Today is Friday the 13th – are you superstitious?

Since I started my blog 20 months ago, there have been 2 previous Friday the 13ths with today making it 3.
These dates are –
Friday, November 13, 2015
Friday, May 13, 2016
Friday, January 13, 2017
Since I was born 56 years ago, there have been 97 previous Friday the 13ths with today making it 98.
I will not list all the dates here – you will just need to trust me on this.

From nationalgeographic.com article Superstitious Numbers Around the World –
Today is Friday the 13th—a day thought to be unlucky because of the idea that number 12 is “complete” (think apostles, months of the year, zodiac signs) and 13 is just … odd. That’s the explanation given by Joe Nickell, a senior research fellow and paranormal investigator for Skeptical Inquirer magazine.
But in other countries, different numbers are thought to be just as unlucky. In case 13 makes you nervous, here are five other numbers to avoid.
4: In China, the pronunciation of the word for the number four is similar to that of the Chinese word for death. Many buildings in China skip a fourth floor, just as U.S. builders sometimes omit floor 13.
9: Just as the number four has a bad-luck soundalike in Chinese, 9 is feared in Japan because it sounds similar to the Japanese word for torture or suffering.
17: Some Italians are superstitious about Friday the 17th because rearranging the Roman numeral XVII can create the word “VIXI”—translated from Latin to mean “my life is over.”
39: The number 39 gets a bad rap in Afghanistan. An NPR report explains: “Many Afghans say that the number 39 translates into morda-gow, which literally means ‘dead cow’ but is also a well-known slang term for a procurer of prostitutes—a pimp.” So when Afghans see a car with number 39 on the license plate, they head the other way.
Add the unlucky numbers 4 + 9 + 17 + 39 and you get 69.
Subtract my age 56 from 69 and you get 13.

Thanks a lot, Terry. I didn’t even know today was Friday the 13th. Now, I’m going to be worried for the rest of the day. LOLOL
When I bought my house in Florida, I closed on Friday the 13th and didn’t realize it until we were sitting at the table. When I sold it, I got an offer on April Fools’ Day. The story of my life. Hahahaha.
Hope you and Gary are well. 🙂
