Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

telltale orange oily mess...

Yeah, that's a tale that needs telling.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Allyson, I was expecting it by direct deposit on May 2 (based on SSN), and I just yesterday got something in the mail saying I should expect it May 16. Methinks they're running a little behind schedule.

I got mine this week, and I should have had it May 2 as well. Which, you know, was inconvenient.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I shake myfist, you late-SSN-ian usurper!

I think for the early deposits, it depends on when you filed (i.e., people that filed close to the April deadline may have to wait a bit for things to be processed).

As I'm in the last batch (and I filed in February!) and not scheduled to receive anything until July, I'm afraid I have little sympathy...

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

Fist shaking as well!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As I'm in the last batch (and I filed in February!) and not scheduled to receive anything until July, I'm afraid I have little sympathy...

I'm with you. Also, I'm not planning anything around the money, so when it comes, it'll be like a bonus.

Well, I've been a bit overbudget and not saving enough towards my October vacation in Utah, so it will probably go towards making sure I have enough for that (the goal being to pay cash for everything). The fact that I'm getting it later just makes it enforced savings I guess.

I just yesterday got something in the mail saying I should expect it May 16.

I got that letter too, but I'm expecting mine via snail-mail. Any chance they've lost your direct deposit info?
