Mystery Science Theatre 3000: A date movie?
Guest written by our friend Trent Horton
First off, let me say it outright, I hate the whole concept of dinner and a movie as a date. If I go with this plan I always put a bit of my own spin on it. I’ll keep dinner, but for the movie we’ll go home and crank up the plus hd dvr package.
You think I’m a cheapskate, which is true, but not the point here. If you’ve already broken the ice on the relationship a movie theater is going to stifle conversation and growing the relationship, the whole point of a date. If your date isn’t afraid of you, go home and fi nd something on the movie channel.
The other night I hit paydirt when I flipped over and found Mystery Science Theatre 3000 playing. I already love this movie, though she was skeptical at first, she was laughing so hard that she was in tears throughout the whole thing. The coolest part is the format of this movie, it encourages everyone to talk and come up with witty remarks at the old b movie along with Mike and his robot pals.
She had so much fun that night that she now looks for cheesy old movies to sit down and watch with me. We’ve even gotten to the relationship stage where dinner on date night can be at home, my inner cheapskate rejoices. We’ll sit down and watch all the b movies she’s lined up for us and make ourselves laugh ’til we choke.
Finding Cheap Furniture
I was looking for some Modern Furniture the other day and I was very happy when I found some great
furniture products are so expensive, so shopping online didnt just save me a few bucks it really saved me a bundle. One of the the things that it looks like is that they have a very large selection of designer furniture. This is very helpful for me because I have just moved in to a new home and there are many items that I need to buy so I can outfit my home. I need Dining Room Furniture, but I am probably going to hold off on that until my Christmas bonus.
All in all, I am very happy with the great deals I found on the modern bedroom furniture i just picked out for my new home. I can’t wait until it comes so I can actually use it.
Credit Repair Assistance
When I was looking for credit repair company I learned that it is not rocket science. All you have to do is follow a few simple rules and keep account of the papers and bills and you will be well on your well to clean credit.
Take the credit bureaus to task. The first step you need to take is to start disputing the negatives. It is easier to do this right in the beginning rather than at a later stage. Disputing becomes essential when you consider that you will not be allowed to take legal action with the opposite party unless you first file a dispute. In order to get started with a credit repair company you need to get rid of these negative.
Next, whether you decide to write things down or type it down, it is important to keep a record of everything. Write down the name of the guy you talk to, write down the date you sent a letter or received one, nothing is trivial here, writing everything down. According to the rules stipulated by FCRA Fair Credit Reporting Act and the bestcredit repair company, they have to come back to you within a month with explanations and if they don’t, you can get off free Nothing works like a documented fact. Keep them written and intact. Most importantly don’t give up the fight. Keep fight until you have clean credit.

Lucky To Have A Beach
I appreciate the guest post, Vito Rivers
We might not have the ocean, but we still have one of the most beautiful manmade lakes around. Unfortunately, it’s a 40-minute drive. Thats not too long, but it’s not like going to the neighborhood pool around the block, either. What we have learned is to make it a day trip. We’ll start the day out packing up our stuff, set our first alert alarmsystem before we leave, drive up to the beach to spend the afternoon, and then stop for dinner before returning home. It started out as a once-in-a-while type event. Now we go almost every Sunday. And it’s a lot of fun.
My son, who is 6 years old, loves to splash around in the wat er, build sandcastles, and play Frisbee. There aren’t many people on the beach at Lake Norman State Park, so we have plenty of room for a Frisbee catch. He has been asking about going kayaking for several weeks now, but I’m still afraid he’s too young. I’m careful not to say maybe; otherwise, he would keep harping on it until he got what he wanted. He’s very good at that. I always tell him to appreciate what he does have: the beach. Not many people have a nice quiet beach they can drive to. It doesn’t seem like he’s getting the message to appreciate what he has instead of complaining about what he doesn’t have, but he is only 6 years old, so I’ll give him a pass.
