Just try not to get hooked. Those kidney beans will make an addict (we call 'em beanies) out of ya quick. Don't get caught in the seedy underworld of kidney bean parties. Get it? Seedy?
Hello? (tap tap tap) Is this thing on?

Jason, your too funny for words.

Katie, never fear, I'll send you a kidney bean sleepy time kit.

Jason, I will try my best to avoid the seedy kidney bean underworld. I hear those kidney bean parties are a gas though. Heh.

i wonder if the magic of the bean works on carpal tunnel?

I wonder if the magic of the bean will grow a gigantic beanstalk to a scary giants lair in the sky and allow me to steal all of his gold.

I don't know about the beans and carpal tunnel, but I bet my mother-in-law knows something equally odd to fix it. I'll look into it for you.

As for the beanstalk, I'm guessing the beans probably won't come through for that either. But again, I can certainly look into it.

OK - My mother just told me about the magic of the kidney bean so I have tried this 3 nights in a row and slept like a baby - BUT - I have had the wierdest dreams (almost like the beanstalk ones. . . I am curious just what in the bean makes you sleep so well. I have looked on line and only see the toxic quality of a raw bean ingested. . . . any solid answers?

skeptic - I think it has something to do with pressure points. I'm not sure...ancient chinese secret maybe? All I know is it seems to work pretty well.

That sounds like a logical explanation. My 13 year old son thinks if you just put the pail of beans by the bed it would work too - he sounds like Jason!

This is my first time posting on one these things. I'm typing with a kidney bean taped to my wrist and it's not doing the trick, hence why I'm online at 1:30am trying to figure out if I taped it over to the right or left too much. Any suggestions? Is it supposed to be taped right above the finger after you measure 3 finger widths or right below where the third finger is? Do you measure with your wrist flat or with your hand raised folding owards your arm? If it's not obvious, I'm desparate for some sort of natural remedy
Thanks.
