Now I can't swear to this, but I was just watching television and they were talking about the stimulus package and the guy said '

"Social Security beneficiaries will be getting a $250 check."

ANYONE ELSE HEAR THIS??

And if you're married and you both are on SSD, that means 2 CHECKS??

Please, if any of you heard this, let's get the word out!!

lol

I "think" it's August. Not sure. Too late for your Broccoli sprouting seeds Melody.

Yep, we heard this too. I don't know why but think I heard something about us not getting a full stimulus refund being the reason? Kind of makes me feel bad for those who do work and pay taxes though. Not sure if I agree 100% with it because many are hurting right now.

Don't get me wrong, I am OK with it. If it happens, good for us. But I can't help but feel for everyone affected by the economy.

Why is it too late for my broccoli sprouting seeds?

You can sprout these seeds all year long.

You should see the set up I have in one of my rooms.

I built several several sprouting trays and I have these things growing all the time.

Right now, I'm bringing a bowl filled with the stuff that I grow ...to my friend around the corner. She's like me, diabetic and she's always trying to find new ways to eat healthy.

I can't wait until she sees this bowl. She's going to get hysterical.

I can just see her buying mason jars and growing sprouts.

lol

Sorry Melody. Guess I wasn't thinking

I don't believe the stimulus bill has actually passed. They haven't confirmed it yet. That's as far as I know.
