Hi Lynne,
I know you get upset when people go on about hospital staff being abusive and all the ill either being stupid or dangerous soI just thought you'd like to know that around my town things are getting better.
Seriously, the other day I was driving by blockbuster and their was a whole van from the asylum full of people. A few of them looked profoundly reatrded and a few of them seemed to have torette's symdrom (sp?) but they were all fairly well behaved. I think that one of the aids had gone in to blockbuster to rent a movie.
A few years agao it was unheard of to take those in a mental institution out for a day in the town around here, now we see it more and more. Everything is well supervisied and the patients never seem to be a problem. They don't bother anyone.
Hopefully society is getting more accepting now huh? :-)

Yes, please refrain from using terminology such as that. It can be very insulting to those of us who have close relatives who have mental retardation and developmental disabilities. It may not be intended but I take a personal offense to comments like that.

did anyone played fear ?

the glass is the same :)

Lynne, your posts are fantastic, they are so informative. The websites you post are also great. I think it is more important to learn from someone like you and really enjoy reading your posts. Thankyou!!!

Every once in a while, my mouth-words do right by some.

Similar to before - swearing is fine - why do people have to be so cruel and thoughtless in the names they use for people with psychiatric issues and intellectual disabilities? This is not about being PC - it's about respecting others.

The irony here is that I don't care if someone swears. However, the wrong word was bleeped out above. >:-(

must have been one of the lock down wards. oh and by the way, My Babcia,(polish for grandma, please no jokes) worked at the kings park facility when she was a student nurse back in the stone age. And even though the place looks like the "EVIL CASTLE OF THE DAMNED MAD" the treatment of the patients was very quite progressive and kind. 1 more thing-MOTT GREAT FLIPPIN SITE THIS IS A ALMIGHTYSEND TO THOSE LIKE ME THAT WANTED TO SEE THESE JOINTS FROM THE INSIDE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. ANND CAN I HAVE AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF YOUR BOOK. PLEEEEAAAASSSSE???????!!!!!!!!!

one is smiling

Thank God for people like mott that dont give a flying fart about censorship. The old stories from my home state Pootah (Utah) is that Brigham Young just orderd the insane to be executed. (Many of which he performed himself.) infact it wasent 10 yrs. after his death that the State (Territory before 1896) began building a state nut farm. in provo by the county cesspool dump. So as far i can gather the Mentally ill fared better on the east coast. even in that old Happy Acers Center for the Tappioca Minded.

THEY EVEN SPRAY PAINTED EVERY SEAT????

No, whoever crawled in there to spray paint is a ******* retard.

Don't even want to know what's growing there!

Looks like somebody took a jack-hammer to the walls!

LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!! I feel it has to have a title.
