Mirror help required pls

[Chalkie]

1. Now it is common knowledge that breaking a mirror results in bad luck for some 7 yrs!

Is this correct, a myth/old wives tale or what?

2. If one breaks a mirror and burys it face down in garden this is supposed nullify the bad luck by somehow shining the devil back into the earths core.

Is this the way to deal with breaking the mirror?

If so what if you live in an apartment without a garden? Does placing the mirror upside down in an unobtrusive part of your balcony then work or is this relative to who lives below?

Is this ruling about bad luck and mirrors unfair to people without a garden? Also how would this be effected if the devil lives upstairs? Would one then need to face the mirror upwards?

3. If one breaks a 2nd mirror some 12 months after breaking the original mirror is this construed as 14 yrs bad luck in total or does it negate the original 7 yrs bad luck working on the principles that 2 negatives make a positive?

Could breaking the second mirror actually give you 14 yrs good luck?

Obviously the rule would have to take into account whether the 2nd mirror was broken purposely or not and a purposefull breakage would have to be dissallowed from the final ruling.

4. What if the second break was of the same mirror which was still used due to the first break being relatively small thus allowing continued use of the said mirror?

5. Would the fact that the 2nd breakage resulted in the mirror falling and landing in the toilet be of any consequence on any rulings made above? Would flushing a small chard of the broken mirror down said toilet be the same as burying the mirror in the first place?

6. Should i just hideaway for 14 yrs and never buy another mirror?

I really don't think you need to worry Paul, lowering caffine should help.

Years ago, (1999) I was working in a door mfg plant. I worked in the bi-fold door shop and one of my tasks was making mirrored bifold door, they shipped the mirrors to be cut in wooden crates with about 200 or so sheets of mirrors in them.

I was in process of moving a crate with the fork lift and the load shifted, send the lot of them against the load brace of the lift truck. I believe I broke around 30 sheets of mirrors. So how many years and generations have I cursed???

Maybe that is why in the past 2.5 years I have had:

2 heart attacks
2 knee surgeries
2 back surgeries
1 eye surgery
1 eye injury.

Ahhh, now I know where the bad luck came from. I forgot all about those danged mirrors I broke. Ok, I am off to start shoveling, many mirrors to hide.

P.s. The possibility of good luck figures in as I re-married in 2000 to the best, if not most patient person in the world.

Ive broken many mirrors and the luck runs concurrent like a prison sentence. Dont worry, after the first 7 years you get use to it anyway.

I thought to reverse the bad luck from breaking a mirror you had to throw it over your left shoulder into a river?

Superstitions are funny things.. The only ones I have are not to walk under a ladder and never wash the soccer/softball/football socks during season - it's bad luck.

Edit: I lie. I have another - buying cutlery as a wedding/engagement gift is bad luck for the receivers.

I never heard that one about the mirrors in the river....lol

Since my mother's side of the family was Pennsylvania Dutch I grew up around much superstition though....lol

My practical advice is to forgot about it after some days and you'll sure won't get any bad luck from that. It's because if you forgot about your mirror and experience some bad luck, you'll never know it's from the broken mirrors effect.
