Water Therapy
"Since my husband is retired and a 100% disabled veteran he only got $300.00! Since he doesn't pay taxes any more...(is there something wrong with this picture?) I didn't make enough from SS to pay taxes either so I only got $300.00 (hmmm children who never worked got that much!) but I don't want to seem 'ungrateful' because we indeed appreciated the money and did our part to stimulate the economy!
We bought a 'whole house water filter.' It will save us money eventually on buying those expensive refrig. filters! We also plan to spend the balance on a pool cleaner a real luxury for us, as my husbands service connected injuries include a really bad back, so this will eliminate having to spend at least an hour each day pushing that pole around the pool..now he can actually get in it and exercise! (uh, me too )"

You realize that this "stimulus check" is just credit against your next years tax bill, and you say you didn't make enough to pay taxes so why would you complain about getting anything at all? You got back more than you paid in!

i BELIEVE if you will read my comments I SAID , we aren't complaining! (but remember we paid taxes for more years than most of you are old!) Since we find ourselves in the 'strange' position of not paying taxes for a few years,(legally that is!) we indeed appreciated being included, but then there were people we know who 'forgot' to pay taxes for about 3 years,(not so legally!) and as long as they were on a regular 'payment plan' they got the 'full rebate'!!!
not complaining , just verifying the facts!

I never got the sense that you were complaining. Right on! Don't listen to him.

Hey that's great. Keep sucking down the social security that I've been paying for, yet won't be there when it's my turn.

Your husband has a bad back...that's crazy, he looks like he follows a strict diet.
Awesome pool you have!
