Oooo. There's something a bit unnerving and upsetting about this picture. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about how that clock was working one minute and stopped the next. Life and death? Not sure.

Hah! Hah! Mis. America! That's funny!

I think our toilets need a warnning on them, especially after some members of our household get finished using them. Some of that caution tape, some crime sceen tape and one or two of those bio hazard, signs. LOL

It was the koolaide man LOL! That thing gave me nightmares when I was a kid, kept dreaming that big pichers of talking koolaide came crashing through my bedroom wall.

As for who pays the bill? Maybe the city? Or whoever is in charge of the working part of the hospital? Surely running a few lights doesn't bring up red flags, so the charges probily just get overlooked and paid without much thought?

Kind of makes me think of "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile"

...And you couldn't pay me to go and see what that wonder crud is, or rather was, because it's most likely gone now along with that sink thing and that room and that building and that hospital.

Ewwww! It looks like it was used as a toilet and somebody duked in it! Nas-tay! Although, in all reality it was just some sort of sink thing and that... Whatever it is, wonder crud, isn't a big duke more likely rust, standing water, dirt, something like that.

Oh wow! Haven't gone through the comments yet, and if somebody has already said it, sorry. But. What a crap hole! Looks like the whole damned place is going to tip over at any moment, just decay everywhere. Gawd.

Unless you're hittler, or somebody evil like that, why in the world would you want to put barbbed wire in too the head of somebody just because they were disabled? I cannot see the value in this, and true some testing was done on state school children and other disabled people who lived in places such as this I'm thinking here of the tests done in the mid part of the 1900 the thing with the radation? State Boys Rebellion, all that but I really find it hard to beleive they would do such, the only word that comes to mind is natziesc sorts of prosedures. such as barbed wire inside the skull, odds and ends in someone's chest, and such like that. But what do I know? Maybe they did. I hope this isn't the truth... but if it is. God help us, God help us all and forgive us...

Oh, the soap. We either got that nasty mintyish smelling liquid or that sickly pink stuff that smelled like a cross between the lady's room at church and old lady... YUCK!

They did something very much like that in the younger girls' department at the state school for the blind when I was there. We were three or four girls to one large room. We each had a desk, chair, twin bed and a chest of drawrs oh and a closet.

On each drawr in the chest of drawrs there was, on the out side of each drawr, masking tape with the name of that drawr's contense. So you'd have one that said "Toiletries" and one that said "Socks and undergarmets" and one for pants or shorts or whatever.

Now, you might be asking yourself, if this was in a school for blind children, why the print? This was, I'm guessing, for the bennifit of the overnight staff who had to help some of us get ready in the morning... And for any dorm staff, if they had to find something for us. Either they changed things or when you got to be an older girl I don't remmber but I do know that the older girls, teens, ect. didn't have this, only the little kids.

It is interesting to think that the sun you see in this photo is the same sun that has shown down on well the whole world for ever and ever. I mean when this place was used as a war time building, the people who lived/worked there saw the same sun that the school children and staff saw and it is the same sun we see today. Kind of timeless, right?

Well that didn't post right. What I meant to say is the larger part of our hall bathroom is painted a shade of blue just a bit darker than this door and isn't at all depressing, in fact it is calming. The smaller section of our bathroom, the W/C with the tub and toilet is painted white with that god awful gold tile from the 70s and is drab and depressing more so than the blue, larger room in our bathroom

Part of our hall bathroom, the larger room with the sink and counter and closet is painted a lovely shade of blue a bit darker than this, it isn't at all depressing rather it is c.Ww, the smaller room holding the tub and toilet is white with 70s god tile and I think is more depressing and blah then th blue section of our bathroom.

Yummmmmmmm, paint chips with a nice mold dip... Anyone want a late night snack?

Wow, very interesting, the reason behind the curved hallway... I'd of never thought of the curve as a mesure to prevent beds being placed in the hall.
