Ever notice that the last day of a cold is somehow worse? I'm at that wretched stage of trying to get the rest of the crap out of my system. Yuck!

It appears somewhat official - the military pay system is showing us as receiving a half paycheck next week. Looks like DFAS/MyPal has reversed this. Thankfully, as ironic as that sounds, Navy Federal Credit Union is going to spot every military family their entire paycheck April 15th.

The rest of their offerings seem a bit cynical - overdraft protection, personal loans at certificate +2%, expediting credit line increases, etc. So basically, they are offering their regular credit products quicker. Phbbllllttt! Oh and if you have loans with NFCU, as we do, you need to call your branch to discuss. Gee, thanks - just freezing those loans would have been the very best thing they could do for military families instead of forcing each and every military family to call and grovel. *eye roll* I expect massive delays trying to get through to the branches.

The Commissaries will be closing, but the Exchanges will remain open. So no groceries, but you can still get porn, alcohol and cigarettes. Gee, thanks. I expect the spousal abuse rates in the military, already higher than the civilian world, to skyrocket.

I am completely disgusted with the Republican Congressmen who are trying to use the budget process to overthrow federal & state laws, and the decision the Supreme Court so they can deny the right of a woman to chose her own reproductive legacy. Its not going to work, its entirely political grandstanding. Stop playing politics with our paychecks, assholes!

Word. I'm so disgusted by all of this. I saw it coming and hoped for the best but it looks like they will use our paychecks to wage their culture war. Personally, I hope the Democrats do NOT back down. I'm enraged that military members and families are put on the line, though. What a clusterfuck.
