I see the face too--middle coumn, 6 or 7 seats down, second over, long hair, teenaged...70's cut...I see him but he doesn't look angry to me

Seating for four?

POOP THERE IT IS !

a bird in hand is worth two in the bush!

Looking into the left cuboard I can see a ghost. =)

Those doors kinda look like a face

ive never seen chairs like that over here (uk )

ive never visited the place. i just enjoy browsing. im glad i did. very interesting

Ok I guess if I did look around a little bit I COULD find something else to explore, but like a lot of ppl on this site I want to see old hospitals, asylums, worlds I am very unfamiliar with.<stamps foot and whines> :) I did go to Guthrie (former comment) about 2 weeks ago, and was able to get in only b/c they were having a wedding in the once abandoned, now beautifully restored orphanage. ( I pretended to be apart of the wedding planners and snuck off, but was unable to get many pics b/c most of the doors were locked. ;) Visiting the old abandoned hospital down the street however is the perfect ticket to jail, for the Oklahoma PRI group has live camera feeds in the place which police frequently check for trespassers. I didn't know this at the time so thank goodness our "tour guide" forgot how to get to the old hospital. =-o Anyway, there are other blds I am looking at going to that seem very interesting, can't wait!! Oh yeah, if anyone wants to see the pics of the orphanage, email me: lil_T_376@hotmail.com

lil t,
Not true, there are tons of old Missile Silo's all around Oklahoma.. those are pretty cool to go check out. Used to have one on some land we rented a long time ago for the barns to keep hay in. Just north of Willow... last I knew, the doors were still open from when we opened them.. took 5 cranes to open one door.

A patient's records would not be given to the family upon the patient's death unless a formal request was made by the family. Medical records (including all of our own, not just those of patients with mental illness) belong to the doctor, therapist, hospital etc. that provides the treatment, not to the patient. While the records are *about* the patient, they are *owned* by the provider.

Although these records have patient names on them, they are not necessarily clinical records. They could contain the monthly bank statements for the trustee accounts the hospital maintained for each patient, with receipts for all the funds spent for or by the patient. Other possibilities--personal property inventories, correspondence from Social Security, etc.

Besides the people who smear feces because of their developmental level, and some others who do it for attention, I've also known people who used smearing feces to keep others *away* from them, as a means of self-defense. ("don't bother him unless you want poop thrown on you") But most of the time it just means the person needs more activities .

Love the color contrast

As unpalatable as it is now, the truth is that the eugenics movement began in the United States. To quote Edwin Black in his book "War Against the Weak:" "Using the power of money, prestige and international academic exchanges, American eugenicists exported their philosophy to nations throughout the world, including Germany. Decades after a eugenics campaign of mass sterilization and involuntary incarceration of 'defectives' was institutionalized in the United States, the American effort to create a super Nordic race came to the attention of Adolf Hitler. ...Only after the secrets of Nazi eugenics horrifed the world, only after Nuremburg declared compulsory sterilization a crime against humanity, did American eugenics recede, adopt an enlightened view and then resurface as 'genetics' and 'human engineering'."
