Crikey!
I bet you folks don't need much Viagra down there...

crazy isn't it!
My partner and I decided to use the money on the services of a private midwife, so that we could give our daughter the kind of introduction to the world that resembles something 'natural' at home.
It was expensive and consumed most of the so called 'bonus', but was thoroughly worth it. We managed to avoid the factory hospitals and the c-section obstetricians.
Apparently, a lot of people waste the bonus on widescreen plasma televisions and things like that, or so I've heard... |

Oh, dear! Things are not going well:
IRS says about 15,000 checks were misdeposited
WASHINGTON (WJRT) -- (05/15/0 -- Wondering where your stimulus check is? You might have good reason.
The Internal Revenue Service admits some 15,000 rebate checks have been direct deposited into the wrong bank accounts.
A computer programming glitch is to blame, according to the Treasury Department. …
Those darn computers
IRS says up to 350,000 didn't get child credit
WASHINGTON -
The Internal Revenue Service says up to 350,000 households didn't get their $300 per child refund that should have been part of their economic stimulus rebate checks.
The tax agency says human error and computer glitches were responsible for the problem affecting a tiny percentage of the 130 million taxpayers expected to benefit from the paybacks. …

The Turbo Tax people sent out an email explaining in short that TT users will be getting paper checks sometime between late May and July.
Whatevah.
