another awesome pic

I agree.

awesome pic

How profoundly sad!

How did you get that shot? Does it open from both ends or did you somehow crawl in there?

What exactly is an autoclave? *pulls out dictionary* Oh, a "sterilizer using super heated steam under pressure." Interesting.

That is just shameful.

That design on the floor makes me think of the Pittsburgh Steelers logo.

excellent shot!!

I should add when Jeremy was born, my twins were 5 years old and my oldest was 7, so it was a little crazy keeping up with 4 small children. I managed though, and wouldn't trade the experiences for the world.

Even when a child is loved and at home it is difficult to care for them, especially if there are siblings. My youngest son (of 4 kids) was born deaf and the strain of making sure he couldn't unlock a door and get out and run into the street, or play with the stove, etc was nerve racking for the other 5 of us as we couldn't yell at him when danger threatened. My other kids told me after they grew up they always thought Jeremy was my favorite because he got so much attention! True, deafness is not the same as retardation, but surely the same principles apply. There were times I was so exhausted all I could do was cry. When he was about 7 he finally understood running into the road could get him killed by a car, that all dogs were not friendly, that people were going to point and stare at him when he vocalized, etc. He's 21 now and works and is a joy in my life, but it was hard when he was a little boy.

My mom taught ESL (English as a Second Language) in the '70s in Calif. I remember her using those machines to teach the little Korean and Vietnamese children words.

If my office were that color, I'd come back after hours and paint it!
