Personal Effects

they have almost identical ones in kings park!

Man, where can I get one of those for my closet? Change the wording a little, make the shelves bigger, and it would be perfect!

Where's one for straight jackets?

hmmm check the bottem shelf....

What's that near the word "blouse?"

Ok funney where are my bras :>O

That is so cute.....

They did something very much like that in the younger girls' department at the state school for the blind when I was there. We were three or four girls to one large room. We each had a desk, chair, twin bed and a chest of drawrs oh and a closet.

On each drawr in the chest of drawrs there was, on the out side of each drawr, masking tape with the name of that drawr's contense. So you'd have one that said "Toiletries" and one that said "Socks and undergarmets" and one for pants or shorts or whatever.

Now, you might be asking yourself, if this was in a school for blind children, why the print? This was, I'm guessing, for the bennifit of the overnight staff who had to help some of us get ready in the morning... And for any dorm staff, if they had to find something for us. Either they changed things or when you got to be an older girl I don't remmber but I do know that the older girls, teens, ect. didn't have this, only the little kids.

game... blouses...

my mom got one of those from an old pyschiatric hospital from around where i live when i was a teenager and put it in our room for drawers for our clothese it was real creepy looking and it still had the sticker labels on it labelling the 'nighties' bedsheets ,shirts etc

@bonnie-I like your mom's idea of recycling the old drawers! At least it had an interesting history. As a kid, I remember my dad telling me of a guy who bought an old funeral hearse and used it as a station wagon for his kids to sit in the back! Talk about re-purpose! He even kept the curtains in the back-how macabre!

Behavioral modification is not for the weak and weary, more of the same.
