Entry 2946
Well, the way to stop it - the easy way to stop it would be to go to somebody house, not your house, get a straw out of the broom, a broomstraw. (One straw?) One straw, but you break it and you cross it and you wear that in your hair - like that [demonstrates].
(Like a cross in your head?)
A cross in your head, yes sir, about 21 days and you can stop it. But if you let it get too far, you can't stop it. But [if] you go to somebody right away and you find out what's your trouble, you can stop it.
