On Saturdays when my family visited my brother who remained institutionalized from 1952 until his death in 1982, I remember going to that general store in Thiels and reading as many comics as we could get away with before laying our 12 cents down for 1 comic when the owner got annoyed with us. A very patient man really!
Last comment is mine but I want to add what dredged up memories of Letchworth. Ran into a man named Alvin yesterday who was institutionalized at Letchworth from the age of 7 to age of 22. It's criminal that his youth was spent there. Somehow a man who never should have been institutionalized was and no one did much about it.
Every saturday for years starting in 1952 my family came to Letchworth to see and visit with my brother Nick who was institutionalized. I remember the sadness and the dreariness but I also remember walking thru the fall leaves with my sisters and walking on the ice at the lake near the hospital. My mom is surprised that the 3 of us could have pleasant memories as well as the darker memories of Letchworth.
Working in pharmacy and knowing the desire to " get get get", esp. from teenagers and dumbasses - if they WERE meds no one would have left them sit there a day.
as it's been stated, people don't "swallow their tongue" that is a myth. And YES, I am speaking from first hand experience, I have had a few in my life. Thank GOD only a few, but it doesnt happen. I bit the helll out of it and left teeth marks in my tongue, but you DON'T swallow it - wive's tale,
