I fear for my paycheck

[half-glocked]

No, I'm not in the wrong thread. I'm not supposed to be over in the political discussion ranting about POTUS or taking pot-shots at Uncle Sam.

I'm just dangerously close to 50 posts and I'm not sure I'm ready to be let loose on the Classified section. Let me rephrase that, I'm just a smidge too eager to get there.


My wish-listing and window-shopping have grown exponentially in relation to the amount of information I've found on INGO and the results aren't pretty for my bank account.

I usually wince when people say that ignorance is bliss, but ignorance would definitely have been cheaper.

Just make sure the next 5 posts are junk. That way they keep getting deleted and you never make it!

You will be fine.

I fear for my paycheck simply because I am a Federal Employee.

I'm in the same boat, BUT, I think the RINOs will cave and give the Dems whatever they want....

I thought about putting up some facetious plea to the mod's-that-be to take down my post count, but I figured purple or no, there'd be at least one that would oblige me so I kept it to myself.

My advice to you, from someone who has gone through the same thing, is to get a good digital camera.

Why, you ask?

To enable you to quickly take enticing pictures of your first few "gotta haves" when you decide they really weren't "exactly what I wanted".

Trust me, been there, done that.

Poor guy needs 7 now. I guess my idea worked!

 

[half-glocked]

Lol!

I was thinking the same thing.

It's okay, though. The posts that got taken away were ones where I had just tagged the topic to be able to follow it later, I think.

Either way, it made me smile when I logged in and I had lost some. I should have known better than to tempt the mods-that-be.

If I was a local business man, I would fear for my paycheck because the federal employees are looking at furloughs....

average salary is $75k. Average pay cut is $7,500. Take that times the number of people on base: 3,300. there will be $24 million less in the local economy in just 6 months.

Hey Half-Glocked....

If you want, we could start a "Report" storm to the mods and have them knock your count down so you'll not be tempted

Step away from the report icon!



I don't believe that I have any more reportable posts.

I guess I'll just have to see if my post count goes down more. That should be a pretty fair indicator.



I'll scooch on down and make room for everyone else. You might even get me to share my popcorn. It's not likely, but you might.

Extra butter?!?!

Actually this is a good way to get your 50 posts. I have never understood the guys that will make one thread nad never respond to people, missing a great opportunity to makes posts. At least you are smarter than they are.

Sure thing.

How do you feel about m&ms in your popcorn? Now hear me out, it sounds weird, but try it the next time you have fresh popcorn. The heat melts the chocolate inside of the candy shell. Super tasty.

Wait a second.

Did I just hijack my own thread?

 

[Expat]

As an example to get a post, they will make a thread saying what does everyone think about a Glock. Then there are 30 posts and never a response. You could ask about rumors of kabooms, difference in the generations, replacement barrels, mag interchangeability... but no, never another post.

Yep, after the first 50 posts it all get's VERY expensive.....

Been eating a Hershy Chocolate bar with my Popcorn for years...MMmmmmm good

The great thing about INGO is that everybody's already weighed in on that argument a good 6 times a piece, as long as you're willing to dig and find those forums.

And some of the flame wars have been exciting.

I'd much rather rack up posts goofing off or adding something substantive to a conversation.

"Rack up" even seems like the wrong term. For right now, not being at 50 posts is keeping my bonus and tax refund safe like they should be.

If we never talked about stuff that had already been talked about on here at some point, there would be very few posts....

Actually the furlough is 20% of our pay. But yea...
