Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I travelled once with no bag. And they closed LAX down and I ended up staying in SF overnight. Was teh nast.

Trust my rage

Like ita, I have travelled once with no bag. And I ended up stuck in a Motel 6 in Dallas for two days. I almost feel like flying with no bags is just asking for a problem.

Sometimes it seems like FLYING is asking for a problem.

In regard to parenting, did anyone else see this?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh. Dietary things are definitely not a reason to prevent someone from being a foster parent. I know at least two vegan foster parents -- one was told that, if she wouldn't serve meat in her house, then she would either get kids who were already vegan (probably pretty rare) or babies who aren't old enough to eat meat yet anyway.

I looked up some more info on that woman whose foster parent application was denied. It looks like she was denied by a private agency that places children, not by the state itself, and the state is investigating it now.

I would like to make a Public Service Announcement: DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Using the no-pork rule as a reason is very strange. I would be more concerned by the fact that she's a 26-year-old mother of five. How could she have time and energy for foster-kids?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

26 year old mother of 5, living with a man she is not legally married to. I don't recall if the article said if he was the father or not. But "they are married in the eyes of her religion".

On one hand - whatever. But if you are going to have an issue with her application, pork shouldn't be it. Or then deny all Orthodox Jewish applicants.
