Mmmmm. Stimulants.
My heating oil bill was $610 over budget this year. I think I'll write the government to request $10 more, please.
I'd laugh at the gas one if I hadn't just spent SEVENTY DOLLARS filling up the tank!
17) two words: Butt. Plugs.
($600 worth of butt plugs is truly an awe-inspiring sight).
68a) gifting Pinko Punko with EVERY Bad Religion album on iTunes.
1) 12 minutes of video games with Kristin of the Emerald Club
BP, at least you get $600. I am not getting the full rebate -- I made too much.
Thanks, Bush. I thought us rich peeps were sticking together. (And by rich, anyone who makes over $30K a year, without kids, and owns a home.)
It's not really a rebate. It's and advance rebate against your 2008 payments; if you don't make enough money to pay $600 in taxes, you'll end up owing more.....
wheee. anything these guys do is desigend toscrew somebody over somehow, isn't it?
who the hell is sally, and why does the IRS hate her?
Bourbon. Lots and lots of bourbon.
men D shows up and drops an all-purpose comment.
It's what's for dinner!
Me, I'm getting a home bourbon distillery.
Still haven't gotten mine. I like to refer to it as my "government check" - sounds so much drrrtier.
1a) hospital bills.
I guess that's not very funny.
Is that a stimulus package in my mailbox or is it just happy to see me??
We got a letter saying it should be here by now, but if it's not... wait about 6 weeks and then call. That sounded so bogus. The gov, the ultimate tease.
11-3000) Diapers, formula, strollers, baby bottles, car seats, day care, Dr. visits, crib, pacifiers, stuffed animals, baby wipes, anti-nausea medication (see diaper, changing of), musical fish (not me), baby blankets, rectal thermometers (for the baby BP!).
Oh yeah and what MenD said.
Good stuff as usual. I love the additions.
I'm on the road for work this week and probably won't get to blog until the weekend.
Um... I'll spend my money by... Oh wait! I don't get a check. I just get a nice "Screw You" from the government.
Everyone hates Sally, BP.
Hate is an awful thing. Morrissey supposedly cures that.
