Stimulus Letter
Even though I had my direct deposited, I actually got a letter two days after it was already deposited that it would be coming.
I just read a letter I received from the SM
ASPCA thanking me for my membership and devotion. The letter describes a gift they will be sending in appreciation.
They indicate a gift from "Miss Bea" will be comiing. They tell the story of this darling little dog who was locked in a closet with atrophied muscles from no exercise, etc. This dog was living with pounds of matter fur and living in urine and feces.
The letter went on to say that every time they go into the field to rescue an aminal people like me are with them.
I just needed to share this with you, and to urge you to donate to either the ASPCA or your local animal shelter in behalf of these defneseless animals. The level of cruelty and ignorance is apauling.
I am reduced to tears with emotion at this story, and the fact that I am so appreciated. Thanks for listening.
Anyone else get this letter in mail?
Got letter in mail -- inquiry about 'opportunity' for my service to hire on 50+ MTs including dictation platform - something about an MTSO losing 98% of its hospital business in November and wanting to place these MTs. ? I'm wondering if these poor MTs even know about it yet ??
still no stimulus check !
Anyone else still waiting for their check to arrive via snail mail? Mine was supposed to be here a month ago. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see it. 
try the where's my stimulus check tracker
x
so will there be an actual stimulus check?
and how long will the extra $13 be there?
Not sure about check that he/she received
Did say that it was $1,200 which is what the person would have gotten from the IRS as the stimulus payment, so I'm not sure how it was received earlier than everyone else.
Well I got a notice from the IRS that I could expect my stimulus check by May 30 and I didnt
get it today. I will get mine by mail. I wonder how far off it comes from when they say it will come.
Would filing your taxes late affect your stimulus check?
We filed an extension, and then sent our return out about two weeks late. We are getting a refund, so it wasn't like we owed the IRS or anything. It was just a complicated return and we were just procrastinators.
I mailed my tax return in the end of February and I was wondering when the check will come by mail.
I would think they received it by the beginning of March. It was mailed in and they will be mailing the check back.
My DH spent his check and we have no money for food this week. :(
the jerk
We got our check last week. We electronically filed our taxes
and check was a direct deposit. This will help us with our home improvements.
I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
Tax stimulus
Anybody with a ss# ending in 00-09 get their stimulus in the mail yet? I am not referring to direct deposit...only via mail.
My ss# falls in this category and I don't have a car. Don't want to waste money on a cab to the post office unless I have a pretty good indication that the check might be there. I live in GA.
Thanks
stimulus
Talked to my parents last night. They live in an old-age apt complex and some of the residents have already received theirs. My parents said they each would receive their stimulus on May 10.
where's my stimulus tracker i mean
x
more stimulus news . . .
I just found out that if you had you taxes done by a financial institution like HR Block and you chose to have their fee taken from your refund then you receive your stimulus by mailed check, so you should check the mailing schedule, not direct deposit
you can do the Where's my stimulus form
on the IRS site
Stimulus checks
I had a letter a few months ago but not a week before it should have been mailed. According to the website mine was to be mailed NO LATER than 5/23 - and I still don't have it. :(
stimulus money
I wonder if anyone knows if you're an IC, do you get any stimulus money or if you're on disability, do you get any? If you know, please respond.
Good advice was given here. Suggest vet check-up for kitty needs vet check. sm
I've had 2 females over the years who developed stones/crystals in urine or UTIs. Both of them started spraying inappropriately. Never had a female spray inappropriately other than in these instances. They go into spasm and can't help themselves. If it is a urinary problem, eventually you may see slight pink-tinged spray if it gets that far untreated due to the irritation from constantly trying to pee. One more thought is if the kitty is not sick, maybe the other cat won't let her use the litter box for some reason. Maybe set up another box for her.
IRS stimulus - find out when you'll
Go to http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=177937,00.html and click on where's my stimulus. They just added this yesterday. It will tell you exactly when you are getting yours and how much.
anybody get their stimulus direct deposit yet?
mine's not due till May 9 but I was just wondering if anybody has actually gotten theirs yet.
Info on stimulus payment...
I looked on irs.gov and looked under where is my stimulus payment. It said if you did not send you taxes off until April 15 or close to April 15 you taxes weren't late but the taxes weren't processed by April 15. So you will not get your payment on that date on the schedule. It can be up to 6 weeks later. I mailed mine on April 15 so that is why I didn't get it today.
To all those wondering about stimulus checks SM
who are not direct deposit . . Got mine in the mail Friday and my last two numbers were 06. 
I agree. We have to pay out a lot. The stimulus checks should be for everyone! sm
I owed 4800 this year. BUT no stimulus check. Ok, fine, can accept that btu shoudn't my "stimulus check" go toward what I owe!!! Sorry but my bills are going up just like everone else so I don't deserve any "extra" either??
Sent and received sm
I thought about not sending any but glad I did. I was also going to wait to see who sent to me and immediately write one to them. Then I realized how foolish this was, got out last year's list and sent to everyone, bought the extra stamps and don't care whether I get one in return. No newsletter, hate them! Just feel better that I did it and freed up from it! Merry Christmas!
