    A good reminder that people ages ago were not ignorant. They were much more observant than we are today but they just did not have the technical means to test ideas. They understood how things worked even if they didn't understand the why.

    • @sinsofmemphisto7809
      @sinsofmemphisto7809 4 місяці тому

      People from "ages ago" weren't stupid. However they were ignorant of so much that we now know that it's amazing. I once had a patient say "these old remedies have been used for hundreds of years so they must have worth." when defending some ridiculous superstitious cure. I pointed out that hundreds of years ago the average life expectancy was around 30. They didn't consider this, they just got angry. Secondly, notice how many of these aren't actually proven correct by science. They just boil down to 'if your really invested in this ludicrous idea then following it may lessen your anxiety or stress. That's far from saying trixidecaphobia means Friday the 13th is statistically more dangerous or that throwing salt over your shoulder, crossing your fingers, or knocking on wood has any affect on the real world other than in your perceptions. Walking under a ladder, OTOH, I understand.

      The phases of the moon do not change the gravitational pull on the tide. The Moon is always the same size, regardless of how much light is shining on it. Therefore, it would have the same effect on the earth whether a full moon or just a sliver.

I can still feel when there is moisture in the air or when it's really cold, usually before any weather comes in. The older I've gotten, the less it happens, but it still does.

    Dreaming of my teeth falling out used to happen to me a LOT in my 30's, when I was pursuing my career. After I quit working and took on a much more relaxed lifestyle, those dreams stopped. It's horrifying to dream about spitting out your teeth into your hand, and will wake you up in a cold sweat, unable to go back to sleep. So yes, I associate dreaming of losing teeth with extreme stress in reality. Also, on the rare occasion I now have that dream, it is during stress.

      Absolutely NOT. 😡 DST when it starts and stops is a much needed reminder to do important things nobody remembers to do otherwise. MOST people check their smoke and CO detectors, change batteries in detectors and emergency flashlights etc, check expiration dates and replenish emergency kits, change furnace filters, and more. The clocks in vehicles lose time, and generally require being changed by 1 hour and 1-5 minutes at each changeover. Remove these reminders and such things will be neglected even more. If you aren't using DST like this, you're the problem. Remember, the shorter days during standard time won't feel any longer if DST stays year-round, and there are actually psychological benefits to the already longer days being lined up better during the DST switch.

It was absolutely hilarious cause she full pelt ran at it. The door was so clean she didn’t realise. She left a line of dribble or snot behind in the door. So so funny.

Well, my friend and I were sitting in the living room when his older sister came into the house. Suddenly, we heard the scampering of claws on linoleum as the cat came scampering out of the kitchen in a white blur, racing like there was no tomorrow through the dining room, through the living room...and right into the sliding glass door with a resounding WHAM! Apparently, the cat had heard the sliding door open but not close again. Fun times!

    Hi Mike! I once had a severe case of hiccups that made it almost impossible to talk, eat, sleep or sleep. After several days, and trying every home remedy imaginable, I called my doctor. He said he would call in a prescription for me, and when I picked it up I saw it was for Thorazine, a powerful anti psychotic! I asked the pharmacist if there was a mistake, and he said no, that it is sometimes used for that. Anyway, I went home, took one and in half an hour the hiccups were gone. For some reason, the prescription was for 60 tablets, that left me with 59 tabs which I kept just in case the hiccups ever got out of hand again, or I encountered a schizophrenic in need of meds.😅

    In regards to number 15 - horseshoes...... You are correct about the superstition coming from the Celts however, in regards to hanging them in the house, when they would build their house, they would nail a horseshoe on every side of the house then finish the inside walls along with hanging a horseshoe above each door. The reason behind this was not because it was a horseshoe but instead it was a piece of iron which had a hole already in it for shoeing a horse. The Celts believed that the Faye could not enter their homes because the touch of iron could burn or if struck could kill a Faye. As it was believed that since the Faye were from another realm where no iron existed, that iron weapons or anything made from iron could stop the Faye.
    The only reason I know this is because I had to write a paper regarding the superstitions/myths of what is now considered Europe during my advanced Comp and Literature during my 3rd year of college back in the 1970's.
    So yeah, you could say my professor was pretty hip (as in a hippie - no joke!). Matter of fact when you mentioned something that astounded him or you wrote a paper he really enjoyed reading, he would say "Far out man!" And would normally give us the peace sign as we were leaving the class. He was a really cool and righteous dude! He actually made learning fun! Also when you wanted to talk to him during his office hours, you would have to go outside and walk to the secluded area he hung out at, there he would usually be smoking a joint and offering to share it with any of his students that came to see him. I just remember that during those office visits, the discussions were both wild and extremely interesting!! I certainly wish there were far more professors like him! He really cared about all of his students and would ensure that no one struggled in any of his classes! Because he would help the individuals who were having issues comprehending or if there were several students he would stop the lesson and break the class up into groups ensuring that every student who was having problems were assigned to groups where there would be several students who could help explain it in a manner that they (struggling students) may grasp easier. The only way you could fail his class is if you did not put the effort into his class! I asked him about why he does that at the end of my 4th year and he told me that he felt that if a student was trying and was failing his class that it was not the student who was failing but actually it was him as the professor that was failing because he somehow didn't connect with that student and provide the information in a manner that connected with the student.
    So, Professor Bill, you wild, crazy and caring man..... I truly hope the rest of your life after I left college was wonderful and that you were maintained that "Free love along with your willingness to go above and beyond to connect with people, especially all of the students who were lucky enough to have had you as an advisor and or a professor! The way you cared for everyone of your students education was truly magical! Perhaps Professor Bill you really may have been part of the Faye yourself!! R.I.P.
