As I have been reminded by my lovely partner, that Ack is normally decent folk, I would like to take a moment and remove my toes from my mouth.

I apologize if that was a bit harsh, but only to ACK, do I make this apology. I will not apologize to anyone else who comes along and uses that word to describe a person of challenged mental capacity.

Nowhere in that definition does it describe someone who is Mentally Impaired.
So I suggest you learn a new descriptive word.

Or you might find the respect that we show each other here, a bit retarded when it comes to you.

Fantastic colours! How is it that the shots look composed, but I'm sure it is just how the light fell into the rooms completely randomly...

Thick glass or plexiglas and mesh screen are your usual giveaways. They need to withstand the violence of having furniture and bodies tossed against them if the person is not in control of themself at the time.
