I think one of the reasons I like autumn best of seasons is the sky. In autumn, you can watch the cold fornts scour the sky, and the clouds form a knife edged line. I wish it would rain already, as the humidity is killer. I received a package of yarn from Erin, and this weekend I'm going to buy some needles. We'll see if knitting works as vocational therapy. The yarn is very soft! Thank you.

The children had healed and partially healed fractures and bite marks and appeared malnourished, according to court records. One of the 2yo twins had eight to 10 healed fractures to her ribs and two broken femurs. She had so many bite marks on her body — both from children and adults —that investigators were unable to count them. The kids involved were 2yo twins and a 3yo. These are some people who need to go straight to hell, do not pass go. The mug shots are up on all the local news. Neither one of them looks malnourished, and neither one of them looks the least bit sorry. Fuckers.

I saw that on the news. Yes, there is a special place in hell for those "parents". And she's 7 months pregnant. On the news just now they talked to one of their neighbors and she said they often played their music loud.

Who bites a baby?

What kind of sick, twisted mind thinks that's okay?

Dude. Babies ain't for dinner.

In other news, glad you like the yarn! Good luck, and feel free to ask questions as needed. :)

There are no words for how livid this makes me. The biting is especially angering.
I hope the knitting goes well for you. I just picked up some lovely yarn that I hope will brighten my winter.

Not that I'm condoning any such behaviour

but have any of you ever had charge of babies & small children? Full-time?

Cos, having had two myself (& we all survived) I can empathise, somewhat, with parents who are at least tempted to bad behaviour.

Not that actually behaving like that is excusable, even with the whinyiest, most annoyingly-pitched yelling baby.

Enjoy the knitting. I find it great therapy.
