Is it a Tale?
by nowmercy
I grew up surrounded by “old wives tales”. For example, if you swim after eating you will drown, stretch marks can open and you will bleed to death, you die for the moment you sneeze, and so on. Now I know they come from some kind of wisdom, but they did stick with me. What about you all? What old tales still come to you? Are you passing any on? What are the most absurd? What make the most sense? And while we are at it, how about superstitions? (I can see Whabby shaking his head, no really, I SEE you Whabby lol) I still grab a button going past a cemetery and knock wood to ward off something reoccurring.
Come on, think about it..I’ll bet the nest is a veritable treasure chest of tales and superstitions.
I can hardly wait to hear them all!

Good morning iteach..
Mek and #10, you're too much.
Wives tales...let me think.
Does jumping up and down after sex will keep you from getting pregnant.
Yes, I believe that's one, not sure if it really works, tho.
Ronnie
TINA - Congrats on first!!!
Good morning to ITEACH - I have been buying the same Vanity Fair bra for years. They fit well, don't cost a fortune, and is quite cute!!! If you want the model #, let me know and I will email it to you. I usually wait til Kohls has a sale (sometimes they have a buy 2 get one coupon or mail in). Have a great Thong Thursday!!!
TINA - You could put "living on the edge, but not over the hill yet" on that 40 card - if you don't use the headstone.
Wow...you people are first...just seconds ago I looked here and it was still yesterdays blog and now today's is up..and Tina (congrats on first), MEK and CPGEM, itewach and Ronnie you are already off and running. Awesome. And a very good morning to you and to all the owls that will be soaring in!
Childhood beliefes, superstitions, old wives tales..as much as I know these are not real, there is something in me that doesn't want to test the fates,so I:
-don't step on sidewalk cracks(break your mothers back),
-throw salt over my left shoulder when I spill it
-know that when my nose itches, I am going to kiss a fool (my nose has been VERY itchy over the years)
-know that when my palm itches, money is coming (still waiting!!!)
Well, haven't stepped on any spiders lately, so it isn't going to rain today...off I go to enjoy the sun. Have a great day, Owlettes and the boys!
Good morning Tina, mek, night owls and iteach!
Tina, congrats on first and mek on tenth!
Nice topic, nowmercy. I have so many, I have to think.
NOWMERCY - The only one I can think of is wearing your cowboy boots to bed if you want to conceive a boy!!! Ok, not sure if that really is an old wives' tale......but Mr. Jodi looks damn fine in just his boots!!! LOL!!
Ronnie, Jodi and Vig, good morning to you too!
Good morning, Jodi. We were posting at the same time. Thanks for the Thursday thong picture...hilarious and a happy Thong Thursday to you!!!
Good morning Grandma MOses...have a fabulous day!
Waving a wing at VIG & GRANDMA MOSES!!! You both must have been posting when I was.
Morning vig and grandma.
Jodi, I thought every one slept in boots. I know down here, we get buried in them too.
Ronnie
CAROL - Holy crap batman - how could I forget to say "holla" to you?!!? Have a great day - it must be fun planning a honeymoon!!! Our honeymoon consisted of flying down to Brownsville, TX (we stayed at a little flea bag motel - that a lot of winter birds stay), but we had fun border hopping and spending time with my hubby's Grandparents (they wintered down there). Looking back - I don't regret a thing because Grandpa passed away the following summer.

BBL
Ronnie waving Hi to everyone, with fugly nails flashing.
Yeeeessssss!!!!! Had to get that in for the day while MISS TINA was on Tuesday!!! LOL!!
VIG - Luvin' your little sunshine pic!!! Making me smile today :)
Good morning!
Congrats Tina!
I remember as a kid we were supposed to hold our breath when going thru a tunnel. I have no idea why, but we just did it.
Took me years to stop doing that!
Hope everyone has a great day!
So many people up early this morning.
Tina - 1st again. Are you trying to beat Joey's record? Good Morning Sweetie.
