thank you for the refraining of too many expletives - my being a female senses were not tooo offended - to Larry- maybe the Millbrook Independent will send you the article and pic if you contact a reporter the incident was in the June 15 edition and they kindly sent me the info i do not how to download info or I'd send it to you
I adore these sliding doors. I know them from being involved in choir and band. I more remember them as Stage Doors- since they slide, they can't be slammed... and can't ruin a performance. But I've seen them used as Fire Doors as well.
i can imagine a child with tremors but a sound mind needing something like this. His feet can be set in, the chains strapped over the feet to reduce the involuntary movement, and allow the child to focus on his studies.
It's not all sicko horror-show torture time, people. People had good reasons for the things they did, it's only our medical advances that has made formerly-sane ideas sound completely barbaric. Imagine what our children's children will think of us and our medical practices.
Had pull-out bleachers like this at my old HS...
weird for me to think that the stuff we used were used at mental hospitals too...
Them pullouts were dangerous sometimes.
I'd love to post them, I've had some difficulty finding historic photos of the hospital online. Shoot over a link or email. http://www.opacity.us/about/contact/
ohh man, seeing them chairs dragged me back to High school. There was a classroom near the Wood Shop that stored all the broken chairs so Maintenance could cobble chairs together- you'd get red seats with blue backs...
Oh what I would do for some german spatlese , auslese, or eiswein. That is some good stuff. Of course growing up with it makes me partial to it. The only american wein I drank growing up was discontinued by the time I moved statteside.
