies from Redbox, right now there is a Groupon deal to get 3 one-night rentals for $1 (including tax). Make sure to go through Trialpay if you do Swagbucks! Smile

If you aren't a member of Groupon yet,

Text is this link and Link is http://gr.pn/hSXxNJ
this link will take you directly to the Redbox/Groupon deal. *disclaimer - it is my referral link

Hurry though, who knows how long before it sells out (there were over 50,000 sold when I bought mine)

In other news ... just got back from a 5 hour long tutoring session. Attempting to get the Junior boy caught up with his English reading assignments! Fun, fun!

Oh my!

I posted a profile on Christian Mingle last week because they actually had an option for my particular faith. I've been getting lots of matches sent my way that *don't* match the 4 or 5 areas I noted as the most important (i.e. faith, smoking/drinking, etc.) So today I decided to do a keyword search. I could NOT believe it, but on the first page of results was a guy I'd dated my Sophmore year of college!! He's divorced and has kids and lives in PA. I was 19, and he was 24 at the time.

I'm tempted to send him a message ... but not so tempted as to spend the $30 for a one-month subscription plan!

Edit to add!

I forgot to mention this fantastic book I read this weekend - House Rules by Jodi Picoult. It is about an 18 year-old boy with Asperger's who is obscessed with forensics (think CSI). He and his family's world is rocked by a death in their town. Fascinating read - each chapter/section is the story told from one of the characters viewpoints.

I also just started "because of mr. terupt" written by Rob Buyea. So far I'm really enjoying it. It is about a first-year fifth-grade teacher told from the viewpoints of his students. Like the other book, each chapter/section is one person's viewpoint. Great book for fourth and up.

    They have been advertising like crazy! I see their ads on the tv all the time. Good luck!

    Thanks! The first I'd heard of the site was when I was doing some research on a town where a part-time library job was located. So far the site doesn't look too promising, but I figured it was worth a try. What I really don't like is that you have to pay to even read an email sent to you ... another site I'm on, you can at least read the email before deciding to put out money for a subscription.

    Have you read The Danger Box - it is a new release by Blue Balliett who writes children's fiction. We live in the Chicago area and my kids loved Chasing Vermeer and The Wright Three. Those books are set in Hyde Park and make reference to places we've been. My then-six year old art lover sat through the Girl With the Pearl Earing (movie) because he learned about Vermeer in the book. Anyhow (I diverged slighly) The Danger Box is told from the pov of a boy who I assume has Asperger's or is a high-functioning autistic boy. Really good.

    No, I haven't heard of The Danger Box - sounds good. I'll have to see if my library has it. Big Grin
