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!

Zona said...

KGIRL: I am noticing that! Thanks everyone!

RonnieGirl said...

Mek~

So I see. I've never seen or been exposed to a sick pecker before. I guess I've had a sheltered life..lol

Ronnie

kahonugrl said...

We are picking up the cars around 7 or 8, so hope to be pulling out of long beach around 9am

♥LOVEY♥ said...

WoooHoooo RONNIE..YES!!
You'll love it.

MEK in AZ said...

nowmercy - LOL at wheat crops, etc. - I guess they called them crops, cuz you cut paper!!

WELL, for the 100th time - I will say - this is NOT getting those tags done, is it.... BUT - this is WAY more fun..

RonnieGirl said...

What Lovey...a sick pecker?

Zona said...

RGIRL: YES!! I can't wait! You'll love Myspace!

scirish said...

ATTN: SCRAPBOOK ppl! Help! what are the little things called that cut out designs????? I need some for a jewelry making class and am trying to find them online...

cutty things is not yeilding any results

MEK in AZ said...

K-girl - great - that should put you here around 5-6-7'ish!! YEAH!!

Okay - guess I should get out of the nest and either

A) make those tags

B) color my hair for my meeting with Turtle!!!

C) take a nap...

MEK in AZ said...

LOL - scissors!!!

RonnieGirl said...

until I get my myspace page done, would someone put up a pic. of a sick pecker as an avatar so I can see one?

I just love you ladies the way you all share your dirty pictures. LOL

Zona said...

MEK: Remember my suggestion. A little hay, some dirt and cow sh*t. They'll never suggest a rodeo tag again! (this is why I should stick to coloring..) ;)

MEK in AZ said...

exacto knife

Templates

♥LOVEY♥ said...

Ronnie, LMAO, no well maybe,but I think you'll have a blast on myspace.

scirish said...

lol! no....the things that have designs already on them

MEK in AZ said...

Cow shit - I LOVE that!!
:-)

♥LOVEY♥ said...

ZONA ROFL

scirish said...

and it punches it out...kinda

Zona said...

SCIRISH: punches? I'm pretending I know what I am talking about...

scirish said...

oh...duh??? maybe!!!!

RonnieGirl said...

I kon Mek. Find a close-up pic of a cow patty, cut it out in the exact same shape and then put your wording on it. Something like...

"No shit, etc. etc. "

Ronnie

that is if the ladies can take a joke.

MEK in AZ said...

Zona - have I told you lately how CUTE you are?? I LOVE you!!!

Scirish - I have NO idea what you are talking about - embellishments come in a million different ways.

Jodi said...

lol @ ZONA getting 200!!! You're a sly one!!!

WHABBY - So glad you liked my comment about the boots!!! I just posted a pic of the hubby on his Harley with his chaps on!!! Pretty hot - if I do say so myself!!! Sadly, we no longer have the Harley (my favorite vibrator btw), but he still has the leather and chaps!!! Yippeeeee!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

MEK in AZ said...

250

♥LOVEY♥ said...

SC, could they be called jewelery stamps?

scirish said...

zona...thats it!!! I swear i am in a fog today!! ty

Cow patties ROTFLMAO!!!!

RonnieGirl said...

scirish~

I think it's called a punch.
Like a hole puncher but bigger and different designs.

♥LOVEY♥ said...

try google, jewelery making supplies

Zona said...

MEK: Love you too!!

JODI: It's such a goooood picture!
I was on a motorcycle one time--I was so scared I couldn't even enjoy the vibration!

MEK in AZ said...

I guess the question that could be asked - what kind of jewelry are you making? and maybe that will trigger our minds..

Jodi said...

RONNIE - You'll love myspace!! I'd love to add you so I can deface your page, too!!!

Waving a wing at MEK, ZONA, LOVEY, SCIRISH!!

ZONA - Just as long as you color inside the lines!!! ;)

♥LOVEY♥ said...

