When I was 15 and legally able to get my driver's license (in California) my dad went down to the junk yard and bought a 1947 Studebaker for me to practice driving on. It was real cool -- had that little window in the back -- manual transmission on the steering column -- bet I could still shift it! No, I'm not that OLD.

Waiting for what, Godot? Or a good case of lead poisoning? If you look closely, you can see the wainscotting -- quite beautiful!

No offense taken. But being a child right before the Salk vaccines were first administered to school children and having childhood friends who came down with the disease, the iron lungs were the only way to keep these children alive. I guess we have a lot to be thankful for today that polio is virtually wiped out in this country.

I checked the Danvers website and as of yesterday 5/18, everything has been demolished except for the water tower and C ward. [BIG GROANING SIGH] I feel like someone in my family died. Of course, we still have these wonderful pictures, but I just feel so sad.

This doesn't crack me up. I was a very young tot when the polio epidemic was raging in this country -- this is what is called an iron lung which enabled polio patients to breathe. My mother told me about how frantic my parents were when the girl across the street came down with polio -- I had been playing with her. Luckily I didn't contract polio, but a lot of poor children did, and they had to be confined to this monstrosity, sometimes fo rthe rest of their lives. Nothing to laugh about.

Okay, CAS, if it isn't a heart, what is it. I think it's an ice cream cone.

Yes, that's what happened to me with my high school accounting teacher -- she took pity on me and gave me a D so I could graduate. And haven't used accounting since. I'm a great cook, though! hee hee

No, V, I beg to differ! This is not what insanity must feel like! But I am sure our beloved Lynne will fill you in sometime to enlighten you!
