Koreans believe that, if you wash your hair, you wash the luck from your body. If this were true, and I’m revealing a lot about my personal hygiene, I would’ve already won three consecutive lotteries and I’d be dating Jessica Alba.

People from India believe that if you spill some milk at a housewarming that this is good luck; but, spilling milk before a wedding denotes bad tidings. So, if you accidentally spill some milk before a wedding, you should immediately find a vacant apartment, move in and invite friends over.

For the Japanese, good fortune can come through Maneki Neko, the lucky money cat doll. Having one in your house may not bring a lot of money but you’ll be better off than if you had purchased a real cat.

The Chinese think that eating a whole fish on Lunar New Year will bring lots of luck as it has to so many pelicans everywhere.

Horseshoes are considered lucky by the Poles and English, IF they are turned upwards. If it opens down, that’s bad luck. If your luck goes from good to bad to good to bad, check to see if your horse is falling downstairs.

In many parts of the world it is considered lucky to touch a chimney sweep… although, I think that rumor might’ve been started by lonely chimney sweeps…

The ancient Romans felt that seeing white rats was a good omen. It was a better omen if an odd number of white rats were seen. What’s an odd number? Eleventy-million and one hundred and dog are pretty odd.
☺
Ladybugs are considered lucky by a LOT of cultures; but, from what I understand, all their good luck comes with ironic bad luck afterwards… like when you inherit a million dollars and then go to a diner to celebrate and accidentally order the two million dollar omelet.
☺
Greeks believe pomegranates are good luck… because in Greece, luck has a LOT of seeds.

Several cultures think a rabbit’s foot is good luck. Some keep one on their key-chain, which is pretty barbaric, if you think about it. Kind of like stapling a horse’s face to your hat or something. Is a rabbit’s foot lucky? Well, just before it was caught, lightly killed and dismembered, the rabbit had four of them.

Lucky money cat doll?
Wonder if I could paint Dudley white, hang some bells from his feet and watch the money roll in?

If you do, you’ll have to share photos of the process and tell us what kind of paint you ended up using…

I wish I had a rabbit’s foot before i caught Covid recently. I probably would have avoided Covid, which kept me from keeping up with your blog posts, which is a fate worse than death (although rabbits everywhere would no doubt disagree).

Have you gotten over the cough part, yet? It lasted over a month for me…

If you turn your head and cough, it gets better faster.

Yes, but coughing wasn’t the worst of it (like brain fog and lack of energy). I still tire more readily, but it’s more mental than physical tiredness, probably because I’m still dealing with other issues.

This post raised more questions than it answered. Please help. 1) If I wash my hair but don’t rinse well, can I absorb the good luck through my skin? 2) If I spill milk at a housewarming, should I cry for joy? If I cry at weddings, should I avoid spilling milk so as not to cry over spilled milk? 3) If my horse shoe falls off of the wall and lands on my head, does that bring good luck or bad, or does it depend on which way it was hanging? Or which way it hit me? 4) Is the good luck from touching a chimney sweep for me or the sweep? Does it depend where I touch him? (I watched part of Mary Poppins so I thought I only had to shake hands with him.) 5) If eating a whole fish brings good luck, what does being eaten whole by a fish bring? Asking for my friend Jonah. 6) If luck involves lots of seeds, should I stop eating seedless grapefruits and grapes? 7) My rabbit walks funny with three feet, He doesn’t seem to feel lucky.

The next step is, of course, to try each of these yourself and tell us if you ended up with Jessica Alba.

I tried all of them and I think it was the rabbit’s foot that inspired Jessica Alba to come to my house and tell me that it was disgusting that I had a rabbit’s foot.
