    Mine showed up tonight. After quite a bit of deliberation, I decided to buy a leather vest from Ravenswood. 8)

    Good stuff right there! I love his leather crafts but I just can't afford any of it.

    I am investing in some additional professional menswear for my internship in D.C. this summer. Its ironic that I am spending my government refund so I can work for the government.

    I checked my bank balance this morning and the new balance shows that the check was deposited yesterday.

    Ya gotta love that direct deposit.

    Welcome to my world when I was a park ranger.

    One of our LE rangers used to point this out to some of the more irate tourists he would meet -- the conversation would usually begin -- "I'm a taxpayer & I pay your salary!" He would reply, "So am I -- and I never get ahead, because my taxes pay my salary!" :mrgreen:

    It's funny how some people feel negative about getting some of THEIR OWN MONEY back from Uncle Sam! You can spend it wiser than the "guvmint" can.

    With my last two #'s being 95, I'll be waiting awhile yet, but am looking to "stimulate" some local car dealer...!

    Now that I'm a lawyer, I wish I had pursued being a Ranger full time. It was my summer job for a few years in college, but I gave it up for law school.

    Of course, the government still both collects my taxes and pays my salary, so I'm in the hole.

    When i first got out of the Army i worked for the CDF (California Dept. of Forestry and the OES) as a Paramedic. In Yosemite! Besides having the advantage of the Feds equip and assets ( Yosemite is a Federal Park) I got to work in the most beautiful, awe inspiring piece of this earth. Then california went bankrupt and laid off all their county paramedics.
    It was the best job i ever had, and after 8 years in the army it did more to heal me from 2 wars and being screwed up then anything could of. I wish i still had that job. Sigh. Would have been a wholey different life i have no doubt.

    Mine hasn't cleared, yet, either! I have a high number too, so I guess I'll be waiting......
    Of course I'm one of the "evil 70% of the population" who will not use it, as intended:
    I'm paying bills.........
