Friday 13th. Good or Bad

Hi all

Just looking in my diary and noticed its Friday 13th tomorrow. I personally am happy as the day has hardly ever been unlucky for me (famous last words).

So as I have/am bonding with most of this community, I just wondered how you interpret Friday 13th? Do you dread it? Do you love it? Do you like winding people up on it? Have you had any mishaps on Friday 13th? Or are you like me where any bad luck accumulates until Monday 16th?

Please do tell :)

ATB,

i've never had a problem w/Friday the 13th, unless of course, you run into this guy:

I thought about referencing that before I posted, but then forgot.

Yeah that would be bad luck getting mauled by Jason on Friday 13th. LOL

We always laugh about it being Friday the 13th - bad omens and all that - but nothing bad ever seems to happen. My husband believes Friday the 13th to be his LUCKY day (especially for fishing). We'll see how lucky it is for him. ;)

Good things happen to me on Friday the 13th... maybe it's the mask & the chainsaw but I always seem to get what I want :)

Well let me tell you what happened to me on a Friday 13th - I was in a train compartment and someone had left a copy of Sporting Life on a seat - On page 7 there was a ring around a horse named Seven Up in the 7th race at Severn near Bristol, ridden by Johnny Seven and carrying a 7llb allowance. So as soon as my train arrived in London I asked the taxi driver to take me to the nearest bookies and I put £7.00 to win on 7up

It came in 7th

LOL @ ctabuk! You can't beat a little 7th century humour! :o)

Friday 13th was a good day for me. I moved into a new pad with my girlfriend, nothing was broken, the van didn't break down and I had the whole weekend to recover. I guess I can uncross my fingers now eh? :o)

Marcie - How did your husband get on with his fishing?

I know the answer, please let me be first in - he did not catch one, but in order to fool Macie he had some delivered C.O.D.

C.O.D.!!

Ouch!! Make no bones about it - that was BAD! :o)

He brought home the most valuable fish - a goldfish - so we both got lucky! :)

Speaking of fishing, I went fishing one day with two of my other blonde friends. We were sitting on the riverbank holding fishing poles with the lines in the water when a game warden ccame up behind us. He told us he needed to see our fishing licenses. I told him that we didn't have fishing licenses but he said if we're going to fish, we needed fishing licenses.

Then my blonde friend told him that we weren't fishing because we all have magnets at the end of our lines - we were collecting debris off the bottom of the river.

The Game Warden lifted up all the lines and saw the horseshoe magnets we had tied on the end of each line. He said there wasn't a law against it and told us to take all the debris we wanted. The Game Warden left. All three of us blondes started laughing hysterically.

"What a dumb Fish Cop", I said to my blonde friends. "Doesn't he know that there are steelhead in this river?"
