Em . . . . . . . "the Taco Club"?????

I wish my guy friends were in to this sort of stuff...but no, they sit on their computers running the Taco Club lol. And yes, that is their real club...

And the same people will tell me to shut the hell up.

And I'll ignore them again. :-)

Ain't it grand when life gets predictable? ;-)

Lynne, I think its great that patients get to pick their own room color. It would certainly make the place a bit more personable. And yes, 20 years from now we will be here saying "Now why the heck are all those different colors?"...and Lynne will come by and explain...again...

Mr. Motts is quite correct. The "prettier", more well-behaved patients were placed closer to the administration section up toward the front. The less tractable and "curable" a patient was thought to be, the farther back they were placed.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is where the phrase "the back wards" comes from. :-)

Hey! Looka this! Just what we were saying earlier! :-)

Richard - mind if I steal your last line? I happen to think it might come in handy pretty soon . . . : - ]

I learned something new tonite, thanks Lynne :)

So, Motts, do you drag your girlfriend-wannabes along when you photograph these places to see how they handle it? It's absolutely none of my business, so naturally I just had to ask. :-)

"Fronkensteen" or "Frankenstein"? ;-)

Well, if that don't take the damn cake! You give that beer back, child, or we're gonna make you sit on ragdolledwahine's commode chair! And we're not even going to give you one of those handy dandy paper toilet seat liners! >:-(

anna, don't be gettin' all technical on us with all that photo jargon and all . . .

Ha! 8`-) anna, I was wondering why you were clearing your throat ("hrm") until I saw that this is someone's name. 8`-)

I just lie and say mine always looked fashionable, while burning every old picture I can get my hands on.

Our fire alarms are like that on most parts of campus - they require a key. Otherwise the folks would have an uproarious time setting off the fire alarms. We don't have very many folks left on campus who understand the concept of a fire alarm to alert others for a fire, so none of them would be able to use one if there was a fire and they were aware of it.
