Fiberbabe said : Bright lights actually *suppress* the sneeze reflex in me
Me too. If I feel a sneeze coming on I stare (wide eyes)at a bright light and for a split second it makes me want to sneeze even more BUT if you keep eyes open the urge immediately goes away!!
Then there's the old superstition about sneezes;
Once is a wish -
Twice is a kiss -
Three times is a letter -
Four times is something better !
I figure more than four sneezes - all in a row - means a letter with more than the money you need, plus a kiss inside!
