Here, I think I can translate:
My good friends, I tell you truly that I myself was present at this complex on the prior Friday eve. The statue that Mr. Motts has showcased in this photograph was not present at the time of my visit! Truly, the stories regarding apparitions present at this building are incredible, if they may be believed.

Ok, I kinda channeled the ghost of an 1800's person there, but you get the drift...

~Me: Really? I dress up as a clown on random days to scare OTHER people... Hmmmm.... :D

Mr. Lynne's Husband: It was my fault, really! Don't get Lynne a straight jacket, because I like my ass in its unkicked form! :D

Lynne: Ok, I think you're safe now... $100 US doesn't sound too bad for them. The one I saw was almost $500 US! I hadn't even thought to check with the S&M crowd. Now how will I explain it to Mrs. Sketch? "Ummm, yeah, I'm just looking for a straight jacket, nothing dirty here at all..." :D I'll say it's for ~Me...

Thanks again for looking this up!

Ok, maybe I was trying to be just a little bit of a smart ass... I can't help it that my personal devil happens to sit on my fingers!

To be honest, I'm not even trying to be me these days, let alone you or ~Me. I'm just trying to be.

Bwahahahaha... I can see this happening too! Way to play it off!

Does anyone out there know an affordable place to get one? I'm claustrophobic, but for some reason it doesn't bother me as long as my face is uncovered. Besides, I think I'd rather face my fear head on than spend the rest of my life hiding from it...

That's kinda what I thought... Re-reading my comment, I sounded kinda insensitive, which isn't what I was going for. I just wanna check one out for myself... Maybe for Christmas? :D

Very symbolic: A prison that's nearly impossible to escape laying on the floor of a prison that was (I imagine) nearly impossible to escape.

Lynne, just out of curiousity, what exactly does it feel like being in a straight jacker (if you know). I've always wondered about it, to the point of almost buying one online for more money than I had available. I always thought they looked kind of comforting, warm, and safe, and I think it would work pretty quick to calm me down. How far off am I?

~Waves to the applauding audience in my head a la RHPS~
Used to be in theatre...

PB: Try GiMP. It has a colorize plugin that works pretty good...

It almost looks like the wall was cut open and is bleeding...

Poor guy couldn't escape like the rest...

Wait... (goes back and re-reads) WHAT? I have two problems with that sentence: "the outside brother assistant" and "controlled the temperature". Did you really need a Brother to assist you in taking a shower? And, of all the things he could have assisted you with (~shudder), why would you trust him with temp control? The only person who controls my shower temp is me (unless someone flushes, but that's another story).

Jo: I bet more people fling poo than you think! It would explain some of the pictures on here, that's for sure...

Well that describes a number of us, doesn't it? :D

So... it was for people storage? I'm not sure what you mean by "held hostage". Do you just mean held against their will? The same could be said of most doors inside an asylum or a jail. Usually a hostage is someone who is being held against their will to be traded for something else (money, a way out of a situation, etc). What exactly were you trying to say? (I'm not trying to be a smart ass, it just sounds that way...)
