It's funny how some people feel negative about getting some of THEIR OWN MONEY back from Uncle Sam! You can spend it wiser than the "guvmint" can.

With my last two #'s being 95, I'll be waiting awhile yet, but am looking to "stimulate" some local car dealer...!

Now that I'm a lawyer, I wish I had pursued being a Ranger full time. It was my summer job for a few years in college, but I gave it up for law school. :D

Of course, the government still both collects my taxes and pays my salary, so I'm in the hole. :)

havent gotten the check yet, but i have already spent it on a helicopter tour for an upcoming hawaiin vacation...so really, it will be a reimbursement check as far as i am concerned.

You want her to buy pants?? :lol:

We got ours today. I'll be ordering an Amerikilt and I'm applying for my Irish Passport.

I'm a skeptic. I'll believe it when I see it! Meanwhile the phishing jerks are out full force, with e-mail scams related to collecting your refund.

When i first got out of the Army i worked for the CDF (California Dept. of Forestry and the OES) as a Paramedic. In Yosemite! Besides having the advantage of the Feds equip and assets ( Yosemite is a Federal Park) I got to work in the most beautiful, awe inspiring piece of this earth. Then california went bankrupt and laid off all their county paramedics. :(
It was the best job i ever had, and after 8 years in the army it did more to heal me from 2 wars and being screwed up then anything could of. I wish i still had that job. Sigh. Would have been a wholey different life i have no doubt.

Mine will be forwarded to one or more of the following:
A.) Barb T
B.) Matt
C.) Kathy Lare
D.) Rocky R
E.) Jerry
F.) Nick - if I feel like stimulating the Scot economy.!

Mine direct deposited this week and will be going towards extensive pool repairs to get ready for the summer! :D

My tax refund was deposited yesterday.
My economic stimulus check has not arrived yet. My SS number ends in 26.

I may have to spend it on my daughter's wedding on the 25th.
