Yes, to some, but not to all. (I hate to admit it)

I'm the oposite of most people... I figure that if I break a mirror it means a change of luck for me, and that mean's GOOD luck! haha. And I like Friday the 13, and full moons, although its usually a bizzarre, kooky day, its not usually a bad day. I find a sense of humour helps with these things. Otherwise, they are kinda creepy and I do not like creepy!

I have tried very hard not to do the "salt over the shoulder" thingy but I just can't stop myself. Other than that I am superstition free.

I agree with that Max good episode last night never miss the show Yes I believe but not in a super rules the universe kind of way just as a passing thing I don't even know I do most of them, the god bless you thing is habit and consideration for the person sneezing on my part, the candles out of tradition

I pick up pennies, and do salt over the left shoulder. If my left ear is ringing, someone is thinking something bad about me, and if my right ear is ringing, I think someone is thinking something good about me. I also refuse to tell fibs about my close friends and relatives, in case my fibs actually happen to them. You know everyone's considered saying they had to go to a funeral or something, to get an extension on a paper, or get out of work. I won't tell those lies.

I "knock on wood" sometimes and pay close attention to deja vu...I know its weird but I read somewhere one time that Deja vu is your future self trying to send you messages. Not real sure if that is a superstition but I pay attention to it when I experience it.

well, i worry if a ladder runs across the street in front of me or if a black cat steps on a crack. i say, <55> if someone sneezes in my face and doesn't cover their mouth, but usually i don't say it outloud`. i only walked under a cat once, and that was entering the casino at the luxor where you have to come out the cat's ass to enter the place. i hate it when the microwave turntable goes clockwise and want my food to be cooked counter-clockwise. but that's because i watch it spin sometimes and i get nauseated if it goes counter! i do pick up pennies for luck, and i buried a st. joseph's statue in the yard when we listed our house. since it took almost 6 months to get an offer, i can't tell if he helped or not! seems like an awfully long time, but houses on the market months longer than ours still don't have offers... i blow out birthday candles but i want the two big numbers now. a 5 and a 1 last birthday. i cannot imagine having the breath to blow out 51 teeny candles and it's hard to get them all lit in the first place! i think you have to blow them all out in one breath or your wish doesn't come true. of course, they don't usually come true, anyway, and often i forget what i wished for

I do pick up pennies, throw a bit of spilled salt over my left shoulder, and never walk under a ladder. Those 3 are mandatory with me. I am sure there are others but I can't think of them right now.

MySweetLori, I do those same things but I don't know if I don't just do it out of habit. Not that I ever think something good or bad is gonna happen, I just do them. They are just things I do. It's kinda of like being polite. lol

Pick up pennies...yes, oh and knock on wood because my head is very handy. BTW, don't you wish you had a dollar for every penny you've pick up?

Pamy, I had you in more of the touching wood category as opposed to running circles around a car.

Not really. I am on my second black cat who crosses my path many times a day, mom was born on Friday the 13th.. I never learned to bless someone if they sneezed (leave that up to god), open umbrellas in the house, walk under ladders on the rare occasions when one is in my path..

I don't believe in any superstitions (but it is a conscious effort on my part not to - I can see why people do at times).

Good Morning and welcome to Tuesday everyone! Well looks like most of you don't believe in superstitions, although a bunch of you were touching wood. Not sure what that was all about! Today's question idea came from my little sister. She was talking about how there are plenty of things that she will buy on sale, but there are a few things that she will only buy the name brand or top of the line products regardless of the price. So, today's question is: What are some things that you buy, regardless of the price? I thought of a couple. I only buy Tide. There are a lotta cheaper laundry detergents out there, but I love Tide, so I will buy it even though it is usually more expensive. I will only buy Jif peanut butter. I will only buy Campbells soup.
