""And what does ye olde spousal unit say about it, Lyric?"

Um ... I plead the fifth. I haven't hit rock bottom yet, I'm just a "Social Opacity User.""

Denial is not a river in Egypt! You are more than a social user, you use every chance you get... You need help.

I think we are going to have to have an OA (Opacity Anonymous) meeting... I'll go first..

Hi, my name is Lyric, and I'm an addict... I have been addicited to Opacity for a couple months now, and have only begun to comment..
I have found myself looking at the Comments board and News at least once a day at work, at home I am much worse.. I am also a pusher. I have pushed opacity on my spouse....

AND I REFUSE TO STOP!

My own quote-----"So I suggest you learn a new descriptive word.

Or you might find the respect that we show each other here, a bit retarded when it comes to you"

As I have been reminded by my lovely partner, that Ack is normally decent folk, I would like to take a moment and remove my toes from my mouth.

I apologize if that was a bit harsh, but only to ACK, do I make this apology. I will not apologize to anyone else who comes along and uses that word to describe a person of challenged mental capacity.

Sure.. I'll even fill out all the forms

I hate it when people use the word Retard, or other dimunitive word to describe others.

Nowhere in that definition does it describe someone who is Mentally Impaired.
So I suggest you learn a new descriptive word.

Or you might find the respect that we show each other here, a bit retarded when it comes to you.

Please, don't be embarassed Lynne. I am finally learning things about the human brain that has fascinated me for many years.
What's better is that I am learning to appreciate all the work that goes into Mental Health Care.
I know that it is a field that is sorely in need of the right kinds of people to go into this section of medical care.
I have also learned more about the old ways of treating illnesses, and that it isn't the 1800's where you can be a lobotomy candidate for masturbating.
You do Motts, this site, and us a great service by being here and working to advocate proper treatment and care of the patients. I am proud to read your comments and rally behind you as you remember to {thump} us all on the head with the knowledge you posess.

Thank you very much for all you do, both here and on your job.

it is a very narrow door. However, in some of the very old jails. Department of Corrections didn't have humane guidlines as to how big a cell must be.
Often, all they contained was a cot and barely room to walk past it and out the cell door.

Yep, that's Wysteria..... It's got those twirly vines.

We have Vinca here in California, and let me tell you, that plant eats EVERYTHING!

Can we put him in a tub of ice water???? PUHLEASE?!?!?!

Let us not forget that these same idiots that go in and trash things will have to explain to the local ER where they were when in their own limited intelligence got hurt because they thought they were being "cool".

Which will only result in these locations being more heavily patrolled by more than just security, and in some cases will bring the date with what ever development company has plans for them because the company won't want to pay out anymore hazard insurance than they already have to.

Which will of course take the real explorers and push them out, or worse, get them caught.

"comment deleted by it's owner due to the sarcastic comment regarding the intelligence of the previous commenter"

Come by when you can Lynne.. I wasn't sure if it would catch on or not.
Either I will be around or Serrena. I really don't care who opens it up.
It's for everyone to use.

Surprisingly enough they are only just wider than the average human. Think the size of a twin sized bed, but a bit longer for plumbing and sinks.
Most have holes like this one, or they have gutters in the sides of the table, with smoothe steel under the body.

There are rare occasions in which graffitti is art, when most often it is vulgar.
It's not something that I would condone on a building that is still in use, or one that is a historical landmark that isn't going anywhere, because of preservation work.
But, when it's got a date with the wrecking ball, and it is a tradition then..... It can be fitting.

Speaking of tradition and tags. Mr. Motts, I can't wait to see what treasures you gleaned from MCD in my hometown of Motown.
I used to explore in there often before I moved west, but never had the forethought to take a camera.

Happy B day Ed!
