I Love Home Depot
"We are expanding the back of our house about 10 ft and raising the ceiling in the family room. These are our new back doors. All of our stimulus money is going into our house. We have been wanting to renovate for two years since we moved in. We would have done it anyway, but the money helps. Maybe it'll allow us to pay off some extra debt as well. "

We finally have a dishwasher!
"We remodeled our 1957 vintage, nasty kitchen. The money is going to pay off the debt we charged up to do so. The new kitchen is all stainless steel and cherry. "

A Foreign Fence
"I needed a nice fence around my house. So, I hired some Mexicans to do the job. Now I have a new fence and $400 left of my stimulus check."

Stimulus, my a$$. More like, pay off stuff owed.
"I paid off the plumber who re-did the radiators in this room extension. Every extra penny I get is going into finishing this project, just in time for my son to move out! Ungrateful child!"

Mulch, Mulch and More Mulch
"I bought 25 yards of mulch which included a back ache. Fun, Fun, Fun!"

I shuddered at the cost of shutters!
"Having no debt, I purchased something my wife wanted in our bedroom sitting area - white shutters. I couldn't believe it but three of them ate up all of the check and cost me a few hundred. Hope this sufficiently stimulates the economy. Of course this whole idea violates the basic economic theory of the broken window... worth googling "Parable of the broken window" if you're interested... "

Sitting Pretty
"We bought this new couch for our apartment. The old one wasn't doing too well. This one is suede. Suede! "
