Do you shy away from the numbers 13 or 666? Or are they just another number to you? I feel they are just another number and I even think maybe as far as superstition goes they can be a lucky number if mind set is such that webelieve it to be a lucky number. What do you think?

Don't you know being superstitiious is bad luck? For me 13 and 666 for the most part are just numbers. I don't worry about them. Now I will admit on Friday the 13th I try to avoid going out, just to be safe but also due to so many people panicking and worrying about having an accident.

Ah yes, the power of positive thinking, or in this case, negative thinking. I think peopkle attract accidents to them or negativity on Friday the 13th. In that yu are right. My hubby is the same way. He used to say, it was his national holiday. He will even take the day off from work to stay home and relax. Then he admittesd it was because too many kooks are out stirring up trouble on that day.

Well the number 666 seems to follow my husband and I around. It is in phone numbers, pin numbers, license plates, etc. I don't really think too much about it. It amuses us sometimes and we actually point it out to each other when we see it. Alot of the people I work with tell me I should play it in the lottery..lol. It just so happens that whenever the guys give their ending mileage, whenever the ending 3 are 666, I am the one working. One of the officers one day said after he gave me the mileage, the number popped up 7 more times in other things he was doing. I think he was just paying more attention to it.

And in many places the number 7 is a luky number. I agree you better get to Vegas or Atlantic City or just play the lottery and see what happens. Buy the ticket on the 13th, just to play it safe. LOL

Rabbit's Foot - Make sure you have yours, too!!! lol... ;-)
I am a little superstitious, but usually in positive ways. I don't worry about walking under ladders or breaking mirrors or even shy away from numbers, but I do believe in a little luck now and then. Thank goodness for my lucky rabbit's foot...;-)
