Nails at night

I have been faced with an obstacle course full of some very challenging ordeals; one of them right now being that I have a nail on my left index finger that is torn/ broken past the quick making it difficult to type. My nails are long and they are mine (not store bought in a crystal gel nail salon), they are hard and seldom break. When they do give they give at the softest part, the quick. I could not cut it last night because cutting your nails at night is bad luck or bad omen. I forgot about it this morning until I came down here for tea.

* Some say hunger and poverty will enter a house if someone cuts their nails at night. (Afghanistan)

*Nails should not be cut at night for fear of evil spirits (India)

* Don’t cut your nails at night because it will cause death.  A reason for the nail-cutting superstition is that you shouldn’t turn a blade (even a small one as on a nail-clipper) towards yourself at night because it brings demons closer to you. (Japan)

* If you cut your nails at night it falls into the food of God.  (Hindu superstition.)

*If you cut your nails at night, some animals like mice will eat your nails, and then they'll become you or they'll take your spirit. (Korea)

It is rainy this morning and there is a chill in the air. Wonderful! I want to put on fuzzy socks and make muffins. Lady Tamara www.LochaberHighlandEstates.com is off to the kitchen.
