wow. i havent jumped at anything on this site untill i saw this. that really creeped me out.

I for one, apologize for all my useless and silly remarks on here, InSearch is right about that.
On the other hand, do you really think ALL of your posts are edifying and stick to the subject at hand? or are useful somehow? Your sparkling commentary on the picture of the plastic chairs is just one example.
Like I said, I know I have been an offender, and will knock it off, but people who live in glass houses etc etc....

Thanks, Michele. : )

Thank you for your on-going concerns. If there are problems with people posting inappropriately, Administration will be happy to handle it.

I was just thinking of the movers waiting for a truck or something, got bored and messed around with a puzzle untill it came.
nobody will ever know, and i like it that way.

Keep in mind that other people besides Motts may have entered the building. Meaning, they may have moved around certain items (such as the puzzle) and we just assume that those items were left in those exact spots by the employees or patients of that particular era.

Thank you, Lynne, for the info. you provide on a lot of these photographs. It is nice to know that a knowledgeable person is willing to share with the rest of us who wonder about some of these things. Again, many thanks.

To sum it all up, they for the paitents protection and to cause no harm to them. Infact could prevent harm coming their way. Like safety belts, just like safety belts. I mean you strap your baby in a stroller or carseat, so why not think of that protection for everyone that may need it.

Amazing. Simply amazing how so many people use up space by making comments with useless info. Thank you Amy for making an interesting comment. The rest of you just need to exchange email addys so you can blast away with silliness.

Those are the chairs we used for lunch in the middle shcool. In highschool they have black and red for our school colors :D

Straps, restraints, support, whatever you want to call them, they were and are used for one purpose. To keep the patient in their gosh darn seat! Some patients are violent and some are simply weak. Nonetheless, rules were different back then compared to now. Nowadays, you can get sued for simply looking at someone in a "wrong" way. Hospitals and institutions must be very careful on how they handle and speak about their patients. Also, some people get very easily insulted on how you describe a certain situation, so please be careful and unfortunately, you must always walk on eggshells because there is always someone out there just dying to get on your case for insensitivity.

Okay, who else wants to give their age away by stating that they, too, once sat their tush in a chair exactly like this one?

Isn't it amazing how many people have posted a comment that has absolutely no important info. whatsoever? It's just a bunch of rambling and silly comments. I know my comment has no significance either, but it does become annoying when people think this website is for silly jokes and useless information.

Omg...

Lynne, time and time again, thank you for your very interesting and informational peek into the lives of the often unsung and under-appreciated hospital caretaker.

Sooo incredibly interesting!
