I saw a picture of Coffeejo on the other thread. She has no head, how does she take pictures?

not sure this one is up to standard, but it includes spring bulbs and my bike... only today was meant to be torrential rain and I left the good camera at home, so taken on the phone and it really has not done those daffs any justice at all... may have to try again on Friday when I have cleaned the bike

I used to work in mental handicap hospitals years ago, nd there were people admitted in the early 1900s with the diagnosis of 'cretin' (which if you look it up was a real diagnosis, with particular physical and cognitive traits). There were also people with diagnosis (with somewhat less of a basis than cretinism) of 'feeble-minded' and 'imbecile'.

But this is a photography thread.

I didn't know that. The relationship between the language of mental health and contemporary slang would make for an interesting if depressing essay/thesis. Given my own difficulties, I admit I cringe every time I use the
