Maybe it was the only full can of paint they had left. ;-)

DAY-um, I lubs this shot!

LOVE them colors! "Lord Motts"?

Ooog! Seasick! I love it! :-)

Wowza! Another Top Ten pic!

Perfect perspective, grand colors, good lines and angles - this is a great pic.

Oh, I like this one!

Very nice!

You're right, Aliester, and I apologize. I notice I do tend to get unjustifiably defensive when someone calls a mental health facility a "nuthouse" and wonders if someone who builds a lovely home for people with problems should therefore also be classified as having problems. That was a totally uncalled for observation on my part and I'll not say anything else. The floor is yours. :-)

Because people in psych hospitals also deserve sterilized medical instruments like everyone else. Institutions have always been small communities with their own medical facilities on-grounds and the materials you use "inside" should be as good as what is used "outside."

I work in a facility for people with intellectual disabilities and we have a medical hospital unit and an outpatient surgical unit, so we need to have access to sterilized medical equipment (not that autoclaves are used quite as much these days with all the disposable equipment that people use any more). Besides, in psych hospitals and places like where I work, you might (or might not) be surprised at how many falls and cuts and such occur. Between seizures and their sometimes associated injuries, motor coordination issues, self-injurious behavior, and aggression by other clients (the least of the injuries) we have several people in the clinic every day of the year. Therefore you need to have access to surgical instruments so you can stitch someone up quickly if they get a laceration, etc.

Or were you giving us a sly wink and hint about lobotomies from the 50s and 60s? :-)

So what's on his shirt?

[gag!]

Duh!

How embarassing! :-)

For entertainment, like everywhere else. Jes' 'cos you're going through a rough time doesn't mean that entertainment is lost on you. :-)

It's a person with long dark hair in a tank top, long shorts, socks, and sneakers or leather shoes/boots. Looks like there is something in the middle of his shirt.

Sweet! It really looks like a Disney ride from here!
