I've sure missed you, Bill!

What a nice convenient number. ;-)

*In most states autopsies are only done when the person dies under "unexpected conditions" and/or when the family requests it. If a diagnosis of arteriosclerotic heart disease had been made, even if it hadn't been made before the person entered the hospital, in most cases this would then be considered an "expected" death. Arteriosclerotic heart disease is highly associated with cardiac arrest. Therefore it would be up to the coroner and/or the family to request an autopsy. Don't know if this was the case with your grandmother.
*As an FYI, EVERYONE dies from lack of oxygen. -> "Biological death: This is when permanent cellular damage occurs to the brain due to a lack of oxygen. By definition, this process is irreversible and final."
*Regarding the diagnosis of "dysthymic disorder", it is unusual to be in a psychiatric ward for dysthymia as opposed to depression or bipolar disorder, unless the person is there voluntarily.

How about an ironing board that irons without you there?

How 'bout this, then?

I have tried to pull up some pix of this place when it was up and running. All I could find was an old postcard of the train that used to run there from the main Hellingly Depot. Does anyone have any old pix or could steer me to old pix of this place?

OK, I remember - it's called a "wing chair."

Jo, how long has it been since I proposed to you? ;-)

You know, this may need to be a wallpaper . . .

Help! I tried to google this, but couldn't find it. Can someone give me more info on this fascinating machine? I DO like Jude's description, however . . .

Jo, that's pretty durned good!
Exotic drink = Wiki Waki Woo.
Cuzmekyame = "gadget."
Now everyone is caught up on all the "in jokes."

"Pirates of the Hellingly Asylum Part 2: Sporadic Storms" - Motts even provided the perfect title. Looks like we have us a movie here! Motts is in charge of photography, Mr. Depp stars, I'll help with choreography and be Mr. Depp's 24-hour-a-day personal assistant, and everyone else can do whatever they please. It's a winner in MY book. ;-)

Thanks for the link! That was gonna drive me!

Oh no! For what? We'll take care of you! :-)

But remember, Jude, every time he gets an especially clever one, folks take him literally and get all corn-fused. 8`-)
