Before slicing a new loaf of bread, make the sign of the cross on it.

It's good luck to find a four-leaf clover

Don't step on a crack on a sidewalk or walkway.

I'd never heard of the first two. Interesting!

The old, it's bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.

Never walk under a ladder.

And that's all I can think of before coffee.

I've never heard any of those except for the last 2 Susie Put.

If you spill some salt your supposed to thow a pinch over your shoulder.

If you're ...uh...under the same circumstances...you can't go near a stud horse neither. He'll rear and buck and you can't control him. This I know as fact.


And if you split open a persimmon seed, if it has a fork shape in the middle, it'll be a mild winter; if it's a spoon shape it'll be a harsh winter.

Oh, and if you're me, your furnace will mess up in the middle of a spoon-shaped persimmon seed winter.

I wonder why sometimes when you edit a post it shows that "last edited" thing, and other times it doesn't.
