tried to raid the elders brains see if the can remember anything this is what i got.The black roosters blood was put there because according to them at least somebody always died when they built the house a rock would fall on thier head or a tool accident something so it was almost like the house had a blood offering lol .gross aint it lol but with the newer houses things are safer and people hardly ever die so the blood was like a sacrifice to the house i quess .they explained it and im still clueless go with the sand man go with the sand.ilike that one

My ex mother-in-law always said that when you move into a new house the first item of yours that should be brought in was a broom and dustpan. She didn't know why just that it was what you were supposed to do. But she's from Greenville and I've seen how weird you people can get Personally, I agree with Phil. Throw a party and everyone gets drunk.
