In reply to Is there a cure for constant bad luck?, posted by Wildflower on October 16, 2003, at 8:55:28
I've heard it said that you make your own luck too. When I was doing a lot of lab work, I noticed that I tended to break glassware when I was in a bad mood. That made sense to me - not paying attention. But I dunno - I'm not sure state of mind explains your clothes getting wrecked in the washer.....
Do you also get some good luck to at least balance out the bad?
> I wasn't a superstitious person but now I might become one. I broke a very large mirror moving into my apartment 2.5 years ago and things haven't been the same since. My co-workers joke about my constant bad luck. A friend of mine even bought me a lucky bamboo plant for my b-day to try to help me. Ironically enough, my cat knocked it off the shelf that night. It's in one piece but I took it as a sign.

Oh yes, how can I forget the most recent incident - I just broke a huge chunk of tooth off this morning on a bagel. Maybe I would be better if I just followed my instinct and stayed in bed every day.
