aslan she must of plagirized
it - I wrote it like 40 years ago . For most in here everyday is Christmas if we want it to be . When you want something you buy it - it does not need to be a holiday - WTF I mean !!! Best time of the year to buy a widescreen - if you can't find a bozo declaring bankruptcy and he buys it for you and then you give him half price and can't find one off the docks - is the week after superbowl - not before !!!! Never before - that is their hottest week for selling TV's . Maybe find a friend of a friend who has fallen on hard times who has a great TV cause he bought it on a credit card and now can not afford the payments . I detest taking advantage of people like that but this is still america - buy low , lower , and lowest !!! Capitalism still lives in America !!!!A good thing in my book also was getting to know your local thieves - especially the ones that shop to order at half off and half off wholesale not retail . Hell when I rarely go in to McDonalds but when I do I always get the senior discount !!!!! My christian upbringing always told me buy right - the 12th commandment actually !!!!!If you would like a copy of my book - mail $499.99 plus S and H to me and i will drop it in the mail for you . S and H by the way is $69.99 - what a deal !!!!!! maybe I should write a book on how to bet responsibly and win instead of being a loser !!! I was thinking first editions { author signed } might be like $999.99 plus S and H !! general edition maybe $749.99 plus S and H charges pf $89.99 cash only , add 5% if using a credit card and do not even bother sending me checks - leaves a big paper trail . On second thought screw the credit cards too but do not forget S and H !!!!!!!! I also am starting a new scam er I mean charity and I expect some donations as well . The charity is going to benefit wayward and homeless nymphomaniacs!!! the website is www.toys_for_twats@cumagain.cum

My wife says that her Mother, who was born in 1921, presumably before you entered the scene, could find a sale in the middle of the Gobi desert. She learned much of what she knows through her tutelage. So who is the plagiarist now? Lol Not to take anything away from you, my friend. Some have it and some don't. You have it. 
I asked her about the coupon she had that we got $1,000 off the negotiated price of our car. It was for an upgrade to alloy wheels/tires that we already had, so they agreed to give us another $1,000 off the post-haggled price. It was beautiful, and I didn't even know it was coming--she had kept it to herself, probably for fear that I would spill the beans too early--I don't know--she didn't tell me. And she's the one who can never keep a secret, that is, unless there is money involved. lol
She still has not figured how to get me a Rolex watch or a Porsche dirt cheap. She's working on it. I think her interim position is that a Seiko keeps just as good time, and a Toyota is a lot cheaper to drive and maintain. Hahaha I also appreciate the fact that she does not like diamonds or roses. She prefers semi-precious stones that she doesn't have to fear losing, and carnations and daisies, which last many time longer than roses.
She is human. She is in love with the Porsche SUV Cayenne--probably could care less whether it is a 500HP Turbo--it's the styling she likes. She knows its not a good investment and not something justified by our income, but she goes gaga when she sees one. It's not a serious crush--she would never actually purchase one. lol Who knows, maybe I will get her one some day.

That means you didn't do a very good job of haggling in the first place

Next time you're in AC, make a side trip to Chinatown in Manhattan. Rolexes can be had for $20!

No, the coupon had to be honored since it came from Toyota. The company had no choice but to grant the additional discount even if it resulted in a below cost deal, which I assure you it didn't. 
She did manage to purchase a Halogen stove for hundreds under cost, The salesman tried to get us to return it after the fact, but headquarters shut him down fast. You make a deal, you stick by it, they told him. Bray and Scharf, it was.
Yes, I have a $20 knockoff. I am embarrassed to take it to a jewelry store to get a battery. lol

City Agents Shut Down 32 Vendors of Fake Items
It is a vibrant fixture of Lower Manhattan commerce. Tourists jostle for space at Canal Street’s stores and sidewalk kiosks, bargaining with vendors over sparkly watches, handbags and perfumes with fake designer labels that are sold at a fraction of the cost of the genuine item.
But over the past five weeks, like the goods that are not what they appear to be, undercover police officers and city agents fanned out and pretended to be real shoppers in an area the mayor called the “Counterfeit Triangle” — which roughly includes Canal, Walker, Baxter and Centre Streets. They picked up items that included a Prada handbag for $40; a Patek Philippe watch and a Rolex for $80, and two pairs of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses for $18.
On Tuesday, 32 shops were closed down, a civil lawsuit was filed against the property owner — the estate of Vincent Terranova — and more than $1 million worth of counterfeit goods were confiscated as a result of the more than 40 undercover shopping sprees.
