Anyone superstitious about it ? Anyone staying home today because it's Friday 13th ? Got any funny or interesting stories ..?
Mornin' @hollydolly ! Yes, I'm staying in today... but not because it's Friday the 13th... but rather because it's dreary, raining *again*, and I have nowhere to go.Anyone superstitious about it ? Anyone staying home today because it's Friday 13th ? Got any funny or interesting stories ..?
see that's the funny thing.. because in the UK Black Cats are considered to be Very Lucky...I'm not overly superstitious but I'm going to do my best to avoid black cats (there's two that roam the neighborhood) and I'm darn sure not gonna walk under any ladders today.

Mornin' Kate.. me too.. not because it's raining, in fact for the first time this week it's very sunny, and I really want to go out, but my back isn't better enough for me to drive yet.. so I've got the chores done instead..Mornin' @hollydolly !

If your back isn't better..shouldn't you be resting HD? I'm sorry it's still bothering you.

My daughter was born on the 13th so I always look on it as a Lucky day...![]()

It seizes up if I don't move around Diva.. so it becomes so much worse... so wherever possible I do whatever I can without going overboard of course. Well I wouldn't be able to go overboard , because it wouldn't let me.. but where I can do things I do them.. Like today, I've done the laundry... Vac'd the floors.. cleaned the toilet and bathroom... and cleaned down the Stove and counters.. none of which took any bending..If your back isn't better..shouldn't you be resting HD?

How do you do laundry without bending? Are your machines on platforms and/or top loaders? I sure hope your back improves soon HD.It seizes up if I don't move around Diva.. so it becomes so much worse... so wherever possible I do whatever I can without going overboard of course.

MY washing machine and tumble dryer are front loaders.. easy to put the washing in if I bend at the knees keeping my back straight..How do you do laundry without bending? Are your machines on platforms and/or top loaders? I sure hope your back improves soon HD.![]()
Oh okay...smart move, literally. And you're welcome, of course. Also know that I pray that my family and friends who are experiencing pain, will have relief.MY washing machine and tumble dryer are front loaders.. easy to put the washing in if I bend at the knees keeping my back straight..
Thanks for the best wishes for my Back Diva, very kind.![]()
Yes... I see we're from the same state, @Chet ... and there's an awful lot of superstition floating around from the German background and culture here... at least in my area. I don't pay attention to it "on the surface" but I'm still not going to toss a hat on the bed, ya know?While I don't consider myself superstitious, whenever I see a black cat, or on a Friday 13th, my mind can't help being pulled toward the superstition.
