How is the gov. shutdown affecting you specifically?
For me, although I am not currently being furloughed, I am still paying the price. I am having to basically work for free until after the budget is signed and then they are supposed to back pay us... Sure hope so, but on top of that, I lost someone very near and dear to me this week and in order for me to go to their funeral tomorrow, I will be forced to take "leave without pay" even though I have plenty of leave on the books to cover and I will NOT be reimbursed for that. Obviously with not getting paid but having to work none-the-less, my family is paying the price as well both financially and emotionally.
How are you directly affected by the shutdown?

It doesn't affect me at all. Except that is p*sses me off that we have a bunch of idiots in Congress with the schoolyard attitude that makes them want to disagree with each other over every thing.0

It makes me laugh that a government could be so dysfunctional to as actually cease functioning as a government.0

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?

Yes I agree and in my PERSONAL opinion, they should all be impeached starting at the top. But let's not get into that.0 -
I can think of at least 5 very dear friends who are now out of work.
This sucks.0 -

If this takes more than two weeks to hammer out my husband will be unemployed.0

It hasn't affected me, but some of the teachers at my kids' daycare who also have small kids are not getting their WIC checks. They are a pretty low income but very hard working group of people. I certainly couldn't work at a daycare.0

I'm having to tell a lot of mothers with hungry babies to go to the food banks for baby formula because we can't help them with WIC. This blows hairy monkey balls.0

This is so sad and it is BS that WIC is under fire. Especially when they will take care of starving children OUTSIDE the US.0 -
I am so sorry for your loss, and for your financial difficulties right now! I'm very blessed. So far the shut down has not affected us in any way.0

This is something I can sympathize with being a recent first time homebuyer. I'm sorry. =/0
