Have a nice weekend.
The day before my wedding was a Friday the Thirteenth, but thankfully all that went well. :-)
Happy Friday the 13th! :-)
Some interesting points made in your post.
Yvonne.
I don't really mind them -- I've never had anything awful happen on one. (Oops. Hope I didn't just jinx it! *knocks wood*)

Who comes up with those phobia names? #9 looks like a fear of parakeets.

Luanne - It's after 6pm and I'm still here - knock on wood!

Golden Eagle - Now you'll be the smartest one around next time talk rolls around to Friday the 13th :)
Donna - If we could only figure out how to call them holidays....
Laura - I'm glad you're back in business. After my own run-ins with Blogger, I know it's no fun. I didn't attempt to pronounce either of them.
Karen - I'll bet those were the most fun ones!
Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror & Other Memoirs

That explains a lot. :)
Happy weekend, Carol!
