Are you a paraskevidekatriaphobe?
Here are some precautions you can take to stay lucky this Friday the 13th.
- Stand on your head and swallow a chunk of beef gristle.
- Take a holey sock to the top of a skyscraper or a mountain.
- Walk around the block with a mouthful of water--and be careful not to swallow it.
- Tie a sack of peony seeds around your neck (not too tight, though).
- Avoid crossing paths with a black cat.
- Do not walk underneath a ladder.
- Try not to break any mirrors!
- Say "Gesundheit!" or "Bless you!" if someone sneezes.
Good luck to you all! Have a great Friday!

beef gristle? that's lucky? I feel lucky if the steak doesn't have some.
I'm very anti-superstition. So that means I'm probably going to die from the impact of something falling from a ladder.
Happy 13th
Only Irish people have bad luck on F.13. It's retribution for pinching non-Irish on St.Paddy's day for not wearing green. This is true.
Peonies are among my most-adored flowers.
I saw this story today, and remembered all of my new midwestern friends. You guys are the best. Eye heart ewe.
I love me some gristle but so often dont get a chance to sit down to a plate of well steamed delight.
All my best,
JQP
Timaaaaaaayyyyyy
You look gorgeous in that photo. I mean it.
Just sayin!
I'm not superstitious. I have a black cat in my house and another one in the barn.
I LOVE Friday the 13th! Not the movie though. I am squeamish.
It is one of my favourite holidays. My friends and I celebrate it almost religiously.
You know that line about stepping on a crack will break your mother's back?
It doesn't work. I've tried. Many, many times.
