I just payed the annual fees on this site and realize that I haven’t posted anything in six months. Not a great record to have.
Yesterday I signed up for the Thing-a-day.com challenge. I don’t know for sure what I’ll make every day, but I’m pretty sure that today I will make bread. We need it after all. You can go to thing-a-day.com to check out what people are making this month.
My next big note is that I’m not fond of the rebate checks that the Federal Government plans on releasing as soon as it gets its act together. I believe that those who felt that the money would be better spent going into food stamps and extending unemployment benefits, and legislation should go into putting a curb on poor lending practices. The New York Times even has a very good article on why the rebates won’t work.
So here is my proposal. It is our duty to spend these rebate checks rather than saving them, but if we all spend them on the same things, we can actually act like the Government knows what it’s doing. If you get a check and can spare the money, spend it on something environmentally sound that you might otherwise not have spent money on. I’m going to be coming up with several plans for how someone might spend this money, and hopefully we can turn this bonus into a real bonus for everyone.
