<smirks>

[late Friday afternoon sigh] me, too, surly girl -- WTF?

sianaby, as a fellow uk resident i'd be interested to hear your sources for the died at birth/asylum/drowning thing. not something i've heard of..

Dr. Sketch, my love:

I know it's Friday, but you need more sleep, hon. ;-)

surly girl, we need to clone you. I admit that novocaine made me run for my adult incontinent briefs there . . . . 8`-)

The old bag? Was it a WalMart bag?

If I could i would take all those babies and give them all my love.
Lynn, you must be a pretty spectacular person to work in such a place, I know i wouldn't last 5 minutes, it would just break my heart. The last time i volunteered at anything was when i was 12 and i went to an old peope's home to keep some of them company for the afternoon. while i was there an old lady died and it was almost a physical pain. she shouted for her husband (who had been dead for 40 years) said "there you are" and went. I haven't done it since, i thought it was best due to the fact that i find it very easy to form an emotional attachment with anyone i meet.
Like you for instance, you can bet your last penny that you will stick in my head for whatever reason because of the work you do and it's pretty much guaranteed that i will tell some family member or friend about the stuff you do and say on this site!

I agree with Lynn. Here in the uk it was not uncommon for doctors to tell parents that their physically impaired/deformed child had died at birth. Parents left the hospital grieving for a loss that hadn't occurred, many of the children were placed in "asylums" but in some cases they were drowned.
In other cases babies and children were physically dragged from their parents and removed from their care all due to the fact that physically or psychologically they did not conform to society's view of normal children.
In a majority of the cases it was under medical advice that children were admitted to these places, although there were parents who were willing to "rid themselves of such a burden".
Its such a sad thing. I knew i loved both my babies before i met them, i know that i could never turn their care over to anyone else.

My mum used to have a bike EXACTLY like the one the old bag is riding in The Wizard Of Oz....i'm pretty sure it folded in half too......oh the shame of it!

i think novocaine was referrring to all the "ooh, was that where they tortured them?" comments from spidergirl at the beginning of this gallery...

Glurp! However, I do love the color contrasts, the greenery, and the grey and red of the, oh, whatever it is!

The motor on that pedistal fan is only 1/3 horsepower. That much torque can't do shit to bone. You'd need at least maybe 10 horsepower to do that.

Novocaine.... ummm..... ummmm..... what? You realize that the fan is not part of that machine? There is no way to even argue logic with that statement... There is no such thing as a "human blender"! Can you imagine how frigging strong the motor would have to be to put out enough torque to chop up bone?
