Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

I don't know if I'm superstitous (did I spell that right)

But I believe in Karma in a big way. So, I believe that if I find someone's wallet or cell phone, it will only bring me bad luck if I keep it and not give it back.

The only thing I am actually superstitous about is baby showers. I do not believe in bringing anything into the house for the baby until it is born

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

Some of these are really interesting, I have never heard of them.

The only one I will follow is that he can't see me in my dress before I walk down the aisle.

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

no looking at my dress..I won't even talk about it, I put it in like a little corner of my mind so I won't be tempted..I have a BIG mouth!

no walking under ladders
pass a cemetary and try to hold my breath

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

i'm not really superstitious....like the whole not seeing fh the night before the wedding i'm doing more for tradition than actually being superstitious.

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

For the wedding....just the not seeing me in the dress before church thing

In general...I ALWAYS knock on wood after I say certain things......

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

- Make sure a pair of shoes is placed properly (not upside down)
- No handbags on the floor or you'll loose money
- Never hand over a knife or scissor - always place it down and have them pick it up.
- Do not cross the path of a full black cat.
- If a bad dream is REAAALLY bad - then go to the bathroom, say it out loud and flush the toilet! <-- hahah - I don't know where this came from but apparently it's what everyone in my family does.

Re: In the spirit of Friday the 13th..

I dont beleive in them but my sis throws salt over her shoulder when it spills, I find that silly.

If my mom says pass the salt, I cant give it to them in their hands, I have to put it down then they pick it up from the table but not from my hands, bec that signifies a fight will start , same goes for scissors, cant be given from hand to hand has to be put down in order to pick it up, I find them sooo silly. I think its a greek thing
