Hulu

Break your cable chains.  Stop searching through 400 channels and finding nothing to watch.  Those who are trying to save on cable or giving up cable here is the solution.

Valentine’s Day Activities

Could there be anything more romantic then watching the Westminster Dog Show and cuddling with your sweetie, family, or animal companion? It starts on Monday and culminates on Tuesday night when they crown the doggie Miss (or Mr.) America.

Or better yet, get some friends together and go as a group. Since it’s a Tuesday night, it might be more fun to rent…
