Lost in Lost 1 year ago

Again I praise netlfix for this one. I cannot imagine watching Lost week to week. I would probably go nuts. It is so nice to watch each episode back to back without waiting. Being able to rewind to catch something you missed. Can’t wait to season 3.

visit an abandoned asylum

Very eeerie. 1 year ago

I grew up in Peoria, Il. A few miles away were the ruins of the old State Mental Hospital. As teens it was deserted and we used to go out there and look around. Then I found out my Grandmother had been there and died there. It’s really sad to walk around and try to feel what those poor people felt…most not even being diagnosed like people are now. My grandmother was there because she tried to kill herself by drinking bleach because her husband beat her regularly. For this, she was the one sentenced to this place…

Later, I did some research on the state hospital and others like it in Illinois. It was very interesting and worth learning about the history and transformation of the mental heath industy along with the decline of it.

go to Scotland

Worth doing! 1 year ago

My son, then 13, flew into London and took the train to Edenburg for 3 days. It was awesome and exilerating. Did alot of walking on our own and enjoyed talking to people. We then went back, by train, to London for 2 days which was soooo hectic and hard to enjoy after going to North. But we then flew over to Limmerick, Ireland and again, felt at home, we did the bed and breakfast thing all 5 days someplace different…with a rental car, we drove where we chose and stopped and when we wanted to. I can’t imagine taking a tour and missing the real local flavors.

My nephew has been traveling the world these last 13 years and Scotland was one place he stayed for 4 months (a long time to him). He stayed at hostels and totally engulfs himself in the local lifestyles. He loves it.
