I pick-up a penny whether it’s heads up or tails up. As far as I’m concerned, it’s one less penny I’m in debt.

“When I see a UFO, I always think its a government plot.”

UFO aliens are the same. They want to meet us but are deathly fearful they may run into a government official.

“A thinly veiled anti-Catholic hit piece by the liberal Jewish lead author of the study”.

I actually thought that but then I thought if I typed it out loud...

I am sure the cats hide the shards and bring them out when they see my shamefully naked tootsies.

I happen to fit the demo of the least superstitious, and I'm not at all superstitious. I can associate the number 13 with many positives in my long life, I've broken a few mirrors, and several other things. I'm still here and doing just fine.

If I had to guess who among us were the most superstitious, I'd say most athletes and most, if not all, folks who believe in astrology.

I will pick up any coins I see on the ground. I save them up in a jar and at the end of the month, cash them in on groceries. I used to be able to pay for my weeks worth with that. Now not so much.

I used to do the same, except I applied the change to my mortgage every time I came up with an extra $50.00.

Superstitions Americans believe:

1. The police will protect you from criminals.
2. Police never lie.
3. Vaccines are all safe and effective.
4. Electric cars are better for the environment than gas powered cars.

I really don’t want to be associated with Hillary Clinton or be a whitehouse chef... That said, I am kinda ready to have it out with the demons that are protecting child predators and compromising folks with Satanic Rituals... Kinda time to just roll... Why are guys like Andrew McCabe and Bill Barr wiling to protect pedophile satan worshipers... Do you guys have a soul, or are you dead inside. What do those two think God is going to say to them when their time on earth is over? And what is driving Lisa Monico? Is there anyone currently working in our Government who actually loves their fellow man. Anyone?

These “superstitions” are just folkways. People don’t “believe” in them. They go through the motions because the folkways provide a way of interacting with people. What’s birthday without a cake, candles, and a wish?

Nope, it's debt, not money.
