Or some other suitably frivolous purpose. Instead of, say, saving it, or turning it into something tangible I can barter with later, like golf clubs or sacks of rice. ABC:
US consumer confidence has hit the lowest levels since the early 1980s, according to a closely-watched survey.
The University of Michigan's index of confidence fell to 59.5 in May, from 63.2 in April - the weakest showing since June 1980.
Nice to see the country united about something.
We have known divisions, which must be healed to move forward in great purposes - and I will strive in good faith to heal them. Yet those divisions do not define America.
Oh, wait. That's Bush's 2004 inaugural speech. Sorry.

My rebate
Is tentatively planned to be used for my goodbye grad school party on the 30th. Any CA bay area folk wanna wish me well?
I know, I know. Save. Bleh.
I'm two hours away.
I'd love to be there but the gas is prohibitive and I no longer have a place to stay up there (and I'm not driving back after a boozefestivus.)
Congrats and best of luck!

Butt-cheek implants?
Since you opened the door, it's only fair that we speculate.

When I got my rebate in 2001
... I got a tattoo and a piercing. I figured, why not? Might as well piss off the family-values crowd.
My rebate
Will be going towards bills. I was hoping to use it to get married this fall(I want a small wedding), but since my fiance blew out his knee playing airsoft two weeks ago, we are now going to have to use it to catch up on bills, since it looks like he will be out of work for another month.

I am still with Father
I am still with Father Guido Sarducci. Can openers. When we run out of food, they are going to be worth lots of Euros.

My rebate will just about offset the extra taxes I had to pay so I'm using mine to pay taxes.
Guess I'm buying a war, huh?
