Stimulated!

I just got my stimulus check! Sweet! What should I buy? I've been thinking about that for some time now. I could *almost* fill up my oil tank and take a gamble that says the price of heating oil *won't* drop over the summer. That'll be like having another stimulus in October!

I could buy a wicked sweet new push mower, rather than continue to mess around with the old one I have now held together with vicegrips and started with a piece of old shoelace.

I could get a couch! Well, not really a couch, probably a love seat, and maybe have enough left over for an end table and two 40 oz of Steel Reserve.

A gun! I could buy the bad ass 12 gauge double barrell bounty hunter short shot gun I've wanted forever, and have enough money left over for cartridges. Stimulate the economy AND excercise my 2nd ammendment rights! Now that's patriotic.

What are you all doing with your stimulus?

Yeah dude, I just checked my bank account and mine hit too! Super badass.

As for your ideas, nix the couch and get a sweet recliner.

I don't know what I'm going to do with mine, strangely enough. I've usually always got some stupid idea that I'm willing to blow $600 on, but at this moment, the stupid idea escapes me. Maybe I'll save it (gasp) until a stupid idea comes naturally, rather than try to force a $600 stupid idea on the spot.

I can't stand it! I think I'm "over-stimulated"!

Alright, this $600 is really burning a hole in my pocket.

Let's brainstorm terrible things to spend it on.

R/C Airplane
Playstation 3
1:32 scale slot car racetrack
Surround sound for my bedroom
The $800 dirtbike for sale down the road

PS3 has been on my mind too, but to be honest, I think I'm just gonna be a major lame-o and keep my money and not use it to boost the economy.
Cavutto on
Uhhh...yeah dude. That's totally lame and responsible.

How much do you think parrots cost?
TheJoeD on
$600 might buy you an entry level parrot, but have you considered other factors? Parrot insurance? Subscription to a newspaper to line the bird cage with?

I'm married and I have a kid so I get $1500 dollars and I plan on using it just to survive the summer, which is my most difficult time of year financially because my income is not supplemented by my two teaching gigs.

So we'll probably get through this summer without bouncing a check...

...not so stimulating, huh?

Hey, I just got another idea of how to blow it all recklessly. I was thinking that it might be nice to have new sheet/cover/pillow set for my bed. Dude, that shit runs wicked high when you need king size. That would be pretty great because I spend altogether too much time in bed.
Cavutto on
Nevermind that last comment. Something smells 'responsible' about it.

I need toys.
TheJoeD on
Yeah dude, you don't need sheets in the summer time.

We should pool our checks and build the greatest diorama ever.

Must be nice to actually GET one...apparently we are freakin millionares and make too much to get one even though we paid for it times 1 zillion. Enjoy my tax money, peeps.
