    The Lore Of Certain Days
    21-7-38
    The Luckiest day to go into a house is on a Monday. The unluckiest day is on a Friday.
    The potatoes should be sowed before Saint Patricks day or they would not grow very well.
    The days for getting married are
    Monday for wealth
    Tuesday for health
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for crosses
    Friday for losses
    Saturday no day at all.
    Sneeze on Monday sneeze for danger
    Sneeze on Tuesday you'll kiss a stranger
    Sneeze on Wednesday sneeze for joy
