My father, may he rest in peace, said all too many times, “There is no free lunch!”
So when ever I get a pop-up, ordering me to get a free download, I look in my wallet and see there is no money.
I delete the advertisement and move on!!

Based upon your Chinese restaurant menu experience, i.e. menu download for $24, maybe free download is welcome in some instances. 😊
That was actually a different site offering pictures of menus. Crazy idea.

One of my Dad’s favorite sayings was “you get what you pay for.”

That’s why we need to be careful of which person we marry.

Actually, I got more than my money’s worth. My wife has put up with 40 years worth of shenanigans! I couldn’t have asked for better!!

Did any company ever charge for "download"?????
My phone company did! And the proof was my phone bill the month after I got my 300-baud modem! 😳

Well, for me, the third time was a charm. I’m a slow (and poorer) learner.

Yes, I used to offer " free" delivery on my structural steel orders, but you know I buried an extra $165.00 in the profit on the order just because you didn't tell me & I went ahead and charged you... 😉 Never believe in "free" delivery. We even had a line we could put on the order that said "free delivery." Don't buy it! Will Call or pick all your products. rpm

Hopefully you’ll get more shots than that
That is 16,000 shots at 25cents that I paid for in the cost of the camera.
