Damnit...

I just broke a mirror.

That 7 years bad luck thing *is* just on old wives tale - right?

Take a handfull of salt and throw it over your left shoulder to ward off the evil.


Or is it the right shoulder.



Aw, hell. Do both.

I think the 7 years bad luck thing only works if you believe it! :p I deliberately walk under ladders and pick up gloves all the time and it's never done me any harm.

Dad broke a mirror a few years ago and I'm sure he'll assure you he hasn't had abnormally bad luck since.

That's working only as the Self-fulfilling prophecy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy, especially if you believe it.

I say treat it as a wish of 7 good years, why not? :D

As others said - I ignore all these superstitions, they never do any harm to me :)

What a fun they made with spitting on crossings XD

if you think you're going to have bad luck, it will come to you.

Just forget about it, and replace the mirror.

*hugs*

Self fulfilling prophecy, yes - but if you'd feel better doing something about it, the correct thing is to bury the pieces in the garden. Just after the full moon is a good time.

Didn't cut yourself did you? That's where the real bad luck comes into it, lol.

*hugs*

Oh please, you'll just have pissy elves to deal with until you get a new one. Rumil is already muttering about not visiting until you do, as he likes to look at himself ...well, his butt you know!

It's only real if you let it be. Your luck is what you make of it.

Don't worry! Just glue it back together, you'll be fine...

I have broken so many mirrors that i would be in for about a million years bad luck! But then again I like to tempt fate lol Hugs Binky x

ok as per rules, I am commenting on your latest entry to say I added you as my friend but since you *know* me and I'm not a stalkerish type or serial friender... I think I can say pweeetty pwease with a cherry on top may I be your friend? :D

and yes, I think its an old wives tale, just like those black kitties crossing the street in front of you on friday the 13th as you walk under a ladder. ^_^
