Just thought I would throw this question out there... I'm torn between paying off my credit card or spending it like we should be doing to stimulate the economy. There are soooo many things I would love to buy with this money... I'm thinking of a new camera or a new purse... I would like a new TV, but the one I want is about $4000 - considerable more than the $600 they gave me...

So what are y'all going to do with this money?

Mags is flying to England for a bit, then to Malta to spend time with Daddy-o. The money is gone daddy gone. lol

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

My hubby already indicated that he'd like to spend this so that the money really serves the purpose it was extended....to stimulate the economy. Just not sure what to get yet. He was eyeing that 42" Samsung flat panel HDTV in Best Buy the other day. I think he's on his way to making up his mind :lol: Next step is for him to convince me to make up mine :D
