[Cz-L] On Topic, Off Topic.

A glass placed upside down works! Definitely! I use it, my children use it,
my friends use it and it is the only way to find something which you have
lost!
I really cannot explain how it works - maybe it's purely psychological,
something that our parents have instilled in us, or maybe the act of turning

a glass upside down prods our memory - I really don't know!

I remember I once looked for a pair of lost gloves and I just wanted to find

out if I can find them without the upturned glass. It was no good;they had
simply disappeared. So I finally gave in and turned the glass upside down,
immediately afterwards I opened my fridge and there they were! Two gloves!
Why I put them there? If I remember right I had just come back from a
marketing trip and I put fruit and vegetables into the fridge.
along went the gloves! Without the glass I would never have thought of
looking into the fridge!
Now I dare anyone to doubt this!
Shabat Shalom, Lucca

Hi about czernowitzer superstitions...both my grandmother and mother had

a fixed belief that if you lost or misplaced something you were sure to find

it if you placed a glass upside down under a table. I have no idea if this
ever helped except we all knew where to find missing glasses! cornel
