So is this a Luck day or Unlucky Day?

I don't buy into that crap.

I broke a mirror once and someone said, "Dude, your gonna have seven years of bad luck". I said to him, "What else could go wrong, I'm out 10 bucks for the mirror and I have to deal with your dumb ---, it can only get better from here". :roll:

I was born on Thursday, the 13th, had my 13th birthday on Friday the 13th (and several others, too!). No, not unlucky at all!

Just another day, but then any day you've got in addition to the ones you've already had is a lucky day! :wink:

I don't pay any attention to all of that stuff. You make your own luck by the decisions you make. :)

When I was 11 I broke my arm on Friday the 13th. A couple of years later on Friday the 13th I was riding my bike pretty fast down a hill. My chain breaks, I lose control, crash into a curb and go flying over the handle bars getting a pretty nasty case of road rash. I think I'll stay inside this time.

Okay, maybe not.

Here's a tip -- Look both ways before you cross any streets tomorrow. :lol:

I was spanked one day for putting a broom next to a doorway (Supposedly its bad luck if the broom falls across the door) so I dont entertain any of these superstitions for my kids sake.

Sieze the DAY!!

I would normally say, just another day, don't worry about that bad luck stuff..... I got a phone call a little while ago that did not bode well for my next two months. The house I was supposed to move into at the end of October, first of November will not be ready until November 8th at the absolute earliest, maybe later in November. I already gave my notice to my apartment complex to move out by November first. They already pre-leased my apartment for someone else to move in November 7th. I may be out of touch in November due to not really havin a real place to live. Hotel? another apartment for a month? with my stuff in storage? I am already going thru incredible turmoil at work. I don't need this. I have always lived under the premise : do the right thing, the right thing will happen for you. I guess I have done someone wrong for this to crop up on me. Maybe, I am greedy and this is my punishment.

At my first job, I worked with an older gentleman (in his 60s I would guess). Part of my job was to sweep the floor. I once made the mistake of touching his foot with the broom while I was sweeping. Apparently, it's bad luck if this happens. He kind of flipped out at me. I thought he was joking around, but he was really angry. He was a very nice guy overall, but I couldn't believe he bought into that stuff and got so angry.

If luck doesn't exist, then how do you call someone who wins the lottery?
