I was not mentioning anyone Milo. Just a friendly reminder to everyone that politics belong in a different area.
It is very easy for a thread of this nature to wander off course.

Yep, I'm the culprit. Sorry....not sorry, you know? I just had to let it out.
So let me try a tamer version: the holdup on it is because red and blue can't agree on the amount. Meanwhile, people whose lives have been turned upside-down by this pandemic are left twiddling their thumbs.
Is that better?

I won't be waiting by the mailbox (it's usually empty these days anyway, thanks USPS).
Me either! Mine will automatically be deposited in my checking account.
Not mine.
I'd take a picture right now of a box I have going, but I'm too lazy to get up and neatly arrange things first. Anyway, the box is FILLED with mail requesting donations. I'm serious. I actually had to get a bigger box. I don't know what I'm waiting for, but I'm waiting to tackle it. I guess I keep thinking it's going to magically disappear.

I know the feeling. Hopefully when you move things out of sight, you want them to magically vanish.Me either! Mine will automatically be deposited in my checking account.
Not mine.
Yeah, but mine's in full sight; I'm looking at it right now. I walk past it every time I leave or come back to my bedroom. I don't WANT to hide it...I just wish it would magically take care of itself!
Mine, if and when it comes, will be by snail mail/paper check. The first one took a while and the IRS site for tracking it was useless.
I've been getting less mail overall, although the bills still manage to show up. Some of the charity pandering finds its way here as well but that's what the shredder is for. It's conveniently located right by the door when I come into my house.

My charity requests are largely from organizations I support--but also a fair amount from similar places that found out I support their cause. I have to actually wade through all of it to separate those I will/won't/might donate to. If I had a bottomless pit filled with money, I'd give them all some of it! But, alas, I don't. *shrug*
well looks like we will be getting checks after all. hopefully by the end of this week.....most likely by early next week.
yay!!!!!
yay!!!!!
Yes, the $600 variety. Remains to be seen if an additional/supplemental check will follow.
This just in:
The House voted Monday to increase COVID-19 relief checks to $2,000, meeting President Trump’s demand for bigger payments and sending the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate, where the outcome is uncertain. Source: LA Times
Fingers crossed! So many people really need the additional money.

Anything bigger than $600 is the beginning. Doesn't...
doesn't what? you are leaving me hanging....lol
I have my alerts customized based on what type of alert they are. A while ago, I heard the cash register sound, which means anything related to money (banking, credit card charges, deposits). Lookey here! (This is on my laptop, using KDE Connect.)
How's that for a Happy New Year's present?!

I just checked and nothing at my bank. olbriar should be next after ocnbrze if they are issued in alpha.
That just made me laugh out loud.olbriar should be next after ocnbrze if they are issued in alpha.
A CPA does my personal and business returns. The big stimulus check was posted to my account today.
Didn't get 600. Put it my tax form.
I just filed for both. Missed them last year. I wouldn't mind that $1400 that should have come with the $600. Republicans are cheap.
for those that have chase or wells fargo:
wednesday might be the day you get your stimulus checks via direct deposit.
