riddler 0 #12 April 13, 2012 In my experience, there's no such thing as luck. (Obi-Wan Kenobi) Except bad luck (Riddler) Friday the 13th always seems to bring bad things. Dunno why. Not superstitious, not religulous. My kiddos woke up with sore throats and coughing all night. I figured it would be a good day to take off and just hang out at the house. In the dark. With a flashlight. And maybe a shotgun. Somehow, I got a headache. I never get headaches. Spent my last few dollars on liquid acetaminophen for the girls. Wondering how much money I can get for them if I sell them to science for experiments. Internet keeps going out. Not that that's anything too new. I don't mind it going out when I'm not here, but it always seems to go out when I'm here.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 60 #15 April 14, 2012 I'm not superstitious either. I even had a mammogram on a Friday the 13th a few years ago. There were plenty of openings and no wait once I got there.

blkhwk91b 0 #16 April 14, 2012 Friday the 13th only happens on a specific day once every 7 years.
