  • LAX to PDX

    "I spent my $600 on a train ticket from Los Angeles to Portland. I got a sleeper car as well to fully relax on the 30 hour ride. With the price of gas right now, the train ticket was cheaper than driving!"

  • 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. "

  • Music, grub, babies, and beards

    "First I bought an iPod Nano to listen to while I am in labor in about 5 weeks. Then I spent some of the money on a ridiculous cereal shopping spree. A bit more went to some last needed baby items. And finally, about half of it is in savings for our trip to Anchorage, Alaska next summer for the World Beard and Moustache Championships. Thanks to Bush I can listen, eat, labor, and fondle beards in comfort!"

  • Outer Banks, Out of Mind

    "We're renting a house in the Outer Banks for a week this summer with some friends. The balance of the rental payment is due next week. Like magic, the stimulus dough appeared in our account today. Presto! Free vacation. (Sorry George, I still think you're the worst President ever.)"

  • Bush's Ballyhoo

    "I purchased the completely unnecessary 'Pancake Puffs'. I saw the add on TV one night and new that I could not even justify the $20 purchase. Then came GWB's stimulus check! I used the rest to pay off a credit card, like a responsible American. "

    "450 went to the exterminator to rid my attic of the raccoon. Another 500 to the AC repairman to fix the damage the raccoon did there. And the final 250 to repair the sheetrock damaged by said raccoon. This is me > SAD "

  • No Debt, No Giardia

    "Most of my 600 clams went to paying off the remainder of my credit card debt (feels good to be debt-free), and the rest went to treating a sudden and particularly messy case of giardia contracted by our puppy, Olive. "
