It is where someone believes something will work, therefore it does. I am not an expert on that, but look it up. That may be the reason why some people do or do not do somethings (ie beleiving haunted houses are really haunted). <BR/><BR/>In response to you bloodsweat, I am a fairly superstitious person. Being that I have been doing this post for a while now, I have noticed a few more superstitions and tried to adhear to them. I do not get too wrapped up, but at the same time, I do respect them.Fedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602873323027273417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577291780973603240.post-20581414426398646252008-11-13T14:55:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:55:00.000-08:00You present many very interesting "facts".

Although superstition is something that you can have fun with, how much of it do you really think is true?Bloodsweatnofearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471758651989613987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577291780973603240.post-17211294372268280002008-11-13T14:50:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:50:00.000-08:00Another really interesting blog.

You have great information. What about haunted areas in the present day? Would people's fear of going near them be relevant to your topic? Just curious because a bunch of my friends and I decided to go to a "haunted house" and it was only scary because we thought it would be. Funny how expectations can actually make things be that way. Anyways as far as Veteran's Day and the Marine Corps birthday thank you for your service. Every person serving the country is admirable and should be proud of their contribution.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476051120708012201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577291780973603240.post-26050250784346039952008-11-13T13:15:00.000-08:002008-11-13T13:15:00.000-08:00wow, that was alot of info.

I believe that they had it way worse than I did in Iraq and thank them for the freedom that I now have the privlidge of protecting today. <BR/><BR/>I had no idea that there were so many superstitions in the armed forces. I knew about the flag and tapping your mag on your kpot. <BR/><BR/>But what I really enjoyed was how you broke down the 21 gun salute. I knew that it was the greatist honor that any service member can recieve but did not know that there was so much to it.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed reading your blog and look forward to reading your other entries.RYNOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099511791019796538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577291780973603240.post-13896975749722243972008-11-13T07:50:00.000-08:002008-11-13T07:50:00.000-08:00Wow!

Your research and knowledge of the Corps is really strong here. <BR/><BR/>Just a small note: at the top of the entry you call veterans "vetrian," twice...don't forget to run that spell-checker. Otherwise, excellent post.Julie P.Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08903299904855079153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577291780973603240.post-86218951762534319662008-11-11T21:07:00.000-08:002008-11-11T21:07:00.000-08:00Ok...been trying all night.

I also agree that women are more believe when it comes to this topic. Just an example about myself, I used to be a person when I woke up in morning my first thing was to look for paper and then get on internet for different sites to read my horoscope and then think about all the things were said on that day. I would make sure how I was doing things everyday and whether they match with my horoscope. But after sometime I got tired of this stuff and didn’t really follow along. I still very morning glance through paper to read and every now and then things happen the way they were described in daily horoscope. <BR/>I also want to tell you that I am not in military but it is very close to my heart just because back home my grandfather and my uncle severed different branches of military and now my fiancé is serving in United States navy for more than six years. So I can relate myself to this respectful day as well.<BR/>Take care and Happy 233rd Birthday to all the Marines out there!nahmedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351939612240238425noreply@blogger.com
