It is Friday the 13th.
Do you believe in the myth?
Will you be more careful?
Do you care?
Since I like being different, I think I will buy a lottery ticket or two.
If you buy one after reading this and win many millions, just remember me.
I had to throw that one in.
I guess I never really thought much of Friday the 13th, but I know about it when it comes around.
Have fun!

We're going on vacation, so I guess we're not staying in to avoid bad luck...
Bonnie F. Jun 13, 2008, 1:52am EDT
I love Friday the 13th! It's my lucky day!
Yvonne R. Jun 13, 2008, 1:56am EDT
I don't believe in the myth. But it is fun to go along with some people who think it is. Am I bad? Or, maybe they're bad and just pretending they think it's bad luck for fun. (:O)

I don't worry about it that much. My jersey number my senior year in high school baseball was 13.
Karen W. Jun 13, 2008, 2:10am EDT
I love Friday the 13th also.
Vic Needs Coffee Jun 13, 2008, 2:12am EDT
Friday the 13th is just another day to me.
Diane "stormyz" B. Jun 13, 2008, 3:37am EDT
Don't think I've ever had anything bad happen on Friday the 13th.
Vikki M. Jun 13, 2008, 3:43am EDT
Good luck on the lottery! I usually find that Friday the 13ths are pretty good days for me. Probably because all the people around tend to hide away and don't go out and bother me! ;-)
Amy H. Jun 13, 2008, 4:24am EDT
Yeah lets play the lottery
Patty H. Jun 13, 2008, 4:51am EDT
It just another day.
Wilhelmine Estabrook Jun 13, 2008, 5:00am EDT
There is enough Irish in my background to watch carefully for signs and symbols. My familiar keeps me aware that it's Friday the 13th. But today I have to take my sister to the hospital for more x-rays on her broken leg.

Don't know how I feel about it but I am a bit on the superstitious side.

We shall see what the day brings!
Karen F. Jun 13, 2008, 6:35am EDT
Just another day to me...go to work...make enough money to buy gas and go to work.
Have a good weekend.
J F. Jun 13, 2008, 7:49am EDT
Doesn't matter to me. We have been having bad luck for over 5 years now.
Larry M. Jun 13, 2008, 7:50am EDT
How can Friday the 13th be so bad? It is a Friday after all.
Beth G. Jun 13, 2008, 7:54am EDT
Friday the 13th is overrated.
A K. Jun 13, 2008, 7:59am EDT
I'm not superstitious, its just another day
Chris E. Jun 13, 2008, 8:43am EDT
I am not superstitious at all.
Beth O. Jun 13, 2008, 9:20am EDT
So far I've had a pretty good morning. I even brought two pies to work and they both made it into the office in the exact condition they left the house!
Dawn S. Jun 13, 2008, 9:39am EDT
It's just another day.
Tara W. Jun 13, 2008, 11:06am EDT
can't be any worse then any other day I have lately.
ness m. Jun 13, 2008, 11:06am EDT
Some one I work with books every friday the 13th off, it is just a day after all, i have bought a lottery ticket and I dare say it will lose like all of the others I have bought.
Theresa W. Jun 13, 2008, 11:49am EDT
didnt even know what day it was til just now
Chelle M. Jun 13, 2008, 1:32pm EDT
Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me and 13 is one of my lucky numbers. In fact, today we found out that the starter in my car is fine and it was just the battery that was dead. Up to $50 saved right there lol! =)
Sue D. Jun 13, 2008, 1:51pm EDT
I'm not superstitious, and I've had a good day. Hope you do too......good luck with the lottery!
Crystal Scordias Jun 13, 2008, 2:57pm EDT
Good point! Great time to break out some cheesy b&w horror flicks to watch! I love the number 13, it's nice.

Good luck with that lotto ticket!
Marsha S. Jun 13, 2008, 3:18pm EDT
Thought nothing about it until I came to gather today
Debra B. Jun 13, 2008, 8:12pm EDT
It's been a good day, actually. Hope this evening goes as well. Have a good weekend!
Larry H. Jun 13, 2008, 10:09pm EDT
Thanks for sharing, it being the 13 doesn't bother me..
Carlie L. Jun 13, 2008, 11:34pm EDT
I need to find a scary movie to watch. We've even got a thunderstorm here to go with Friday the 13th.

no, same as any other day
Patricia J. Jun 15, 2008, 8:48pm EDT
It was Friday the 13th when my mother had a bad car accident and was thrown out of her car and onto the expressway. She was almost killed. I remember that on the day but I've never had anything really bad happen to me.
Alan M. Jun 21, 2008, 1:32am EDT
I didn't know Friday the 13th had happened this year until it was already over.
Rodney R. Jun 22, 2008, 1:44am EDT
don't sweat it
Shelbia C. Jun 29, 2008, 3:14am EDT
Never run into any bad luck on that day
Nick Howes Sep 4, 2008, 7:32am EDT
I made $60 on an article for an almanac about Friday the 13th superstitions, so I figure it's lucky if anything. The most interesting anecdote was on a lady whose friends talked her out of sailing from England on friday the 13th so she sailed on the Titanic. She was rescued, however, on Lifeboat 13.
Lana B. Oct 5, 2008, 2:22pm EDT
Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me. Maybe just because I like to be different, and go against the crowd, so I've never been superstitious about that particular day.
JoAnne D. Oct 25, 2008, 12:56pm EDT
I've seen so many of them as they used to be a series, I have lost some fear but find the stories actually interesting.
