Reason: added a today in history !!!
Aside from all of the weird and strange stuff that happens every day?
lol no kidding
there was a period that it seemed Friday the 13th and my autos were not a good match
I had 2 accidents and blew out a transmission over a 5 year period on FTT
so it got to a point that I just didn't drive on that day
knock on wood that seemed to of passed
though it is kind of ironic that I am picking up my car from the auto body shop today though this was hail damage not "karla caused damage"
Knock on wood here as well...nope, not one thing...i remember when I was younger and would realize it was FTT I would get a wierd feeling, but I think that was just way too many horror movies!

You mean besides a ladder collapsing while I was walking under it, running over a black cat with my truck, and breaking the mirror when I looked at myself in it, and spilling the salt shaker on the table? Nah.. nothing unusual really happened...
Don't worry, the black cat survived, but he sued me and got a good settlement!
Friday the 13th is a myth and superstition, and I don't believe in it. It's just another day.
Location: Moved to town. Miss 'my' woods and critters.

If FTT is supposed to be bad luck, etc., then I do think that I have many FTT during every month lately! Just when I think something is going 'right' for a change, pow, it turns out negative. Not that superstitious about FTT, really!
Pouring down rain here, no weeding garden. See? Ok, who asked for the rain? Must have been somebody! Well, back to other things about now. See y'all.