Received none, but instead of giving one (sm)
which I planned on doing, after seeing something on the news about them, I just decided to give cold, hard cash (no complaints, btw). Anyhow, the news story said that stores profit greatly from them since people lose or forget about them, or buy more than the value of the gift card. So, I decided to just buy 50 one-dollar bills for my son's GF for a better effect LOL.
How many of you received gift cards....sm
and if you got them, were they to places you like to shop? (As for me, I got 4 of them, 1 of which is a Visa debit card that I REALLY love since it can be used anywhere!).
I recently received info
on ViaCord from registering at Babys R Us. I have heard of them before but not participated in such a thing myself. I'm sure they have information online or you could drop by any store and pick up a brochure. I have received it from other places too and this is the only one that I receive.
Best gifts given and/or received in the past? sm
I'd say my best gift I have ever given would have to be my DH's custom made leather wallet with his initials on it about 20 years ago. He is still using it to this day!! Cannot for the life of me remember how expensive or inexpensive it was then though but surely has tripled by now anyways, LOL!
Best gift I received wasn't actually Christmas gift. I would say it was gifts for MT week several years ago. We got a package from our MTSO with a gift to open for each day of the week. Small stuff but was a very nice gesture and tickled to have a new gift each day! Oh those were the good times...........
I received the vaccination for swine flu in the 70s
as I had two small children to care for and I got SO sick from the vaccine I thought I was going to die. Won't take a vaccination for it again. Would rather take my chances in not getting the flu.
Does anybody know the details of when this will be received for us receiving SS?
Know it will be paid in the same manner, i.e., direct deposit, as you receive normal SS check. But the timing is what I am asking about.
When deposited. Know it is to be done before end of May, but just wondering what order or whatever they are paying this $250.00.
What a great topic! I just received an invitation that
stated "Regrets - and the phone number," so I assumed I did not have to call if I was coming. Thanks to all for putting me in my proper place and I will call tomorrow (because it is Easter today) and just confirm that I am attending. I had never received an invitation like that, so I am so happy I have you all to make sure my manners are in the right place!!!
Thanks and hugs!
I am so sad today, can't even work. I received an email sm
this morning from my son's father (we share custoday with him having physical custody) that my son will not be coming home for the summer. I can't argue with him or take him to court because he is my son's soul provider right now. I can't go into why, when, where, etc. Long story...
My son is still very young. We've waited all year for him to come home for the summer. He lives 1,000 miles away. He has 2 other siblings here.
He is just being spiteful. I spoke with my son a few nights ago and he was so excited about coming here. He wants to live here full time, but his dad won't let him. Now, his dad is keeping him from even coming down for the summer because he's so afraid that my son won't want to go back home.
So, because of one selfish person, we all have to suffer - me, my son, his siblings, his stepdad. It's the most difficult situation ever to have to be in. And there isn't anything I can do about it but pray that he change his mind!
If you were in my family, you wouldnt' have received a dime from me. nm

Go to eBay help and type in item not received
it will then give you an option to file a claim.
I received this from one of my interns...Merry Christmas!
’Twas the night before Christmas
And in MT town
Tired MTs were longing
To lay their keys down.
Their earphones were hung
On their skull caps with care
In hopes that new words
Wouldn’t bring them despair.
Some in their sweatpants
And some in their tights
Had just settled down
For a long evening’s type.
When over their headsets
The sounds were so jumbled
They couldn’t quite make out
The words that were mumbled.
They hit the fast forward
Reverse, stop and slow
Trying to make out
The message below.
They checked in their Dorland’s,
Drug books and spellers,
Some called class buddies
Or even asked their fellers.
If they had an inkling
Of what the tape said
Or why someone was trying
To mess with their head.
When no one could answer
They listened less quick
And suddenly knew
The "doc" was St. Nick.
Now he spoke very plainly
Since they needed to hear
For his message was urgent
As Christmas drew near.
It was quite simple
No long words to spell
Dictated but heartfelt
And clear as a bell.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Best wishes and cheer
And thanks from Doc Santa
For your hard work all year
So cute. Received this email about kids and the sea. sm
Subject: Kids thoughts on the Ocean-cute
CHILDREN'S THOUGHTS ON THE SEA
This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly age 6)
If you are surrounded by sea you are an island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are incontinent. (Wayne age 7)
Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)
A dolphin breaths through a butthole on the top of its head. (Billy age 8)
When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William age 7)
I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy age 6)
Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)
When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin age 8)
She received a 160K disability payment sm
Something about a back injury that didn't allow her to work (but did allow her to carry 8 babies? Strong back....?) and she also gets some money for a couple of the first 6 kids who are disabled in one way or another (not sure of the details).
