--- Quote from: NightGod on September 19, 2006, 12:07:29 am ---I haven't considered HBO a luxury since the mid 80s, maybe it's just me. I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't have cable/sattelite with a full boat of stations, and that's because I canceled my DirectTV a few years ago when I got divorced and have never bothered to re-subscribe since I can just find everything I want to watch on-line, anyway.

I don't get it.  So you don't have cable or satellite but HBO is not a luxury?

I've replaced HBO with a DSL connection. It's more "I never used it because I got the stuff elsewhere" than "damn, I can't afford that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---". I don't have cable or sattelite because it literally never got used (after my divorce I literally watched TV less than an hour a month, and that was because it get left on after some console gaming and I wandered back and turned it off later). It would be like, say, canceling natural gas service because all of your appliances are electric.

I like that Shmokes. I really like that. I have never agreed with you more!  :cheers:

I particularly like the "I periodically take the high and mighty road to demonstrate where I lack in intelligence or responsibility"  ;)

Or better yet, you could use your credit card! I bet you could ask for and get a MasterCard or Visa and just charge it.  You do have the power to do that don't you?

That way, you could pay it off when you get into the law thing.

BTW, no matter how busy I am, I still manage to squeeze in 8 hours of TV a day. I know it's a blistering thing, but I have worked up to it....

Two hours of TV a day is insane.

Insane might be a little extreme.  You need to have words left over for people who watch five hours a day, which is probably closer to the amount of TV an avererage American watches (I didn't look that up, by the way).

Still . . . god knows I wouldn't want to spend that much time watching TV.  I also feel that cable is a luxury.  Not only is it a luxury, but it's one that I won't even miss.  My wife, however, uses it a lot and I can't just decree that we're not going to have it anymore.  Luckily, that's neither here nor there, because she agreed last night that we should cut it off.

I'll go.  What I don't raise will go on a credit card.

Keep trying Fredster.

Well there you go! Great minds do think alike! 

Let's think "shameless"  Here's some more:

I guess you can't get a bank loan. (bad credit?)  I'd have done that, the rate may be cheaper with a credit union.  Beats the 21% from a credit card.

So you have raised $20! Man that's begging. Did you ask you mom and dad if they would kick in?  My mom would have (god rest her soul).  So would dad (tragic he died so young). But you could ask your sister? Right?

Did you forward the link to like your aunts and uncles?  Tell them to send that Birthday CARD early!

Hey! Did you do the garage sale thing?  You know, you can raise a few bucks on a Garage Sale!  You could sell all those EA games you boycotted. I'm sure you aren't playing them.

There's always a lemonade stand.

Set your mame machine to take quarters for a while. You did build a mame machine didn't you? HEY, maybe somebody could buy it?

Wait! I got it! How about getting one of those boxes of candy that parents have to sell for their kids? You could get a bunch of hershy bars and write up that you need to go and sell them at work? Just put it up at the front desk and put a coffee can next to it! Tell them it's for your girl's baseball team.

I mean, that's "shameless" isn't it?
