Superstition
CHAPTER 90
Had received a dressing down because i had oedemas (in my legs). NO salt – over – well – yes I started… Now I know why that fairy tale in which the three daughters of the king were asked by their father: “how do you describe my love for you?” – the first said sugar – the second said like my best dress and the third answered: LIKE SALT… Only those who know how food tastes without salt – know how right the third daughter was… Well – the father was stupid – he kicked her out of the house… After years – when he tasted food without salt because they had no more salt left in the palace – he remembered how right his third daughter was and was very upset of himself… He then regretted bitterly what he said and did to her… WELL at least he knew at last – some NEVER know not even when they are dying – no – that is no longer abt salt… ;) OK so no more salt – nettle tea and not standing nor sitting too long… For a housewife THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM – right? Well coffee and salt – because coffee too – kept these oedemas alive – brilliant – how great!Friday the 13th...Do or Don't
My fiance and I were trying to pick a date for our wedding. He would like for it to be sometime this year and I told him there is no way I can plan a wedding in less than a year. I'm very particular and know I would be stressed out if I felt I didn't have enough time.Did You Know.......? Bizarre National Superstitions
Bizarre National Superstitions In Iceland, an unmarried person who sits at the corner of a table won't marry for seven years. A pregnant woman who drinks from a cracked cup risks having a baby with a hare- lip.

Here is the question and answer part of the Harper Bazzar Magazine Interview: Who spends more time on their hair? Kristen: "Rob." Rob: "I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can't stand people -- um, I'll do anything to not have any touch-ups."The Contradictions between the Creationist Movements
Source: Scientific American magazine The Contradictions between the Creationist Movements A skeptic engages three types of creationists who claim science supports their beliefs, yet they contradict one another By Michael Shermer April 28, 2009 During the tsunami of bicentennial celebrations of Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday in February, I visited the fringes of evolutionary skepticism to better understand how one of science’s grandest theories could still be doubted. Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol, England, is run by a kindly gentleman named Anthony Bush, who insisted that I not confuse him with those “loony American creationists” who think that Earth is only 6,000 years old. “How old do you think it is?” I queried.Who Killed California?
by Troy Senik http://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/who-killed-california My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up. Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.The Power You Give Away
Recently I had a lengthy discussion with a group of people (strangers) that happened to be waiting with me for a Toastmaster's meeting. The topic somehow managed to turn to “superstitions” and I stood there listening contently as it was a somewhat bizarre topic to come up amongst a bunch of strangers. One person went on and on about the importance of having a proper “Mezuzah” at their door to protect a home (A mezuzah is a oblong box with a piece of paper in it with specific scriptures written on it) and the awful things which occurred to them when it was not “proper” and then how life changed for them after a clergyman “fixed” the problem.John Stossel on reinventing the healthcare system
July 22, 2009 Arrogance By John Stossel http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/07/22/arrogance_97561.html It's crazy for a group of mere mortals to try to design 15 percent of the U.S. economy. It's even crazier to do it by August.Sagittarius
Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed.What Ancient Graffiti Can Tell Us About Life in the Ancient World
This article is specifically geared toward Biblical Archaeology, but I am sure the same would hold true for any archaeological site. I had never thought about graffiti being something that even EXISTED in ancient times! And I was amazed at what they could determine about ancient life based upon it.
