Interesting stories on CNN:

1. A woman kills her 4 and 8 year old daughters, charged with murder, says it was the Prozac, found not guilty by reason of insanity, sentenced to 4 years in a mental institution. Her husband divorces her, marries another woman, has 2 kids with the other woman. He and the 2nd wife divorce. He remarries the first wife (the one that killed his two daughters). He then gets shared custody of his 2 children with the second wife. Sooooo... those children are now living with a stepmother who killed her own children. Wow. Tough one.

2. A guy takes his stepson hunting in a swamp/wilderness area on a Sunday. They are ready to go, half a mile back to the car. They get lost. The stepson is tired and not feeling well, so the stepfather carries him as far as he can through the swamp... then he can't carry him anymore. He lights a fire and goes to get help. His GPS battery dies. Flashlight batteries die. Takes him 6 hours to get out of the swamp. He finally gets to help on Monday morning. They get back to the son on Monday afternoon. He is face down in 12-18 inches of water. Dead. Stepfather is charged with felony murder and 5 other felonies.

CS: wondering if I ate anything at all last night. I am absolutely famished! I feel like I haven't eaten in days! :-\

OAN: got on the scale this morning. Not being able to control your weight is depressing. Aging is depressing. Slowing metabolism due to aging is depressing. Hot flashes and night sweats are depressing.
You're having hot flashes Sis? As skinny as you are, what weight control problem do you have? Girl you got it goin on!!! OAN it's ok if you say none of yo bidness. ;D

I don't even know what to say to the first story.  :o

I find the second story slightly silly. Why didn't the man carry the son on his back or something? Why on earth would you leave your son in a swamp with goodness knows what lurking around?  ?/?

I'm not really skinny. I'm in a healthy weight range. But I'm gaining weight rapidly, and it's mostly beyond my control because my metabolism is slowing down significantly. To put it in perspective, I'm 20 lbs heavier than I was when I joined LGM. I'm not crying "woe is me, I'm so sloppy" or anything like that... I know I'm not obese. But I'm just not accustomed to gaining weight so quickly, and addressing that is going to require a lifestyle change that I don't really want to make.

The hot flashes (and stuff) are related to the normal course of womanhood, which starts a little earlier in some than in others. :-[

Thanks for the compliment, though. :)

Or... maybe Tom... Of course, I guess ice cream could have taught you something about classical music. :D


LOL!!! I was going to say something but I decided not to.

ROFL! I've been craving ice cream for a while due to this heat I see it starting to come out how much I want it LOL


Maybe..JUST MAYBE!!! you should have gone to bed.  :o

OH GAWD...THE LAUGHTER... MAKE IT STOP!  :D :D :D LOL! Ben and Jerry? Whooosah! ok.. I'm still going to laugh for about another 30 secs.

Oh wow, I didn't realize how badly I was functioning

It probably would be slightly silly if he weren't facing life in prison for felony murder. :-\

He tried to carry the son for as long as he could, but after several hours (plus, they were in freezing temperatures), he couldn't carry him any more. They were freezing cold, wet, needed help, and one couldn't walk; they had no light, no contact with the outside world, and no GPS. The only way to survive, in his mind, was to go and get help.

Makes sense to me.

He was 14 btw. I forgot to mention that in the original post.

Oh ok. That's exactly what I was wanting to know. Knowing this, I can definitely understand why he wasn't able to carry him any further. This is such ashame :(.

I just can't believe he's charged with murder! And child abuse, too... and some other really ugly charges. It's just nutty to me. And his wife (probably ex-wife by now) isn't even defending him. :-\

Sad story.

CS:  A little stoked about my trip to New Orleans next month even with my long ATL layovers.  :)  I hear the ATL is interesting so maybe people watching will pass the time if find nothing else to do.  Lol.

I may be able to meet you at the airport, depending on the time/date of your layover. Let me know if you want me to.
