Question

If you say "fuck" while trying to bury your St. Joseph in the yard, does this negate it's power?

TIA!

PS: Thank you Emily for the cute new necklace. It's perfect and definitely full of good luck.

PPS: Logan and I used to go to a bar in Detroit, right near the state fair grounds where throughout the night the bartender would yell out, "Free Blue Shit!" I can't believe I consumed the free blue shit. Whenever I find freebies I feel compelled to scream out, "Free Blue Shit!" Mother's Day Giveaways at the buzz off.

A fine question, one I've asked myself many, many times. The one that has negated my buying and burying a St. Joseph in my yard. Our house is still on the market after 8 months. Maybe I need to fucking bury the thing?'

If you post here that your house sold the week after you buried him, even while saying fuck? I'm going to stab myself in the face with my St. Joseph (for being so stupid and lazy). As soon as I buy it.

Good luck!!

I don't think it negates it, but it definitely gets the attention of the Gods...

We sat on the market from September to March with no offers. Buried St. Joseph and had an offer in 6 weeks. I don't know if cursing would change that equation, but we were definitely cracking up when we buried him. But he definitely sits in a place of honor in our new (dream) house.

Good luck!

as long as you weren't directing the swear *at* st joseph, i think you're good.

joseph was a parent just like the rest of us, i'm sure he used colorful language from time to time- only his son was perfect. best of luck on moving that house through the market asap!

"I can't believe I consumed the free blue shit" pretty much sums up the early-twentysomething experience, doesn't it? :)

So glad you like the necklace -- East Coast superlucky vibes are being beamed to your St. Joe through it, fer sure. :P emily

As long as you didn't say "damn" or "hell" I think you're golden.

What bar was that? The only ones around there I can think of are a strip club and a gay after-hours place. In either case, "blue shit" sounds frightening and I hope it wasn't one of them.

I don't know what that meant.

-miao.

AFB but it's long gone. It was right by that dutch girl doughnut shop place.

Well we bought our formerly-a-shithole house from an old cranky dude, and as we were digging up the overgrown yard, we found his St. Joseph. And he once barked "Who the fuck are you?!" at us when he found us inside the house for a walkthrough (his realtor failed to notify him). And we still bought the place. So, I'm hopeful and optimistic for you.

I'm not sure but I know that it works even if you are Jewish :-)! We could not sell our house so I turned to my Catholic friends for help. It sold the day before our 90 day listing ended!

I don't know about the St. Joseph, but I'd drink the free blue shit. Blue shit is yummy. Though not actual, you know, shit-shit. Drinky shit.

No, no - you're fine. God doesn't mind cursing - he even named his own son Jesus Christ.

You know that thing's gonna sprout seeds and pretty soon you'll have giant Fuck weeds all over your yard. I hear those things spread like wildfire. Good luck offloading the house *then*.

I'm KIDDDDINNNNG. Good luck with the house. I'm rooting for you (oh...hehe..unintentional pun...awesome)

It most certainly does not.
However, if the nice Catholic folks from a foreign country that end up putting a contract on your house FIND St. Joe, you might end up having to answer some panicky queries as to why you've buried the Dear Lord's stepfather head first in the roses. They might turn out to be unfamiliar with the whole St. Joe JuJu thing.
Just saying.
