I'm paying off bills with mine. After that's over and done with, maybe I'll have a slushie.

Guns, lots of guns the zombies are coming.

Subby, no hookers and blow?

I'm disappointed.

I'm purchasing a motorcycle, so the "give them $600 and they'll spend more" plan worked on me. But being Active Duty doesn't leave me with many other bills currently, and my 15 year old car is progressively getting worse and worse gas mileage, so in the long run, I might end up somewhere around breaking even or with a small gain, especially if I can sell the bike in 3-4 years.

Seconded.

you can't go wrong with this

Just because I think this rebate is political pandering and a monumentally stupid decision on the part of our government, and because they want me to spend it right away, I'm going to put it in my savings. It's my way of flipping them the bird for being so careless with my tax dollars.

Herbs...

/Go Green

I'm buying groceries after I put it in the bank. Not that I can't buy groceries now. But this isn't going to be any special sum of money that instantly gets me out of anything. My household doesn't have debt, besides the accumulated credit card, which we pay off monthly.

It seems the reasonable way to live, to me. We're looking at houses now, and I don't want to have to kill my savings for it.

So $600? meh. Into the bank with the rest of it.

/little miserly

I'd like a really long straw that reaches across the room and allows me to drink Weaver's slushie. Drink it up.

3 car payments.

Those nut-job liberals at the Washington Post had an interesting idea on the editoral page yesterday: Give it to one of the charities like Fisher House that works to help wounded vets with the things the goverenment is too cheap to help out with, partially because of this rebate.

I'm sure there's a flaw in their reasoning, but I couldn't find it.

It's going in the bank account that I use regularly for regular stuff. I'm going to save this, along with whatever other money I can, to fund a vacation to see my parents and siblings, and then pay off credit card bills.
/one $1,500 bill down
//one $2,000 and one $4,000 bill to go

i invested mine

Putting it in the bank to help fill the hole Uncle Sam dug on April 15th.

wireless-n router.
wireless-n pccard.
whatever is leftover i'll spend on toys and grooming supplies for the dogs.

4 barrels of oil.

Most of ours is paying off the $900 we owe for federal taxes so it's pretty much a wash for us. As far as the remaining $300 goes I'm sure my wife will find some way to waste it.

Credit card, hunting rifle, and bullets.

I'll be wiping out some debt. And that is all.

Mine will probably end up as beer, one way or another.

I don't qualify for the rebate. :(


/would have been hookers and blow

It's my money and I want it now!

/waits impatiently
//waiting doesn't generate interest.. hurry up

Car payments, RAM for my laptop

Stocking up on supplies, guns, ammo, porn, and training myself for the apocalypse with Fallout 3.

Paying off beds, including one no longer being used by my Buddhist-in-training, strawmat-sleeping kid.

/room to let, cheap. Inquire within.

This Mark Morford is an asshole...


I wonder what his Fark handle

Transferring into savings accnt

I bought new windows for my house & didn't have to make up the difference from my savings account. Of course I did consider buying 1200 lottery tickets.

Buying a new TV and sound system, only not really because I've been planning for the TV since last year. So really it's just going to replace the money I had already saved up anyway, but now I get to look irresponsible while I shop.

The correct option is always C.
Naw, just kidding. Buying a TV. Zero debt and a 15-year hand-me-down TV. My electronic devices will thank me.

I didn't get one, either.

Probably would have gone to pay off credit card debt, sadly.

*reads article*

Holy crap. Good thing he has his own column. If he didn't vent every once in a while, his head might explode from all the bullshiat-produced methane.

If people would like to do something a little teensy bit noble and stuff, I'm raising funds for breast cancer research by taking part in the 60-mile Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk in Washington, DC. I've got to raise $2200 as a minimum just to take part in the walk and I've got (as of this posting) $515 to go. (Needless to say, I'd like to raise much more, as almost all of the money goes toward breast cancer research and prevention.)

If anyone would like to throw $10, $20, or even $50 (or more, hey, I'm not overly proud), the URL to donate is http://supportjayinthe3day.shorturl.com.

Every penny helps, folks -- and who knows? Money spent toward finding a cure or effective treatments might save the life of someone you love some day.

Poker tournament on Monday

Paying off credit card bills, then going shopping with Manic_Repressive's wife.

*notices jayfurr*

Oh, yeah. Charity. Right. I meant that, instead.

Mine will probably go towards bills... Either the car repair bill or towards my student loans. Bummer, too... I'd have loved to have gone to see my sister-in-law for a few days over the summer.

I'm using it to pay for my divorce. Take *that*, George!

It's all a lie and you're wasting your money and disgracing yourself begging. So stop.

I'll be spending on furnishings for my new house. Assuming anybody buys my current house, that is.

/it's a nice house
//big yard, pool
///nobody wants it

Paying off debt and then with the $50 or so left over buying beer.

I guess I could use it to hit the Vegas strip. Of course, that's only a 10-15 minute drive, so I'm not sure what the big deal is.

I'm trying to convince the wife to get a boob job.



//Really

Beer, food, gas, and pot. Just like where the rest of my money goes.

Gasoline. We're driving from OK to GA. And back. Anything left after that goes to beer since I'll be headed back to Kuwait for ANOTHER YEAR, 2nd in a row.

Not eligible. Made too much on Apple stock last year.
You guys should use yours to buy iPods/iPhones/Macs.

/...along with the hookers and blow of course

cazman: TMBGfreak: Subby, no hookers and blow?

Seconded.

I'm still lookin for hookers and blow! Wish me luck!

Buy a bunch of Snorg T's so I can stay warm, and fashionable during the coming Nuclear Winter.

I'm going to void the check and mail it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, with a note asking them not to raise the debt on my account.

/which is the same thing I did with the last "rebate"
