The way you remove the evil eye is by moving a handful of salt around their heads three times before throwing it out. I may or may not ask her to do this for them sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-superstitious-3#post-1933358 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:09:41 +0000 .twist. 1933358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: haha yea, and only if available. hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-superstitious-3#post-1933356 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:08:39 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1933356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: That's pretty wild! :silly: Any specific one (like walking under ladders)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-superstitious-3#post-1933330 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:46:45 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1933330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Yeah...but I think somehow it still makes me feel better? :wink: I think it's just another way of saying "here's hoping" and letting it go...because really, sadly, we only have so much control in this life. :meh:</p> <p>ETA: Hooray for the power of suggestion (and optimism)! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-superstitious-3#post-1933323 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:42:43 +0000 Anya 1933323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: I say those things too but it's more a figure of speech than an actual belief </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-superstitious-3#post-1933322 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:42:06 +0000 Cherrybee 1933322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not at all.
