He told me about the dulcimer and played the music he'd written for it. It was beautiful and I bought his homemade CD. He also told me about the aliens who had abducted him once and about the "hybrid" people who are more and more evident in the city. He was sweet and crazy and I liked him.Christine (CA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786416112275691298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792349136622990269.post-54899819968531948372009-11-10T09:06:27.876-05:002009-11-10T09:06:27.876-05:00That would be "diagnosed," and "sch...That would be "diagnosed," and "schizophrenics."

Great photo. <br /><br /> I worked at a sheltered workshop for the disabled for a number of years, when I was young--doing grant writing, and administering those grants when we won them. <br /><br />I had no background in working with that population, and I was concerned that I would be depressed, but far from it--I fell in love with those folks. <br /><br />I do remember, however, that that was the one time I experienced the physical embodiment of the expression "tearing one's hair out," and I will never forget hearing the sound that that particular activity makes. One of the disgnosed schyzophrenics, who was normally quite calm and very bright, went off his meds, and yanked a huge clump of hair out of his head and scared me to death.suehttp://www.abrushwithcolor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
