Do you have any superstitions?
Ladders,black cats,friday the 13th none of that bothers me. But I've been known to knock on wood,I try not to jinx my favorite team,and I'll buy a lottery ticket if I'm feeling lucky.

1. Can't say that I do
I don't have any faith in the supernatural at all.

2. Well, they say peeing on an electric fence is bad luck...
So I don't do that.

I will walk over sidewalk cracks and maybe everybody staring at me think I'm a raving nutter... :evilgrin:

4. I won't step on a crack while spilling salt under a ladder on Friday....
...the 13th while a black cat is crossing my path.


Does that count?

5. Of course not, but....
I never walk under ladders, I never give someone a gift of a purse or a knife without adding a penny. It's just common sense. :shrug:

7. Knock on wood. Toss salt over my shoulder if I spill any
Most of the oddness is among the women in my
family. We have this odd thing that if you
feel procrastination, go with it until it passes.
It has never failed us. Also, we have a knack
for knowing from a glance what kind of person
even total strangers are. Odd talent I suppose.

My mother saw her mother after she died and my
dad say my mom's brother this summer when he
was low. Said Uncle John told him he was loved
and not to dispair. :)
