Red Box?

We belong to a "Young Adults" group at church. The group was started to get 20 & 30 something's together for a game night once every couple of months. Obviously, Todd & I exceed the desired age of the group, but so what?! We had 'game night' last night. It has been a great time with young adults getting together just to have fun with no kids. Unbelievable that life can exist without children at the center of attention, but I'm here to tell you it can happen, and it is great when it does!

Food is always involved. Last night was no exception. The hosts prepared Sloppy Joe's and other couples brought sides or dessert. While eating, we started talking about tv and the ridiculous reality shows that exist (even though some of us confessed to watching them). We also discussed a new phenemenon called the 'Red Box." I've seen the Red Box but never paid one iota of attention to this red vending machine. Here's how it works: You go to the Red Box, use a credit/debit card, and for $1 you get a movie for a 24-hour rental. The boxes include New Releases for $1 as well. We decided to take a field trip to visit a Red Box and get educated. Four couples squeezed into a 7-passenger van and drove 1 mile to Wal-Mart to visit the closest Red Box. The cool thing about Red Box is that you don't have to return your movie to the same Red Box. You can drop it at any Red Box. Also, somehow you can sign up to get promo codes for free movies. One of the couples in our group gets 6 free movies weekly. I need to get clear instructions on how to do this. They are in their 20's and tech-savvy. I'm in my 40's and a little tech-challenged! Needless to say, on this particular 'game night' we watched a movie instead of playing a game. We still had a great time and can't wait for the next game night!
