i can't tell you how many times i have had this conversation with mom. being a mom she is concerned about me. so she calls me every time some guy tells her i am wasting money on premium and explains (again) how i am wrong. i explain (again) what ray said. i have tried every method of explaining it to her short of sitting her down and giving her a full physics lesson.
