If you have a lot of time to look at crafts and figure out which one you want to do and how to do it and oh look they did it better that way, than yeah, go for it. If not, don't bother.

I desperately need some new crochet patterns, as the Blanket From Hell is nearly done and i can start looking forward to other projects now, so it might be a good idea for me.

You don't need to work anymore? Poor Wolf has to carry both of you?

I havent had a job since 2008, when my doc signed me off saying i was too crazy to hold down a job. Our situation isnt ideal, but its ok.

EDIT: Even if i did have a job, you know people do hobbies in their spare time, right?

I wish I could get that sort of diagnosis. I hear disability doesn't pay too horribly...

OK I lie. People have some pretty pathetic reasons for going on disability but I still would rather be healthy and have to work than be paid off for doing nothing. plain Not sure how I could live with myself. I guess you get used to it.

No I actually didn't think you did, considering you didn't move from the UK till relatively recently. More self-reflection than anything else.

You have no idea how much I would love to throw away this disability I have and work again.

Someone telling me I was crazy wouldn't stop me at all. Crazy people work they just found someone to give them an excuse not to.

Two and a half years and I'm not used to it yet. I always worked before so this is torture for me. I like being busy and productive.

Disability pays crap but plenty do it just because a little money to be lazy works for them.

I dont plan on getting into this fully with you, but i will say this: Some people have a stroke and go back to work. Others are incapacitated by it and are unable to work. Some people have mental illness and are able to work (heck, i used to be one of them, until my illness worsened and i was forced to give up work), others are incapacitated by it and are unable to work.

Dont judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

I get a disability check from the government but I am allowed to work also.

Its only a grand a month but its a nice tax free chunk of change, that isnt counted as income.

However its for injuries sustained while on active duty.
