Say, Remember That Canadian Made - Danish Modern Bedroom Suite That I Featured Here A Couple Months Ago? I've Got Another Set By The Same Company With An Even MORE Engaging Style. Status: Already Gone.

I stumbled upon this video a couple hours ago and thought that I should share it with my lovely readership.  I already knew that the switch to the Digital Projection Format would be an issue for smaller theaters but I'm pretty sure that All the small theaters in the St. Louis area have been able to make the expensive switch.  Apparently there are other Drive In Theaters in need.  Let's do what WE can to save the Drive In experience for the coming generations!

Can Mr. Modtomic Ask A Favor Of His Readership? Craigslist Is Rife With Mattress Dealers Who Are Constantly Spamming The "Furniture By Owner" Section And I'm Wondering If And How Quickly We Can Maybe Flag One Of Them Off.

Click here to see all the ads this spammer is dropping in the Furniture By Owner section.  Dealers like this have an entire section dedicated to them Because they were overloading the casual sellers and making craigslist useless.  Please take a moment to Flag all this spammer's ads.  It shouldn't take long and the more time this business gets flagged the easier it will be to flag the ads off.  Flags are cumulative and never go away, but I bet if we make it difficult enough for this guy to keep ads up he'll go away!

Thanks so much in advance.