Good Morning Tina, Mek, Carol, iteach, Ronniegirl, Jodi, Vig, and Grandma Moses.
I came from Nova Scotia and it is full of superstitions and old wives tales. I grew up with
"Don't open that umbrella in the house". I was never told why". If two bad things happened to you then for sure a third bad one was to follow. If you dreamt about someone who had died you were sure to have another death in the family soon. I could go on but I won't until I remember a few unusual ones.
I am taking my 'fur babies' to the groomers. I hate those 4 hours they are gone. Even with my kitty the house is so empty. I had a pleasant school reunion yesterday except for the fact that at my age when you all get together there are always some tragedies to talk about. Everyone pretends we haven't changed a bit. That's always a joke. We really needed name tags. Have a good one all owls present and soon to be present.
Good Morning East Bay J. I used to hold my breath every time a logging truck would pass us. I felt that kept the logs safely on the truck.
I always wear a new dress on the first day of school! It makes me feel like I am starting the school year fresh.
My mind is starting to work now.
Good morning everybody! Not even 8 a.m here so the coffee has yet to kick in and remind me of any superstitions I still carry.
Does anyone have the TV on? George W's on every channel(including E!) EXCEPT NBC. I find that curious. Instead Matt L. is interviewing Drew Peterson about his dead wives!
A reporter just asked "W" about $4 a gallon gas by Spring......"W" said it's the first he'd heard about it. Is that amazing? Of course, given where his head has been, his ears are probably plugged up. Anyone got a Q-tip?
I'll try to remember some good ones for ya, N/M, and come back later after I rinse the TV images from my early morning eyes. Have a great day y'all!!
Bon Oregon - Good Morning. I was just thanking you for the great picture comment you sent.
I am afraid when George W is on TV I turn it off. I don't like to speak ill of another countries' president but I just can't stand to watch him.
Good Morning everyone..
I do have to run - I am almost late
But - NowMercy - great blog..
My mom used to always tell me that if "you don't stop making that face, your face will STAY that way"
Hope everyone has an excellent day - I'll be back in a few hours...
(I know - everyone will be holding their breath!!!!) LOL
Okay....although I'm loving Tuesday's blog and comments....I'm going to try and live in the present....for today~
I remember being told that if I ate watermelon seeds, I'd grow a watermelon in my tummy! You should have seen the horror on my face the first time that happened!
Good Morning everyone~ :)
BON - LOL @ Q-tips!!!
Off to have lunch with my Aunt. Will be back later. LOL @ TINA'S watermelon tummy!!! That's about as crazy as when my told me not to cross my eyes because they would stick that way!!!
OK.....SORRY.....my MOM told me. Note to self.....read comment before publishing it!!!
HI MEK,TINA,ITEACH,BONSIS,CAROL, RONNIE, JODI, TINK, EBJ, VIG, GRANDMAM..
Wow the nest is bustling this morning with lots of laughs already. Bonsis, try a hot cold hot cold shower to rid yourself of the images, or smudge or...
So glad you all are reading and sharing or getting ready to share.
Take Care..I'll be back later on.
BREAKFAST:
Hmmm:
-Smoothies
-Yogurt and granola
-Fresh Fruit Salad
-Thick cut whole grain toast
-Thick strong coffee
-Steeped Earl Grey or Peppermint tea
-Trail mix for those on the go...
Anybody ever get told that belly button lint was good luck?
Cat whiskers that are found are supposed to be really good luck.
Is the penny good luck heads or tails?
Maureen? Amicus? Shirley?
Good morning everyone!!! Flapping and dipping my wing to you all.
Once again thanks to Carol for this nest, nowmercy for the topic and congrats to tina~ on 1st!
I really never grew up with any superstitions other then knock on wood. I use that one.
I am knocking on wood that this trip all comes together. #2 son called when he left San Fran. Should be in Denver any minute on his way to connect and get here this afternoon. Hope he gets a seat! Since he doesnt' book a flight (flying free on the airline) you take your chances.