JODI!!!!!! Hiya :o)

I loved looking at your pics.

Just_Lin said...

ROFLMAO that "sick pecker" inspires RonnieGirl to get a MySpace.

Sorry, I'm not up on everything happening today. Did Tina get #1 again? I see that Turtle got 200. Congrats to you. I don't remember who was 100 was it Zona?

Thank you for the blog today, Nowmercy. I am not superstitious and the only one I can think of is the black-eyed peas on New Years.

MEK Try the PBR website for inspiration (Professional Bull Riders). Maybe you could get some twine, make some lassos....oh, I don't know.

MEK in AZ said...

Punches come in a million different sizes, shapes, and themes..

Zona said...

MEK: My trigger needs oil...;)

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

WTF????? I leave for a couple hours and place explodes! When I left there were only something like 70+ comments! Well....here goes....gotta get caught up!

Jodi said...

ZONA - I loved the wrap around back seat on that bike. I was totally able to relax - so much that I often times fell asleep on it!!!

scirish said...

Thanks owls!! I found some...paper puches!!! we are supposed to use them to stamp out designs on very thin silver...but I couldn't remember what they were called

Zona said...

JODI: I held on so tight I bet the guy still has my fingerprints on his ribs!!

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - I know rodeo - I just don't own the STUFF that you need to DO rodeo -

I used to be the only one that actually WANTED to go to the Pikes Peak Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs - LOVE that place..

Own millions of pairs of cowboy boots and Rocky Mountain jeans - I just don't have the scrapbook supplies for it!!! :-)

AND - sadly - we all know my obsession with scrapbook supplies!!!! LOLl

okay - I need to quit my whining and get my sorry ass upstairs..

Just_Lin said...

Ronnie Here you go. Please note the upper right corner of the thong.

♥LOVEY♥ said...

ROFL JustLin, omg that sick pecker on you page..I just about fell off my chair.

Just_Lin said...

Ronnie I'm just posting again to make sure I get your attention. LOL

Zona said...

HI BARB/WA!! HI J/LIN...pull up some caffeine and stay awhile!

RonnieGirl said...

I'll catch you up just_lin.

We have discussed sick peckers, exacto knives, punches, cow shit, scrapbookking, and Harleys. Oh yeah and a family reunion for Lovely that's not with her own family.

Ronnie

Jodi said...

LOVEY - Thanks!!! It was fun looking thru the pics and choosing the right ones!!!

JUST LIN - You must have been posting when I was - HOWDY!!!

RonnieGirl said...

Too much sick pecker for you, calling Mek, Mel...and in bold too.

Ronnie

grandma moses said...

My tale, although I believe it is true and will NEVER do it. Never give a knife or opal to someone as a gift. It is very bad luck and you won't have a relationship with that person for much longer. Hey, why tempt fate!??

goldie said...

ok- off work and heading out the door. If I don't get back on tonight- BYE!!!!!

I am taking laptop so will try to fly in once in awhile!

Hugs to all

spring said...

Okay...you all are caraazy today. How fun. Is it MEK looking for rodeo inspiration? Skip this if the question has been answered and excuse me if some are obvious"

Fancy belt buckles, saddles, lasso rope, cowboy hats, tight fitting on the butt jeans, stirrups, rodeo clown and barrel, first aid truck or station, leather gloves, bright plaid colors, horse trailers, bridle, halter, saddle blankets, fences, chewing tobacco, back pocket round ring from chew can, bucking horse, black eyes, rodeo queen crown, American flag, border collies, australian shepherds, blue heelers, bleachers, bandages, horseshoes, cinches, spurs, cowboy boots, riding helmets, p.a. speakers... been to a few rodeos and these are the highlights but not in order heh heh.

Bon'O said...

Damn!! An innocent ol' Nanook goes out in the sun for half a day and gets betrayed by her feathered friends. It'll be a cold day before I post another Thong Thursday comment!! :o)

BAD LOVEY!

