Given that none of us are monks, who were killed back in some obscure October on Friday the 13th, I should say the day's gonna be a lucky one
And for added thought...... in Guatemala, Friday the 13th isn't the unlucky day. Theirs is Saturday the 14th Dates and days really are irrelevant!
Wow, Friday the 13th has always been my lucky day! Interesting facts!
Hmmm....isn't that interesting.....
in our country you wear black to a funeral, in Korea the color of respect is white.....Does anyone else have some really interesting odd facts to share?
Great topic Debbie
My fortune today said that Friday the 13th is not a day of death etc. It symbolizes the end of the "old" ways and a new beginning

All in all, that's a pretty cool fortune, Karen
Well Friday the 13th has been and gone here and not once did I have a great misfortune of any kind.....in fact I forgot all about it!!
I'm having a great Friday the 13th as well! My daughter had a little demonstration of all the cute stuff she's learned at her cheerleading camp... it was SO adorable! :dance: My little guy showed off his moves for my Mom and I at the skateboard park. He;'s 4 so he goes down the ramps on his little butt! Tonight we are headed off to hear my oldest play bass with his band at a great music store in Kent, Ohio.
It's funny... I have had a couple of life altering events happen to me in the past on Friday the 13th, that have required BIG decisions, and they have always turned out for the BEST... so I'm with you Lisa... I think its always been sort of a lucky day for me as well.
OOO... I've got an interesting little factoid related to superstitions ... my grandmother always used to (and probably still DOES!) keep an acorn or two in her pocket. They are supposed to slow down the aging process! It is also said that keeping an acorn on your window sill will ward off lightening. I know that one has to do with an old Norse legend.. I think it was Thor who took shelter under an oak tree that kept him alive.

Aaahhh!!! Hey, I've got an oak tree right outside my bear room windows. I think I'll be picking up some acorns this fall ~ for windows and pocket. Can you imagine customs when they ask to empty your pockets? :crackup:
Saaay, you're four year old's got the right idea about going down the ramps on his butt. I think even I can do that on a skateboard ... maybe