Mom is on the way from her house (an hour away) so she will be here soon.
Decided to tell Grandma he was coming so she didn't have a heart attack when someone walked in the door this afternoon when she is at my house all alone... that would have ruined the trip!
May I just say once again how much you all make me smile and how glad I am to have found you. And I SO MUCH appreciate your comments and messages on myspace-even if I am slow to respond!!
JODI- dinner and cocktails soon!!!
Tina: First again???? When does this woman sleep??? LOL I guess that is what I get for sleeping in this morning.
Kgirlturtle: I love your quote of the day. I spit coffee and started to choke I was laughing so hard.
Old wives tales Hmmm
What comes to mind is Step on a crack and break your mothers back.
Don't walk under a ladder.
See a penny pick it up and all day long you will have good luck.
We used to put our hands on the roof of the car and Dad would honk the horn when we went through a tunnel for good luck.
I do have a favorite number if you count that as superstitious.
NowM: I have never heard the stretch mark one??? Ewwww I would be so dead if that were true! LOL
Ok going to catch up here and see what others have posted.
50....what the heck~ :)~
Nowmercy - I just dropped by again for a smoothie. I thought that would go well with my shredded wheat.
Tina - I was always told watermelons would grow in my tummy too. Also the green on the cucumber was poisonous. After my mom would peel the cucumber, she would scrape it with a fork.
One of the strange ones that my mom still believes today - If you ever talk about someone's face being disfigured (in a fire for example) you never touch your own face while you are describing it. I never knew the reason for that but I can still hear my mom's words "Don't touch your face".
Deaths occur in threes.
Stick your tongue out and it will wither.
I know the itchy palm means money coming but I was told one itchy palm means money coming and the other itchy palm means money leaving. I can never remember left or right.
Good morning to MEK, Carol, Iteach, ronnie, Tinka, Goldie, Jodi, Vig, Grandma Moses, EBJ, Bono and anyone else I missed!!!
Thanks for the blog today nowmercy!
Nice words of the day turtle!!! LMAO!
Tina is first again???? WTF????
Old Wives Tales. I really can only think of one. My mom used it all the time on us kids, and she did the same when she had a daycare with all her grandkids coming to her house everyday. Here it is....
Scenario: Kid toots
Mom then says: "A fart is just air passing over a turd. You need to go and try to poop."
God we still say that to her ALL THE TIME and we get her laughing so hard she crys! All the grandkids will say it in unison! ANd she just giggles and says "It's true!" We can't get her to stop believing that!
Good morning everyone! I am up so early for me, I don't know what to do with myself. Suggestions from TINA and JODI don't count.
GEORGE: Congrats on #1...who's that cute thang in the picture with you? ;)
MEK: HELP!! I made a card for TINA and it is awful! I need help..or it needs the shredder!
NOWMERCY: Having come from a Russian/Irish background, there are so many of these superstitions I have heard over the years. I just need to remember them.
One that my mom always warned about was not to 'mark yourself'. She would go as far as to slap your hand away if you were to say, for example "That guy had a big cut right here.." and touch your arm or leg..or God forbid, your face. The superstition was that you would get the same thing in the same place.
Another was more to do with my Catholic faith as mom insisted on annointing the exterior walls of the house as well as the doors with Holy Water to keep evil away.
I have always worn an Italian horn pendant to keep away the "evil eye", and tied a red ribbon on the rearview mirror to keep us safe while we drive.
Sounds nutty, but so far so good!
CPGEM8: Good morning to you! Do you know the Italian name for that piece of jewelry? I use to but have forgotten.
RGIRL: I don't know about jumping up and down after sex..but the laughter illicited if my hubby did it BEFORE sex would sure do a lot to stop pregnancy. And sex.
ITEACH: How are you doing this sunny morning?
VIG: Good to see you! I do the salt over the shoulder thing too. There is a debate in my family that if the left hand itches it means money is going out, the right and money is coming in..ever hear of this?
