Title: Mexican Worry Dolls
Post by: squeaker99 on January 06, 2020, 08:05:31 PM: The Ultimate Alternative Therapy at the last chance Meno Saloon.

I succumbed. I have bought some. From Oxfam (so they're like 100% genuine mexican). For Â£4:95. They are under my pillow, the little fellas. In a bag. Like little wicker men wearing stripy jammies.

Tonight I will whisper my (many) aliments and anxieties into their little ears. ' Make it stop little fellas' ' Take me back to my carefree 30 something self'

I will report back ladies.

I used to bang my head on my pillow as many times as I required to get up the next morning and it worked! Probably because my background brain was holding on to the time I needed to get out of bed?

Some dolls are made to put pins into, as many as for the number of people that have upset the owner .

Not very 'light and love' ... but, sometimes needs must, I guess. :o
