Belle, Your Mother was lucky to have a cousin close enough that you could go to this person for advice. I have heard of stories like this..but have never had contact with a person like that. I have seen people on TV like this..but I guess I always have my doubts in what they have to say. I would love to meet someone like this..I guess, mainly out of curiosity. One time my s-i-l & I went to a local carnival together. There was a fortune teller there & we decided to get our fortunes told. IMHO, I felt as though many things she said could have applied to me..but they also could have applied to many other people. My s-i-l was positive that everything that the woman told her was the truth!! I told my husband about both of our fortunes afterwards & he just laughed at it. Several years later, my s-i-l, Ginger bought a weegee(sp) board & got very engrossed in using it. It got so that was all that she did..almost all day long, she was on that board. No matter what the board told her, she felt it was the truth. Finally her husband took it away from her, b/c it had become almost like a compulsion with her. ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: "Belle Shepherd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 11:08 PM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Wise woman.. > Back in the early 30's my Mother took me with her to visit a > Westmoreland cousin in Demorest, Ga.

A friend of mine brought a ouija board to our house when I was in the 12th grade. My dad had a fit, forbade me to ever touch one again, so that was the end of that.
