SUPERSTITIONS

Started by: mollie m (8951) 

For many people, these are real and they believe in them as warnings of bad luck. These are, in fact, illogical feelings based on nothing but old wives’ tales and fear.

However, this afternoon a black cat ran out in front of my car and I thought IT was the lucky one as it didn’t get hit but, tonight coming out of Tesco, with more shopping than I would normally do, I slipped on the step coming out, landing on my backside, shaken, but otherwise unhurt, and I thought about that pesky black cat.

A lovely lady whom I’ve never seen before came and helped me up, and carried my bags to my car for me - a black lady.

Strangely enough though, in my lifetime I’ve had five black cats, six including the one who lives with me now, so I still don’t believe in superstition.

How about you.

I've had several black cars. I've got three at my house now. And a black motorbike.
AND ..... a black fingernail !

Its a load of Boloney Mollie, I walk under ladders, put my boots on the table and kick at black cats or any cats but, They are too quick to be kicked, I'm glad about that because, I don't want to hurt one but, let them know to, keep their distance from me, They are the pets of the Devil and they kill birds,

This isn't about cats, it's about superstitions.

I started a topic about superstitions, and black cats are one of the things that people are superstitious about. There are other things.

NO. I'm not calling you the Devil Mollie, He has charmed you into looking after his little apostles, You are a victim try his,
Stand in front of your cat with a cross in hand and say,

" get thee behind me Satan"

"didn't someone on here throw a cat in a bin, or have i dreamt that?"

You vindictive verminous vile little weasel. You are the one on here who is evil and cruel. I don’t know why you have a grudge against me because to my knowledge I’ve never before been nasty to you. Is it just because I didn’t answer a personal question that had nothing to do with you? There is seriously something mentally wrong with you, which most of us on here are aware of but, just to clear this up for others who don’t know what happened.

My 16 year old cat had died and I had no way to give him a nice burial because I had no room in my garden, so the weasel dredges up ancient history to try to make me appear to be a bad person. I was absolutely devastated so I had no other choice but to put him in a carrier bag and place him in my bin with some flowers. I cried for days about having to do that because I loved him very much, and that was 15 years ago. You didn’t mention that, did you!

You are filth and should be shown for the contemptuous, disgusting person you are, and you wonder why people dislike you so much on here. Even your poems come from a disturbed mind, Jarvo. You are not fit to be part of this community with nice people, but I’d like to thank you for highlighting just how disturbed you are. This is the kind of person he is, folks. You make up your own minds.

Mollie I looked up some superstitions which I had forgotten about
Broken mirror 7 years bad luck
Spilling salt must throw some over your left shoulder
Standing on cracks
Tapping on wood
Finding a penny
Crossing your fingers
Itchy palms
These are just some things which most people do but now never think about any myths tied into them

I'm totally lost for words after reading that.

It wouldn't have taken much space to cut a 12 inch square hole no matter how small your garden is, to give it a decent resting place.
