Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Oh, , I'm so sorry. I think I'll pay that doc a visit myself, just in spirit, mind you. Can you send me a description of his physical appearance? I am adept at making paper dolls that look like the silhouette of the person, and then I "pin" 'em to the wall. Seems to work well without doing any permanent harm to them, and makes them sit up and take notice. LOL Just a thought. Let me know if you want me to follow through. Meanwhile, I send positive energy and thoughts your way. Loving hugs, MM ((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
