When it comes to good luck,i was once out gardening when a passing Starling decided to drop one right on my shoulder,this in my part of the world is said to bring good fortune and strangely enough that afternoon i won a large amount of money on a little gamble i had.
So what about you?do you have any superstitions?do you do certan things to ward off bad luck?or indeed to bring good luck?do you believe in any of it?over to you!

I think that magpie one is a pile of crap, You would hardly ever see more than one magpie at a time, and as for walking under ladders, well it's normally easier to walk around them, so why would you walk under one? etc. etc.

Disease is gonna have 1000 magpie shit on his head for this..LOL.
As for the ladder thing..
lazy ppl walk under it rather than around if its in thier line of walking.
In my country anything that has a picture or any icon with a peacock on it is deemed unlucky.
I wonder how all these superstitions started ???

....Do you live in FL and are the father of my ex? My ex used to say that her father told her that. Only other time I've heard that is from you! :eek:

As far as superstition, pfft, sorry, but I do most of the stuff you people here avoid, for fun. :D

Bad luck? No more bad luck than I was born with.

But may I ask, what exactly is this "luck" of which you speak? You cannot change the course of your lifes ending anymore than you can change the stripes of a zebra. Everyone has a course they must follow, and the course has many paths and branches, but in the end, you end up at the same place.

I've learned to live with what life throws at me. I've changed a lot over the past two years. I may get down sometimes, but I always wind up back up on my feet and running.

There is no luck, just life....

go back to picking your nose..
Lately it seems you find pleasure in nit picking..trying to start something with
any member who really cares.
Well..we don;t ok..we are done with the bickering..go and argue with yourself in the mirror. :rolleyes: learn to take a joke