Time to split the post in two...
JODI!: ROFL! The cowboy boots...what a great visual!
Note to self: Read all posts before posting, this will avoid repeating what others have already said. Sorry!
TINKA: Hope today is sunny and bright for you. My next stop is the email I owe you. I hope GW gets there today.
TINA: Mr. Z came home and saw the card and immediatley started trying to help..I'm telling you, I'm in trouble here. Congrats on 50!
EBJ: Thanks for the link..I will check that out today!
BON'O: I just don't watch anymore.
LYNND: I believe that death occurs in threes..and the penny is supposed to only be picked up if it is face up..but hell, I need the money!
Waving with wounded wing (who knew making a card could be so frickin hazardous)to GRANDMA MOSES, GOLDIE, BARB/WA !!
Boy..I really know how to clear a room!
Last night as we were coming home from dinner and a movie a black cat crossed the road directly in front of us. David turned around and went around an entire city block to avoid crossing the path of the black cat. I never have a black cat cross in front of me. He on the other hand seems to always get "jinxed" in this way. Of course I love black cats and their beautiful green eyes so I don't beleive in this superstition.
Morning Owls:
All packed, at work for a few hours flying out at 2pm Hawaii time. MEK that would be two hours behind Cali so three hours behind for AZ.
MEK & Zona: If I am anywhere near I-10 you will get a call from me.
Well MEK will as I have that number.
BOTD: Nice blog Nowmercy....
"Listen more and speak less. There is alot to learn from life"
PS..
Thank you for all of the thong Thursday comments left on my profile. I don't know where you find them and the owl comments but they are too funny.
Oh and quote of the day...
Sorry to all thw owls that almost choked, spit out their coffee, or we're slightly offended. Sometimes I write before I think.
But to those that thought it was funny......thanks for accepting me for who I am.
Turtle~
East Bay J
we held our breath as children when we drove by a cemetary.
There's an old wives tale among Hispanic people. If you have a headache or not feeling well then put a red piece of thread on your forehead. My friend's Mom did that to me many years ago. (Actually I think your mind goes away from your headache and you're concentrating on the long red thread). There was another one about an egg still in its shell that would do something for you.. It's been a long time. I'll try to remember it. Hmmm...
I am rushing off to the groomer's but I just wanted to say "I am sorry Nowmercy, I didn't thank you for today's blog".
Zona - I am so happy to see you posting. My imagination runs away with itself. I thought you were sick. Aren't I the worrying Mom? I got a chill when I read your post about your mom saying "Don't mark yourself". Did you read my post? I said almost the same thing. I thought I was the only mother who ever had that superstition. My mom was very serious about it.
K-Girl- Have fun. Be good.
Rushing off.
Woo hoo having fun popping in and out to read it..
Turtle.. NO offiense AT ALL and I feel some pangs of oh shit sad to think you are in a culture that might influence you to even think of having to say that. And, very thoughtful of you. Love the quote so I'm off to listen more.
Oh one more..bad bad luck to read the paper middle to front or middle to back, must start at the front or back page.
BONSIS: Feeling any better?
K-GIRL: You have mail!!! Sorry!!
ZONA: Love your lists...and the Russian influence.
kgirl- I LOVED the quote of the day. Anything that makes me spit and laugh is all good! And who are we to judge and not accept you just as you are?????
Safe travels friend. But explain to my why you are LEAVING Hawaii????
progress report - he is on the plane from Denver, will be here in about 90 minutes!
GOLDIE: 82!!!!
NOWMERCY: There are so many more..just hard to remember.
TINKA: Sorry I worried you. I'm a nood. ;)
Oh, just thought of two more. Must be the caffeine!
If a bird flies into your window and dies, there will be bad luck. I always thought "Yeah, for the bird!"
If you eat pork roast and saurkraut on New Year's Day, you will have good luck all year. Personally, I've experienced the opposite.
