well, happy hoarding, then, tin.
dontcha just love saving money like that though? i had been getting messages on my computer for weeks, reminding me that my mcafee security was going to expire on 2-06-13. i finally dragged myself over to mcafee on 2-05-13 to pay for a year's security coverage, and couldn't get logged into my account. next, i was unable to reset my password...finally, i put a call through to india, where it was 1.00a.m. the next day, and a nice lady told me, in her lovely, lilting indian-accented voice, that i already have mcafee coverage through november, 2013, and do i wish to make a transfer of that coverage to the pc that is about to lose its mcafee protection (tomorrow)? "why YES, that's exactly the reason for my calling you today, 'helen' (and i'm no longer thinking angry thoughts about our outsourcing jobs overseas, by now)" and, is that your real name, helen?"
if you have followed my tortured story to its conclusion, all there is left to decide is this: how much money did i actually save with this call to mcafee? can you believe i am now earnestly trying to trick myself into believing i have $89.99 free money to spend, even though i know for a fact that it would only have cost me $49.99 for the mcafee security package, once they discounted it (as i knew they would do--from the original price)
so anyway, what i finally did, was order out my dinner the other night, a delicious indian chicken curry, cause curry was all that was on my mind after connecting with helen, in india....oh, and i figure i still have $30.00 left from this 'windfall' to play with, another day....
