The Kitchen Table

We got our check......

15 years ago

It was just one.(The government check) I guess I don't get one...Just Denny.

He thought we would get two because we file jointly.

Oh well...

This whole thing makes me want to upchuck! Avian Flu is a NON-issue. Only 27 people have died worldwide in the years and years that it has been a known entity. Recently an aquaintance asked me if I wasn't scared of "messing with those chickens". The answer is a resounding, "NO!". My chickens are much less likely to harm me than the regulations, meddling and controls being imposed upon me by this renegade government. Do you know who is a major investor in the pharma that produces Tamiflu? Better check that out......it might give you a great deal of insight into just why, all of a sudden, those two dozen hens in your backyard are so very dangerous. I have just been reading some of the proposed/upcoming rules and regulations that we are about to be hit with and it looks to me like I will have to get rid of most if not all of my animals. Who can afford to pay between $5 and $50 to "register" every tiny chick that hatches and then pay more to report the "incidents" in their lives....the deaths due to predators,disappearances, new births/hatchings, who bit the dust for dinner last evening etc. and all movements of those creatures. Your child will not be able to ride his pony to his grandma's overnight without either filing a report (cost unknown) or risking the seizure and destruction of the pony. This huge bureaocracy that is being foisted upon us is going to cost us untold amounts of money, cause the loss of our backyard flocks and other farm animals,and who is going to profit? The corporations that are producing the ID tags/chips and Microsoft (for producing the computerware to keep track of it all.....not!). We, the people will gain nothing from it! There is nothing Needed nor Positive about it!

I decided we were going to go on the smoothie kick too. We have to make some changes. we went to GNC and got their protein powder, they have a diet plan for it. Several were on sale and the big containers were buy one get one half off. He also told me about the green coffee bean extract pills that he put his mom on along with the same powder diet plan and she was losing weight so I got some of them. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and I looked at the Nutribullet, black magic bullet, the Ninja professional 700wat and decided on the Ninja since it had the most powerful motor. I had a 20% off coupon. We will shop tomorrow after we clean out the fridge, freezers, and pantry. I hope we like it.

We got an offer on our home after it was taken off the market.

Typically, a listing agreement has a period of time after expiration where you would owe commission ONLY IF the potential buyer had viewed the home BEFORE the listing expired. If you find a buyer on your own now, you won't owe commission. However, you need to be sure they didn't attend one of the open houses etc or have a private showing. Your former agent has access to all the sales data from the MLS, so they will be able to check up on you to make sure you are honoring the contract. If your buyer is really "new" to the property, you don't need to involve the agents. Even if your state has a "standard" contract, you should still have a RE lawyer represent your interests. It will only be a couple hundred bucks and will protect your biggest asset. As to how to proceed, ask the potential buyer to submit a formal written offer. That will let you know pretty quickly who you are dealing with.

Finally able to post here again. Probs with using upper case letters in my user name. Even so when I tried to log on this morn. first few times I was asked to register as a new user then with exactly the same user name and password i was able to log on??? Don't mind being asked to log on in order to post - it happens in a lot of forums - just so long as the bloody log in system works. Re mummsies security alert when visiting this page. If you keep your eye on the status bar as this site loads you will note that we are served data from DoubleClick.com. This company a well known advertising server on the web. Probabaly giving us a dose of tracking cookies to watch our journeys across the net - all the better to serve us ads based on our net preferences. Reasonably harmless but some anti spyware tools (Pest Patrol especially) identify this as spyware and give you a security alert. Can I just suggest a cooling off period whilst things settle down and shelve all talk of setting up alternative sites. Seen this type of thing happen a few times on forums I've belonged to. All these splinter sites do is dilute the available number of posters, split the communities into less functional, viable and interesting sub groups and then usually collapse through lack of interest. Would prefer things as they were but would hate to see this place denuded of some good posters because of the ham fisted efforts at "improvements" by the curent owners. Maybe they'll learn something from this little debacle - I hope so. Larry

Mine will probably be next week. My last 2 digits are big ones. Almost the max.
Good for you Patti. I'm glad it came for you.

I've heard lots of talk about these cheques you guys are getting, can I ask a question? Does the money just come off next year's tax refund? So if you were going to get a refund of say $3000 next year and this year you get a cheque for $1000, do you only get $2000 next year? Just curious.

And what if your taxable income changes over the year and next year you don't get a refund, would that mean you would have to pay back this cheque?

casey...no. It has nothing to do with refunds, and does not have to be paid back in any way.

I think ours is due next week. Happy Day. Casey I just wonder what comes next. Better grab the money and run while you can.

We aren't due to get ours until the middle of June, and it will be a paper check rather than direct deposit.

Pattico--if you filed jointly, it should have been one check, but with BOTH your rebates. Ours turned up in our checking account this week. One deposite of $1200--$600 for DH, $600 for me. And I didn't work last year and haven't so far this year.

Mind you, I immediately wrote myself a check for $1200, and transferred it to a different account (in my name, solo). Of course, that was with Dh's permission, and it's the account we'll be using to buy the retirement home. Which I'm pretty much funding on my own, he's just going to pay for the utilities, if we get one.

Does it depend on how much you made?? Dh thought we would get 1200 also since we file jointly.He's retired from the Marine corps ,and we both get SS,as well as a small retirement check for me.We got it yesterday and it was just 600.00.He was dissappointed,i told him it's better than nothing and money we really didn't expect,before all this stimulus bru ha ha.

Yes, it does depend on income. From what i've seen, unless you have measurable investment income outside of SS, the rebate is $300/ea.
