Chuck, my dear, you haven't met the owner of said dolls! 
She is a 6 year old karate chopping, non-stop talking, ADHDer. She dressed up like a Goth princess for Halloween because "being evil is more fun than being cute". The poor dog looks a little fearful when she is around. I don't think the dolls are what I need to worry about!!

Fires, humm, in this area it's volunteer. When, in the old days, the alarm would howl, you just went, even the teens. Most times it was just the grass fire thing, but every once in a while the hay in a barn didn't get stored right. Was in the middle of one and my freind just disappeared before my eyes. I looked down and he was hanging on by his elbows, the fire under us had burned the support. I have no idea where the strength came from, but he was out of that hole and on his feet in a flash. Humm, yeah young and stupid, we got out of there pretty fast. Grabbed a hose and just watched it burn. Got the cows out though 
I just have no idea where that kind of thing comes from, common sense tells you, don't get involved. It's dangerous, but time after time I'm in the middle of it. Great when you get the job down, rips you apart when it didn't get it done the way you hoped. I just fail to understand why I do that to myself. Lol, well maybe I do a little better now and maybe I can stop beating myself up for the times it didn't work. Sorry about the downer, but i got work to do and I need to get it out. And this is the great part, I'm not alone anymore, yous guys is there. Geeze I'm getting closer that huggie thing, gads!! Get under the tables, incomeing hugs, run run fast.

I understand about the smoke from the wildfires, all that concentrated energy of smoke and people and uncertainty can aggravate every sensor we have. The feeling of being unsafe and even frightened at the persistence of the danger, highlighted by the newness of the uncertainty and the never ending smoke. . .
hope you are hanging in there, Harz o' Space. anything that disturbs my sense of inner balance
causes me to think somehow a decision must be made or some how I can master it and compartmentalize it or overcome the feeling but nothing can stop the smell of smoke that permeates your consciousness, constantly communicating to all your sensors that this is no bad dream, this is real.
Cultivating "grace under fire" is an honorable thing, I think. Cultivating nobleness of purpose while living in adversity tends to strengthen one eventually. Smoke is a b***h to get out of the curtains, your hair, and it is useless to launder it all as long as the all pervasive haze is still happening. Being alert to the radio and keeping track of where the wild fires are, geographically from you is a good idea, so if you are to be evacuated (which means grab that cat and the picture of dear old granddad and get out) it's best to be early alerted so you can make plans. I lived through a few forest fires, out here on the Left coast of North America.

Thanks, Merle. I was trying not to panic, but went into complete meltdown, one day when the smoke was really bad. My daughter was on the phone with me, and didn't make matters any better, (although she meant well) by urging me to get the hell out of there! And you described it perfectly, about my sense of inner balance, and the constant onslaught against the senses. I have no idea where I would go, in case of evacuation, and would have to rely upon the authorities to tell me where to go and what to do. At least that bit of rain has cleared the air enough for me to take another walk. I hated being bedridden!

l gave the Weatherman a good talking to, but it did no good. Ah, dolls. I used to be terrified of them when I was small, too. I used to scream and throw them across the room, saying that they were "cold and hard." Later, I became fascinated with them, and for awhile, I made and sold cloth dolls. I also owned one of those "Charmin' Chatty" dolls, but she wasn't allowed on the bed. She got flung into a closet at night.I remember that doll. I didn't have one but I heard of them. My little girl has the new Baby Alive. She talks, eats, drinks, burps and all that. I make sure the batteries are off at night. I used to take the batteries right out but it is too much like work. And she hasn't come on by herself! My boys had a toy ambulance with a bunch of sirens when I was a single mom. That thing would come on all by itself for no apparent reason and it scared the s**t out of me every time. It turned out that the batteries were low so it was malfunctioning.
I wish I could send you some rain! It has been raining here all day. It is so dry in the ground that the rain is soaking in fast. I thought Florida got quite a bit of rain. ?
I've only lived in Florida for about three years, but we used to get a distinctly wet and dry season, as far as I know. This drought has thrown everything off kilter. I think that I read somewhere that the rainy season is supposed to be right now.
