'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Gnargh, feh, my breakfast cart guy put ketchup on this egg sandwich! Come on breakfast cart guy, I know ketchup on eggs is a traditional NYC thing, but it's also really really gross which is why I said NO KETCHUP. P'tui.
I doubt hitting the debt ceiling will affect people's ability to access checking or basic savings accounts. It may freeze up credit (like in 2008) but if you have money in the bank that's just money as opposed to stocks or bonds, it should be fine.

I guess I really am an adult. My first thought upon seeing the check wasn't "vacation in Hawaii!" but "new tires." (Not even an exclamation mark in my thoughts.) I am now officially dull.
Yeah, when I got the check from Dad's estate I was all, "Ok, that's the last of the debt gone." And, yes, I bought some new stuff, but that was as much due to the whole, "Hey, I have income that use to go toward paying down my debt," as inheritance stuff.
