I was told by my P.C. that this type of bed would be good for me since I toss and turn and fall out of bed. I am disabled and have back/spine and other physical problems. I wear diapers and pull-ups and have for over 15yrs. the type of beds I was shown where like cribs I have been in in hospitals and nursing centers at the request of my doctor with my consent, the others where tent or zipper enclosed like some of the links listed above. I still don't have one at home as I said I would have to think about it. I have a water bed queen size and my care providers solution was to drain enough water from it so I get stuck between the bladder and padded rails. I used to have a regular bed with a railing but as I rolled around the railing would either slide out from under the matress or if she pinned with the dresser to the bed I would roll over it because it wasn't designed for a pillow top matress and I have very sensative nerves and such. I it has been 2yrs since it was recommended and I am still contemplating a adult crib or simular bed at home. I was put in a crib like this when I was in a lock down ward because I requested it and they got one on loan just for me. I felt more secure at night in it at the facility because of my being scared with all the other mental health patents running around. one was even violent but i digress. the doctors and nurses asked why I wanted the crib and why I felt safe in it and I told them that I just felt safe and secure in it. I was there because I had made my third suicide attempt and my family had no longer wished to care for me. I feel that it should be the patients or persons choice if they are able to make the call like me. if not well then what is in their best interest has to be considered. Care givers don't have it easy. I know mine yells at me and has even threatened to spank me for behaving like a bratty child at times. I most likely deserve it LOL. but it is against the rules so she never has. hope this helps put a better perspective on it. dv

Thanks for your response Motts.. Actually, I had meant the object that was WAY out across the trees in the distance...The white object that was commented on in comments on smaller dish gallery....

I agree with Mitch. They are part actuator for the main steam valves.

Motts,

I've been a lurker but not a poster yet. I'm from Detroit and while I haven't had the cojones to actually explore the giant array of abandoned buildings we have (like, all of them lol) I study them and their history, especially MCS. "Catfish" was a guy who was living in the train station in the 90s because he was homeless. He's no longer there, apparently he pulled his act together, got a job, and is now doing okay. So there is an answer to your Catfish mystery (Btw, you do amazing work).

the painter must have taken along time to detail the ceiling...wow!

oh man! thats an awesome pic!

true italian masonry...

In this clothing store I worked at in the late 70's, the alteration department had all kinds of steamers and industrial strength irons that were even hooked up to constant water supplys like an automatic ice maker. Anyway, those freaking irons put out so much steam that in the winter time they didn't even have to heat that department, they let the irons do it!

Toot - My mom called it a mangle too, I think because every other sheet got mangled!

I'd live there with the zombies if I didn't have to pay rent!