Strangely enough I found that on the very first page of Photobucket when Googling it for Thong Thursday. Thought MAYBE I could get away with sending it to just a few of you who've 'decorated' my page with some kinky stuff~~Was up half the night thinking it was a bit TOO tasteless. Toned down my Thong Thursday comment for those whose eyeballs might have fried :O).

Now, I see y'all puttin' it 'above the fold on the front page of the Hooters Gazette! That is so very wrong...............but if that's what it takes to get RonnieGirl enticed onto MySpace (where she can show off her melons!), I'm happy to take the fall!

If only the blog were like MySpace, where if you change your avatar it changes all your history comment avatars as well. Now, I'm all embarrassed and going back outside to play. *pouting, chin on chest*

Bon'O said...

but seriously foks :o)

Mo~~So nice to have you back in the nest, and I triple-loved your superstitions.

K'girl/Goldie~~Happy travels and reunions! We WILL expect a photo journal, won't we?

IBB~~Stay warm & healthy out there tonight...I've missed you here.

Speaking of photos....Dianne????

Tina~in_ut said...

Okay.....I give up!!!! I'll never catch up....today exploded....I've caught up on today, but not the last two~ :(

Kgrl~ have a safe trip~ smak zona for me~ :)~

Zona~ your old pic reminded me of Alice on The Brady Bunch....your new one.......uh.....glad you like it~ :)~

Mek~ I meant to search the internet for tag examples for you...I even started...but this work thing is hell!!!!! Why do people think you should work when you are at work?

IBB~ I don't know why.....but I had been really worried about you when you were sick....I mean...I know why.....BUT REALLY WORRIED~ so glad you see you are doing okay~ :D

Jodi....I still have to leave you fun comments on your pics....they are so sweet....but hon...I think one of your shirts needs buttoning~ :)~

Ronnie~ It's about fricken time!!!!! I expect a new friend by tomorrow~ :)~

Lynn D said...

WTF Sick Peckers, harley vibrators, cow shit and horse shit??? Over 300 posts!!!!

Oh the visuals!!!!!!!!!1

Lynn D said...

By the way I have seen more cracks than a drywaller in my myspace comment section today!!

Way to go Barb WA: 300!!!

MEK: Do you have a horseshoe???

Lynn D said...

Oh I remeber another Old Wives tale.

The one who always wins the race will be cursed with bad taste! LMAO

Yeah I made it up!!! But Hell I made myself laugh! Could be the bleach fumes talking....

Bon'O said...

LynnD~~Just came back in from the great outdoors. Hope you've had some of this sunny weather, too. How's your new auction site coming?

N/M~~great rodeo ideas!

Tina~in_ut said...

I lied.....I just finished "what would you do!" EBJ~ that was awesome and I loved reading everyone's stories. Besides spending time with my family, I would want to meet all the blog buddies~ :D

Jodi said...

lol @ BARB/WA sprinting to 300!!! Love your squeal!!!

RONNIE - YES!!! You can most certainly count on defacing from me!!! I take joy in finding the most obscure things!!! And I bet TINA would be happy to oblige, too!!! :D

Dinner is ready!!! Au Gratin potatoes with ham and fresh green beans!!! Dig in while it's hot!!!

GOLDIE - I suppose it would be too much to ask for you make a batch of your special brownies before you leave!!!

spring said...

JODI Thanks for dinner. I'll take the carbs since I don't eat meat.

Like LYNN I remember an OWT from my great grandmother on my Dad's side of the family. Posting naughty pictures on the blogs will bring you luck of some sort or another.

Gotta love my psychic (or was that psycho?) great granny!

spring said...

If Goldiie can't get the brownies done I have a friend who used to make wonderful special brownies and I would be happy to call her...

Jodi said...

NOWMERCY - Luvin' your great granny - my kind of woman!!! LOL!! And your welcome for the dinner. :D

spring said...

