sorry Puddleboy, i believe it's actually 52,691 oak tree leaves >:P

That's 52,690 oak tree leaves...

aaaaaahhh...thanks for the links Lynne, i can sleep now :) "eskies full of VB" means a cooler full of victoria bitter...one of the foulest of australian beers generally associated with vagrants, low-lives and the unemployed. I'm always available to decipher any other aussie slang so, fire away :)

Ya know, you could look at this like it's great that she was the first one they painted and then they painted the other children afterward, so she was first on the artist's mind.

But then, it wouldn't sound like everyone who worked here sucked and the place sucked, would it? It would sound like the artist was open-minded and cared about people who use wheelchairs for transportation. So I guess we can rub out THAT particular explanation and look for one that describes the place as a true hellhole with no socially redeeming values at all and everyone who ever worked here as a sadistic maniac who hated people who use wheelchairs. That would certainly fit with people's fondest wishes and hopes, it seems. Geez, the first little girl is pretty faded too, but I don't see anyone getting all sentimental and pitiful about discrimination against Caucasian girls with black hair who wear red skirts and how she is placed "all alone" in front of the other children.

Look at YOUR biases, people, because a lot of y'all are surely projecting them here.

And that, my dear friends, was professional analysis totally free of charge. And worth every penny of it, to boot! :-)

Yep, there is some bitter irony at work here, that's for sure.

Where's my helmet again?

People bring leaves to parties these days? I really must get out more . . . .

But "Power Plant Paranormal" is pretty damned funny. 8`-)

This was my office outside of Dietary Department....really neat pictures...brings back some real good memories.

This was my office when I worked there for 10 years...I was a Dietitian at Pennhurst and this picture was outside of Dietary Department.

Meghan,
Don't you think throwing corpses down a chute seems a bit unlikely? Not to mention messy.

I love this photo...it is bitterly ironic...'safety' chairs...and all around are signs of destruction and pain... saftey for what?...definately not the spirit or emotions of these poor children.

The girl in the wheelchair...she looks so faded and alone...how she is placed behind the other children...

Kevin,
Can you give any details about the tour? A friend will be visiting NY soon and is very interested to see the place.

Thanks

o.o
