    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...!

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

    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.

    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.
