No stimulus check here....I already had it spent but just found out that pension income doesn't qualify unless you worked for the railroad or military. I should have known - I blame Bush!!!

don't know
Some things I've read say I will get a check, others say not. I won't hold my breath.

Still working and the IRS says I am not eligible due to my over-achiever stressed-out fool status. I wish I was retired and making less...seriously, that would be sweet. One more year and I will (hopefully) have enough to compete for a rebate.

According to the payment schedule, I should have received my deposit by Friday, but I haven't.
Is anyone else waiting on a late deposit? |

To "celebrate" getting a new j*b, I stimulated the
COOLPIX S51 from Nikon I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT, but I wanted a compact, snapshot camera for casual use. Next up: new gas grill... Come on, folks, let's stimulate...

*Thread Hijack Alert* I don't get the whole 'stimulus' concept. The February, 2008 budget proposal estimated a total federal deficit this year of $410 billion (many private economists believe $500 billion is more like it). Since spending apparently cannot be reined in, it seems obvious that tax revenue desperately needs to be increased, not rebated. *Thread Hijack Ends*

Does that mean I have to give the camera back?
Btw, I agree wholeheartedly, that if we can't restrain government spending, then we should raise taxes.

Now you tell me...
Paid $162.50 at Wally world, and the thing is about the size of a pack of smokes, so I'll make do. Now, on to the grill. Someone recommend a grill in the $350-$500 range, before I buy...

Woo-hoo!!! I got my $600 stimulus check a day early. It was scheduled for tomorrow, May 16th.
Of course, my #$)(^*& bank says it is a "pending" deposit and doesn't yet say what it is, but says it is available. I don't customarily get scads of $600 deposits so I know that is what this is. Anyway, I have to say this is exciting!!! I am not quite sure what I will do with it, yet. Basically I have given myself permission to blow it on whatever I want, anything at all, y'know?  But if nothing arouses my interest in the coming month then I will be good and add it to the good ol' nestegg.
