If couples get a $1600 rebate and individuals get $800, what is the nearest percentage you will spend on pen related items including tools, kits, and blanks.

It's truly sad that a simple poll turns political. Can any of you tell me what this has to do with the poll?

I found it kind of funny that gas went up a nickel day after "Super Tuesday", what's up with that. And they can't figure it out, I call it price gouging.

Safe Turning......

By the way a new dust collection system will be on the way when the money comes

Where are you getting the $800 and $1600 figure. Last I heard was $600 and $1200 ant the Senate wants to broaden who receives it and lower it to $500 and $1000. Or did I miss something somewhere????

Since you asked....
Yes, it was a two part poll question.

1. We are getting money in the mail.
This part of the question is an essay, since there was no multiple choice. Some chose to expand on the essy side of it as to who, what, where and why we are getting this money. Or should I say MY money or YOUR money they are passing out. (what can I say, tis the time of the season and its in the air)

2. This part of the poll is what we are going to do with the money.

I chose to answer both parts of the poll. Nothing political, just answering the questions.

Now that I slept on it. I may just take the money and donate it to IAP, something to be said for how smoothly dictaitorships run :D

We have already been talking about where we're spending ours. I get 50%. I'm looking at some some Cambridge kits. I guess if most of us spend it, it helps the economy, and that's what it's suppose to do.:D

Zero =8^(. My little car puked a tranny seal a couple of weeks ago, and it cost more to fix than I paid for the car, so all available funds go to another car, waaaahhhhhh.

I see the question as an "If- Then" statement.

"IF" you get the money

"THEN" what percentage will you spend on Pen stuff.

Seems simple enough to me, but then again, I've been called a simpleton once or twice before.


Have a nice day :D

I have no plans for the money, assuming we get some back. I would guess that a good chuck of it will go towards paying my real estate taxes and car insurance.

If a check shows up my son needs new tires on his truck, my other son needs tuition funds, then my son with the truck needs some new jeans, the college son needs his heater worked on in his car......and on and on.....:(
No toys for me, only my boys!:)

Didn't mean to go political. Just don't get too many places to vent about it. Any money (if any comes to us) will go to make up for the $1,200 I owe this year. Changed jobs and screwed myself all up. :(:(

I try not to spend what I don't have yet (though my current credit balances would make me a liar). I did have hopes when the House came together so quickly but then the Senate got involved and turned me in to the poverbial Missourian.

What I'll do with the money WILL depend on how much I get and WHEN IT ARRIVES!

A big fat "0". LOML has already stated that 100% goes into savings. See is beginning to get paranoid about me retiring fairly soon, and is starting to quickly squirrel away every windfall and any "extra" monies we get for the blessed (dreadful to her) day. Luckly, our budget does allow me some money for my toys, and all monies coming in from our craft business gets plowed right back into the business, after, of course, the bills are paid. ;);)[^]
