Shame that the gov't has put a serious damper on my hobbying.. Think we all could encourage our congressman to vote for opening gov't so  hobbying can pick back up.

OK...so I presume you have good reason to want the government shutdown to end and I recognize that there are some very good reasons for the Federal Government to fully re-open....however....
for the past 8 days I have had this feeling that I am not getting as screwed over as I was prior to the shutdown.

or bad wig working hard to jack things more than already are has felt nice .

since the government shut down there has been a significant spike on these web sites due to loss of wages and other government programs linked to income

...which I find hilarious to have such a board on TER as much of the fictional acts on here are either immoral or sacrilege.

As my S/O is a govt. contractor and has been furloughed. Cutting into my hobbying budget....
