Did my taxes well ahead of time, and got two 20" 4:3 LCD monitors back in February - true 8-bit panels, good contrast and response, built-in USB hub. Can't go wrong with dualie action. Thankfully I don't have debt to pay off anymore, otherwise it would have gone towards that.

Curves — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 08:08:59 EDT

@Mandatory_Field: No, or she would be for sale on Ebay now.
I was vacuuming (a hobby) and it started to make a noise I can only describe as a machine screaming in agony. Smoke started billowing out, so I turned it off and unplugged it, which is the extent of my technical know how. I found a lot of little broken pieces of plastic on the floor, so whatever happened to it, it was fatal. Hence, the new vac.

4k refund... bah! Well I am going to put the bulk of that money into the bank because next year I will hit with a big fat tax bill. I went into business for myself near the end of last year and now I need all the write offs I can get. I am NOT looking forward to next year whatsoever....

Actually, anyone who uses this refund for anything else other than to pay off debt or to buy locally produced American (not imported) goods aren't going to help at all.

If you use it to buy imported electronics the money is going out of the country essentially. Am I correct?

I'd love to spend a little chunk of mine on a new Wacom tablet and stash the rest, but that's not going to happen.

I need to move later this year, and both the refund and the stimulus check are going toward a basic set of half-decent furniture for the new place, so I can kick the entire load of shabby junk I live with now to the curb on the way out the door.
