No prob.

Here's a site I use quite regularly when checking out travel destinations. Obviously, this particular portion is on Oregon.

Have fun!! I'm jealous. However, I'll be out there for 2 1/2 weeks in late September (well after the kiddies are back in school)

I've heard of people like you. "My s__t don't stink."?


It was true! That's why we didn't think "raw sewage" right away.

Also, it was because it wasn't solids. The solids weren't making up to the surface so the gravel drive was acting as sort of a filter. But still...you can't have that public health hazard around.

And even with a professional it took them half a day longer because my house had a weird old house plumbing configuration and they missed an outflow pipe from one of the kitchens at first. But then they found it but it was night so they came back the next day to fix it. So we didn't use the kitchen sinks for an evening...

Plumbing is always a pain...

How does one get one of the gov't rebate checks? Is that the same as the annual tax refund?

I am still deciding between (perhaps, mixing it up some):

Towards Painting House

Landscaping Project

Local Restaurant(s)

Some Home Repair (i.e. Building Shelving In Garage)

Misc. Shopping - Various Local Shops


How 'bout you? Any ideas?

Default Stimulus check

If you file a return, showing income, you should be getting a check in May. I think this is getting returns in earlier. (Glad I don't do tax prep, extentions are the norm for some, but that might have a bearing the "rebate?").
Mercifilly don't have to buy/ repair coin op washer.....tennant called back, found out it works better w/ the water on! New roof is my plan to stimulate the econ!

I'm going to take my token check (given back to me by the parasites who stole it from me in the first place) and give it to the local parasites who will steal in it in the form of property tax, of course I will need to add a few thousand more to the token check.

What a farce!

we need to renew our passports $200 just to have them current, and we want to spend a semester with the grandkids in Hawaii before we have to grow up and make any final plans for the rest of our lives. ATL will have to wait. The money will pay the vet fees to keep the kitties out of quarantine over there. Anything that's left over, hah, will go towards that adventure. I refuse to but junk I don't need to "pretend" to "bolster the economy."

I'm going to put some 20'' rims on my Geo Metro or buy a Hickey Freeman Suit. Haven't decided yet.

Would putting it towards a down payment/moving expenses/furniture in a relocatoin to ATL count as spending it locally?