JODI.. Should someone tell Justlin or should we let her find out on her own? hmmm

Here's a childhood belief I had..if you hang your hand over the edge of the bed at night, in the dark, the witch under the bed will grab you and you will never been seen again...still hard for me to do that lol

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Good evening(well it's almost 8:00here) everyone!

Goldie and Turtle I hope you both have good and safe trips.

Maureen glad to see you post. ((HUGS)).

Tina congrats on #1.

Nowmercy great topic! Most of what I have read I recognized but I didn't see these -

Don't spin a knife on the table, it is bad luck.

Flies only bite fat people...they are sweeter.

An itchy nose means someone is talking about you.

If your pants are too short it means there will be a long winter.

"One crow sorrow,
Two crows joy.
Three crow girl,
Four crows boy."

"Red sky in the night sailors delight. Red sky in the morning sailors take warning."

If a boiled egg cracks while you are cooking it you will hear some bad new.

If you wear a new item of clothing on New Years day you will have clothes for the rest of the year.

I can't think of anymore right now.

spring said...

YAY
SHIRLEY IS
IN THE
NEST!!!

I heard if your ears are burning someone is talking about you...

HEY TINK..did your furbabes get home yet and are they georgeious?

spring said...

OMG I just noticed this is a leap year!!! Are there any leap year babies in the nest? Who knew?

Zona said...

NOWMERCY: I don't like to hang my hand over the side of the bed either. I use to check all the closets and under the bed before I got into bed..then Mr. Z told me to stop it..he was all I was gonna get. ;)

spring said...

ZONA: Whats he trying to hide is my question, why doesn't he want you to look..is he in cahoots with the zombies? be careful Zonababy!!!

spring said...

ZONA..I just started humming that old song "is that all there is?" lol and its all your MR Z's fault somehow.

Jodi said...

ZONA - Who were you looking for? Hugh Grant?!!? ;)

Jodi said...

RONNIE - Do you have your myspace page set up yet?

MEK in AZ said...

I'm back, AGAIN!! LOL

I opted for the NAP instead of making those damn tags!!!

I appreciate everyone's imput -

Now - I have to come up with a clever idea for dinner!! LOL...

OH MY!!!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Barb in WA - congrats on your march to 300!!!

RonnieGirl said...

jodi~~

I just checked back here and wouldn't you know, the last post was you asking about myspace.

I was over there looking and I really don't want my real email addy associated with this OR my real name.
Do you have to do that?
Can I give fake stuff?

spring said...

MEK..our fave standby for dinner is an omelet and french fries or house fried potatoes with salad or blanched veggies...good luck. Order out??

Bon'O said...

N/M~~The only way I can ever remember which years are leap years is that it's Presidential election years. In banking, we always knew we'd get an extra holiday for Election Day but had to work an extra day in Feb. to get it.

Today (2/28) was my parents' anniversary. They used to joke about how hard it would have been, had they married on a 2/29, to explain my being a teenager when they'd celebrate a single-digit anniversary.

Hi ((Shirley))!

Zona said...

NOWMERCY: LOL "is that all there is.." ;)

JODI: As LOVEY would say, hehehehe!

MEK: I vote Tacos!!! Spanish rice..but no beans!

spring said...

RONNIE I am so excited for your page soon. Someone else should and I am sure WILL advise you.. I used a gmail acct and as far as I know my real name (Raquel Welch) does not show up but myspace does have it. Oh I am so excited for you..it will work out.

Zona said...

TINA: I LOVE my default picture!

RonnieGirl said...

Thanks, nowmercy.

Survivor is coming on in 10 minutes and I'm going to do my little space thing after it's over.

Did you set-up a new email address or use the one you use for regular email?

spring said...

