Some odd Friday the 13 Qs...

[PhoenixFire]

Dose F13 effect anyones lives out there. Do your animals act and different than on a normal day?

I tryed to get my drivers premit on F13, and I got 8 questions wrong. I went back a week later, 3 questions wrong. Thats really the only thing thats happened to me on that day. My b~day is on F13 every once in a while.

[Raevyn]

Nope, doesn't seem any different to me at all.

[tarotbear]

It's a state of mind.

My late sister always said Friday the 13th was an unlucky day for her. She died on Wednesday the 11th and we buried her on Friday the 13th.

Synchronicity is a frightening thing.

I got married on Friday the 13th. :lol: Sometimes, I gotta wonder about that!

I truly believe that if you look for bad things to happen, you will find them. I don't think bad things happens more on F13th but just more noticable because of all the hype. People are more aware of the negative aspects of that day.

*shrugs* It doesn't seem to affect me much. Usually I don't even notice that it's a Friday the 13th, until someone points it out to me. :)

Yes, Friday the 13th always effects me. I usually have the best day possible. It's amazing. That is SUCH a lucky day. Things always go perfectly (for once). I absolutely love friday the 13th!

Well, happy life day to you FaeRain. And so close to Yule. May the Goddess bring you many more, and let them all be filled with happiness.

Did not even realize it was Friday the 13th till I found this thread!!!:D
I was just looking forward to Friday Payday!!! :boing:
Still am!!;)

[MoonRaven]

Ha, same here VB (but not MY payday, Xeth's - still nice to have money though).

To me, Friday the 13th is just another 24 hours in the life of the universe. Just because we've decided to give it a name and number doesn't mean it's suddenly a horrible period of time.

Well, that's the way I look at it.

[Faery-Wings]

Ever since I was in second grade I thought F 13 was a lucky day. That day, my brother broke his finger ingym, and I got out of school at 10am! :p

Seriously, I feel it is just another day that we, as a culture, attributed a certain meaning to, just like Moon Raven said.

my animals act different around the moons, not the days...
Last Friday the 13 I got a $347 speeding ticket... still have to fight it... ugh, but I don't think I got it cuz it was friday the 13th... :)

Didn't realize it was Friday the 13th til I wrote a check for gas to come home to check on the cats! I've never had an "unlucky" Friday the 13th. Here's a cute little blurb I found on Wilson's Almanac (http://www.WilsonsAlmanac.com) today:

In Dramatic Turn-Around, Skeptics Warn Of Friday the Thirteenth Dangers

http://www.cfiwest.org/archives/pressreleases/Friday13.htm

Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Buffalo Brace for the Year’s Darkest Day

Call in sick to work, stay away from the streets, and hunker down in the safest room in the house: next August 13 is a Friday the Thirteenth! And according to Barry Karr, Executive Director of the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), Americans need to take extra precautions to avoid dire calamities.

Karr draws upon personal experience to cement his warning. He attests: "I used to be a skeptic, but last year on Friday the Thirteenth I walked under a ladder while holding a cat and ever since my life has just sucked."

Meanwhile, Californian skeptics are echoing Karr’s warning. Matt Cherry, director of the Los Angeles-based Center for Inquiry West, commented that "After extensive research, we have determined that Americans just don’t take superstitions seriously enough. If you break taboos you’re running serious risks. My best advice is, spend the day in bed."

In Pennsylvania, compounded taboos are a particular concern. The Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia has compiled massive testimonial evidence to demonstrate that chances of bad luck are compounded the more taboos one breaks, particularly on Friday the Thirteenth. "Last Friday the Thirteenth, I accidentally broke a mirror with an open umbrella indoors, while spilling salt with my other hand, and that very day I came down with a terrible cold that lasted thirteen days," confessed Society President Margaret Downey.

But while acknowledging the validity of concerns over breaking taboos this Friday the Thirteenth, skeptics do debunk other outlandish claims. "There’s that old wives tale about ‘beer then liquor, never sicker,’" said Karr. "It’s really about time that we got over that one." Source

As with FaeRain, it's my birthday today - and i have decided it's the beginning of some positive changes in my life. But honestly, I've always liked Friday the 13th.

[Witchy Cowgirl]

For me Friday the 13th isn't any different than any other day except folks go round saying, ":eek: It's Friday the 13th!:shaker: "
