It just doesnt make sense to me that that the govt is sending everyone checks, leaving it in the general publics hands to make good decisions, you know how many will spend it gambling or on other stupid crap? If I understand it, the goal is to help spur the economy AND help people with tight money issues.

Why dont they save this money and instead put it intoreducing gas prices for a few months or reduce the cost of other necessities that will affect everyone in a good way?

It worked the last time it was done.Spending money is spending money and it goes back into the economy regardless of what it is spent on.


You get the money so use it for gas if you want,that is the same thing as reducing the gas price.

.17 will work perfect.

I am partial to my 22 250 because I like to shoot yotes as well (long range style)

I've invested enough money in my wedding so far that I could've had a nice down payment on a piece of hunting ground, and I'm not even halway there yet! :D
Ahhhh...the joys of getting married at 39. We had 8 people at our wedding......including us and the preacher.;)

Let's see......they get to tax the $$ they're giving us back via income tax returns we file in '08. Just about everything purchased will require us to pay taxes on those goods as well.

Plus....the money's gotta come from somewhere.....so we're likely being charged higher taxes in other areas to cover the costs. Well.....some are, anyways.

And MOHO......I went to the mall with Lisa on Sunday and we picked out several butt floss's on sale@ VS for $2.99/EA. 1/2 price....and I get the ones I want!:)

Actually, MN, although saving the money would be a great idea, the point is that they will SPEND the money thus spurring the economy. If they don't spend the money, it doesn't do much for the economy. So, go buy your bows (or guns, or other hunting gear), guys!!

Well I have a Double Bull Dark Horse blind on order. I also want to buy some new clothes from Scent Blocker, their new outfit is the bomb even if it had no carbon. I also have an Airborne 101 and 82 on order. $600 won't go near far enough:(but it will be nice:D

I also got engaged on this past Christmas Eve. Between buying a ring and buying a house,(which I am in the process of moving into)most of it will be going towards paying off some bills. I might keep a little stash for a couple items that I have been wanting.[:-]

This guy will be using his refund toward an all-inclusive Julyvacation to the Dominican Republic with the wife and some friends. I plan on playing volleyball with people who don't even speak English, sucking down dozens of El Presidente beers,consumingPina Colada by the gallonand admiring all the topless european chicks scattered around on the beach.

That's just how I roll.

If I have a few extra dollars floating around - I might do another Marlin/Dorado trip, too.

Man, I saw 10 lifetimes' worth of bodacious tataslast time. I'm hoping to raise the bar this time around. Maybe take some more (and better) pictures of some of the "scenery."

Trying a new resort this trip - anotherSpanish chain- I kinda hope there are hardly any Americans there. American chicks like to keep their tops on. The euros are quiet and keep to themselves, but theybare it all without a moment's hesitation.

The only drawback is the european guys and their choice of swimwear. Nothing quite like a 330 pounder wearing a slingshot and parading around the resort in it. I could do without that.

I'm gonna call BULL, because I think ALL of you married guys are kidding yourselves thinking you're gonna see one penny. I already know where it will go IF we get it anyhow. I'm about 3/4 the way through remodelling my house, and that $1800 (IF we actually get it), would be a good start on "THE MAN ROOM." But that's just so she can get me out of the upstairs and down to the basement, and she don't have to watch football, baseball, and hunting shows throughout the year.

I may even have enough left over after that to buy a soda.

What resort? I went to DR last February. I stayed at Grand Palladium Bavaro - Royal Suites.

Only in Punta Cana can you find something like this. I think the locals built it. There was some duct tape used in the construction of this bad boy.........lol. I need to build one of these someday.....



Edit**** - Lots of european chicks there topless, that's for sure. Most of them were pointing at the pavement though......and the men wearing banana hammocks were just out of control.......lol.

Matt - we did our destination wedding at Grand Palladium - our whole wedding party stayed at the Royal Suites. Small world. Wow.

We're staying at the Edenh Real Arena this time. It just opened 2 weeks ago, sowe got a good price. Itruly hope that the "scenery" is the same. Ifnot, I will be sad. [&o]

Quik -- You don't have to go as far as the DR to be able to vaction in this atmosphere.

It's because of the american men like this....lol

It will probably work better this year if you remember to put the patato in the front of your speedo not the back.

Windfall? A windfall would be if they forgot to tax me for a year or two, then I'd buy a new truck! And, the rate at which Congress works, we might get it just before the fall hunting season starts, if at all.
