[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 580457, member: 1514"] Well if I have to look at his ugly mug, it might as well be doing something useful. I do have to wonder about him though. Either he is incredibly lucky or he lied to us again. He came home on Thursday and told us that Boost Mobile had given him a free month of service...again. Now his phone had quit working on the first of the month but suddenly he got a text on Thursday saying they were giving him a free month of service until March 15th. In case anyone doesnt know, Boost Mobile is a pre-paid cell phone company. Supposedly this is the second time this has happened to him. He was all happy and bragging about getting another thing for free. He asked me why I dont get stuff for free like that. I told him "Buck, I dont get things for free. I pay $200 a month for my cell phones and they would laugh at me if I even suggested getting a month free. Even more, I wouldnt expect to get anything free." He couldnt understand why. I told him we pay for everything we have. I asked him what he thought it cost us to run our house each month and he said...oh about 200 bucks! I said you are so friggen wrong. I just told you our phones alone are 200, our internet and cable are another 155, the electric averages 250 year round, then you have taxes on cars and house, insurance, maintenance, gas, food which runs us about 200 a week, clothes, entertainment, and all that. He was like...well I dont know why you have to spend that much. You should be able to just spend about a hundred dollars a month on food. I said Buck you eat more than a hundred dollars a month in food yourself. More than that. He is so clueless and just used to getting everything for free. He wants nothing more than to be a parasite.
