Back to Back Friday the 13ths
in February and March and another one in November. I'm almost irrationally superstitious and have my mind wrapped around this nonsense trying to figure out how to protect myself this year.

3. It's easy, BOSSHOG....just hang a pair of your shoes
out of your bedroom window. I've always heard that's a certain protection from misfortune on Friday the 13th, though I can't imagine why. :hi:

9. I'm too embarrassed
to say what "things" I do relative to some nonsensical superstition in my head. It sometimes controls my life, but not in a significant way. I actually have a slight fear of Friday the 13th.

Nothing happened to me, but the place was hopping!
