I tie flies. Is that a craft, or do I need to cut off the hook points and turn them into earrings first.

Craft projects with her gang of old girlfriends.
She used to get upset with me because I did not want wreaths made out of computer punch cards, angels made out of old Readers Digests, plastic crosses made out of Styrofoam egg cartons etc...
Crafts make me twitch!

I tried to have that problem, but just didn't have the room, so I finally learned to use the trash can. Yep, I'd find a use for that box or bubble wrap within a day or so, but I'd have to just go out and get some. PITA? Yes!, but it keeps my apartment clutter free and I do love to shop, so I get to do one of my favorite things (shop) and still keep my apartment from becoming a hoarder's nightmare. LOL
I swear I am going to have a stroke before I can get into the insurance website so that I can have insurance when I have my stroke!
Amazon should have been the insurance seller. Or Wal-Mart. THEY both know how to sell online.
Don't worry about having a stroke. Affordable Care covers pre-existing conditions.

I'm upset, frustrated, and just tired of red tape bs. Hubby and I are trying to get through the adoption approval process through the public ministry, and just got another monkey wrench thrown at us. We applied in January of 2013, and still are working through this. One of the things we were not looking at was a legal risk placement, due to the uncertainty factor for the child/children and us as well. We had a meeting tonight, and effective Jan 1, 2014 all placements will be considered legal risk until the adoption is finalized (anywhere up to 16 months or so). Basically it boils down to the birth parents/family would be able to appeal and possibly overturn any placement up until the time the adoption is finalized. It's a small risk, but a risk none the less. 90% of adoptions will proceed exactly as they do now, but the 10% possibility scares the hell out of me. I just want a family, is that so much to ask? My heart is breaking just a little bit, and we have less than 2 weeks to decide. If we say no, this is the end of all the work we've done over the last year. If we say yes, it's a totally different ball game.
Legal risk adoption - also known as 'foster to adopt' or 'foster with a view to adopt'. This type of adoption occurs when a child is placed in a home as a foster child and is later adopted by his/her foster parents. This type of adoption is a 'legal risk adoption' because the courts have not yet made the child legally free to be adopted and there is still a chance that he/she may be returned to his/her biological family. Children are considered a legal risk but only a small percentage of children placed through the 'foster to adopt' program are returned to their biological families.
Toffi, my heart goes out to you and your husband. If it were me, I would say "go for it!" If it turns out that any child placed with you is returned to their parents, at least you know that you showed a child what real love in a family is. You will have given a child a lifetime of memories. Don't give up. There is a child out there for you both.
Yes! This.I agree!
I would rather have a broken heart because I chose to help a child than have one because I didn't.
