Quote HistoryQuoted: When I was a kid (8 - 10), my 1'st generation, raised on a farm Polish grandmother used to live with us. I was always bringing some kind of critter home... turtles, frogs, baby birds, a baby squirrel. My mom and grandma were always fine with it until one day I brought home a tiny 5" - 6" DeKay's snake My mother was cool with it but granny freaked out yelling that I couldn't keep it here, get rid of it, etc. Her reason... it would escape and would crawl up someones rectum while they were sleeping.  Needless to say I had to let the thing go.  I bet Grandpa was a dirty old man to Granny while she slept......................

Quote HistoryQuoted: You reminded me of the "r rule" for oysters. You can only eat oysters in the months that end in the letter r. That reminds me of the saying you can only eat wild rabbits in months that have an R in them. So no rabbits May-August. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Another one I always heard was if you're stuck at a traffic light in the middle of the night and flash your high beams on and off, you'll trick it into thinking you're an ambulance with the lights on and it'll turn to green. That works, at least in my experience. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Having just endured a bad case of poison ivy, and finished a Prednisone steroid taper to end it, I can tell you that in the last month I have heard every idiotic "home remedy" under the sun. The epic, Bubba-ized, dumb-assery of MOST of them is astonishing, and confirms all my previously held beliefs about the epidemic of dumb-assery in America. Sample: "Scrub your skin with bleach!" Uhhh, no. Once urushiol oil has sunk into the pores of your skin, "scrubbing your skin with bleach" is NOT "going to remove it." Your poor skin has enough problems without causing MORE irritation to it. Please, just stop. jewel weed is the cure for poison ivy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You are like Super susceptible to any illness after getting Innoculated during A certain period That’s just how our immune system works Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I got the flu from the flu shot. Oddly, I’ve had the flu every year I’ve had the flu shot but none of the years I haven’t had the flu shot. The only year I got the flu was the only year I got hte shot. RN for 24 years...fuck the shots. SAME. Last time I got the flu shot, I got the flu 2 days later and was in the middle of moving. Later on, I wound up working with a former CDC scientist, they refused to get the flu shot as well. Stated that their best guess of what the prevailing strain that season was usually wrong and explained what the vaccine actually is. (weakened flu bug with formaldehyde). You are like Super susceptible to any illness after getting Innoculated during A certain period That’s just how our immune system works Why bother then?.....let your immune system do the work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Try telling either group "It sure has been quiet tonight". Ha ha- have seen this happen (I was blamed, as I said it usually). Worst example was roll call, and as soon as I said something about it being a quiet day (x-mas eve) we had a fatal crash call come in. (One drunk driver hit another drunk driver). But the full moon thing seemed to be total BS, however some things did make it a crazier night: holidays, Fridays/Saturdays, temperatures, school out, etc. Basically- July-early Sept, when it is hot as hell, on a Friday or Saturday night, it was gonna be crazy and busy, regardless of what the moon was doing… |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Storing batteries on the ground is bad for them I got into a small argument with my parents over this one day fixing their lawn mower. Caved and just put it on a piece of newspaper....Yup, thats all they wanted, a couple layers of grocery store ads was what was going to make the difference My father absolutely convinced my mother it was going to kill the battery otherwise. She freaked out when she went out to the garage and found it on the floor No amount of truth of today will convince them this isn't 1950, so I play along and put it on the literally 2 sheets of newspaper |

I guess I've been dead for decades. Quoted: Used to mess with my mom as a teen. I'd open umbrellas in the house. She got shivering mad/scared when i did that. I know fear of open umbrellas in a house is stupid, but i felt sorry about upsetting her later on. Miss you sorely, Mom. Literally did that earlier today. My mom said, "Don't open it in the house, it's bad luck." Me: "I don't believe that crap" and proceeded to open it. And all the years I've asked "How/why is it bad luck", the only answer I've ever gotten was "It just is". |

A FL specific fudd-lore old wives tale told by Vietnam era Green Beret Navy SEALs at the gun shops.
You can only carry a handgun in your car if there is a three step rule involved. Meaning you have to have it in a thumb-strapped holster, in a zippered case, in the glove box. Anything else is illegal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The full moon makes for crazy people. I'm convinced that this one is true. I think most people in LE, teaching, or medicine may have seen a few things that could convince them of this. I think I’ve seen some studies supporting a correlation between higher crime rates and full moons. The hypothesis is that full moons disrupt normal circadian rhythms and melatonin production. Full moons can also affect women’s ovulation cycles. |
