    Smile No goodwill today :>(

    Access to my local Goodwill store has been blocked, the road was closed!!!!

    A small plane crashed ater takeoff today

    http://www.wwsb.tv/

    It crashed about 500 feet away from the store I used to manage, good thing it was taking off, when they land they fly right over my old store,

    It crashed about 200 feet from the local pachislo dealers shop!!!!

    Friday the 13th is when my parents met.
    They have been happily married now for 47 years and are still going strong.
    So this is a good day in our family.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    So this is a good day in our family.
    My wife and I started dating seriously on a Friday the 13th.. so we always celebrate it in our family-this evening we went out to dinner and now we are watching Raiders of the Lost Ark (partly also to celebrate the recent arrival of our Indiana Jones pachinko and refresh our memory of the movies).

    It's kinda cool because we get a random holiday every now and then that we don't expect until a few days before.

    We also chose our son's birthday (planned c-section) to be the 13th (though it was a Thursday) so he'd occasionally have a birthday on Friday the 13th.

    Good luck for us because we make it so!!

    Signed the contract on this truck on Fri 13th. At least it's running good now (knock on wood!)

    In the case of Greece, Tuesday, April 13, 1204 was the date that Constantinople was sacked by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade. The first-ever fall of what was then the richest Christian city, and the looting that followed, allegedly gave Tuesday 13 its bad meaning. Coincidentally, Constantinople fell for the second time in its history on Tuesday, May 29, 1453, to the Ottoman Turks, a date that puts an end to the Byzantine empire, and to Greek sovereignty for several centuries, and therefore reinforcing Tuesday as an unlucky day in the Greek world. refrance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th
