my parents still have their original radiators in their house that was built in 1881. I use to love coming in from cold winter mornings or snowball fights with my brothers and feeling the heat come off of them. I still love going to their house in the wintertime and hearing the steam hissing out of them
I don't think these colours are too bad. At least they do not have the colour of radioactive mint jelly, like my classroom in elementary school had....
I love those old style steam radiators, made of cast iron. Our house was built in 1962, and we used to have them all over there, but when we renovated most of them were replaced with new, more boxy sheet metal steam radiators. They are still nice, but the warmth is just not as comfy as back then...
See the brown stains in the right shower stall? Looks like some kind of old glue to me, like if the soap dispenser was there before it was moved upwards for some reason. At least, these stains are at the same height as the soap dispenser in the left shower stall.
Vastarien202 - Quite contrary... people get addicted to alcohol and other drugs for many reasons - a common thread in addicts, however is the persistant belief that one can and should control everything; even those things well beyond the control of any one human being. "turning one's life over" is an exercise in humility, not abdication of personal responsibility... in fact, most of the twelve steps are intended to foster recognition and acceptance of personal responsibility - in all interactions... see steps 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion... and while I disagree with it, I respect your right to yours.
