Ian said he gave excellent advice. (and I think Ian's going to post a link here, since he knows where it is.)
My DH says he will look for a job outside of aviation if he gets furloughed again...or at least thats what he said 3 years ago when he got furloughed. LOL

I also added to that post about what my DH did when he got furloughed. My reply isn't as good as the one that got posted here though.

Oh, and I've also been thinking more and more about becoming a professional Photographer. I'm more into the fine are type stuff (flowers, scenic, nature, buildings......) which I'm not sure will bring in much money, but any money is better than nothing right? I'm still trying to get better at portrait type photography, so maybe down the road, I'll be able to do that professionaly. I really think I need to start getting on the ball and try selling my stuff to see if anyone would actually want to buy it and see if being a professional photog is a reality rather than a dream.
