I figure you should send that $66 to some less superstitious person ................... me f'rinstance.   

.... and to be on the safe side, it's probably best you do it before Friday the 13th.  

Old standby superstitions in Port Clyde:
Never say "pig" on a boat
Never leave a hatch cover upside down on deck
For a long time it was considered bad luck to paint a boat blue,but that seemed to go away with the first fiberglas lobster boats in the 70s
Never whistle on a boat for fear of "whistling up the wind".

Went walleye fishing on Lake Erie last summer with my good friend Shawn who brought his son. We always pack a sandwich and something to drink. So it was lunch time and at the time I didn't notice it but Shawn's son was eating a banana. The captain freaked the eff out upon seeing a banana on his boat! And we did NOT limit out that day so....

We were playing cards today and one of the ladies said she wouldn't be here next week because it was Friday 13 and she didn't get out at all for anything on that day. To each his/her own. I've never found that to be a bad day and one of the other ladies said Friday 13 was her lucky day, so go figure.

I guess I'm not at all superstitious as I don't worry about the number 666 or Friday 13 or Halloween or whatever other superstition is around. If one has to worry, there are many other things that, to me, are worse.

I've gotta bunch of black cats. Inevitably one will cross my path. It usually means the animal is heading somewhere.

But I never walk under ladders.
Never whistle past a graveyard
Never lick the lid of a spaghettios can
Never wear a tin hat in a hail storm
Never bet on the oilers

'Superstition brings misfortune'

Some more I dread….

“Breaking a Mirror: Traditionally causes seven years of bad luck.
Walking Under a Ladder: Often believed to bring misfortune
Black Cats: A cat crossing your path is considered unlucky
Opening Umbrellas Indoors: Believed to bring bad luck or misfortune upon the household.
Spilling Salt: Associated with inviting evil; throwing it over the left shoulder is believed to ward off the Devil.
Friday the 13th: Widely feared as a day of bad luck.
Knives as Gifts: Giving a knife is thought to sever the relationship; the recipient should give a coin in return to "buy" it.
Passing on the Stairs: Two people passing on a staircase is considered bad luck in some traditions.
Itchy Palms: An itchy left hand means you will lose money, while an itchy right hand means you will gain it. “

Every time I hear this sound of a small bell ringing someone happens to be standing at the front door.

The best part of Superstition is the clavanette intro.

I only played rec. ball, but I tried to avoid stepping on the foul lines.   I got away with no serious injuries, could  play defense okay, but my hitting left a fair bit to be desired.   It's too late to find out, by maybe had I stepped on a few more foul lines ........  ????

i was going to say send me 65 dollars , you keep 1 dollar and we both get safe numbers

There have been a few Friday 13s that I have celebrated at work. I had an umbrella that I would walk around the hall opening up and closing. I carried paper salt packets in my pockets which I would "spill" on the floor (I did not want to make a mess). I left pennies on the floor for people to find. And I invited coworkers to a mirror breaking at lunch time (there were no takers, likely because they understood my point). I would step on cracks all day. I considered putting a ladder over the front door of the building.

Also there are 13th floors in buildings, they just call it 14th. But it is still 13 from the first. Loopholes don't work.

"When you believe in things, that you don't understand, then you suffer-----Superstition ain't the way"

Stevie said it all.

The Mrs. is a tea drinker. She told the daughter - at a very young age, about the money in the teacup superstition: If, when you pour the tea, you get a froth of bubbles floating in the middle, it means you're going to get money.

So, there's our three-year-old kid pounding up the stairs and running into the bathroom. Wham! She sits down on the toilet. Quiet for a few seconds, and then she shouts, "I'm rich!"

By the way, Chuck, this month you don't just fear the 13th, but also the 15th - the Ides of March. Beware! And, from his asking you for the money, I'd say that Owen "hath a lean and hungry look".

Our Babe Ruth League coach Alfred Lepannen never allowed bats laying on the ground to be crossed.

^^^ the same with hockey sticks crossed in the dressing rooms.
At the Salt Lake City Olympics the Canadian men’s hockey team buried a “looney” (one dollar coin) in the ice at the centre ice dot for good luck. They won!

There is a prominent fishing guide on the Olympic Peninsula rivers who has that same banana superstition.  Most of the guides went to the same place for breakfast before hitting the rivers in the morning.  This particular guide would often find a banana hidden somewhere in his boat, placed there by one of his competing colleagues.  Sometimes the banana would be attached with light leader material so it would float behind the boat after launching.  It wasn't unusual to hear the superstitious guide break out in what sounded like a sudden acute blast of Tourettes.

Fishermen can be so cruel!  

Didn't understand a word of your numerology, but heck, I love superstitions! They make life interesting. If I didn't believe in things I don't understand, I wouldn't believe in anything at all, because frankly this world doesn't make a lot of sense. :0)

"Now, I don't know what you believe, but I do know there's no doubt
I need another double shot of something ninety-proof; I got too much to think about."

I don't usually keep track of all the minutiae, but just this a.m. I noticed .... spring has officially arrived AND first day/nite thawing temps AND saw first two Canada geese out back.  Surely something is afoot?? 

Can you begin to understand the ramifications of being born on Friday the 13th ? Yes I can.. Yes I did. I'm sure it had some effect on my journey through this world.
