Is anyone superstitious and dreading tomorrow? I find most people these days claim that Friday the 13th, is a lucky day for them, or they ignore it. Still this is the culture that has no 13th floor in any of its buildings and, a whole series of cheesy movies by the same title, flourished for years.

Nope. Just another day =) I think it's all in the way you look at it.

I used to tell people that because I was born on Halloween, Friday the 13th was actually lucky for me. I would say all the superstitions were reversed for people born on that day. Four leaf clovers were bad and black cats were good. I don't think I got enough attention at home.

I am not too thrilled about tomorrow! My ex-husband's sister wants to come visit me and my new family. The relationship I had with her brother was B.A.D. She herself is/was a nice girl, should I reconnect with her? I am scared!

There might be a reason for not feeling thrilled. She may be nice, but you could be opening a can of worms. Trust your instincts on this one. If you are feeling scared there must be a reason. I think a good soul searching might help. IMO

Friday the 13th could have been my demise. My mother's nurse didn't think I should be born until the doctor got there, so she tried shoving me back. My grandmother slung her halfway across the room and delivered me herself. I consider the fact that my grandmother was there as lucky. She kept a woman from committing a double murder. She saved the doctor some work. She saved my mother from and untimely death, and she helped me take my first breath. It's just another one of God's days.

LOL, Gracie! Great story. I'm not superstisious, it is just another one of God's days, like Gracie says.

I am trying not to think about it being Friday the 13th, as I am on my way to the airport. Do you think I should ask the flight attendants if the pilot has walked under any ladders or ran into a black cat???

Well before I even realized it was Friday the 13th I had overslept, which I very rarely do, I burnt myself taking my bowl of oatmeal out of the microwave. I tripped on the steps and ended up on my back side. I almost got hit by some stupid a$$ driver who ran a red light. My co-worker lambasted me with 100 questions as soon as I walked in the door this morning and caused me to get a headache and lose my temper a bit, which is something I never do. My reports didn't all run last night so I had to mess around with the computer to try to get them to print. I forgot my cigarettes at home so I had to sneak out of work and run to the gas station and pick up a pack. Normally I consider Friday the 13th as good, but this one is not starting out that way, hopefully as the day goes on things will get better.

Hmmm. I am no superstitious at all. But now you've got me thinking about how my day has started. Jagger, I think you started it. Got a phonecall at 4:15 a.m. from my DD, who had an earache and wanted comfort, medical advice and to share all her news. Ack!! At 7:30 a.m., I let the dog out to take a quick pee on the bushes outside our apt patio. He had other ideas this morning. He ran UP the icy hill to a neighbor's patio (where another dog lives) to pee there! I chased him up the hill in my robe and slippers. Got him and successfully scooted him down the hill. But then I slid all the way down the hill, bumping my butt and elbow and putting on an "I Love Lucy" show for all 12 families inside their apts facing that area--and trying to start their Friday the 13th mornings in some reasonable fashion. Now I will be driving to Brooklyn to give my DD some TLC, with dog in tow, cuz Loupup wants Herc for cuddling. Hoping I don't 'perform' for anyone again today!

I used to freak out about it but my Father soloed during WWII on Friday the 13th so he told me it was a lucky day. Got on the scales and had lost 3 lbs so it can't be all bad.

Actually Gracie, my answer is no. I had posted something from my perspective and then I noticed I was the thirteenth poster and so it seemed much more fun to delete my post and play around with landi!
