Your checks are coming 4/17

No gubernment checks or deposits for we at this house. Plan to mail out our taxes at the normal time just to have something to do. Figure government needs some income too.
Just sent in my return and check last week. (According to my USPS tracking number, they received it today.) That should help cover payments to about 10 stimulus check recipients.


I wonder if the IRS folks are at work, at least depositing checks that are sent in?

You’ll see how quickly it is deposited!
 
So many of us in retirement have worked long enough to earn our fixed incomes. No chance of ever being laid off again. And the pension check and social security checks are still showing up on time.

In the words of Bobby McFerrin: "DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!"
 
Not around here, that's for sure! Remember, the Houston area has huge Hispanic and Asian populations.


I was thinking the baseball season demise is actually probably a good thing for the Astros. Spares them a great deal of humiliation. Maybe fans will forget by the time baseball returns. I, for one, truly miss my baseball.

Astros? Who are they?

Even no more TV commercials with key players and the HEB grocery store owner....yeah, I miss baseball too, and so does DW, but these guys REALLY crapped in their nest in this town.

Gone here as well, although I bet if you haunted the Latino markets or hit up the farm markets they would probably have it. I tend to buy both by the 25 or 50 pound sack, so no worries here.

Well Thank you.

Probably right, but not any within 30 miles of here. At my age (76), I'm not willing to hunt beans and rice down in a farmers market or in the Asian sections of town.

I'm starting to see toilet paper and other paper products locally (Walmart, Costco) so I would guess the rest of the "hoarded" food items will be available soon too.
 
I got a bag of rice at Costco today. Didn't look for beans.
 
Where can one score beans and rice?



Try an international grocery store. I went to one as someone here suggested. I had wanted to go anyway. Fully stocked except for TP and bleach. They had 25 lb sacks of rice, the biggest I’ve ever seen in a grocery.
 
I don't care. The damage has already been done and will likely continue to get worse. A $2.2T bill that potentially could reach $6T in cost. Only in a socialistic/communistic country. Enjoy the food lines.

Sorry, I'm in a sour mood today.

I love the economist blogs. I don't have a link but they were speculating the cost of a recovery will be around 12 trillion.
 
Haven’t really decided what to do with anything we receive. Only requirement is that anything we buy has to be of U.S. origin, preferrably locally made.
