FCC approves long-proposed XM, Sirius merger

BDB I hear you! That was one of my reasonings as well. Recently we did a scrub of our monthly bills now that we have our first child. Netflix, Sirus, Starz, Shotime, and a home phone all took a beating. Put another $175 a month in our pockets.

It is amazing how much crap you pay for that you don't use.

Yeah, my wife and I just did that as well, and it sounds like we're definitely in the same boat. Sirius, netflix, vonage, gold's gym, and cable are taking hits on our household, with more cuts as necessary.

Didn't you just have a kid? Wait till you have 2 in daycare at the same time. "Sirius"ly puts a crimp in the cash flow.

Yep, our daughter will be 1 on September 27th, and she'll be around 15 months old when #2 is born.

Yeah, if Grandma can't "retire" to watch her grandbabies, I'm going to have to do some freelance web work and take on a 2nd job to afford day care.

You need an Au-Pair man! Seriously check it out. It works out to about $300 a week and the girl lives with you.

I'm too weak in the flesh to have some foreign chick at my house full time. :)

LOL. That's what I was thinking. 18 to 26 years old? Hmmm...

Trust me none of them are hot. I have seen a bunch that my friends have had over the years. I think one may have been hot.

Crap I hope I still get my free satellite radio. I use to work for XM and have been getting free XM for two years. LOL I love it just cant bare another monthly bill. I quit in May 07 and since continued to enjoy free radio.
