      Sometime this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus payment.

      This is a very exciting new program. I will explain it using the Q and A format:

      Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
      A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

      Q. Where will the government get this money?
      A. From taxpayers.

      Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
      A. Only a smidgen.

      Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
      A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

      Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
      A. Shut up.

      Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

      * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
      * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
      * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India .
      * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala .
      * If you buy a car, it will go to Japan .
      * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
      * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

      Instead, keep the money in America by:

      1 spending it at yard sales, or
      2 going to hockey/ball games, or
      3 spending it on prostitutes, or
      4 beer or
      5 tattoos.

      (These are the only American businesses still operating in the US ..)

      ***
      I'm going to go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that I met at a yard sale, and drink beer! Just call me a patriot.

      Hey, I hope you are having a great day! Take care and stay strong!

    • Hug

      From SST September 22

      One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

      So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

      Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

      Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

      I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

      I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

      Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

      I LOVE YA!!!

      Live today because tomorrow is not promised..
