paraskavedekatriaphobia

that's the term referring to the fear of Friday the 13th.  I myself have no superstitions about the day or any other crazy irrational fear.  I will walk out of my way to go under a ladder,  if a black cat is ahead of me I will wait for it, in fact I purposely spill salt when filling the shaker.
My older sister would have been 47 today.  As children and even older I used to tease her and say she was born on a Friday and brought the family bad luck. I think Louise was actually born on a Sunday or something.

Happy weekend 24 more sleeps

you have to run your mouse over to read of all the bad luck to happen today lmao

    I happen to have a fondness for Friday the 13th, but couldn't find a corresponding word for that... so I wonder if I could just change paraskavedekatriaphobia to paraskavedekatriafilia... Hmmm...

    Wow - I've learned something new........

    But I don't walk under ladders not because of superstition but because of common sense - I don't want to be the one who gets paint (or whatever) dripped on her head....
