Johnny - Welcome to the addiction that creates Opacity Junkies.

"Who knew our leader had talent AND a funky sense of humour??"


I had an inkling.

Poor lonely chair ... at least it got a cigarette before its exicution.

Hmm ... yeah, I can see that. Sorry ... I wasn't raised in a Christian household. Makes sense to me ... and I'm not offended, so nothing to be sorry for. I was wrong. Forgive my mis-information.

Stranger, I'm curious as to the source this information came from. Would you please cite it for us?

Correction:

Thank you, Alex, for realizing that everybody in the facility where you were wasn't out to hurt you.

Couldn't have said it better, Alex. Take notes, nae-sayers ... that was comming from a former client. One of the "abused and tortured" masses according to 75% of the drive-by posters.

Thank you, Alex, for realizing that not everybody in the facility where you were wasn't out to hurt you.

That cut, in black with a patent leather belt? It'll be on the wall at "Hot Gothic" next season ... watch.

Hmm ... it's not just a website, though; at least not to us. Trying to preach the errors of our ways won't do much, so why bother? Nevermind, don't answer that. It'll just get ugly and nobody wants to see that. Sooo ... enjoy the pics and don't read the comments, it's not that difficult to do.

YAY for ice cream!!! :-D

Thank you, Jess. Your mother did a service to a small slice of humanity who needed it. She should be congratulated.

AMM -

Situations like that, although not necessarily to that extreme, happen all the time in a psych facility. I'm more than grateful that we have seculsion rooms for some of the patients that might need a "time out" until the meds kick in.

Nancy -

Not only did they use Seclusion rooms in the "old days," they still do. I have a killer headache I'm trying to fight off right now or else I'd go into all the details; however, SRs aren't geared to making a "better person." They're used to contain a person until they can be reasoned with - without harming themselves or others. The ones where I work are under twenty-four hour video / audio survelliance.

Before you think it's "inhumane," ask yourself how would you rather deal with a detoxiing sociopathic psychotic who would rather self-medicate than take the meds RXd to him by the doctor? Don't you think he might take having a conversation with staff a little better if he's had a night to sober up in a safe enviroment?

Nancy -

Pretty much. It's cheaper to let the buildings just rot than pay the enviromental fees to dispose of the deconstructed material or retro-fit the places to bring them to modern code.

Makes me glad we have showers and no bathtubs, Ed.

To the "Mother that cares":

I'm sorry that you feel our comments lack the decorum that you feel necessary. I sincerely do not see how the comments expressed by people about the photographs on this site contribute to the decline of Western civilization. However, since this is not the place for such a debate, I'd be glad to have a conversation with you either via Private Message or Public Forum in Opacity's Forum (http://www.opacity.us/forum/). My user name there is serrena_de_singe. I look forward to our conversation.
