Virginia - far left. Poor foot gear to explore in, but I gotta be me.

Thanks Lynne! We loves ya!

If it's a suction machine then they might have oxygen and such attached to the cart as well, or it might be an oxygen powered suction device. Lyric is right - when you have lungs full of nasty stuff or if you have a trach tube you need to be suctioned regularly. It would make sense for people whose lungs aren't working well, such as in TB, to have oxygen tanks at the ready, or again, it might have been oxygen powered - I just don't know if they had those back then.

This machine looks similar to a crash cart - they also have lots of drawers to put little goodies in. If this is a suction machine you need a variety of different sizes of suction catheters on hand and a lot of back-up ones, because you sure can't use the same one more than once at a pop. =8-o

I'm on it!

The little cage device on the floor (bottom left) may be the same type device we used to use to cap the water sprinklers for the sprinkled buildings on campus where I work. The old sprinkler systems had little metal blades with three or four teeth, and if there was a fire they spun around to shoot the water out. However, if you didn't put a little cage type device over them, people were always grabbing them and cutting themselves, so they designed that swell little cage so they protected the blades but allowed the water to come out if there was a fire. We have several dozen unused ones in one of the abandoned buildings on campus, and all the sprinklers in the 8 unused buildings on campus have these on each spout.

Sorry - Anafranil is a medication for people who need every single little thing to be clean. ;-)

That's kind of a funny shaped ciggy there, yaggy, unless my old eyes deceive me. =8-o

I am guessing it something along the lines of a Long Island Iced Tea that tastes all sweet and sicky, like a laced soda pop, but actually just consists of 3 or 4 shots of liquor. It was pink, had a swell umbrella, and a little blue plastic sword was shoved through a cherry and a slice of orange. Does that help at all? ;-)

Ed - no static at all!

Motts - a new challenge! From here on out you need to take along and photograph your own flag with distinctive opacity logo - kinda like the Alfred Hitchcock signature cameo in each of his films . . . .

My guess is the former. And why do I think that Dr. You-Know-Who was somehow involved in all of this? =8-o

Everyone together:

"It's Lynne's soapbox!"

Well, funny thing - I think *HE'S* in the pix too, but it was sorta difficult to figure out just what was happening in 'em. Too many body parts and mechanical devices in the way and all. What's worse, I'm actually afraid I may have been the one who took them myownself, but the evening was a tad fuzzy about that particular section of time.

I just don't know where that blackmail note came from...

Hmmmm . . . . mebbe I did end up drinking a third Wiki Waki Woo. :-(

Lyric, if I was you I'd be gettin' a tad nervous hereabouts. =8-o
