Wife and I also got ours more than a week ago.  But I sent all mine and some of hers to Dennis Carpenter

Good use of the green!!!

That's why they call them "stimulus" payments.........need to stimulate the economy!!

Uncle Donald's money will go towards new tires for my truck.

I got my stimulus in the form of a debit card and spending it on wagon parts .

Rich, in the few years that I've been here, this thread has always generated some traffic, so I hope that you don't mind that I stole your idea for another forum that I've been on for quite some time. I just think the title and subject matter fit the bill perfectly

P.S. I mentioned that I copied it from you and gave you all the credit; I just think it something that we needed to boost participation since the forum got "taken over/sold" to corporate America.
thanks again.

I don't mind at all, thanks for letting me know. I'm curious what other forums you're on

It's hard to make a comment without it seeming political. But as a blanket statement I know a lot of people including myself that didn't need them.

[mustang6984]

Add me to your circle...

[RICH MUISE]

Yeah, us too, but as I said it is not only for the folks that DO need it but for the folks that will be helped when we spend it at their places of business. I wouldn't think too many are stuffing it under their mattress. The tough part is a lot of the younger generations are going to be paying it back over the years via higher taxes. I don't see it as a political discussion, it's not a one side vs the other thing. Lol, now that sentence is bordering on political.
BTW, I went to IRS.gov and clicked on the button for tracing payments. The pop-up that said official use only, not for unauthorized use.......I clicked on it, and 3 IRS agents were at my door 10 minutes later. No seriously, I clicked on it, and following up on the stimulus payment is apparently an authorized use. Very strange wording! After entering my info it said we were scheduled to have a check mailed out Jan 6. Our first payment was electronic deposit, so not sure why a paper check in the apparently veeerrryyy slow mail.
Bill, you said you got a paper check.....were you expecting that?

[hiball3985]

Thats strange Rich, both first and second of ours were electronic.

[mustang6984]

If they mailed it...you may not see it until NEXT year. The mail has become one of the most undependable functions of the government...taking over 3 weeks to go 1/2 way across the country.

[RICH MUISE]

Yeah, my wife baked some cookies and sent them to the kids in Atlanta. Mailed 10 days before Christmas, they were delivered 3 days ago.

Rich, I'm on several forums; boating forums, fishing & hunting, a Blackfin Boat forum, several F150 forums as well as a few Bronco forums.

Rich my paper check was expected (not that fast, the first one took forever) as I do not do business on this machine or any other machine.  I like paper, signatures in blue ink and doing business face to face.  I don't own a "smart phone", just a flip phone that calls and answers calls for travelling. It won't even take pictures of my pocket!

I bought some Edsel sales literature off ebay, shipped the 28th, tracking said it was put on my porch the 11th at 6:45PM.  That didn't happen as we were home waiting for the game to start.  Post office says "There's nothing we can do, it was delivered".  They said I have no recourse.  Guess I'll just have to eat it and wait until they find the package....
