    Yup, you guys done went and P-offed my wife! She's hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of JULY!

    I went online at Dell to window shop. I seen they had the a I9300 package deal with $750 discount. But, after looking, I couldnt change a couple of things, so I wasnt going to order it ( that, and knew the wife would be PO'ed ). THEN, I had to do some searching on the I9300, to satisfy my curiosity(sp?), which lead me to this forum. What did I find? The promo code for the $750 off, with any Inspiron over $1899. Well, that did it! Back to dell I went. I single line edited the I9300 to my liking ( well, almost ). I did keep an eye on the price. After all, I didnt need anything getting super glued to my belly button whilst I sleep ( insert evil wife snicker here ).

    Anyways, here it is:

    Now, I tried to reason with the wife....Honey, FREE printer! It will save us from buying our son a wedding present in Aug! But Honey... 6 months of free dialup with Earthlink's gunna save us $60! But Baby... A whole free year of PC Magazine! (As I'm ducking from the flying ashtry)But SweetiePie...We got FREE 2 day shipping AND another $50 off to boot!

    After a couple hours, I thought all was going to be fine. ( After I returned from the ER getting 3 stitches in the back of my head from a well placed, fast ball speed, 2lb paper weight from across the room.) But then, for some stupid reason of which I can not explain, I told the wife about how you guys posted a great deal on the 1 gig memory at newegg. BUT DARLING! IT WAS ONLY $110 INCLUDING SHIPPING!!! I sure hope she has satisfied her craving of cutting things up, when she cut all my C.C! I guess I'm gunna learn to sleep on my belly for awhile.

    GEEZZZ, thanx alot peeps! [ :D]

    you used her cc? I can see why she is pissed...you should do like my mom does or for that matter what i do...put it on my dad's credit card and don't tell him till he get his statement [ :D]

    and if you really spend money on it, get her statement before she does and make the payment on it [ :p]

    NO idea why? Maybe they have an agreement with our state to do so, who knows.
