A good reminder that people ages ago were not ignorant. They were much more observant than we are today but they just did not have the technical means to test ideas. They understood how things worked even if they didn't understand the why.

People from "ages ago" weren't stupid. However they were ignorant of so much that we now know that it's amazing. I once had a patient say "these old remedies have been used for hundreds of years so they must have worth." when defending some ridiculous superstitious cure. I pointed out that hundreds of years ago the average life expectancy was around 30. They didn't consider this, they just got angry. Secondly, notice how many of these aren't actually proven correct by science. They just boil down to 'if your really invested in this ludicrous idea then following it may lessen your anxiety or stress. That's far from saying trixidecaphobia means Friday the 13th is statistically more dangerous or that throwing salt over your shoulder, crossing your fingers, or knocking on wood has any affect on the real world other than in your perceptions. Walking under a ladder, OTOH, I understand.

The phases of the moon do not change the gravitational pull on the tide. The Moon is always the same size, regardless of how much light is shining on it. Therefore, it would have the same effect on the earth whether a full moon or just a sliver.

Dreaming of my teeth falling out used to happen to me a LOT in my 30's, when I was pursuing my career. After I quit working and took on a much more relaxed lifestyle, those dreams stopped. It's horrifying to dream about spitting out your teeth into your hand, and will wake you up in a cold sweat, unable to go back to sleep. So yes, I associate dreaming of losing teeth with extreme stress in reality. Also, on the rare occasion I now have that dream, it is during stress.

It was absolutely hilarious cause she full pelt ran at it. The door was so clean she didn’t realise. She left a line of dribble or snot behind in the door. So so funny.

Well, my friend and I were sitting in the living room when his older sister came into the house. Suddenly, we heard the scampering of claws on linoleum as the cat came scampering out of the kitchen in a white blur, racing like there was no tomorrow through the dining room, through the living room...and right into the sliding glass door with a resounding WHAM! Apparently, the cat had heard the sliding door open but not close again. Fun times!

Hi Mike! I once had a severe case of hiccups that made it almost impossible to talk, eat, sleep or sleep. After several days, and trying every home remedy imaginable, I called my doctor. He said he would call in a prescription for me, and when I picked it up I saw it was for Thorazine, a powerful anti psychotic! I asked the pharmacist if there was a mistake, and he said no, that it is sometimes used for that. Anyway, I went home, took one and in half an hour the hiccups were gone. For some reason, the prescription was for 60 tablets, that left me with 59 tabs which I kept just in case the hiccups ever got out of hand again, or I encountered a schizophrenic in need of meds.😅

About the wheat and barley test it also tell the gender of the baby too depending on the wheat or barley,my aunt died in the afternoon because a dog howled across from the mental health center where I was and a few days later I learned of her death she died that day,😢 I cringe when I hear a dog howl in the afternoon now. This was in the early 2000’s when she died she was my mom’s baby sister.

How's this for luck..? On a scavenger hunt in Jr. Highschool, I not only found a 4 leaf clover... No one else did... But before I turned the list in... I lost it. So I went back to the same clover patch... AND FOUND A SECOND ONE!.. and then lost that one!

Absolutely NOT. 😡 DST when it starts and stops is a much needed reminder to do important things nobody remembers to do otherwise. MOST people check their smoke and CO detectors, change batteries in detectors and emergency flashlights etc, check expiration dates and replenish emergency kits, change furnace filters, and more. The clocks in vehicles lose time, and generally require being changed by 1 hour and 1-5 minutes at each changeover. Remove these reminders and such things will be neglected even more. If you aren't using DST like this, you're the problem. Remember, the shorter days during standard time won't feel any longer if DST stays year-round, and there are actually psychological benefits to the already longer days being lined up better during the DST switch.

9:00 I must be extremely lucky then because I find it rather easy to find four leaf clovers. I once sat outside with my nephew and found 15 before we went back inside. My current home doesn't have any four leaf clover producing patches, but if I ride a bike down by the river, I can spot one in a patch as I go by pretty regularly. The thing is that not all clover patches can produce the four leaf mutations, and people often focus too hard when looking. It's more about looking for something that looks odd within a relatively uniform patch rather than looking at individual clovers. I used to collect four leaf clovers for a family friend and dry them before sending them to her so she could make cards with them.

Hiccoughs (hiccups): I tried sugar once but inhaled some during a hic. Standard medical try was to have the sufferer breath in and out in a paper bag to increase the carbon dioxide. Knock on wood: If you believe it helps, it probably will (placebo effect). Fish leaping: In the book Kon Tiki about a raft expedition across the Pacific, it mentions a flying fish nearly landing in a hot skillet in someone's hand! Walking into glass:: All the time--usually WITH a glass in my hand.

I agree with you about DST, when the sun is highest in the sky it's mid day, which means 12:00, i even leave all my clocks at GMT without the dst offset selected. Cure for hiccups ? just hold your breath, hold it long enough and they will be gone :D Actually, i do hold my breath, but do it so it's like you're trying to constantly breathe in (mouth open), works most of the time.

"Feeling pressure changes" before rain or a storm, is 100% fact ! My wife has chronic migraines and always feels fronts approaching or changing barometric pressure. After back surgery, I now feel it as well. Most people with these and other afflictions do as well. This changed my opinion completely.

I've had arthritis for decades. A local Kansas City meteorologist issues something called "Aches and Pains Alerts" based on barometric changes. I've been known to predict rain weather because of sensations I feel in my hips and knees. My wife tested me for several months to see if my knees coincided with the weather man. 100% accuracy.
