Float a Loan to Go On a Date?

With Valentines Day coming up there are a lot of couples who will be going out on a date in the next 8 days.

Many will choose to see a movie. Like the movie "Dear John".

To accomplish this feat, I am also thinking there are a lot of people who will need to take out a loan.

I recently ordered a bottle of water at a theater and got charged $4. Popcorn was $6 or $8 for a large one, soda was $5 or more. Candy, nachos, hot dogs were even more ridiculous.

The movie was just $6.50 because it was the early session.

I like a date night at a bowling alley or skating rink. Billiards places are fun and offer more games than just pool, like darts or shuffle board.

We have our favorite steak house, Farmer Browns in Waterloo, Ne. You can get prime rib for under $20 and it includes your salad, bread, potatoe, spagetti or green beans, and coffee or tea. Great service and a great deal.

What's your favorite "Date Night" ideas?

Thank you all of my Rotary friends!

I chaired the Southwest Omaha Rotary Nightclub District Wide Super Bowl Food Drive. Our little club of twenty-three Rotarians managed to raise almost $1,400.00 in cash and two truck loads of food for Open Door Mission, Sienna Francis House, Salvation Army, and other local organizations.

I'm already looking forward to doing it again next year!

Be watching my YouTube channel to catch the video documentary of this event. It will really touch you.

I you live in Omaha, you should stop into our Rotary meeting to see if Rotary is a good fit for you. If you like public service, helping the community, and being a part of something greater than yourself, I stronly encourage you to join Rotary International. It will change your way of life and change the world in the process. Our club meets at Charlies on The Lake on 144th & F Street in Omaha at 5:15pm.

Thank you Scott Kokenge for telling your brother how much you liked your inspection and passing our info to him. I wish you both the best and look forward to serving you both in all of your home purchases.

I love when an one inspection leads to two. And when two leads to four... and so on. It just makes all the hard work worth it.

Go BrickKicker!
