Just dawned on my that today is Friday the 13th again.
Cannot recall which clients I have dealt with on this superstitious day in history but I know there are times that I've made reference to the date while writing contracts.
Last year one of my clients had the unfortunate incident of their house catching fire a few months after they moved in. I just reviewed the dates and don't see any related to Friday the 13th.
Curious if anyone has interesting stories about reactions they receive from people putting together contracts or closings on this date.
Numbers don't 'grab' me! Sarah, you got married on my sons birthday! Great day! Occasionally he has his b'day land on a Friday the 13th but just laughs it off! I sold a house once that had a address of 666, didn't faze the buyers at all...and they are still there.
Sarah.... The only thing I ever won at the church carnival when I was a kid was on the number 13. I've never been superstitious about numbers so I had to google 6-6-69. Guess it's only unlucky for the 13 Homo's that got arrested.... ( can I still say Homo in 2007 )..... LOL never been politically correct either.
Mary... Guess 666 was the number Sarah referenced... but like age it's just a number...
Dan,
I'm afraid of the black cat thing, better not cross my path...LOL!
Chris.... I don't need no stink'in Rehab... I'll try self medicating 13 times.....
Suzanne... Better watch out on your 13 mile training run....
Now I'm scared....13 shakes
Sarah,
my hubby born 6/66 LOL!
"koorkup" LOL!
Suzanne... Is that 13 high calorie fitness shakes?
Bill... you forgot to include a pronunciation key.
Teri...No matter what the fortune cookie says a high price on a busy road is two strikes.
Todd... Hope you hit a homer and with an offer.
George... You are the brave one.... Comment #13!
Dan,
In 13 days...LOL! Hey I wanted to be #13 comment, I'm jealous! See what you started!
Suzanne...You should have come off the beach a little earlier to be #13.... Guess you'll have to send the afternoon looking for blogs with 12 comments and type fast.... LOL
Dan,
I'm going back to then gym, had a hoodsie cup feel guilty will have to look for more blogs later! :)
Susie...Put a good spin on any story and the clients will love it.
Suzanne...I hope you didn't eat the whole thing and destroy those tight abs.
George... If it breaks I'll crown you the king of "stupid-tition" at the Middletown run next week.
Loreena...Glad to hear you're having a productive day - hope it turns profitable.
George... I may have some demonic tendencies but I'm no Speed Demon. The Middletown Run is part of the Main Street Festivities on Thursday July 19th. If all goes off on schedule it will start at 6:45 and in the spirit of today I will cross the finish line at 7:13
George... I have noticed you are never part of the early morning crowd. 6:45 is nearly lunch time. LOL
But you are safe to sleep in, the Street Fest is Thursday Night...
In terms of my work contracts, I try not to do anything major on Friday the 13th. Yes, I can be a little superstitious. So I played some golf today......and I absolutely sucked. Must be because it's Friday the 13th, right?? :)
Julia
Julia...Sounds like you were pretty lucky spending the day of the golf course & had a good excuse for the score.
Thesa...Are you ever up in the daytime? Seems you only comment in the late night....LOL

Jason... A Newbie trying to capture comments with Link Spam..? Since I'm in an easy going mood I'll let it slide as strike one..
Hey Dan,
I was not looking to spam you. I thought you might find the history behind the day interesting. If this offended you I apologize. I was under the impression that Active Rain was a community as much as it is a marketing medium and felt that the true story of why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky might be one you would like to share with others in the future.
Jason, I could have hit delete if I was offended but since it was related to this blog I let it stay. Pointing it out to you because as you travel around if you just dump links you'll find people frown upon it.
Hey Dan,
Thanks for the advice. As you said; I am new to this. I will be more aware in my future actions.
Based on the way Friday went for me, Friday the 13th is to be avoided.!
