Check came yesterday. Can't cash it because it needs two signatures and my wife is out of the country. It will end up paying retroactively for a crown my wife recently had installed in her mouth. Easy come...

Once I get this it will pay off THE LAST OF MY DEBT and I will do a requisite I AM NOT IN DEBT post, so wheeeeeee

Congrats, fct. It's a whole new land, a good land, where cattle can grow fat on the wholesome grass and the meadowlark sings to the noonday sun.

Ha -- I rec'd a SECOND check yesterday, "reimbursing" me the amount of owed taxes I paid prior to them sending out my first stimulus check w/ my owed taxes deducted from the original $$$$$$$ SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS $$$$$$$ despite me having paid the owed taxes well in advance (more than 1 month?) prior to the check being cut. GOVERNMENT IN ACTION AWRIGHT

Woohoo! I guess I'll get a second check too! I thought that "we're deducting the amt of tax you owed" was bullshit if we'd already paid it.

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:51 (fifteen years ago) link

ok so that date you get it based on your ss# did yall actually get it on yalls date?? cuz mine is june 27 but i wanna make sure i get it in time to pay the damn rent

it might. it might not. the gov's wheels grind at their own pace and there's no hurrying them.

Aimless, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:53 (fifteen years ago) link

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Sheeeit, I got mine back in May and I barely remember it, it was gone so fast...

kate78, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I rec'd my first check within 7-10 days of the date I was sent (which I don't think was the date tied to my SSN).

David R., Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I kind of thought that L-T was out of the $600 refund bracket.

libcrypt, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 19:06 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm in the $350 bracket, I think.

got that too and shit is like twisting the knife...goin' on a road trip tomorrow and barely have enough $ for gas, woulda been great if the check was here today, but nope, i'll have the money after the weekend, when i don't need it nearly as much. plus I filed w/ direct deposit and had originally assumed i'd be getting this 2 months ago. and fuck, why send a letter a week beforehand? JUST SEND THE FUCKING CHECK IN THAT ENVELOPE ALREADY.

some dude, Thursday, 3 July 2008 22:41 (fifteen years ago) link

If your taxable income was under X (like $10k) you only got $300.

Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feelin's can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
The one and only true love or at least it seems
With brown coco skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin' stare

Finally you come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh no no

CHORUS
CHORUS

It seemed so many times he seemed to be the one
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
In my heart I feel it I'm that special kind of girl

Finally you come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh no no

CHORUS
CHORUS

Finally
Ooooooooh finally yeah yeah
Oh

RAP: True love, a feelin' I never knew
Until you came into my life and now it's real
I never knew that I would find the time
Before you I thought love was blind

And my life was coastin' out my emotion
Too strong for words, you're set for devotion
A-pushin' me from mutual attraction
True love, the chemical reaction

Then my actions
Reflect those of a way to makin' this a better love
A never ending plan like man and wife
Flavourful to my life like a spice

Summon me to death, you're my big mean of protection
My one and only source of affection
So I'm puttin' all games behind me
I've been lookin' for the key to love and I've found it finally

CHORUS (to fade)

some dude, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link

five months pass...

wow, i just got a letter from the IRS copping to the fact that they never sent me my stimulus check.

"we are required by law to mail the economic stimulus payment by dec. 31, 2008. we could issue the check by this date so you will note get the payment based on your 2007 tax account. however, you may be able to claim a credit on your 2007 federal return."

that's not quite as fun.

this display name has the potential to be epically sexy (tehresa), Wednesday, 7 January 2009 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link

we could issue the check by this date so you will note get the payment

i meant "we could NOT issue the check by this date so you will NOT get the payment" obv. so weird, i got the annoying letters saying "we will mail your check out soon!" and then nothing.

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Friday, 9 January 2009 16:27 (fifteen years ago) link

I think we are doing this again. You know since it worked so well last time.
