Re: [Cz-L] more on "angsts"

Thank you Shulamit for joining,
You write :
"He also had an odd superstition - if he sewed an article of clothing while
I was wearing it, he made me chew a piece of thread.
 Has anyone heard of that?"

  If I know this practice ? You must be laughing.
   I have chewed thread everytime some sewing was done on my clothes.
   I also know of dreadful cosequences that occurred to people
   who disregarded this precaution.

       Their minds were sewn-up and they were left feeble- minded
   for the rest of their life.
    All this could easily be avoided by a little thread-chewing.
