Found the credit card. Wife had taken it away claiming I'd bought something expensive from some company called U-He.  Thought I was losing it there for a minute.
 
WOW!!!  Just got an email that Waves is extending their super sale for another 48 hours. Bundles up to 80% off!! Always looking for a good compressor.

The wife knows about this!!!!!!!!!! Gas rule number 1: The wife can never find out about Gas, it's a secret club, they may tell other wives and so on........................One of my biggest fears after I die is my wife selling my guitars for what I said they cost.

I once bought mcdsp plugins that were protools only and I don't use protools! It was a good deal though :) I actually even registered them on my ilok. Luckily I got the money refunded.

Grem,
 
FWIW, the U-He delay is nice but quite complicated. I like Timeless better, but should start learning MFM2 since all evidence point to the fact that I did buy it.
 
Rocky,
Your fear about the wife selling your guitars after you die for what you told her the price was....is a chilling thought.
 
However, this does not remotely compare with what will happen after your demise when she finds out how much you actually paid for them... and starts coming after you.

mostly kidding....My wife gave me a '52 RI Tele for Christmas one year. I was blown away. On the other stuff, I just buy and sell at will and the wife is none the wiser.

But if I just buy this one more thing all my songs will be hit, and I will make millions!!!
 
Side note, all Lexicon stuff is 50% off...

Incidental note for Grem...
 
Forcing myself to reconcile the $79 expense on MFM2 by using the thing, and figuring out why I bought it in some Sterno intoxicated drunk rage.
 
The thing is quite nice and glad I convinced myself to buy it, even if I have no memory of when and where or why I fired up the plastic.

...I am making a very sane and educated decision!...

Just what are these things 'very sane and educated decision ' you speak of?
 
I've heard of them in passing, but know not what they are.
 
And if after a reasonable explanation, I do even manage to comprehend, are these things even allowed here on the forums?
 
I thought the process went like this: 
 
1. We go to Cakewalk.com.
2. Log in.
3. Find this Software section of the forums.
4. Check ccLarrys posts on a number of deals.
5. We click on the links.
6. We get out our credit cards.
7. We complete the purchase.
8. Download our new VST toy(s).
9. Install it (them).
10. Place it (them) into 'always used', 'sometimes used' or 'never used' categories/lists of numerous other VSTs.
11. Hide said purchases/credit card statements from wife (girlfriend), if necessary and/or applicable.
12. Return to Cakewalk.com. 
13. Go back to step #2 above.
14. Repeat entire process.
 
No 'very sane and educated decisions ' required here!
 
Just auto-reaction, knee-jerk, gut-feeling, no-thought-required, often-senseless purchases.
 
Especially now that ccLarry's returned!
 
That's all we need!!!  [The way I see it anyway].
