So many other good music services that play under bridges and parking garages, and they still do this.

I guess my confession though is that I hate anything in a car not working as it should and it bugs me that I can't select Sirius and have it work, so it's easy for them to take advantage of me unless I keep my guard up.
I literally just finished reading the same offer from todays mail. My free subscription with the new lease expires in August.

I'll probably do it. Now without a CD player and me being old school without playlists or other music sources, Sirius is my go to.
Pretty sure they will give you the same discounted rate if you call them and threaten to cancel when your year is coming to an end.

OMG. Trying to cancel Sirius is hell. I go though it every time my lease is up. What part of I have a new lease with a year free subscription and I returned the old car is hard to understand? How many supervisors do I need to tell the same story to? I don’t care if you’re offering me a reduced rate. I don’t need the subscription.

I tried to cancel last year. Not really, just wanted the discounted rate. I will call them, I think it's this September (written on my calendar), to get the same discounted rate or I will threaten to cancel. I'm sure I'll get the same rate. After taxes and whatever fees they charge it comes to $6.06. I will cancel for sure, no matter what I have to do, if they don't give me the same price.

I no longer have the parts for this to be possible and even if I did it would be like the immaculate conception. Probably TMI.

I think she was 90 you heathen. A little more biblical knowledge might be beneficial, but kind of useless if your heart isn't in the right place admittedly.

They definitely will, but you've got to remember to call them which isn't really on my life priority list. They got me once and never again.

I've got a ton of music on my phone, a memory stick with my top 300 favorite songs, Apple radio, Spotify, Amazon music, so there's never a shortage of music, but it bugs me my car is equipped with this but I can't (won't) use it

I got her name right
I got her son's name right
I even knew there was such a story

Heart in the right place, indeed, you Canuck

Actually, you got her son's name wrong (it's spelled Isaac), but I was willing to let that go until you decided to go toe to toe with me you "Nerd in the 'Nard".

Nard-core don't need nobody's name spelt right, you grammr-k-nigit


Wait, you understood all that, right? I can't be playing to crowds that don't catch my drift.

I prefer "Nerd in the 'Nard"...just feels somehow more accurate than "Nard-core".

But I got y'alls.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and am not going to ask for clarification since I'm sure this topic falls under several categories in our mandatory annual discrimination and inclusion training at work.

The only well-known IT tidbit that I know of is that most cops type with only two fingers.....

I don't have any kids. But dad had a huge influence on how I live my life and the person I have become. He taught me to be humble, to treat others they way I want to be treated, to lead by example and gave me a great work ethic. His nine grandchildren were also lucky to have him around. He'll live on.

Bet you would've made a great mom. Especially because of how your dad raised you.

My dad was a shithead, but my mom was the best person I knew. I like to think I am influenced by her.

Every man should know for his own safety that you should NEVER suggest or ask a woman if she's pregnant...unless you see a baby's head protruding from her birth canal.....

But isn't that only if you see them in person and ask? Because if they're not pregnant, you're suggesting they're fat, and then you're taking your life in to your own hands.

And you'd better run.

I did this once. I made the huge mistake of asking a sales rep that came to see me when she was due. She then told me her daughter was 1 year old. I almost died. I felt so bad. But she really did look pregnant.
