It's Friday the 13. AAhhgggg!!!
Who's superstitious? and to what degree?
I don't actually believe in fate or superstitions, but I still have fun with them and even follow a few.
I don't walk under a ladder, but that just seems wise.
(I also knock on wood - I know, I know... )
Have at it - what do you do??

Darn, that was a disappointment. No ghostly sightings, no bumps in the night. Not even a machete wielding maniac intent on killing nubile teenagers. Nada. I'm a ghost free zone, apparently.
Although I once pissed off a Canadian friend - who is an engineer and about the most rational person I know - by tossing some spilled salt over my shoulder. Complete theatrics on my part, but she took it seriously.

LOL - I might know your Canadian engineer friend. LOL
Dammit - nothing here either... yet.
Although I did tally up someone's invoice incorrectly - is that bad luck??
Seems pretty tame, I got off easy. Knock on wood...
LOL
@scurry As I always say, no one got hurt and there was no property damage, so that's all good.
I suppose if I were a templar I'd be freaking out today.

Do they have a thing for the number 13 paired with Fridays?
I think Friday the 13th was a day mark by an attack on Templar barracks and homes by the Roman Catholic Churches because of the power and wealth they had gained in the middle east.
Oh Man - I think I would book just so that I COULD go on that flight.
LOL
I realy don't thnk I have any superstitions left.
As a child, I had a lot of them, but then I was being indoctrinated into religion as a child and "magical thinking" seemed normal them.
Once I gave up religion and magical thinking the superstitions just seemed silly.

I had the neighborhood black cat walk ahead of me going up the stairs to my apartment this morning. He escorted me all the way to my front door. I think he wanted in! Cute kitty. But no, I'm not falling for that superstition nonesense. What a burden!!

Ha ha - This black cat just wanted some love...
Cute.
Yes - too much work to be superstitious. LOL
@scurry Everyone in the apartment complex pets him. He's spoiled rotten!
Only from a very narrow dating perspective. The Julian Day is: 2458222. From a sidereal time, it's much different.

Not a problem for me. My birthday is September 13 every year.

Hopefully you don't get the "Crusader" treatment every 7 years.....
.....I have a black cat. So on Friday 13ths I tend to phuck with my wife (and anyone else in range), everytime the cat (Raven) walks buy, I shout, "Holy $#!%! there's a black cat and it's Friday the 13th!" Yeah... I know. Not really funny unless you're the one I scare the crap out of when I shout.
Happy Friday y'all!

It's interesting how people feel about superstitions. I had a friend who became visibly shaken when my black cat would come in the room.

Cats in general can have that effect on people.
I always worry about the neighbourhood 'black cats' on Halloween - thinking that they might be a target.
Poor little guys.
