@RedTop I do have a charity I support on a regular basis.

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.

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

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.

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.

Well said.....

[Love my grandkids]

@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?

[JaneMarple]

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

[Love my grandkids]

@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.
