I remember these -If you tell what you had just dreamt, before you ate breakfast it would come true( uusally that applied to nightmares) and don't tell a wish you make with your birthday candles or it won't come true.

I've heard most of these too, but about getting rid of warts, my grandmother had one on her hand when she was a little girl. Her mother told her to steal a dishrag and bury it. She did it and the wart went away.
She also believed in unborn babies being marked. When I'm stressed, there is a spot on my forehead that gets red. She says I was marked when my dad threw a wadded up paper at her and it hit my mother in that exact spot on her head.
An itch on the inside of your right hand means you will shake hands with a stranger; if on the left hand means you will come into some money.
A whistling woman comes to no good.
When you get a chill, someone just walked over your grave.
Picking up a penny off the ground with heads up means good luck.
Seven years bad luck if you break a mirror.
If a baby walks before it crawls, at some age it will crawl. (I know a lady who believes it because her daughter crawled everywhere when she turned 12 years of age, but not as a baby.)
It's bad luck for a woman to go into a mine. (My uncle believed that. I walked into his mine and a few weeks after, it collapsed on a miner and broke a lot of his bones.)
It's bad luck if you thank someone for giving you a potted plant.
A cricket in the house is good luck.
My grandmother had scads of these, but this is all I remember.

If you have alot of gas when your pregnant it means your baby will have a full head of hair.
Sing before breakfast and you'll be crying by nightfall.
My dad did the milk weed thing for warts...
Was told you never take a bath during your time of the month or you'll bleed to death in the bath tub.
If your nose itches it means companys comming.
If you suck your thumb you'll get buck teeth.
A cricket in your house is good luck and if you kill it, bad luck will follow.
Dad used to carry a buck-eye in his pocket because it was said you'd never go broke if you kept it there.(Could carry one around in your purse too)
Rabbits foot was for good luck.
Eat a tablespoon of Vicks salve if you have chest congestion.
There were a ton of them...just can't remember them all besides all the ones already mentioned.

Don't make that face, you'll freeze that way. Step on a crack you'll break your mothers back.. Wish upon a star andyour wish will come true. A red moon meant that the devil was coming. That one scared me for years. Eavesdroppers deserve what they hear.

I had a wart on my knee when I was 7. My Nan told me to rub the inside of a broad bean pod over it and then bury the pod in the garden, secretly. Believe it or not my wart vanished. I can't remember how long it took but it definitely disappeared.

OK, here goes-
If the baby has diaper rash put a stalk of tobacco on the seat of his diaper when he's sleeping. (I still have a pic of my brother in this state) :)
Rub a wart with half a potato and bury the other half and it will fall off. (This works!)
Rub Vicks Salve on your bottom to prevent gas????
(Drink enough whiskey to get drunk after you do this because you'll need it!)
Don't eat strawberries while expecting because it'll mark your baby
If you touch a toad you'll get warts...false.
We were a scarey family.

Don't let a black cat cross your path; don't walk under a ladder; don't open an umbrella indoors; don't give anyone pearls because you'll be giving them tears; if you spill salt, throw some over your shoulder.......I think the other folks covered the rest.

My Aunt used to tell me that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, the vine would grow out of my ears.
Maybe that's why my left ear is almost deaf.

If you spank the monkey too much, you'll have hairy palms.
Step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back.
If you spill salt, take a pinch and throw it over your shoulder.
Cats have nine lives.
This one, I really hope is true:
All dogs, go to heaven.
