  • Hellooooo new kitchen cabinets!

    "Originally we were going to save the stimulus check, but we decided to upgrade our kitchen cabinets instead. They used to be white laminate that was peeling. Now they're gorgeous. Thanks for the "whoopsie check" G-dub. Feel free to "ooh" and "aah" with us!"

  • Blues in (1.2) G

    "Although I considered stimulating the economy by taking it out for dinner and a movie, I decided instead to purchase a Gold Tone roundneck resonator guitar. I always wanted a resonator and figured this was the perfect opportunity. Playing it takes my mind off taxation, Iraq, gas prices, the never-ending election, etc. etc. etc."

  • New Roof - Our "Stimulus" money at work

    "Sorry W, but we didn't get to buy a big screen TV to stimulate China's economy. We were responsible with our money and paid for a new roof. With the remaining $100 we're going to buy some groceries. This "stimulus" money was a great idea! Now our daughter can look forward paying this back some day. "
