Re: [lace] American Arachnids, How will you spend October 1?

Ha ha!  I wasn't anticipating it being that bad, but perhaps I should rethink
any plans to be out and about on that day!  I guess it could shut down the
Internet if people sign up online.  It could cause the servers to crash!

Americans try to sign up for Obamacare while the US government shuts  down and

building, have a back up plan :-

The House voted along party lines to delay the Affordable Health Care Act
by a year (ie, Republicans have the majority, so it passed).  Senate
majority leader has already stated that he will strip the funding bill of
ALL amendments and let it go through that way.

Freakin' politics.  They are playing with people's LIVES - I personally
know too many people who would be extremely negatively affected should the
government be shut down on Oct 1.  Heck, as my husband is a contractor on a
US Military Base, WE could have been extremely negatively effective, but
his job is "mission critical," so they can't stop paying him.

Ob Lace:  On October 1, I will most likely be taking my mother in law to
different furniture shops, and may be able to do some needle lace while
she's looking around.  Depends on how much she wants to be pushed around in
her wheelchair, or if the salespeople bring things to her to see.

Bronwen,
in sunny Colorado Springs, where there are at least 4 military bases...

But the Senate has not agreed to that. As far as I can tell,  the shut down 
of the government is still scheduled for National Lace Day. I am  no 
conspiracy theorist, but... is there an anti-lace plot? Maybe conspiracy of  
quilters and rug hookers? Possibly FIMO and Salsa dancers as fellow travelers?  
Has anyone checked out the political activities of the cake decorators?
