Houses aren't usually cleaned on a daily - or in some cases weekly - basis with bleach or acid based chemicals that, at the time, were used as Biocides in institutions. The walls inside the janitor's closet where I work are constantly shedding paint chips, much like the walls in these abandoned buildings, from having been exposed to industrial cleaning products and water every day.
Even in modern times, NABC (Non-Acid Bathroom Cleaner) is used widely to clean everything from the floors to ceiling - including windows. It's still not something I'd consider cleaning my walls with at home, though. It's made to kill biohazardous bacteria ... not prolong the life of latex paint.
The only problem with the Chat is that we never know if anybody's planning on going there or not. Lyric kind of hangs out in it when she gets home from work. Amanda's Mom and Tony C. are the usual suspects. We're on the left coast, so usually Lyric or I .. or at times both of us ... are in there after seven in the evening our time.
You ALL are more than welcome to use it, though. Lyric doesn't have to 'open' it. There's nothing to "sign up" for or download. It's just a basic, no-frills Java chat.
But, Mr. Radical Ed, sir, if he actually /knew/ what the heck he was talking about it wouldn't be half as entertaining for him as what he imagines goes on in there. Some have photographic minds ... he's got a pornographic one. Either that or he watched "Clockwork Orange" one too many times.
I think I'm the only person on earth that has not so much as tried any of the "energy drinks" on the market. Seen what happend with people mixing them with alcohol one too many times in a previous profession. I'll stick to my French Roast with too much sugar, thanks. ;-)
Would /you/ want a hotel room in a train terminal? If they were hotel rooms - which I highly doubt - they'd be the kind that rent by the hour - night - week - month.
