If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And remember, you'll effectively get the rest next year.

I don't think so - last time it worked that way as an advance upon a (new) future tax cut, but my understanding is that it's set up differently.

I think my mental space at this moment can be summed up thusly: coworker walking by the door, talking about some random thing: "weebles wobble but they don't fall down." I call out "Unless I SMASH THEM."

I just managed to eat my lunch. I think I should have earlier.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"weebles wobble but they don't fall down." I call out "Unless I SMASH THEM."

SO MUCH LOVE

For those who don't have your check yet, like me, you can go here: [link] and it is supposed to tell you where your check is. (Or that they have no info which is what they say if they haven't processed it yet.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The tax rebate is an advance credit for tax year 2008 and will be calculated on your 2008 return. If you're due a higher payment, you'll get the remainder next year when you file. If you received a higher rebate (payment) than you should have, you DO NOT have to pay it back. [link]

I thought I might get the full $900, but it looks like it will only be $600. and I say only realizing that I am a lucky dog wrt refunds.

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

None of it applies to me, dcp. I filed early in mid-March and don't do paper.

ION, my wall tattoos have arrived!!!!! SO HAPPY!

Punishingly Intricate

I got my rebate last week and it's gone.

In related news, I just spent a boatload on a waterproof jacket in case it rains this weekend while I'm riding. I hope spending all that money ensures that it will be sunny and pleasant. That's how the universe works right?

Other thing I got this afternoon was some lucky bamboo from my Chicago um...friend to wish me luck on the ride. so sweet and unexpected!
