Love these comments. My grandmother always said that when cleaning out your hairbrush, wrap the hairs up in something to keep the birds out of it. Meaning that if a bird happened to use your hair in it's nest, you would get pregnant.
Another, never kill a cricket, or bad luck would come.
Breaking a mirror is worth 7 years bad luck.
Will have to try and remember some more, she had lots of them. Many were already mentioned, lol.

Yes, it WAS the pully bone ! Back in the day my mom would cut a whole chicken up and was able to cut the front portion of the breast that housed the wishbone, and the most tender meat, this would always be my piece ! Then we would take the pully bone, hold it under the table leg and break it, can't remember if the longer or the shorter bone got the wish !

A big, big mirror "sitting" on the dresser (we had just moved and he hadn't fastened it up yet) got knocked over by the cat - -- my husband and I wondered: 7 years bad luck - or 14 for that big thing!!
This is a fun topic - love it!
