As a friend of mine on FB said "A good day to use power tools with fast rotating blades." Jumbo you heard it here.
I believe it's terribly unlucky to be superstitious.
The fear of Friday the 13th: paraskevidekatriaphobia.
However, I have none of that...
I laugh in the face of superstition! I will dance under a ladder today, and maybe break a mirror, and I will take the Lord's name in vain and step on MANY cracks!
Its going to be a busy day :panic:

This is not going to end well. Don't come crying on our shoulders if nothing happens to you.
All I saw was 'Friday'!

Not even "Friday" matters to the Universe, just a name we give it oir convenience.
Come to think of it all the labels we give time are pretty meaningless in The Big Picture!
Weeks are probably more of a social construct, but they still matter in my universe. :P
Friday is a very, very important day.
:yes!:

They only matter because you are a slave to the capitalist, time and motion ruled, wage system! Cast off your calendars and be FREE! :frolic:

So sayeth the retired gentlemen from the UK.... :geezer!:
Does anyone here have any superstitions they still cling to out of habit? I still have this weird tendency to "Knock On Wood" in order to prevent a confident statement from bringing bad luck or causing a plan or directive to go wayward.
I know it is absolutely pointless, but I do it all the time, especially at work...mostly out of habit I guess.
Anyone else?

* Huh! Between "Take these tablets now, those tablets then and the other tablets at another time, put the drops in your eyes at these times . . ." "Blood tests next Wednesday" "Optometric eye exam on . . . " "See the opthalmologist" "Volunteer jobs on ..., ... and ...."
And not a bloody wage in sight! So, not a wage slave but the calendar is pretty stuffed!
But, no ritualistic things that I can think off, try to keep to my medication times and will not, knowingly, let others down - otherwise my time is my own (what is left anyway...)

Ok, that seriously made me laugh because I imagined you saying 'free' in a drawn out, high pitched voice. :lol:
Ok, Friday 13th has come and gone. Did anybody else have nothing at all happen to them? ::) I am a little disappointed that my day was just as ordinary as any other...

Tossing the shredded pieces high in the air like someone casting off paper shackles.
