    I would comment but I was warned yesterday for starting a similar thread that spiraled a different direction.

    Oh well, I am out of work until there is a deal. MFP is the least of my worries.

    FYI- I am an aviation safety inspector with the FAA- there is no oversite on the airline industry right now. The news just seems more concerned about national parks.

    That is all...Continue

    It's messing with my whole area ( living in the area surrounding Washington D.C.). The neighbor across the street have been barbecuing since Sunday nonstop as in every meal and keeps inviting me over. The guy two doors down washed all 4 of his cars yesterday causing too much water on the road.
    My community gym all the sudden is constantly packed through out the day, that sweet time spot between 8-9 is not empty anymore.
    Also, trash collecting going to stop next week.

    If this goes on for more than a week I foresee a business vs government employees showdown.

    Does that mean Barry and Michelle can't take another vacation to come see me?

    for me, it means people want to talk about this as a topic of conversation and i'd really rather not discuss it. so i find that annoying. it's awful.

    I can finally take a break from paying taxes for those on welfare that abuses it.:devil:

    Actually you still have to pay taxes. And welfare checks are already covered until November.

    The people not getting paid are the actual government workers.

    A campsite I reserved for this weekend is now closed. Hope I get a refund. Matter of fact...can we get a refund for all the days the govt. is shut down? I paid...but they're not working...so...refund? :smile: #wishfulthinking

    I just asked someone that exact same question - we should get a tax credit for these days that we are paying for gov't service and not receiving it!!!

    It has zero effect on me. I'm self employed so regardless of whether or not the Government is running I still have to work and pay my taxes.
