I know I've been quiet for a loooong time and this is a random post from a member who has been in the bushes so to speak for quiet some time.  As I am dealing with issues of my own; this article stirred up some emotions.

Knowing this forum I feel confident that this can be read subjectively and will not turn into a "politically influenced" thread.  Rather a reminder that currently there are MANY including members here who are being impacted in ways "Most" people would not think to consider due to our current government shut down.
