I confess the fact that both Dexter and Breaking Bad are over makes me really sad

I confess I am disappointed in my nation's leadership over this government shutdown. Most of our staff got sent home today- no work, no pay, indefinitely. It's really sad. I hope it doesn't last long. Rumor mill says a week, maybe two. I don't agree with the way ObamaCare was passed, but I also don't agree with sending people home with no pay to prove their point while the folks who made the decision continue to get paid. It would be different if THEY were going without pay (not just monetary, but also the privileges and benefits) too!!

I confess that the rest of the world is looking on in bemusement, and feeling slightly smug that our political systems, as imperfect as they are, are not in quite such an absurd mess and/or capable of such arrant nonsense! My sympathies to all directly affected and struggling as a result, though.

I feel for those staffers, but the govt has been sending people home for the last 6 years because of careless decisions.... Personally my families 20 year old contracting firm was shut down do to the Dodd/Frank, which started the hideous mess of 2008. I guess besides those serving not getting paid, I think they should shut it down until they learn how to grow up, this country needs a balanced budget, jobs, and leadership.... not petty childish games and war.

Just a note for those that are not in the USA.... while our Fed Govt. is shutdown, it's only a partial shutdown and unless, you were sent home like JJ's co-workers, or depend on a program that's shutdown, most will hardly notice a difference in their daily lives. We still have state and local govt. so it's not like we have anarchy over here... business as usual for most.... which is why nothing really changes politically.

I tried a new cupcake recipe last night and am testing them out on my co-workers. I usually only make brownies and cookies so this I am worried they aren't as good as I expect. Oh they are a maple pecan cupcake that is supposed to have bacon on top but I left that off.

I confess I wanna get some cute slutty (don't judge) halloween outfit.. My only worry is that I might still be to big for one... Im' obviously gonna try them on before I buy them.. What do you guys think?

I think that is a great idea. And I'm sure you would look fantastic in one.

Yes, I felt that earlier at work today. Luckily I haven't been sent home but we are short handed at work. It's not difficult until we run into problems that can only be fixed by certain people and those certain people have been sent home/furloughed thus making things interesting.

I confess I was scrolling through PoF this afternoon and came across a profile that I think has an actual mug shot as the main pic. Does this guy think that's appealing? :laugh:

some delusional woman is thinking "Oh I like bad boys, I can fix him to how I like him"

I'm with ya. I would love to wear a sexy costume. Don't know if I'm going to celebrate Halloween this year because I work but if I do it would be fun to branch out.

Same here. I work so I'm meh about Halloween this year.
