If you'd like Kiki to keep her trash talking out of this thread, I'd ask Sigs and Brenda to say as much.

There's no need for it in here, and it's just as welcome now as it is when T brings it into the Garden.

Thanks.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

If you've come here looking for nothing but praise and approval just because you post your misogynistic, narcissistic dumb-fuckery in this thread, here 'ya go -

GOOD DOG!

I bet now you're really happy you brought your personal attacks here, aren't you?



Oh, and either you're too stupid to get my post about your shit-ass accounting, or you're playing dumb. So let me spell it out.


Hey look, I didn't spend $100 because the price went up after I bought the AC!
Hey look, I didn't spend tens of millions of dollars on a private jet yesterday!

Therefore, my AC is going to be free!
Therefore, me driving my car around is going to be free!

SIX, I would hve said it differently, and out of concern for you, but I agree with KIKI's point. The money that you "don't spend" is NOT income. It's great to get rebates and points and shit, but spent money is just spent money.

We used to have a joke where I worked... someone would find an ad for some really expensive luxury item .... HALF OFF ON TOP LINE CALLAWAY GOLF CLUB SET WITH FREE SET OF BALLS!... and we would laugh and say we couldn't afford to save like that, and toss the ad in the recycler.

Or dd brings me a coupon $0.75 off on [some comparatively expensive meat] and I explain, again, that even if I use the coupon it will still cost more $6 more than if I threw the coupon out and bought a cheaper brand.

I don't see you buying luxuries, and I'm glad you have an A/C, but to say that you didn't spend $100 [more] on the unit means that your A/C is basically "free" is the kind of contextual thinking that gets people in trouble.

It seems like all the dryness is concentrated on NoCal and Oregon. Somebody messed up the weather order!



Yes, they did. It is raining today. Will need my umbrella when I go out.

Back in and it has stopped raining for now but dark clouds looming. So I guess more on the way for this evening.

The $100 I saved by buying it 3 weeks early is only 1/3rd of the money I am talking about. The other 2/3rds is the $200 credit I get on my new card when I spend $1,000 in 3 months, and THAT IS income. I regularly get over $500 tax free every year doing this.

I have zero debt and I pay the cards off every month. I've done so since August of 2005.

So yes... My A/C is free this year.





EDIT:

I just realized I'm celebrating 15 years of debt independence in 2 months and 4 days.



Do Right, Be Right. :)

In other words, you spent $1000 to get $200 back. That calculates out to 20% off the cost.

You may have reduced your cost. But in the end, buying your AC cost you money. Running it will cost you money. Nothing about your AC is completely free, dork.



You're such a joke.

Oh, btw, I easily have 4 decades of debt free living. You will never catch up to that ... you will always, ALWAYS, be decades behind me!
