Quick! Anyone here got something I can do to turn my luck around?

[arbusto_baboso]

Not to go into gory details or whine, but I've had grotesquely shitty luck in pretty much every facet of my life so far in 2010. How can I change that?

[proteus_lives]

1. Lotto tickets.

[arbusto_baboso]

2. Pfft. They cost money. Next!

[HopeHoops]

3. Rub the head of the garden gnome in the office fridge and moon a Republican within 12 hours.

Works for me.

[arbusto_baboso]

6. Hmm.

Okay, where was that gnome you wanted me to moon, again?

[kayakjohnny]

4. Do everything opposite to how you normally do it.

I saw George Castanza do it once and it worked like a charm. No pun intended.

[arbusto_baboso]

5. So, beer for breakfast, and go to the gym before work?

I like the idea, but there could be some logistical issues.

[orion007]

7. Give away all your belongings to everyone you don't like n/t

Worked like a charm the 10x I did it....lol

good luck

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. Beer for breakfast is the OPPOSITE of the norm for you?!?!?!?

.
No wonder your life is sucking.

12. Government job, you know.

Alcohol on the breath is not permissible until after lunch.

[Capn Sunshine]

24. whose government is this?

as a taxpayer, I expect my govvies to be buzzed.

[arbusto_baboso]

25. County of Ventura, administering state and fed programs.

Ventura County is a reddish backwater of polticial correctness (and hostility toward labor).

[Capn Sunshine]

28. It just so happens that our party structure has turned VC blue

There's more registered Democrats here than Republicans. Thanks to Obama's charisma and a confluence of demographics. We made a concerted effort starting 2005 with MoveOn and DFA
:hi:

8. Wear the same underwear backwards for 13 days, and...

wear the same pair of socks wrong-side-out for the same period of time.
Yer welcome.

And....
GOOD LUCK!
:-)

[arbusto_baboso]

9. I might get rid of my bad luck that way, but I'd also lose all my friends!

YEESH!

[trof]

10. I never said there wasn't some downside.

A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

[lunatica]

13. Start paying it forward

The good karma fairy will take notes.

[Lilith Velkor]

14. Bullshit

The dice roll how they roll no matter what you do.

[lunatica]

26. Says who sweety?

Are you God now?

[vadawg]

15. mail me a money order for $1000 and i guarentee you will win a $100 prize

this will be a sure sign that your luck has changed..

[datasuspect]

16. business or personal?

are you trying to develop something?

[Sanity Claws]

17. Take a bath in epsom salts or sea salt

You can also burn some sage and smudge yourself with it.
Both are good at cleaning your chakras.

I don't need to hear what others think of this suggestion. If Arbusto believes in luck, my guess he may be open to these suggestions. If Arbusto isn't open to it, he can pass.

[Xipe Totec]

18. Find someone in a more miserable state than yours, and help that person

That's the secret.

[datasuspect]

20. helping others in meaningful ways always has a salutary effect on one's conscience.

[Xipe Totec]

21. I posit that is helps more than our conscience

Imagine what would happen if everybody in the world did this.

[Sanity Claws]

22. great advice

get out of yourself and help someone else.

[arbusto_baboso]

23. That might be the most meritorious suggestion yet.

I like it.

[Capn Sunshine]

29. I love that idea

Or buy a stranger a drink. I'll be at the Ventura Pier on the 20th at 4pm

[datasuspect]

19. oh, and there is no such thing as luck, only diligence

we all have to create our own opportunities.

[CBGLuthier]

27. Simple. Stop believing in Luck. That would be a good first step.