BONSIS: How many years would it be today? When I was a Parole officer I had a gal on my federal caseload who embezzled for 21 years..she got caught on lFeb 29 because she forgot to mark an audit on her calendar. She was a cell mate of Patty Hearst and really had some stories to tell. But I digress.
ZONA, hmm Tacos sound good too

RonnieGirl said...

nowmercy,
So my real name of Dolly Partin won't show?

spring said...

RONNIE.. I have a yahoo email acct that is my "regular account" and gmail for other stuff like myspace. Enjoy Survivor.. is that the same as the LOST show?

spring said...

350 yaya

spring said...

uuu Huh uuu Huh
"a girl who gets to 350 is blogging on a great space"
spoken by B. L. Ogger from Kanab, Utah

RonnieGirl said...

now mercy,

No not the same, but they are LOST on a desert island and can get a little ugly. I think Amicus is a Survivor fan too.

BBL
Ronnie

MEK in AZ said...

Nowmercy - congrats on 350..

looks like chicken fingers and salad has won out - Mr. MEK wants that...

I had planned to make us home-made beef pot pie - but I just don't have the energy to do all that!!

MEK in AZ said...

IBB is a MAJOR survivor fan - she is taping it since she works on THursday night - I usually watch - but I missed the first two shows of this season and just couldn't get into it...

Ronnie - I used my yahoo email for myspace - and did NOT put my full name in when asked.....

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

OK....I am now caught up on Big Brother and America's Next Top Model. Yep I'm a dork like that.

Zona said...

MEK: I'm going to run next door and show my card to my neighbor. If she survives, maybe she can give me some suggestions. First I'll have to get her to stop laughing though. ;)

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

MEK!!!!!!!!!!!

You still have not made your tags????

You must work better under pressure!

Tinkatia said...

Nowmercy - I just got home and my 'fur babies' do look gorgeous. I will be taking pictures again tonight.

K-girl - Thanks for the hugs. Have a good trip.

Zona - Thanks for the e-mail. Maybe my DVD will come tomorrow. I am hoping.

I have a lot of posts to read. I shall return.

spring said...

MEK: chicken "fingers" just sounds wrong to me. Makes me want to go out and check on "the girls".. our three chickens.. Tara, Crystal and "the White Girl"

If they are unable to roost because they are missing digits I'm comin over there! lol

DonnaJean said...

OMG!!!! 358 comments, and I just don't have time right now to read all of them!

Miss Laurie and I are just beginning to turn the corner! Yea!!! But, now the Dr says I have a "fungal infection" in my throat from the prednisone and anti-biotics! Is there NO END IN SIGHT????

So, Turtle is on the Mainland???? What did I miss? Is she visiting some Owlettes??? How fun. I must go back and re-read the comments.

And, is SacBarb back yet? I think I must do some definite reading, and find out what I have missed.

Next time I check in, I bet it will be up to 500 comments!!!!

Old Wives Tales. I believe them all!!! LOL!

See you all lovely ladies later, Love, DonnaJean

Bon'O said...

R'Girl~~So excited you're finally jumping in the pool! I'm on AOL so setup MySpace under that email, but with a screenname for MySpace.

The beauty of MySpace is that you can be 'out there' whether on a public, private or just-friends MySpace account and NO ONE of your visitors has access to your underlying email account (unless you choose to share it with friends, of course. But any time someone sends a comment or email to your MySpace account, MySpace generates a "You've got Mail" notice to your regular email account so you know you have MySpace mail. Does that make sense or ease your concern?

I'm so paranoid about someone (not MySpace friends, but some hacker-dude) getting my regular email account address that I really only share my gmail addy with MySpace friends. I know I can trust "my" friends, and I only use MySpace for blogbuddies. I just don't know who "their" friends might be outside our little nest so feel more comfy protecting the AOL account. Can't wait to 'see' you!

MEK in AZ said...

Nowmercy - hope your "girls" have all their fingers and toes!! LOL

Barb in WA - NOOOOOOOOO, and I just spent 20 minutes up in that dang loft and do you think I can find anything NOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

Tinka - glad everyone looks gorgeous after their day at the groomer!!

