No wonder you have all the time in the world to come up with such interesting threads, you even beat some women to it.

I remember telling the sales girl in WHSMITH that she would sell more Feng Shui books if they were on the other side of the shelf and lower down. I'm not sure if she was puzzled or just thought I was a madman.

My father in law used to keep a huge arowana. Next to the koi, its very popular in Asian culture for luck. The fengshui master advised him to get it for the family's luck/peace because apparently my husband, my sister in law and mother in law all have alot of "fire". My husband decided to help clean the tank one day and out of mischief, decided to play with the arowana using the water hose, spraying water at it to make it swim around. Little boys!
The fish was found floating on the surface 12 hours later (probably died of stress). My husband never owned up to the deed but the family survived. So bollocks to fengshui I say, the story still makes me chuckle till today though.

I recently got a feng shui book hoping to change the luck of my home. "Move Your Furniture, Change Your Life". Ha! It downright gave me a headache figuring it all out and I'm too cheap to get a professional so I just hung up some shiny things and small mirrors outside the house to deflect the chi of anyone nearing my house. I figure if I can't clean up my crap the least I can do is deflect people from visiting it and finding me out. It seems to be working so far -either that or the smelly rubbish bags I keep putting out full of baby diapers.
