Normally I'd recommend that you save or invest it. However, if you are riding a motorcycle without boots, then I highly suggest spending it on good boots.

Here's a story. In the early 90's, I had a crash where I shattered my right scapula. It healed nicely but it will never be as strong as it was and it always hurts a little. Most of the time I don't even notice, only when I really use that arm. Then I started thinking about what would happen if I really damaged a foot. I always use it. So I bought a pair of Daytona Security boots. They only cost $600 in the early 90's. I'm still using those boots so I've already gotten my money's worth.

So get boots and any other protective gear that you are lacking. Some day you'll be really glad you did.

kinky

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on the Triple.Fi.

I was able to net it for $280 BNIB from an authorized retailer. This was done by taking advantage of a promotion to get a free D-Jay, and selling them to net $50.

Then with the sale of other 'phones, I managed to pull out with only $130 missing from my pocket.

Then if i take into account the few cable deals I picked up to help finance this purchase, they are really only costing me about $75. Considering I expected to drop all of my $400 stimulus check on them, I think I did pretty well My savings account is happy.

Nice! I got my triple Fis for net $0 once I knocked over the ATM by my office. A good day in all.

Considering I expected to drop all of my $400 stimulus check ...

Nice.

... half of my stimulus check, but I did the patriotic thing and spent the other half as well.

What check??!

What check??!

Do you live in the U.S. and pay income taxes?

I've been looking into them, and I may just pull the trigger with the arrival of my stimulus check. I'd rather have feet than $300 in my savings account.

Hell yeah!!

Has anybody in California received their Economic Stimulus Checks?

(note: migration erased my location, just re-entered)

My stimulus check was supposed to be mailed no later than the 13th, and I have not received it yet. There website is of no use either.

Is there a reason why you guys didn't have them do a direct bank deposit? We received our check, via direct deposit on May 9th.

I was supposed to be on the 6th and I have not seen it yet.

My stimulus check was direct-deposited this morning! And it will be all but gone by the end of the day...

Last nigh I picked up:

XL (48"x30"x33") Crate

XL Dog Bed For Crate

(2) Stainless Steel Bowls

Collar & Leash

Assorted Dog Toys

Other stuff I can't quite think of right now, all totalling more than $270.

This afternoon I'll be paying the $180 adoption fee.

Man, 3 PM can't come fast enough!

YAY DOGS RULE CATS DROOL

P.S. what kind of dog?

Retired Racing Greyhound.

And in my experience, dogs tend to be the ones who drool, and they both RULE!

very cool. at my old vet i crossed paths with two. both were fantastic and beautiful dogs that exhibited great temperaments. you've got cats? wonderful if they are still prone to chase.

Man, 3 PM can't come fast enough!

Friggen sweet dude, can't wait to meet him/her.

And pics or ban tonight.

Oh, one more thing, I can't wait to hear what Zoe thinks...

My girlfriend's uncle adopted an old racing greyhound. It's a fantastic dog. Congrats.

My wife and I want to someday since we live about 10 miles from a track. Life does not permit the introduction of a dog at this point though.

More wine. I think it is time for counseling....

You mean financial counseling, right? So you can afford more wine. Maybe you should schedule a meeting with yourself?

No I mean OCD, Obsessive Collectors Disorder therapy/couseling. I tried counseling myself but I lost the argument which depressed me so I went out and bought more wine to cheer myself up.
