After all, we now owe them 3 trillion dollars or more...

Maybe, just maybe I will go to the China Shop, also known as K-Mart, where almost everything is made in China...and then I can buy some lead-painted toys or some contaminated drugs.

How do I reaaaaalllly feel about the "Stimulus Check"?????

I am sure that Alexander Hamilton is rolling in his grave over this process...

Now, if it was not based on a loan from China, then I would help Cindy pay for that tank of gas, becuase it will take at least two of these checks to fill her tank. As for the donut....we will have to split one donut hole because that will be all that we can afford.

Aww come on, Victor - tell us how you really feel!! :D

I've been stimulated!

I called my bank's automated line this morning to verify that my weekly pay had been deposited Friday. When it gave me the balance it was more than what was supposed to be there. It's the stimulus check, deposited this morning. :cool:

So I went to the town office and along with my state and federal refunds, I had just enough to pay my real estate taxes for the year... joyful day:(

I really really really enjoyed my stimulus check... can I have another please?:mad:

( i wanted enough to at least buy a bag!)

So....if we had our federal and/or state refund directly deposited into our checking account that's the way we'll get our stimulus check?

I hope so - one less trip to the bank for me! I check my account online everyday so maybe it will be there tomorrow! :)

Kroger is offering an extra 10% on top of the check amount if you spend the money at one of their stores.

Not sure I could spend $600 at Kroger but I guess if I stocked up on high ticket items like coffee and meat I could. Frozen foods can add up quickly, too.

That's an extra $60 on top of the $600 so that's a pretty good deal. Other stores like K-Mart and Sears are offering similar incentives to spend the money at their stores.

I want new furniture SO bad but I'm just going to have to use what I have - and don't get me wrong...I'm very thankful that I even have furniture so I'm not whining - but when I look at the flyers in the Sunday paper with new furniture I just get the "fever". I've got willpower - I won't cave.

I'm so glad RW got her check - just confirms that they really are out there!:p

Hee hee! Good. But you'd be better getting it in Euros. The middle east will not be accepting dollars in the near future for Cindy's gas needs...

My wife and I won't be getting any money, so I guess we'll be doing nothing with it. We will, however, boost our savings to pay additional taxes to cover it. And then beg our employers to let us work 4/10's to eliminate 20% of our gas bills... And 85 degrees really isn't all that bad in the house...

Just another pothole in the road of life...

Who would have thought that we would get screwed in April and then stimulated in May?

Mine's going to the local spa. I plan on getting a massage, use the new hydrotherapy tub, and anything else until the money runs out. Might get a manicure. It's gonna be a fun relaxing time. I love mad money!!

Our refund is going to paint the house and DH just bought a new laptop for his computer games :rolleyes:

We've got a GPS unit that includes European maps and a new 35 mm digital camera in our future specifically to use for our move overseas. I'm putting in the request for the camera because it's about time I got something fun.:p I imagine that's where our stimulus check will go.

Oh yeah and this weekend I bought two chairs from overstock.com and a coatrack that reminds me of an alien spaceship. Don't ask - it made me laugh and they took 10% off!!!
