Lia Housework was baddass back then. I bet our grannies would mow us down in a fight. The paint peels look like a mosaic here.

	Lia For abandoned detures they're actually quite clean =P

	Lia In the museum here there is an entre dentist office set from the 20's. The leather in the chair is almost white in the most "seated" parts. But the drills aren't at all as creepy as the syringes. Man, those were huge, angry metal syringes.

	Lia What did they use Carbon Dioxide for?

	Lia A lot of old houses here have sinks like that, but usually with just one metal pole beneath the center. The soap holders are square holes in the wall above the sink with ceramic lining. I think they look nice. But the bath tubs creep me out a bit for some reason. They have that huge metal drain with the chain and some bulky fawcets that look like they're gonna spew goo =P

	Lia The design scream 80's too. Nowdays they're quite fashionable. I'm certain I've seen this exact design sold for quite an offensive sum.

	Lia Yeah, even the mattresses look new, specially the on on the left.

	Lia It was probably posted much more recently since the erosion crests are beneath the sticker. Or maybe is just a crazy durable sticker =P

	Lia So I take it the frame on the ceiling lamp is a metal cage to keep the bulb from being broken? It looks like a fancy chadelier but would that be paradoxical in a room with a bolted down bed =P

	Lia Indeed, great info. I would crack steam trying to imagine what these could be.

	Lia At a first look I'd have thought "Pans".

	Lia I do wonder why the top bunker had such huge headboards though.

	Lia Isn't black mold highly toxic? Actually, a lot of the stuff you run into are toxic, do you ever masks? If not, man, your nose's got to have lasers.

	Lia Is it all really rust? Looks amazing!

	Lia Might still be functional, just not top notch...

	Lia I see closets in a fireplace =P Damn tricky those...

Lia I can't believe that article is from late 08's. The crowding of facilities for senile care is indeed walking towards similar abuse. And I do wonder if those physicians back then, even if they had a good intention, actually had any empirical data to back up their experiments. Especially EST. What could they believe a charge like that would do the brain's electrical patterns? I take it they didn't publish it in periodicals...

	Lia I wrote a paragraph about this photo, which turned into a story, and is almost 300 pages long now!

	Lia That's so poorly drawn that just pisses me. Vandals are bad enough, but vandals who can't draw is a whole new level of bad.

	Lia An empty pack of cigarettes? Man that must've hurt like stinking hell... sheer luck was not passing out right there. I cut a finger once, sliced to the bone, and the thing bled so much I got dizzy and went straight down. Well, luck or I'm just that big a sissy =P

	Lia Yeah, Silent Hill was first thought on my mind ;-) "The Darkness is coming..." It's amazing how you can almost "smell" the room ...
