Are the following things true? and how?!


Question: my mom has been insisting that i dont do certain things such as:
1. dont drink a mixture of hot and cold water (its somehow bad for me)
2. dont sleep with your hair wet (supposedly if i do it a lot, i will get massive headaches when im old)
3. dont drink orange juice after you've drank milk (i suspect the acidity of the oj will mess with the milk or something, but wouldn't stomach acid do the same thing?)
4. dont dream about anything good (supposedly the opposite will always happen)

Are any of these true? if so how?

if i remember anymore, i'll add them

none of these are true

no, these are not true

sleepin with wet hair does give headaches cos it makes your heads cold. dont know why drinkin orange juice after milk makes you sick but it does! don;t think the others are true somehow..

1. That is ridiculous. A mixture of both is simply warm water.
2. Absurd. Though if its cold in your room, cold wet hair could cause you to catch a cold. Headaches when you're old? Umm, no.
3. You are correct, the stomach acid does the same thing anyway. Nothing wrong with this besides things like sour cream are in a sense curdled milk and theres nothing wrong it.
4. As if you can actually control your dreams. I do notice that when I have a really sweet dream I'll wake up to a horrible day and vice versa. Maybe the subconcious is like a polar opposite of the concious.

i have never heard of any of those ...not from my mother or any other mother. is she/you from another country besides the u.s.?
those are pretty funny though :)

Old wives tales...

she may be your mom but she is frakin nuts thats like saying dont put ice cubes in a glass or room tempatuer water or with the wet hair thing thats like saying if i dont dry off after swimming ill be really wrinkley when i am older or orange juice and milk well that one just sounds nasty but milk is viteamen d oj is viteamen c thats like saying dont take a multi viteamen and dont dream about anything good well **** if your mom can tell me how to controll my dreams id like to know how i can have one with a thousand naked virgins and no i wont change my faith to islam lol

Im sorry i havent heard of any of these bf. interesting
