Perfect! Yes, that's the word!

Lynne, totally agree with you...absolutely beautiful! I love the shadows on the wall as compared to the lights themselves!

This building is beautiful! I like the green roof over the door as compared to the red clay tiles!

That was too funny, Lynne! LoL! :0)

Oh, geeze guys! LoL! You make my day! I tHiNk I sEe ThE fAcE!

Ok...I know what it does now!

I love the blue cast the lighting gives...it's rather beautiful!

What is that used for, Lynnie?

We can call them..."Ho-Hum" faces!

No it wouldn't...you pull the string and then the soap comes out! ;0)

Yippee! Mosquito..

They wouldn't put a suicidal patient behind mesh...just think of the damage they could do to themselves then...

Oh, damnedable squirrels! LoL! Overly friendly, I tell you!

Oh goodness, yes! We talked about that in my Intro to Social Work and Social Welfare class today. It is really sad.

Standing next to soap dispensers, right, Lynne?!?! ;0)

I don't know how some people don't know about the Rosenhan study! I spent long hours talking to my Psych prof. about it and about Dr. Elizabeth Loftus' studies. It's really important to look at events without any preconception and enter a situation without a preconceived bias. I was talking to my advisor and my Social Work professors about the importance of this and I already know that there may be times when I'll feel a certain bias, such as, in child abuse cases. But the thing is I know that and I can detach myself from what I may think/feel it to be because it's an entirely different situation...in fact, you have to look at everything like that! You can never assume! That's what does the most damage to the person you're trying to help, and I can't believe how many "advocates" out there aren't able to pull off this seperation. I'm sure it may be hard, but you really have to make a conscious effort to do so. If you don't you're not really an advocate.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know about Rosenhan's experiment you can visit this site and read up on the primary study.

Lynne, one of your points brings to mind the secondary study of Rosenhan's experiment...staff of a teaching and research hospital, which was aware of the first study, was falsely informed that during the next three months one or more pseudo patients would attempt to be admitted into their hospital. Of course, they identified some people as being Rosenhan's pseudo patients...the thing is, Rosenhan didn't send ANY pseudo patients!

Ergo, if you're looking for something you're going to find it whether or not it's really there. That's when you have to be careful. When working in the advocacy career you have to be sure you have the ability to distinguish the facts as to how what you perceive those facts to mean. It becomes very dangerous if you aren't able to do that.

Thank you, Lyric! You carried and supported your points very well and I don't think you could flame anyone with them! Thanks again! :0)

Yeah...we were going to fix the hole she made from banging her head there with a drywall patch, but that obviously wouldn't work out....So we decided to fill it in with a durable rubbery substance, so there would be less need for the helmet and so we can preserve those EVER SO USEFUL brain cells of hers! ;0)

Those tiles are absolutely GORGEOUS! Thanks for the link, Lynne! :0)

No prob, silkster! :0)

LoL! That's what I thought at first too, Barbara! And those were GREAT finds...or...umm...thieven things...LoL! :0)

They look like fuses to me...but I'm not an expert. I'd still say, "yes" for now.

Darned aliens...I thought I told them to stick to anal probing...

;0)

Lynne, will you share the Captains with me? Please? I know you probably need it more...but I had a rough day. :'0\
