Friday the 13th!

Managed to get through the day here from where I'm from no problems! Was only worried my watches might get hairlines ;)

I used to have some minor superstitions when I was on the job, none anymore. Now my fiancé, that's another story, black cats, umbrellas inside, walking under ladders, you name it!

Seth, that's a scary thing you had happen there, glad that you're ok.

I am glad you are okay, Seth. Instinct served you well!

I think the two things that make me the most unhappy are heights and being on the wrong end of a high ladder!

Glad you made it through that nightmare without a scratch, Seth.

Personally, I have no hangups about Friday the 13th, but I do hate snakes, in any way, shape or form.

not particularly superstitious but...have you ever noticed that bad occurrences (e.g. noteworthy deaths, personal mishaps etc.) tend to run in threes?

Friday the 13th is Just Another Day in Paradise!

Superstitions were made to be broken and I really don't have any.

Good to hear you are safe Seth!
