Wow. Mine was $1,200. I guess, sometimes it does help to be disabled. 
My daughter came by yesterday and bought about $100 worth of groceries for myself and her daughter. That will help this month.

Stimulus is income based. Some people got nothing. $108 means that you had more income. It's like complaining about taxes. I would rather pay more for earning more, than get a refund because I didn't earn enough. But taxes are more complicated than that.

We really didn't have any real "income" last year, but had to draw down our IRAs for some unexpected expenses. When you draw down from your IRA, it counts as "income", and is taxed at a very high rate. We are retired. So we got a double whammy, we took a big hit on our IRAs, and we had to pay higher taxes.

Just retrieved the Mrs’ ‘06 5.4L from the shop. The AC compressor decided to quit in a catastrophic fashion and filled the system with shredded metal. Whole new system now and boy is the cab COLD!

Tru Dat! I will never own a non AC vehicle here in the valley. Just too darn hot in the summer time. Of course, right now, the Sienna is not working. I think it has a bad timing belt or belts as I get a "camshaft position "A" over retarded bank 1 and one for bank 2. Along with replace A/F sensor, and random/multiple misfire detected. Even a coolant low voltage code. When it rains it pours. I can't afford to fix all that. And I still have another 18 payments to go before it is mine.

Happy Saturday here.
Wish us luck (maybe not the right word?). We are going to a cookout at a neighbor's house tomorrow afternoon. Everyone will be outside, and I think we will all bring our own food. If it gets cold, I think they will start a fire in the fire pit. It will at least be a change of pace. Hopefully, no one will die.

I'm sure everyone will be fine.
