Ugh. I'm likely to not GET a refund. I probably owe money. I always owe money. Can't I just refuse the check, not deposit it or something? I was just going to use it toward paying down bills, anyway. I don't need a freakin' loan.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ann, that's a ferret.
JZ, I vote for what Kat said. It's about as polite a way of saying what I think you want to say.
And I know you didn't ask for validation, but it's perfectly legit to have such strong feelings about certain issues that you can't discuss them rationally. And then to put necessary boundaries on your discussion of them for that reason. I have my own issues where I feel that way, and I have no doubt that others here do, too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Allyson, put it into an ING account and earn money on it before you have to pay it back to them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, he's awesome and all, but...I didn't really want to go stand in line for a few hours to try to get in to hear him make some random speech. Meh.
I went to the inauguration in 97, I guess, and that was just barely worth doing, I confess.

One of the blogs I read had a recent post on Georgiana that included a still of Keira Knightley in costume: [link]
She looks like she's playing dress-up in her big sister's clothes, IMHO.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yes, we'll owe money too. Thanks ever so much for this random money that I will have to pay back!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But this rebate we don't have to pay back....

Crapcakes, Steph!
Allyson, you probably can fill out Form 1040-ES (Estimated Tax for Individuals), write the IRS a check, and send the money straight back. Or do what msbelle said.

Punishingly Intricate
I saw Bill Clinton in person when he was campaigning in SF in '91. He gave a speach at the BART stop by my house. It was electrifying I'll tell you what. But, you know, he promised equal rights for gays to us that day and then turned around and made the whole "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" thing happen when he was elected. Instead of just being pissed off as I would at any politician going back on his or her word I felt personally lied to. I've never forgiven him for that really.
