It's the Little things in Life that has a little bit more meaning than just the normal everyday things...Some seriously terrify me or just make me laugh.

I am Petrified of the 3 6's together....they came upin a row one time when playing solitare and I got a bad vibe something bad was going to happen....dad went to hospital next day for last time. Ever since then I get bad vibes even seeing them together.

My Left Palm Itches.....LOL I scratch it on a wooden post cause it means $$$ in future....Your Nose itches...Someone wants to kiss ya. Silly things like that LOL...Anyone else superstitious?

I'm not very supersticious, but I do have my quirks hehe. Never go under ladders, bit extra careful on Friday the 13th and I -never- pick up a coin if it's tails up!

I grew up with a reeally black cat and huge eyes, so cats were never really a problem for me hehe. What I can't stand to be around are spiders *shudder* Not very masculine but yeah :-)

Oh I have seen so many movies about spiders..Aracnophobia was enough to make me ICK when I see one...and I am terrified of Bees or Wasps..thanks to experience and of course movies!

Movies sure to help to highten the superstion and fears with horror flicks...Anaconda...YIKES!!!!!!!!!!

If I want something bad enough, I think there is a particular ancestor who has given it to me. He/she has actually given me gifts of things I think of for weeks. Things I can't buy or get. Think I'm crazy?

It has happened three or four times. They were once in a lifetime chances to have something, and I got it. The ancestor has brought me to places I usually don't go and I find it. Like, one time I had some hours to kill. I wanted a picture of Katari Tekawitha or a statue of her. I was really thinking hard of her all day for some odd reason, I usually don't think of something like that. I have too much going on!

I went downtown, and into the Catholic store where I haven't been in a few years. They were just taking a picture of her out of the box when I walked in! I thought, okay, that's a coincedence. :confused: One picture of her and no others in the store. The picture was beautiful. They told me that today was her birthday. :eek: I honestly didn't even know that.

Okay...I am weird. I am telling you, I have had weirder things happen to me. I am not overly superticious either.

I read in a Reader's Digest about a couple who refused to take their assigned seats in the 13th row of an airplane. The ticket agent was very polite and reassigned them to the 14th row instead... then as they were leaving the counter, said to them:

"Just between you and me, if Row 13 goes down, Row 14 is probably going to follow."

:D :D :D

I just don't put down my keys on tables because I always end up losing them :-D I have a little hook right next to my door. I've lost 3 or 4 sets of keys since last November. ack! Maybe it's just bad luck for me :-D

Not really but then beginning to wonder since this last Friday the 13th we had a couple things happen. Now I can't remember what the heck they were. I know one of them was my friend's son's car broke down. Oh yea, now after checking an email I remember an order that I had sent away for got all messed up. Little things really.

Our old assistant manager at the bookstore said that things always go bad when "Mercury's in retrograde". She checked the planet's movements regularly. Strangely enough, whenever a few days had gone by with a series of unfortunate events (no relation to Lemony Snicket) we double checked with her... and it was!!!

2)the software was sent anyway and customer complained

Hmmm then where are you supposed to put da keydoots?

Personally, now, I don't really believe in anything "superstitious", but I do know that things happen for a reason.

Hasn't it been a documented fact that strange things happen when it is a full moon? I saw something about California Police and crime on TV and they talked about the crime rate going up on a full moon.
