    Share Share Post
    Feet - There is a man named John Rice (70) of Glashivy who never wore shoes yet. He thinks that he will never have luck if he puts on shoes.
    Some children go barefooted all the year round. Others do so in summer only.
    Feet water - If there are flowers growing at the door you should spray it on them
    Hacks on feet - Wash in potato water.
    If you throw feet water in one place always continue to do so until you leave that house.
