So what are you going to do with your refund?
I've got to put up a new fence...25 years old an it's not looking too good. It's a nice fence though, it waves at everyone that goes by :rofl:

Also need some foundation repair. Six piers on the garage and probably 2 or 3 on the back corner of the house...I think now I will be able to do both with tax credits extended looking at my refund from last year...

Sweetness...


What are your plans?

2. Just spend it. That's what I'll do. I can't say on what, but it'll
get spent, and right away. I have lots of stuff that needs spending on. I'll spend it in my local community, too.

6. Some folks will laugh at anything, it seems...
Sorry, but knowing this will be the start to social security dismantling, takes my "guffaws" away.

17. Sometimes humor works and sometimes it fails
Insulting those who don't appreciate your attempt at humor, really doesn't work, now does it?

24. Thank you. To many, suffering and deaths of real people is a joke.
As a nation, we have lost our humanity.

leaves a lot of us out.

14. retired people/disabled people/ all others that no longer work
They get nothing unless they are fortunate enough to be collecting some sort of a pension that has not frozen COLAs.

Tough luck they say to those that have already paid and paid and paid in the past. We don't need you any more so go away losers. That is how I interpret it. :grr:

:dem:

19. Try to stimulate the economy on our own
We need a new TV.

Also, we need to save a minimum of $3,600 for tickets to Israel in October of 2012.
