I CELEBRATED GETTING MY STIMULUS!

OK, this may sound silly, feel free to laugh.

I get frequent emails from Jockey. I have been buying their underwear since they first came out, eons ago.

Wasn't going to splurge on anything, mostly went for a CC bill, but they're having a sale with a coupon code in the email so I bought another 3 pack of the French cut elance undies in really pretty shades of aqua.

I do this once or twice a year so I can toss a couple of the really old ones! Anyway, it was fun and i love pretty undies.

@Love my grandkids

Wooohoooo! Rock and ROLL!!! You can now call yourself fancy pants.

Not laughing at you. I'm glad you got something you'll enjoy. And I am sure Jockey appreciates it.

Trickle UP economics at its finest.

So did I, but with checks to our local food bank, and to continue the care of the 3 rural cemeteries where our family is buried.

Well still being on unemployment, our stimulus checks will go to our mortgage, so we are thankful for the money.

@freakygirl, Donating the money to help others sure beats buying undies in my opinion.

Charity is such a great feeling and I know so many wonderful people who have given so freely of themselves and they all could have used the money as they do not have a lot. All of these heroes are very humble people.

Woohoo! I celebrated by buying a new washer since mine gave out last week. I let my husband pick it out and he's doing laundry now, He got all the bells and whistles he liked so he was excited to try it out. It won't last. I venture to say I'll be folding the laundry and back to washing it tomorrow.

Thank you, helping the local food bank is so rewarding. Caring and sharing is something that always brings a great deal of satisfaction.

Too many people with the "it's all about me attitude" and having material things that in the long run probably bring them little joy. These stimulus checks are all about getting free money, not realizing that someone has to pay for it.

NO One should be made to feel guilty about what they choose to spend their stimulus money on, whether it's new underwear, pay off bills, needed replacement of appliances, home improvements or give it to your favorite charities.

Like everything else in life, it's a personal choice.

Re: I CELEBRATED GETTING MY STIMULUS!

Their check, their choice of where to spend it. That is not rocket science.

I like Jockey undies also, but haven't tried this "elance". Do they stay put or ride up (if you know what I mean). :-)

Some would call this virtue signaling. I woudn't. But some would. The trick is to not take what other people say they do personally, but that can be hard to do.

It's not a competition.

Hey I got panties! Oh well I paid bills. Oh well I paid my kid's bills. Oh well repaired my house. Oh well I gave it to my church. Oh well I gave it to a charitiy. Oh well I started my OWN charity. Oh well I gave it to a needy family. Oh well I gave it to a needy family WITH a dog WITH a wooden leg AND a lisp...

Good for all of us. We all win.

@KingstonsMom Thank you for the kind words. I don't feel the need to advertise my charitable giving.

I rarely can indulge myself and my choice to do it is new underwear. Why do others have to rebuke someone for something so simple?

It's the small things that can make us happy, shame on the ones making digs @Love my grandkids Enjoy your new panties.

@Sunshine Kate They fit perfectly! I prefer the "elance" as the waistband is covered with the same material. I hate elastic waistbands, too uncomfortable.

These never ride up or move around.
