No dinner...but free movies

Give 1 FREE month of Netflix! Offer ends June 15th.

You know we have no life, right? Well, even if we had one, we couldn't afford to take all of us out at the same time. Our conversations would go something like this:
Everybody gets two french fries and one bite from this .99 hamburger, guys. Share the soda! It's all gone? OK, well you just have an ice cube then. This is fun right? Who got the penny change? OK, give it to me and we will save for college. (Actually, when the kids were small, that's what we would do. Sad. Sad and pathetic.) LOL

Seriously, our family loves movies. I mean, if we don't watch TV then we have to talk to each other, right? LOL So, we tried Netflix, liked it and more importantly, haven't had any problems. The price is reasonable, the selection is great and they even carry LDS movies! Currently I have about 394 movies on my queue, from television series to LDS movies to cartoons to anime to new releases. I get three movies at a time and it only takes a day or two to get movies from them.

I even did something stupid and Netflix helped me out. I bought a Diet Coke at Blockbuster and saw Charlie Wilson's War was out for rent, (great movie by the way) so I rented it and went home. Later, I went on-line to see what was coming next from Netflix and saw that Charlie Wilson's War was en route to my mailbox. So, I called Netflix, admitted that I was a complete idiot, told them what happened and they very kindly sent me another DVD right away and told me to mail Charlie back as soon as it arrived. I was impressed. She was pleasant, she laughed at my jokes and I had a new movie two days later.

It looks like a win-win for both of us if you want to try Netflix. You get a free month and I get another rental.
BUT, No worries if you are not interested. I'm interested and I will be watching Crossing Jordan Season 1 from Netflix and that's fine with me.
