Redbox Launches Referral Program

March 9, 2011 in Email, facebook, redbox, Social Networking, twitter with 0 Comments

I received an email this morning from Redbox notifying me of this Refer-A-Friend Program/Referral Awards.

You basically sign up through the program using your First & Last name and of course your email address (if you’re logged in to your existing account with Redbox, the form fields will be automatically filled).

You’ll have several options of how to share your unique referral link provided by the program.  Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Embed code, and Email to your address book (option to import using Plaxo).

The program works like this:

  1. You refer your friends
  2. They rent through your link
  3. You get a FREE One-Night rental credit good for 10 days

If anyone rents through your link you’ll receive an email through Redbox with your credit.

There’s also a nice little Dashboard powered by Extole (formerly TellAPal) they have in place to provide you stats on the process of your program.  See image below.

Please click this link and it’s your first time renting online, they’ll give you a free one-night online rental credit. And I’ll get a free rental each time you rent via my link through 3/17/11.

How to Stop Church Gossip

June 23, 2009 in Email, Funny with 0 Comments

It’s been a while, sorry for my last of postings recently.
I received another forwarded email today I thought worth sharing.

The title, “How to Stop Church Gossip.” OOOOh, religion… this could be good!

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business..

Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that every one seeing it there WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING!

Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away.

He didn’t explain, defend, or deny.

He said nothing…

Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house… walked home… and left it there all night.

(You gotta love Frank!)

Tough Love vs Spanking – Good Argument

November 26, 2008 in Email, Funny with 0 Comments

You may have this seen this forwarded email come through your Inbox a time or two.
Now that I’m blogging a bit, I thought I’d share here:

I’ve tried this and found it to be very effective….. Age makes no difference either.  8 or 24. years old. They really listen after this!

Most of the American population thinks it’s improper to spank children,
so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of ‘those moments.’

One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.

Some say it’s the vibration from the car, others say it’s the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc.

Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.  Eye to eye contact helps a lot too.

I’ve included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