DJ - yes, you have missed some stuff!! :-)

Jodi said...

RONNIE - I think you could just set up your myspace with the gmail addy you had to use for this. And no, you don't have to use your real name. I'm really not the expert - any help Owlettes on this one?

DONNA JEAN - SACBARB is stilling dogsitting for her son and new dil. She will be back home next Tuesday. Glad that you and LAURIE have turned the corner!!! :)

Jodi said...

RONNIE - When you have everything set up - you can find me at
myspace.com/jodi_affwi

I thought Barb wouldn't be back until next week, but she left me a VM on my cell, and I accidentally deleted it! So, Barb, if you get back on the computer, call me back! I only have your land line #. I don't use it too often (the cell) so leave another message, and I will call you back!

Yes, it does look like I've missed a whole lot of stuff!!! Lots of reading in store for me!!!


See you all later! (after my reading) Love ya, DJ

RonnieGirl said...

Thanks for all ya'lls input on my space thing. I'm really a very private person and a little paranoid about putting myself "out there". I'm setting up another email addy and was wondering....

When Tom asks for my name, do I give my screen name or REAL name?

BTW...ibb and Amicus, if you're reading, Suvivor was really good tonight, as usual. And, once again, I don't do spoilers for reality shows. Not fair.

BBL, and thanks again. Oh, jodi thanks for the info cause I have no idea how to get in-touch with any of you. Will you share my addy with everyone after I accept your friendship?

Ronnie's sure she's going to have more questions.

RonnieGirl said...

just saw your post jodi,.....you will see it in the morning...night, night.

Ronnie

MEK in AZ said...

Ronnie - you won't have to share your email address - cuz we can message you thru your myspace..

Just_Lin said...

ronnie As soon as you are listed as a friend on one person's page, we can find you there, click on your avatar, and ask you to add us as your friend. You can accept or deny anyone.

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - don't tell her that she can REJECT us!!!
:-)

RonnieGirl said...

Mek~ I just came back and read what you said. I don't want to get thrown out of the nest, so I guess everyone is a friend.

Damn, do I ever sound lonely...lol
Just like the new kid in school eating lunch by herself.

Ronnie

MEK in AZ said...

Ronnie - I was just kidding - you have the right to approve or disapprove whoever YOU want to!!

LOL at lonely kid at the lunch room table!!

whabbear said...

OMG, Jodi!!! I just about spit up laughing at your favorite vibrator!

Favorite vibrator. Hmmm... Did THAT ever jog a vivid memory or two!

The time: mid-70's. For two summers, I worked doing gardening-related activities in Toronto's largest cemetary, a sprawling giant named Mount Pleasant. The second summer I was put on "special care" duty, which meant roaming all over the cemetary every day, providing TLC for plots that had paid a premium.

One of the duties was (of course) cutting the grass with a portable lawn mower.

Well! Being on my own, and knowing all the secluded spots, one day I discovered an unbelievably "effective" vibrator: Either the left or right handle (it didn't matter much which) of a gasoline-driven 20 inch mower.

Needless to say, I don't have one in my bedroom, so it's been over thirty years since I last had the pleasure.

JIGGLIN: Isn't that strange when it goes dead like that.. Glad you popped in..come anytime, I love your avatar...

WHABBY: WOA..that was a visual I am not sure I needed..oh well. Maybe you and hubby could buy a smaller version? Never mind..don't need to go there!!

MEK: Yup, the girls were all fine...I had to "put them to bed" anyway. They always look at me like I'm disturbing them a great deal when I close the door on the coop and they are already roosting. It looks like they are laying again so we will be enjoying VERY fresh eggs.

RONNIE: I understand your privacy concerns.. me too, that's why I hire a private detective to investigate all these owls..gotta say most of them pass muster and the ones who don't are usually on the naughty mat so they get a pass. lol
