barclayrl · 04/28/2008, 03:35 PM

basement keeps flooding, tanks will have to wait for more $ to come in..

Got to buy some basement waterproofing stuff...

RyanMKintz · 04/28/2008, 03:44 PM

I need a new skimer im thinking MSX160, I check the account daily

sherm71tank · 04/28/2008, 03:46 PM

guns and ammo!

sjj80 · 04/28/2008, 04:00 PM

on the irs website www.irs.gov they have a payment schedule based on the last two digits of your SS# listed. people with direct deposit will start receiving payments starting today!!!

sk8rreefgeek · 04/28/2008, 04:03 PM

The only reason I chose Bills/Debt is because once that crap is paid off (Car, LCD Flatscreen) I will have $$$ for my tank

leeweber85 · 04/28/2008, 05:19 PM

I was thinking about getting a new guitar, but I just checked the IRS website and it looks like I will only be getting the minimum $300...

There's not a whole lot you can do with $300.

downhillbiker · 04/28/2008, 05:22 PM

Fill up your gas tank? By the time you get the money it may cost that much!

What guitar were you wanting to get?

niles1967 · 04/28/2008, 07:29 PM

Will spend half of it on fish and beer: the rest I will just waste.

leeweber85 · 04/28/2008, 07:35 PM

I've been playing on a POS rogue st-4 strat that I bought brand new for $50 about 6-7 years ago. I think I want a telecaster, but not sure how much I want to spend yet. Maybe just get a cheap squire or the standard fender (midnight wine with a maple neck).

I used to have a squire strat when I was younger, it sounded pretty good, but I've always been more of a gibson les paul fan. I just can't afford one right now. I want another electric someday cause although I love my takamine electric/acoustic I miss playing electric.

racksteris · 04/28/2008, 08:00 PM

Save half and spend the rest on livestock and my tank

bill-fit · 04/28/2008, 08:21 PM

Pinpoint ph controller and the rest on corals

shackscs · 04/28/2008, 08:23 PM

Canon 40D with 100mm macro lens. So I can take some kick azz pics of my softies.

Electrobes · 04/28/2008, 08:25 PM

Thinking about getting a controller, but I forgot about the rebate package... was going to get one for my birthday

I voted for both the tank and savings as my wife will prob just stick it in the bank... maybe I'll get my "share" to spend

Kalied20 · 04/28/2008, 08:29 PM

I wanted to be part of your poll, but my rebate will never see my hands.

The IRS is keeping it and applying to what I owe them. You forgot that option.

thecichlidpleco · 04/28/2008, 08:46 PM

Or the option of I only let the govt know about less than $3000 and will not recieve a refund.
