    No, nothing has ever happen to me, or anyone I know,
    on Friday the 13th.

    Nope. My wedding day. Best day of my life. Though we're not "together" anymore, he's still the love of my life and my best friend.

    I remember Friday, November 13, 1992. The kids were young and asked me if I believed in bad luck on Friday the 13th. I said that I really didn't. My dad died that day. :(

    But honestly, I don't think too much about Friday the 13th. Just another day.

    No, but I always feel better when it's Saturday the fourteenth! This year, the day after the Friday the Thirteenth is Valentines day. And there will be another Friday the Thirteenth next month-two in a row, holy cow!

    The date doesn't bother me even though it was on my mind when I had to go to work back in the day. :)

    Sandy, what cute kitties!

    Didn't even realize it Fri the 13th I read this.
    Just another day for me.

  • 17 years ago

    Same as LindaKathy! I hadn't realized today was Friday the 13th until I checked in at the KT. I'm so superstitious about the number 13 that I will no reply to a post if I think mine will be being the 13th one. Seriously.

    Jodi- who has bigger problems though than it being Friday the 13th

  • 17 years ago

    Oh no, I'm post number 13!!!!!

    That's all there is to it, I'm staying in all day! LOL

    Teh-heh! The Garden Center I want to go to today is 13 miles away. I just changed my mind when I realized that. It is the same road I drove on Dec. 8, 1969 and ended up in the hospital for almost a year.

    I'll go tomorrow.

  • 17 years ago

    Nope, it is just another day. (Now because I said that, something bad will happen. LOL)

    One of my co-workers got horribly assualted by one of our tenants today, so I probably will from now on!

  • 17 years ago

    It's always been a lucky day for me. There's 3 of them this year. Feb, March and November.

    My DH and I met for the first time in person 50 years ago today on Friday the 13th. We had been pen pals for 2 years! We were married 4 months later on June 13th!

  • 17 years ago

    I was born on Friday the 13th, so was Thomas Jefferson.

  • 17 years ago

    Nope, I just have a phobia about not being able to spell "paraskavedekatri#^*)! . . . or whatever!

  • 17 years ago

    nope...13th days don't bother me..I was born on the 13th...

    I used to work in a building in Seattle and the builder/owner was so superstitious that he made it "12 floors", then you had to get out of that elevator, walk around the corner and get in another elevator to the "penthouse". LOL
    So indeed it was 13 floors high. LOL

    Friday the 13th is the only day I go and play bingo. The halls aren't busy, because I think the regular players are superstitious.

  • 17 years ago

    I have never been superstitious.

  • 17 years ago

    I've always thought 13 is my lucky number...it gets a bad rap!

  • 17 years ago

    I love Fri. the 13th. I had my son on that day.

  • 17 years ago

    I didn't even make the connection with it being Friday and 13 until now!

    I do have other fears, though.

    13 was often a lucky number for me. Friday the 13th used to be a very lucky day for me actually. This year wasn't anything much either way.

    My first daughter was born on Friday, the 13th, 1956.

    Come to think of it, something bad did happen yesterday. My grandson (the above daughter's son) had a car accident and spun out because of slippery roads last night in Wisconsin. He was driving back to Milwaukee after playing in a concert in Green Bay, so had his very expensive cello with him and was probably dressed in a tux. The only damage was to the car, which was not driveable.
