Right, but all that does is make her continue to attempt to convince me.
This is where the lying comes in handy. "I'm locked into this excellent plan for through 2008. Great deal!"
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A quick change of subject could work. "I'm all set on my phone, but thanks for asking. Oh, by the way, I'm thinking of getting married."
eta: and yeah, ya gotta give up the $48

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could adopt a Peter Lorre voice and say, "But the Wombat - he will know. He is spying on me. I must maintain the same cellphone plan so he will not know my plans for the avacado."

Driving to Lauderdale to send DH off the Phoenix at ungodlyoclock tomorrow. He packed his winter jacket. Quick business. But if business goes well we'll go back!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Alright Mom, it's been great talking to you, I have to go. Talk to you later. Bye."
You don't need to talk her into you making your own decisions, you just need to make your own decisions.

So very helpful. But it would certainly distract from the phone.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like tommyrot's idea best.

For the Empress. A new tagline. As I am watching Season 3, episode 2, this line came up and it seemed to fit.

I need to take the second dose of the muscle relaxant, but I'm feeling kind of icky and I can't help but feel that taking that pill is going to make me feel worse. Of course, this could be a baseless fear.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Right, but all that does is make her continue to attempt to convince me.
So you repeat that. Or variations on it. Are you ever going to convince her? No. So don't bother. "Thanks, but I'm doing fine with the plan I have." "But you can get a much better deal this way." "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm happy with the plan that I have." Lather, rinse repeat. Just don't let yourself get too upset about it.
