Piglets thread just reminded me of all the old wives tales we were told as kids or those that the old people (and some of us
) still swear by. ie.....
heartburn during pregnancy = baby with lots of hair.
eating chocolate during pregnancy = baby with bad skin.
if the wind changes direction while you are pulling a funny face, your face will stay like that.
touch a frog and you'll get warts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a full moon affects woman
any more????
if you sit on a table you won't get a husband. I made a point of sitting on tables and I did get a husband!
Full moon affects me, that's for sure. I am more restless when the moon is full. If I'm having a bad night sleeping it happens far more often when there's a full moon.
Hospitals also report a lot more more accidents and personal assaults happen during full moon.
