Advice for Surviving Friday the Thirteenth


Today is Friday the Thirteenth. Do not do any of the following, all of which will compound your bad luck:

1. Allow a black cat to cross your path.

2. Walk under a ladder.

3. Light three of anything on a single match.

4. Break a mirror.

5. Spill any salt.

6. Open an umbrella indoors.

7. Say "What's the worst that could happen?"

8. Dial a phone number containing three sixes in a row.

9. Vote Republican.

10. Vote Democratic.

Be careful out there. You have Cartoon Saturday and Poetry Sunday to look forward to.

Have a good day. More thoughts coming.

  1. Those ten things sound doable, especially since there's no primaries today.

    Still, I'm going to hedge my bet by tossing a coin into a well.

  2. We should think about doing what some hotels do with the 13th floor: eliminate the 13th if it falls on a Friday. I could like with March or July 32nd.

  3. I made the mistake of saying #7 and it wasn't Friday the 13th.
    After a disastrous move I said it out loud - then the roof collapsed from all the heavy snow.
    I no longer will utter that phrase again because I don't want it answered.
    Be it the 13th or not!

  4. The weather here finally has no rain forecasted for today. It's a trick to try an get me to go outside. It's not going to work.
