Friday the 13th
 
Well tomorrow is the 13th, what are your superstitions regarding this day. And what other superstitions do you have?

I will burn sage in the house in the morning.

I avoid walking under ladders.
I don't open umbrellas indoors.
I don't put shoes on the table new or worn ones.
Salt thrown over the left shoulder.
I don't close pocket knives opened by someone else. No one closes my pocket knives either if I opened it.


I am looking forward to all of your responses.

I don't put shoes on the bed. I believe in "find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck".

My dad was born on friday the 13 , so I grew up with him saying that Friday the 13th was the luckiest day ever LOL. I routinely burn sage so I guess I'm good for tomorrow ;)

Being Native American we burn sage in the house to keep bad spirits and bad feelings away. The smoke also carries our good wishes and prayers to Wakan Tanka.

just another day - and Friday (bonus) end of a long work week- out to dinner, nice... the only dates I worry about are family/friend birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, important days in our lives. just another day on the calendar is...just another day.
