The plants coming in the windows is most likey english ivy. It grew all over the building and while the place was in operation, it was kept under control... Wisteria grows in the south/more temperate climes.
Motts, what is it with you and chairs? You've reached the point where chairs are practically the first thing that comes to mind when people think of you. It's like this:
If anyone would mind bringing that out, I've got a lot of really old (circa mid 1960s) home movies I'd like to watch. It seems the only place you can get a film projector is in abandoned schools for the mentally disabled.
My sister now lives in Kings Park and she told me about this site. Having grown up in the next town, this area was a really cool place to explore. About 10 years ago, my brother, my then 8 year old son and I went into building 93 at night with flashlights. It was amazing! And scary too. I took a "Kings Park Psych. Patients Bill of Rights" sign off the wall. If I can find it, I'll email you a copy. The three of us still have great memories from that night. Thanks so much for this great site.

I went back and re-read the whole thing this morning, and man, so funny!
Ok, regarding cameras in the delivery: hell no! Who the hell wants to see that??? Unless it is for medical purposes, and is consented to in advance, why oh why? Eeeew ~shudder~ Makes me think of Epistomes and SitzBaths!
As for the guys being there... Yes and no. I agree that some guys need to be more responsible in this aspect, but then again, some chicks maybe need to be slightly more picky in who they let knock them up! I mean, if he doesn't look like he's going to be there to support you, having a baby isn't going to change that! Ladies: be picky when choosing a mate! Go for only high quality Dr.'s! :D
Still kinda bummed; nobody ever took my offer to shove a camera down my pants seriously... :(
Ok, regarding the ~ahem~ testing. Having worked in a clinic that specialized in reproductive organs, I can say beyond a doubt: pap smears suck. Mammograms suck. Then again, having some dude stick a finger up your butt while he fondles your testes and tries to make "small talk" isn't fun either. I agree, it is a sucky thing to go through. Then again, so is losing part of your body to cancer because it wasn't caught in time. I don't enjoy my yearly testing either (they have this one STD test where they shove a q-tip the size of my arm in... let's just say a very small hole), but I'd rather be safe and catch things early...
