superstitions

“i think its time to livin things up a bit!


we were at the family cemetary this past weekend with my mother-in-law.
my son sneezed and my in law said he should pull his left ear.
i had never heard of this so i asked her what did that mean.
she said that when your in a graveyard and you sneez you should pull your left ear its good luck.

well that got me to thinking
what are some superstitions that you have heard of growing up?

i liked the one my father told me (scared that crap out of me)
never hit your parent because when you die your hand will grow above your grave. so when i was young i would walk through the graveyards thinking i would trip over a hand hehehe”

“My boss is a total freak! He knows all of those superstitions and even makes up his own.

We were parked on a one way street one time and a black cat crossed in front of him. He was going to back out to the end of the block rather than cross paths but a cop pulled into the end of the street. It was so funny to watch him agonize over which way held the greatest danger.”

“HPM's mom's family has a weird one. If an owl hoots while on your property someone will die soon. I always thought owls were good luck myself.”

“That's the book, "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" by Margaret Craven.”

“Geo-don't suppose that story took place in the south? They're from S. Carolina.”

“My boss won't let anyone kill a spider in the office. He thinks big flys are dead relatives spying on him!”

“This is similat to Treebait's, if a raven lands on your roof something bad will befall a member in it.

Also, NEVER pick up a coin if the tails side is up . . . never!”

“if you spill salt then throw some over your shoulder”

“Mine is: If you see an old person driving a car in front of you and they have a handicapped tag hanging down from their rearview mirror, don't drive behind them.”

“My Mom and Dad used to say that if someone dropped a piece of silverware that we'd have company... I think if it was a knife it was a man, fork woman... never found out what a spoon meant”

“if your ear is rining then someone is talking about you!


no im not paranoid”

“If your ear/s are hot...someone's talking about you.

In the morning, don't talk about someone...that someone's bound to drop in on you...in the evening don't talk about the devil...hence the phrase, "Speak of the devil".”

“I'm lucky

“if the first bird you see in a robin
then you will have good luck all day”

“if it rains on your wedding day then good luck will follow you all your lives togethr.



bull#&%!$ it rained on my first wedding and that didnt last a year...”

“Ouch!

My wedding day was beautiful (good thing too because the reception was outside).”

“Mine was hotter than you know where! And the AC was broken at the reception and there was none at the church...what does that say?

If a baby cries at your wedding you'll have lots of kids.”

“A lot of asians are buying property in my town and they are very uncomfortable with the number 26. One woman wanted her address changed because it was 2626. (I work for the City and deal with addresses and such) I asked her what it meant and she said "to die, to die". When I told other people about it the laughed it off like a silly superstition until I pointed out that we have a 12th Street and a 14th Street in our town but no 13th Street.”

“PepperDog...I always thought it was the number 4...which sounds like death, or to die in Chinese. Maybe the asians you're talking about are not Chinese?”

“That's because you're a potty-mouth trollop (j/k). I thought you were backpacking this weekend. What happened? You didn't leave Geobeet to expire on the trail, did you?”

“silly superstitions...........”

“I'm not responsible for my actions...”

“If you think something bad will happen it will. I acually think this one is true. I will be thinking to myself when I'm cutting something with a knife that doesn't look safe. Sure enough I will cut myself every time if i think it.”
