Anyone get stimulated?

We got our rebate stimulus and it's gone already. I had it safely tucked away in the bank and then somehow I found myself in a furniture store haggling with some kid. I left him standing there scratching his head wondering where his bonus was going to come from after we got the price down so low. I walked out scratching my head wondering how my wife got me there.

So, I have done my part to stimulate the economy. Not that I wanted to....

Re: Anyone get stimulated?

The IRS screwed me. I owed them like $46 and they were able to take it out of my bank account just fine...but when it comes to direct depositing my stimulus check they didn't seem to be capable. Their website says they'll be mailing me a check on the 16th. Oddly enough, I was going to use it to buy a dresser so mine would apparently be heading to the furniture store as well.

Re: Anyone get stimulated?

Mine went to new tires, a new HD to replace the failed one in my array and to bills. I feel under-stimulated...

Re: Anyone get stimulated?

wow, you really stretched it out, net... I was only able to get a prostitute, a bottle of walker red, and a pair of fuzzy dice with mine. Still, made for a decent congress funded evening.

Re: Anyone get stimulated?

I'm going to buy a pair of shoes... mine are falling apart. The rest goes to daily living/bills most likely.

yeah, it just depends on dependents. I told my kids they bought the new furniture so they better enjoy it. And I told them to stay off my chair.
