Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I wasn't sure where to put this. I chose here since the forum hasn't been used for a couple weeks. I also thought superstitions usually have soemthing to do with loss, so why not? Today is Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious? Let's share some of the superstitions we've learned through the years. Break a mirror - seven years bad luck. Black cat crosses your path - bad luck. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

But I do say "bread and butter" if me and someone else go around a pole at the same time, on opposite sides. Doesn't everybody? Oh and I touch a button and the ceiling if I'm riding in a car and hear an ambulance.... And of course I'll back up forty miles if necessary to keep from going over the path of a black cat in front of my car. What? Me? Superstitious? Get real! No way!

Don't walk under a ladder. (Of course not, who wants a bucket of paint falling on a head?) _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	I'm not superstitious, but here are a few sayings I've heard over the years. Don't walk under a ladder....brings bad luck. Never open an umbrella in the house, it was said to be bad luck. Keep your fingers crossed when you tell a fib, so you wouldn't get in trouble.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Oh that last one Cookie, it's a good idea to make sure you don't have sisters who will testify AGAINST you even when you have your fingers crossed.

Wisdom&Life Member Registered: 12/14/04 Posts: 724 Loc: Chesapeake, VA	Oh no, I grew up with all kinds of superstitions. Greeks are full of them, LOL. Never sweep the house after your husband leaves. Never allow others to see your baby in public, they will give the baby the evil eye. Do not whistle in the house, it brings bad luck. There's more, I just don't remember them, LOLOLOLOL! Fortunately, I tried to bring some common sense into all that I heard, LOL. However, with so much going wrong, I decided to leave my parent's yesterday instead of today, LOL. I just couldn't bring myself to travel on Friday the 13th. Cheers, Cathi

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Here are some real oldies: BAD LUCK: To milk a cow being sent to market... To see an owl in sunlight... Changing a horses name... GOOD LUCK: When a frog enters your home... A spider spinning in the morning... Carrying an acorn ensure long life... GENERAL LUCK: Itchy-nose means a quarrel is coming... Tying a knot in a hanky wards off evil...

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Don't forget an itchy palm means money is coming to you. And an itchy foot means you'll be traveling over new territory. And an itchy nose also means someone is coming with a hole in their britches. Hey, I don't make them up...I just recite them. Mom use to play this game with us call My Nose Itches. It went like this: My Nose itches Somebody coming with a hole in their britches The first one that speaks has to patch it. This would keep all five of us quiet for a long, long time. We were very competitive. Mom was wise with five little girls at home. JJ _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Jane_Carroll member Registered: 07/06/06 Posts: 1521 Loc: Alabama	Chatty, We always said an itchy nose meant company was coming. Itchy palm means money is coming (I just can't remember which palm!) I traveled to see my granddaughter today...definitely worth the risk, even after the black cat ran in front of my car 2 days ago...twice and then sat in my drive way when I was leaving yesterday!! _________________________ Jane Carroll
