Like an inner monologue at a father-in-law’s barbecue, an inner tube provides a vessel for escaping the rigors of constant human interaction. Drift off mentally and physically with today's Groupon: for $8, you get a one-day lake or river inner-tube rental at Reno Mountain Sports (a $15.95 value). Reno Mountain Sports’ knowledgeable crew supplies outdoor gear and adventure recommendations to thrill-seekers of all types. Take to one of the area’s nearby bodies of water and enjoy a full day of sunbathing, splashing, or reenacting scenes from_Das Boot_ from atop inflatable inner tubes. Nearby Lake Tahoe lets tubers drift off in serenity, whereas the fast-moving currents of rivers such as the Truckee propel water-resistant-donut riders on an effortless journey around its bends. With constantly changing river conditions, floaters are encouraged to consult the Reno Mountain Sports staff about water conditions or check weekly river levels before venturing out to bask in buoyancy.

The Groupon Guide to: Breaking a Curse
Statistics show that at some point in their lives, everyone—from disproportionately beloved baseball franchises to British explorers who accidentally brush their torches against a mummy—will experience some kind of curse. Consult this handy guide to breaking any hexes, jinxes, or charms that may befall you:
Acquire a lucky charm: Until you are able to break the curse, you might be able to balance it out with a positive charm of equal strength. Common lucky charms include: rabbits' feet, rabbits' ears, rabbits' eyes, and winning lottery tickets.
Make amends: Curses are most often punishments for perceived slights against magical forces or people. If you recently built a summer home over a sacred burial ground, consider apologizing to the operators of Forest Hills Community Cemetery at your next city-council meeting. However, if you recently struck an elderly fortune teller with your car, don't worry about apologizing, as she can already foresee a future where you feel partly responsible.
Get ritualistic: Try setting your curse on "reverse" with a traditional antithesis ritual. Frogs who make out with humans are often turned into humans and cursed with a privacy-free life of public service in a powerless honorary monarchy. All this unwanted attention can be dispelled by performing the ultimate ritual—moving to America. Similarly, werewolves looking for a life of normalcy can attain it by ceremoniously burning down the moon.
