1. I would be, but frankly I don't think things can get any worse.
So if I get hit by a beer truck or something like that, it'll actually be a relief.

2. No. I give it some thought sometimes though.
Like when a black cat shoots across my path, but then I forget about it.

3. I'm not, but an interesting thing happened one Friday the 13th
I remember thinking on the morning of Friday the 13th, 1978 that I hoped no one died that day, as that might make their family feel superstitious. Hubert Humphrey died that day. Kinda weird, but I was pretty young then.

4. No, but it is an excuse to stay up late watching horror films.

5. Friday the 13th is a lucky day in our family...
If my father was still alive, today would be my parents 45th wedding anniversary...:)

6. Aw, that's sweet. I've always considered it my lucky day, too.
No real reason, I probably just said it as a kid to be different, but I've always said that. It's been no more lucky or unlucky than any other day, though.

11. Yeah, I've always had an affinity for that date...
I still send my mom anniversary cards too. I can tell it makes her happy thinking about him :)

I'm going to walk under a ladder while holding a black cat. :)

8. No, but one Friday the 13th
I had an automobile accident in the morning and after I got to the office, I spilled a pot of hot coffee all over myself.

9. So far I have not thought once about shooting myself and
things are going along pretty well today.

19. Quite the opposite
My grandmother, a strega from the Old Country, always taught me that Friday the 13th was a lucky day, and I treat it as such. Haven't had a problem so far.
