Hi, Karen! How As your vacation? Nope, not significant, just that friday the thirteenths are usually 'good-luck' days for us. (hey, we're ALIVE, right?, splort!!) Hugs, Noreen

I am going through Google, which limits my posts, and I am also really busy, which limits my time. Not at all superstitious.

Higs, Katherine

Hi Noreen, my vacation was just wonderful. For our 35th anniversary we took a five day trip down into Shawnee National Forest for hiking during the day, and hot tubbing afterwards. The weather was perfect, and we were one very happy couple.

I'm like you. Friday the 13th is generally a good day for me. Yesterday, though, I was busy playing catch-up with work and wasn't able to play online as much as usual. I don't have a superstitious bone in my body

Of course I'm not superstitious. Everyone knows it's bad luck to be superstitious.

Then you won't mind getting on a broom, flying over here, UNDER a ladder, past a black cat to clean my monitor???

LOL! Noreen

In Jewish tradition , number 13 is a good number , and nobody in Israel thinks this is a bad date. But i remember being in American hotel that had no rooms or floors numbered 13. mirjam

As long as it's not past a pile of spilled salt! ;)

OK, I discovered one thing I'm superstitious about -- well, maybe that's not the term -- I was at a family gathering, holding a cousin's new baby, when I was asked about DH's sister who everyone knew was expecting. She'd just had a miscarriage the day before, and for some reason I could not bring myself to tell the news while I was holding the baby. I handed the baby to someone else and withdrew from the baby's earshot even! before giving the bad news. I felt like one of those Asian parents who disparage their children to keep the gods from being jealous and smiting the kid.

Sorry about their loss! And... nodding, I wouldn't tell while holding the baby either! Hugs, Noreen

BUT! would you step on a crack (and break your back?) or step on a line (and break your spine?).... omgosh, I need more coffee or something!

Oh, I quit avoiding stepping on cracks decades ago. It's just too much trouble to be that superstitious, and I have better things to do with my time and energy. It's just that something pops up every once in a while that makes me laugh at myself. When a friend starts dating someone new that we like, I always write the new date's info in my pocket address book in pencil, figuring that if I use ink, they'll break up and I'll have to cross out the info instead of erasing it and re-using that slot. (I also put appointments in pencil since they can change, and birthdays in ink because they don't.)

You'll appreciate THIS one then:

I asked Don if we could renew our vows. Answer: Wouldn't it be cheaper to let 'em lapse? LOLOL! Noreen

PS, I do the pencil thing too, even on anniversaries... one friend got divorced exactly 5 months after the wedding....

Now *I* need my monitor cleaned! What a hoot.

You'll appreciate this, then: my mom, a former secretary, has always been the Keeper of the Family Dates, with a list of birthdays and anniversaries from her parents and in-laws on down to her grandchildren, including our aunts, uncles, and cousins. I noticed that after my oldest grandfather died, she put parentheses around his birth date, and she did the same after her father died. Then, the first of my cousins got divorced...and the next version of The List Mom typed up had parentheses around their anniversary date! Dead marriages...what a concept. Once she started producing the list on the computer, though, she started deleting the anniversaries after divorce as there were too many; I think it depressed her.
