Btw Kathy, I am only a taskmaster for myself. I am certain whenever you have the time to write a craft lens, it will be wonderful and well worth the wait. Sylvestermouse

Oh, I am sure I can remember a few that do not have to do with childbirth. Both of my grandmothers where full of such "wisdom" LOL I am searching the recesses of my mind.... Sylvestermouse

There is always the old one of the groom not seeing the bride on the wedding day because it is considered bad luck. Sylvestermouse

My husband just reminded me of a bird flying into your house being bad luck or a symbol of death. (I heard bad luck, but he said his New Orleans grandmother said it was death :) Sylvestermouse

There is always the black cat and the walking under a ladder will cause bad luck. Personally, I hug black cats and walk under ladders just to challenge that myth. Also, breaking your mother's back by stepping on a crack. Breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck. Ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Nose itches, someone is coming to visit. (Of course, with that one, I bar the door :) If a picture falls off of a wall, someone in the family is going to die. A cricket in the house is good luck. (Now that I remember that one, I am going cricket hunting) LOL Lifting your feet when you cross railroad tracks, yikes! I think we did that to get a boyfriend :) Oh yeah, throwing salt over your shoulder for good luck. (Ok, I admit, I do that!) One I am very familiar with right now, pulling out one gray hair will cause ten to grow in it's place :) Holy cow! What about not braking the ribbons on a gift at a bridal shower or you will get pregnant. (the bride of course :) Am I helping? Sylvestermouse