Goldie:
Sometimes you have to leave the rock...lol.
Helping a good friend get two vehicles from Los Angeles to Alabama. Her husband is stationed there going to flight school.
Its cheaper for them to ship to LA and drive then to ship all the way to Alabama. So we are making an adventure out of it. I also have family in Atlanta where I am flying out of to return to the island. Going to have a mini family reunion with them.
TINA, Congrats on being 1st.
Fun topic. We have what we call Friedaisms, named in honor of my mom.
When you sneeze, pull your earlobe, to honor those that have passed away.
Never give earrings as a gift, or the relationship will end. Same as if you get earrings, you will no longer be friends with the person that gave them.
Drop a knife and you will have a fight with someone.
When you visit a grave, leave a stone on the headstone. It lets people know that the deceased had visitors.
If you give a wallet or purse as a gift, always include a penny. The recipient will have greater wealth.
KGIRL - have a safe trip. Have a lot of fun, take lots of pictures! I hope you can meet up with a bunch of nesters. And don't forget to take your Doc Martens...maybe you will find a pair of legs adorned with Jimmy Chu's along the way!
GOLDIE, have a great trip. Family reunions are so wonderful. I'm glad your son is on the way.
Thanks to everyone for your kind and often hilarious comments and messages you have sent me. I am trying.
Popping in for a minute.
Thought of another one.
Lift you feet when you drive over railroad tracks for luck.
I think this one was probably started by one of the hillbillies in my family as they always seemed to have holes in the floor board and you didn't want the ole feet getting caught! LOL
Kgirl: Wishing a very fun and safe trip!!! I am superstitious about that. I hope you get to meet MEK and other Owls in your travels! I still think your quote is hilarious!! Didn't offend me in the least!!!
Goldie: The count down is on. I can see how excited you are getting.
MEK: If you are still around what about a rodeo clown tag??
Zona: You are awake!!! I always heard that if a bird flies into your house there is going to be a death in your family. Weird!! Poor birds they seem to have a bad rep.
As far as spitting in the wind, I don't remember who posted that, but in my family it was don't pee in the wind etc... As this seems to be more of a common sense issue to me I have not spit or peed in the wind. Tho I have broke wind when peeing!
Barbwa: LMAO over your post.
Waving to everyone back to housework!!
Yay Mo posted!!!! Sending ((((Hugs)))))!!!!!!!
The purse gift my family has used as a superstition also.
But it was never give a purse, a coin purse, a wallet or piggybank with out some money included. Prosperity for the the person receiving the gift but bad luck to the person giving the gift if no money included.
You know I do this if I give one of these gifts and I usually put in a dollar. Inflation!
kgirl, I understand why you are going, I just don't understand why you are going- LOL Must be that I am in WI going to MN for a trip when I wish it was Hawaii. Except for the grandbabies part.
Zona- I have heard a whole lot of these old sayings but sauerkraut and pork????? Where the hell did that come from? I was thinking the same thing about the pig as you thought about the poor dead bird.
Hi MO!!! Waving to you- I have been a bit out of the loop, not sure whats up but hope you are well.
MAUREEN: Now I know why I never had my ears pierced, didn't want to lose any friends!
LYNND: LOL at the holes in the floorboards! OMG!! Just read the end of your post again! Breaking wind and peeing--your own mini-monsoon!! ;)
GOLDIE: My mom never said where the pork/saurkraut thing came from. She just insisted we eat it every year. We honored her memory by continuing to have this meal, and our luck just sucked. This year we had beef roast..and things are going much better. Sorry mom.
75!!! YAY!! ;)
BTW TINA: I changed my default pic, what do you think?
I'm back1
Great tales today.
About the coins, we always put in a penny when giving a knife or steak knives set. Supposed to keep you from cutting yourself. Sure
K-Girl, enjoy your trip and be safe...hope you get to meet some of the buddies along the way.
Ms. Fashion Plate, Lovey, So excited for you about your trip. I love reunions.
