If you sweep UNDER someones feet (like they lift their feet while sitting down, so you can sweep under them) they will never get married again. If you hit your mother, your hand will stick out of your grave. |

Well, it seems that if you get splattered on your face with grease while you are pregnant and you instinctively grab for your face your baby will have a big birthmark on his/her face. My mother grabbed her leg. I have a birthmark on my left leg - and that was 75 years ago. I love that story - old wive's tale, yes; true, maybe!!!!!!!! Edie
put mustard (like you put on a hotdog) on each burned area. IT WORKED!! The pain stopped immediately and to this day there are no scars. :thumbup: This old wives' tale saved my face, neck and arm. My eyebrows and hair had to grow back in. |
Break a mirror and you will have 7 years bad luck

Thanks to all of you! I have enjoyed this Thread very much. Hope others enjoyed it also. You have taught me some I didn't know and others have brought me so wonderful childhood memories back.
Thanks again! Penny |

If I had ever hit my mother my whole body would be in a grave. Momma didn't play that game.

Pregnant women shouldn't take baths. Pregnant women shouldn't eat fish Pregnant women shouldn't take baths - somewhat true. Hot water can raise the body temperature and be detrimental to the fetus. It is okay to take warm baths, but not if your water has broken. Baths are sometimes recommended to see if you are actually in labor - warm bath can stop "false" labor, but will not stop the real thing. Pregnant women shouldn't eat fish - true. There are species of fish that are very high in mercury content. Doctors now recommend limited fish eating if pregnant or trying to conceive. I worked in OB for many years. I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV! |
Enjoyed reading these. Thanks.
Mother used to always say no house was big enough for 2 women. Dad said his mother would always give him kerosene with sugar for his soar throats. Asked him if it helped. He said never noticed the soar throat after taking the "antidote" but he soon learned not to tell his mother when he had a soar throat. ugh Sitting too close to the TV would harm the eyes. Always have the head of the bed north. |
I remember my mother taking 'coal oil' (that's what we called kerosene) with sugar for a cough/sore throat.
