#is it a superstition

[hyperromanticisation]

Is there an expiry date on making a wish on a rainbow? And by that I don't mean "am I supposed to outgrow wishing on rainbows", but "how long do I have for my wish to come true"?

#wish making #wishes #see a rainbow make a wish #see a shooting star make a wish #wish fulfilment #birthday candles wish #when you wish upon a star #or an eyelash #or a passing lorry carrying hay #what is up with that #is it a superstition #beliefs are weird #making wishes is weird #tossing coins in a fountain #what else do people wish on

(common superstitions from the perspective of a USAmerican- would love to hear superstitions from other regions and cultures!)

(follow the most often when the situation arises, or believe in the strongest)

Where and when to view the Superstition Mountains cougar shadow

If you want to see this phenomenon in person, head to the vicinity of Superstition Blvd and Goldfield Road in Apache Junction for a relatively unobstructed view.

Timing is critical. The cougar only appears during the third week of March and September.

The last 30 minutes before official sunset is prime time for viewing.

As you would expect February 29th is a bit bereft of anniversaries, but did you know..........

Anyone born on this day is said to be unlucky in Scottish culture, and referred to as “Leaplings.” True, they don’t get to celebrate many birthdays, but to make things worse, Scottish tradition adds on another layer by saying that leaplings are doomed to a lifetime of “untold suffering.” They also consider leap years as doomed for farmers, as the saying goes: “Leap year was never a good sheep year.”

Ithink we all know that it is the day of the year a lady can traditionally propose toher man, but in Scotland women intending to propose are advised to wear a red petticoat visible to their love – perhaps to give them fair warning! ;) Tradition also stated that any man who refused a Leap Day proposal should be issued with a fine, which could range from money to silk gowns.

If you are trying to work out the math on what you're exact age would be if you were born on February 29th, then you are in luck.

Not me seeing the clock that was sent to Zheng Yi Sao and immediately my inner Chinese auntie knew she should throw that clock away. And I was right!!!

For context, it's chinese superstition not to give clocks as gifts because giving clocks (送钟 songzhong) sounds like paying respects at a funeral (送终 songzhong). And basically giving people clocks is like wishing death upon them.

Me @ Zheng Yi Sao: You see, you see? This is what you get when you don't listen to Chinese superstition.

I generally consider myself a fairly grounded person, but when I manage to biff a dice roll with an 85% chance of success seven times in a row, I can't help but start to wonder.