Maureen, liked your post, and good to see you. Keep on keeping on!
Waving Hi to everyone I missed.
Where is our girlfriend Shirley?
Come out, come out, where ever you are! Miss ya....
Thinking of you, Amicus.
Ronnie
Zona- may have been better for you but guessing the steer wasn't too happy about it! :)
zona~~
Did you all have to eat cabbage on new years day to bring wealth ?
We had to eat that and blackeyed peas for good luck.
Ronnie
I'm BBAAACCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!
:-)
Card clinic was fun -
Goldie - SO glad that son made the plane in Denver and is on his way - you all will have LOTS of fun!!
Ronnie - from yesterday - i guess I missed the "secret" before you deleted it - so now we are ALL in the dark - LOL
I LOVE all the "wives tales"!!
Okay - I gotta go made some tags - STILL have NO idea WTF I'm going to do!!!
:-)
Mek~~
She says as she leans over and whispers to Mek....i hit 'publish comment' too damn many times and was covering my ass for the stupid mistake. K?
RGIRL: We had to eat saurkraut, but I think it's the same thing-just wilted down and soured up!
I've heard of the black-eyed peas..but never had them.
GOLDIE: I guess it was just the steer's turn!
My mom's reltives would eat pig's feet soaked in sour cream at Christmas for good health. How ironic is that? My mom would hide under the bed...
LUNCH?
Crackers and cheese or soy cheese
Raw veggies with dip
Miso soup
Melon slices
Chardonay, Sodas, Juices, Water
Americano or Tea
Good afternoon OWLETTES!!!!!
Waving a wing at everyone... way too many to name names...
sorry.. I feel bad if I miss someone...
O.K....
Are you ready... the south is the worst for these wives tales...
O.K... I heard that the palm itch... If it is the left palm you are going to get money... right palm .. you are going to shake hands with a fool...
If your nose itches... you are getting company-- If it is the left side it will be a man .. because a women is always right!!!!
I still throw salt over my left shoulder if I spill some...
I always X my windshield if a black cat crosses my path...
Don't walk under a ladder...
and you cross your fingers when passing a grave yard!!!
I know I am missing some .. but that is enough for now...
have a great day...
I am going to work tonight ... delivery for the first time in over a week... and of course our high today is 34...
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
I will bundle up... hope we are busy.... need the money... missed 3 nights of delivery ... too much money loss there....
Have a great evening...
I am taping survivor tonight so someone needs to let me know who goes home on IDOL...
I fear my favorite girl will go... she was not very good last night...
Not many were...
Later taters!!!
Thanks nowmercy for lunch.
I was just changing clothes and I saw myself in the mirror. So in honor of myself, I believe I'll have the beautiful melons...I mean melon slices.
Ronnie

Nowmercy thank you so much for the blog today :o)
I didn't think I was supersticious, but maybe I am because I too have carried on with many of things mentioned above.
VIG you had my list down pat.
I will add, 7 years bad luck if you break a mirror, and when giving a knife as a wedding gift include money for luck not to cut yourself.
Thank you all for the comments and messages reminding me it was "THONG THURSDAY"!
Hope everyone is having a terrific day!

Ronnie

Yeah, if we got caught doing that as kids, we'd get in trouble for getting the bed dirty.
Ronnie

Try using a bandana print as your background for your pic. or wording.
Ronnie
Did i stop the blogging again?
Mek do u print off papers n stuff to use for your cards?
Sorry I'm full of questions today.
Lovey and Lynn D -
I attend a monthly crop for scrapbooking and each month we do a tag exchange and each month they are a different theme - this month is RODEO (I got outvoted). While I love a good rodeo - I just don't own a boat load of rodeo themed stamps, paper, etc.....
All the tags have to be the same size - we have a standard template for those!! and I have to make 12 of them...
Zona it's on your page hehe
Mek~~
You get homework in your club?
Ronnie
Ohhh ty Mek, that sounds like a fun group to be a part of.
