What did you do with your big whopping stimulus check? I paid my doctor and bought a pair of shoes. There’s a few dollars left, so I might get my car cleaned. Woo.
Stimulating the economy….

May 9, 2008 at 3:51pmIt hasn’t come yet, but part will go to pay for the second hand Epson 2200 I bought, the other part will go into the bank to help make up for the money I had to take out of savings to pay for the plumbers to make the big hole in the front yard when my water main broke this winter.

a leak in the basement that is driving me mad. as for the rest of it, who knows.
A friend is going to rectify the toilet situation during or after the ConQuesT weekend.
Teresa, I feel your pain. I’m glad I got laid off about a month after the loan from my 401(k) was paid off or I would have had to repay the balance. We took it out in 2004(!!!) when our sewer house-to-main line collapsed. It was the original 1912 Orangeburg tile, as far as the plumbers could tell, and it was impossible to use a rooter because it was a non-standard size. Our drive still isn’t the same but it’s low on repair priorities.

Well, I suppose paying for labor and materials counts as stimulating someone’s economy. Keepin’ it local, definitely.

May 9, 2008 at 6:51pmI haven’t received mine yet. Something about not having filed my tax return yet…. (Don’t worry; I’m legal. I did file the extension form.) When I do receive it, it will probably go toward something boring, like the mortgage.

May 13, 2008 at 10:11pmYep. We’re really stimulating that economy. Food. Shelter. Shoes.

May 9, 2008 at 7:29pmThat pair of shoes has helped to keep 100 American workers employed,
as well as several congressmen.

May 13, 2008 at 10:10pmPerhaps the Congressmen, but probably only a couple of stockers, a truck driver, and a cashier. At least the manufacturer has a human rights policy to “improve the quality of life” of their wage slaves around the world.

May 13, 2008 at 10:09pm*chuckles* More like me having too many deductions and not hitting the right number to get one. Just as well. I didn’t really want to pay it back next year. ^_~`

May 13, 2008 at 10:17pmThey swear we won’t have to pay it back. I disbelieve.
