You can ABSOLUTELY get it cheaper. Make no mistake. I've had Sirius XM for years now. I don't pay more than $5/month for the full service. You tell them you're canceling and they will definitely offer you that deal in the end. Never ever pay that amount of money for Sirius, it's a rip. Problem is you'll have to go through the same BS routine when negotiating with them every 6 months. Actually the last time around I managed to convince them to give me the $5 deal for 12 months. So if you like the actual stations or whatever you listen to on Sirius, it's certainly worth 5 bucks. I like being able to stream the stations (many more online).

Was getting it for $5 for a couple of years and it recently went up. It's worth $5, not $20, though.

Could I ask you why you want to cancel?

I all ready have Amazon Prime Music, Spotify and a bunch of other free stuff...

Let me check if there is a special for Ontario resident

I'm sure there is, how about $60 for the year taxes in?

Ok

You wish... When it comes to Multinational Companies they don't go by the exchange rate but if they did it would be ~50 USD

When I was on the Lincoln site, I use to tel the US members that they would save a bundle if the could buy across the border.

Regardless of their "normal" prices, they will give in and give it to you for $5. It's usually for a period of 6 months though. Rinse and repeat. They can't afford to lose customers because there is so much competition these days.

I remember dialing my dad's 1929 Howard Shortwave radio and listening to weird foreign broadcasts, including something like teletype machines relaying propaganda, or who knows what. As a kid, I felt like I was spying on the Soviet Union. Heh!

The name JC Higgins made me think of the book, Henry Huggins. I read that when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. Brings back memories. Anybody else read that, or any of the other Beverly Cleary books when you were a kid?

Dad found his remote.

When you realize, doing what you're supposed to do, is simply not doing things that you enjoy.

Yeah, 2 hands, 2 beautiful girls.

BTW, notice Archie's smiling too and both Betty and Veronica each have a free hand.

Esteban · 05-01-2021, 01:50 PM

My mistake, only Betty has a free hand.

Was looking on my phone.
