Old Wive's Tales

[Jim]

Wives tales about coming into money:

Itchy left palm means you are going to get money.

Sneezing 3 times in a row means you're going to get money.

The sneezing one applies when you're pregnant as well I think. Once for a girl, twice for a boy?

So... if you sneeze, you're pregnant?

Feed a cold, starve a fever.

When you have a sore throat, sock a wool sock/scarf in rubbing alcohol and wrap your throat overnight.

For earaches, wrap an onion poultice in wool, and hold it against your ear overnight.

Those aren't old wives' tales, your mom was just trolling you. Be thankful you weren't reared in the age of Facebook and Instagram.

Hey, some people swear by the above. The onion poultice draws out the "toxins" in your ear. Apparently.

If a tick attaches itself to you or an animal, light a match, blow it out and put the hot tip to the butt. The tick will retreat.
