I live in England and signed the online petition to save Danvers, not far from me is an asylum that is going to be torn down so it seems no matter were you live these old buildings mean nothing to some, which is disgraceful 8(

i love this series of photos. however, i don't think there's any deep meaning as to why the children are facing away. whoever painted the mural probably couldn't paint faces very well. i'm HORRIBLE at drawing arms/hands so whenever i draw a person, i usually have their arms behind their back...hahaha

just a thought...

Ahh, great minds think alike huh Tony? :-) I was wondering that too, some sort of R&R room for employees, or dining room for them?

In fact, the hospital I was speaking of in the last post is the sister hospital to this one: http://www.forgottenoh...scan/franciscan.html

I totally see what Lynne is saying...what is so weird those is how proportionally drawn the "bunny" ears are...there is no wavering, it would suprise me if a young child could steady their hand that well. Then again, I'm not around young children much. For all we know, it could have been some bored teenager thinking they were being funny.

Haha, I had a dream about Opacity last week (may have been the Nyquil, that stuff does some strange stuff...) Anyways, Motts was leading a tour of some abandoned place, and we had to climb down narrow walkway things, and I didn't like it because I am afraid of heights if I am not protected. Then we were like climbing down into this building and it was looking so pristine, like someone still lived there. Then all of a sudden everyon was turning to get out as fast as they could, I'm still not sure why (perhaps they spotted Covenant? lmao) and I was trying to gather my things and it was taking forever, and everyone was passing by me...I hate dreams like that! Especially those with an overwhelmingly evil presence that lingers in your soul for a long time.

You know morgues are often located in the strangest of places, I am familiar with a hospital in my area in which the morgue is right at the end of a short hall from the main cafeteria...and this is a well used cafeteria which is always lively and bustling. I often look down that hall while I'm in there and wonder if people could finish their lunches if they knew what lurked just beyond that stainless steel door.

Lynne, you know what I hate the most about the way people think when it comes to these facilities? Patients (not as often) and their families (very often) who complain about the "service" in hospitals...a nurses duties do not include making sure that your coffee is not decaf, fetching you the morning paper, or looking up numbers for you to call. "Service" is something you get at a hotel, or a garage, not a hospital. A nurses job is VERY important, and in the time it takes a nurse to fetch your paper, or neatly arrange your personal artifacts, the person next door could be in life-threatening danger from any number of possible incidents. Here are just a few which are common in all hospitals: stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, fall, anaphylaxis (acute allergic reaction), choking, panic attacks, aneurysm, dangerous drug interactions, and the like. Nurses have a lot more than just one person to look out for on any given night, it just irks me to think of people being so self-centered that things like this happen. What are a nurses duties? How about making sure you don't die, or become profoundly disabled from something as simple as laying on your arm for too long as in the case with some operating room clients. All nurses take care to make sure that the little things are done for people, but people must realize that they are not in a hotel, they are not at wal-mart, and they are in a fast-food chain, in the hospital the customer is not always right. Forgive me if I sound stern, but it just seems like people want to be first in line, all the time, no matter what, with no consideration for the well being of others.
And as far as comments about lazy fat-assed nurses, I know there are plenty of fat-ass nurses out there, but they do more in a day than most people do in a week. Nursing is not a cake job by ANY means, and to disrespect those who are trying to care for you is just wrong. Anyone with a shred of decency should be able to see this.

I wonder if the Maxon company that made that control has any connection with the company called Maxon that makes distortion pedals for guitars...... interesting, at least to a guitar player like myself.

strangely familiar...

lol mona, thought the same

you know, of all the walkers I have ever seen, they each had an owner who was not too far behind or near it. Which makes me wonder, what the hell happened to this guy?

I've walked into houses where I could smell the prior residents. Feel them? No.

wow, someone really put effort into that.

lol grammar police..heh heh, glad I've never done that......