Received this today. If you want a good laugh, please read....sm

I just received a 1099 today, please see message, i have a question
This company sends my 1099 today and sent it in a BLACK envelope so you can't see the date it was stamped unless you put a flashlight behind the envelope and then you can barely see it. Obviously this is late and is only for $310. Do I have to show this to my tax guy? Or is there someone I can get a hold of (BBB) about this? This company was a joke. I only worked three days for them (not going into the details). Anyway, I think they were being very sneaky by sending it in a black envelope.
Thanks
Received this email and made me laugh out loud! Hope it does you too! sm

I need advice. Daughter received a frantic call from a friend, sm
Her friend is at a local sleepaway camp at a local university this week. My daughter is 18, her friend is 17. Anyway, the friend called my daughter telling her she had unprotected sex over the weekend (once) with her 17-year-old boyfriend (they claim it was the first time for each). Anyway, the friend wanted my daughter to pick her up so that she could get a morning after pill. I looked it up on line and anyone under 17 needs a prescription. My daughter had come to me, asking me not to tell anyone. I told her that she should have her friend call her mom. She said her friend thought her mom would freak out if she found out. We found a local clinic, but it is only open certain days of the week, and was closed yesterday, so she's going to try again tomorrow. I've tried to get my daughter to convince her friend to call her mother, that she may freak in the beginning, but parents usually get over it and would want to know.
My dilemma is that my daughter told me this in confidence, and I want her to continue to be able to come to me with anything, yet I wonder if I should call the girl's mother and tell her that her daughter needs help. Or, just wait until she goes to the clinic and pray that she isn't pregnant.
Does anyone have some advice?
You will probably just need a letter
from your vet. But if you have any of the packages from the bad food, keep them, whether they are empty or still full. If they are still full, at least you can show you had been buying them at the time. Just make sure nobody accidently uses them!
letter
I worked for a family practice physician who would send personal letters to the family of any of his patients who died. He also pulled me aside when my dad died and expressed his condolences and told me how much he had enjoyed being my dad's doctor. What a great guy.
A beautiful silk scarf - received one once from a doc, loved it! Plain and simple goes w/anything.
light enough to ship from a fancy dancy boutique.
That was the letter he was given by the teacher. nm

I have already written them a letter that I will
I also suggested they take the "America" off their name as they don't represent America in any form.
Sad letter to granddaughter
My GD has started college now. This is son's child. I have posted here before but for years I was always put on the backburner, her maternal side of the family always came first. I tried, really tried, took the entire family on wonderful vacations, bought clothes, gave them this and that but hardly any visits (passed me by on the way to the other GMs home) - always calls though from DIL but I so wanted to speak with my own son some. Oh, I could see and talk with him when I paid to have work done around my home (although on the maternal's side, GM and great-GM always had yard cleaning, painting, whatever done as freebies.) It really hurt my feelings. My DIL's family have no outside friends, just family and thick as thieves so I was the outsider. I remarried about 7 or so years ago and have wonderful man for a husband, spoils me and we have, in our golden years, much to be thankful for, jobs, travel, wonderful relationship. After my son wanted to give me a tongue lashing about what he perceives me to get in money from my father's estate, I had enough and basically threw in the towel. Just too much to take any more abuse, verbal or otherwise. I get letter yesterday from my GD asking me why did I give up "blood" for my present husband? I could not believe what she said. She said saw her great-aunts more than she does me or even communicates with me- This went on from the time she was born and it was due to her mother basically taking the kids around her family more than me. I used to cry, I was sad but finally just gave up and I mean no visits, no calls, no nothing. I cannot tell her why- she probably would never believe me and why should she? She is her mother's daughter and extremely close to the maternal side. I wrote her back and told her unable to say why, would not be believed anyway- would only cause people to feel worse towards me (I never explained to anyone there why I stopped coming around- just stopped). I have been passed over all these years, just basically ignored when it came to the kids and now this?? I told her I would be the fall guy and to believe the ones she has heard for years, I would have nothing more to say. My father (prior to his death) had given the GD and her brother both $5,000.00 in their high school years to buy their clothing until they got out of HS- her mother spent that but does this daughter know? I kept that a secret- never said anything, would not be believed probably but yet this GD says I bailed when times got tough? My father also gave the GD and her brother (both my g-children) $20,000.00 several years ago for their college- I have no idea if any of that left in the bank as after father's death the parents of these children had access to the accounts- and yet I am to blame for bailing so to speak? I could write a book on this. My heart has been heavy for years but no way could I find to squeeze into their lives and now this. The no visiting and so forth started way before this marriage and now I have a DH who loves and adores me and yet I am catching flak for dropping out. My GD says the bad thing is that I seem to be content with things as they are- I have had to learn to live and accept things as they are if I could not change them and I am content now .Anyone else have a similar problem? Oh BTW, I moved to my new home in 2004- son who lives about 15 minutes away has never been to my new home nor even called.
I think that is really a touching letter. sm
I could send the exact same letter to my mom, unfortunately she is no longer here. Not trying to bring you down, but I am going to start paying more attention to my MIL cooking. She does the Thanksgiving dinner every year and I just make a couple of casseroles. Just may have to spend the day with her which is something I really enjoy doing, most of the time. LOL
