13 is thought to be an unlucky number in the United States. In Las Vegas I've noticed that none of the casinos have a 13th floor. I feel very differently about the number 13 since I was married on the 13th and my son was born on the 13th. I'd gamble on lucky 13 every time. Does your country have an unlucky number, and if so do you believe in it?

i dont really believe in lucky/unlucky numbers.. i mean, they vary for different people, or it might just be a coincidence, but no one really knows. For me 13 is a funny number, because i get it a lot... I was 13 years old and i got calculator #13 in math class, and my lunch pin was 13131 haha...it just happened a lot that year~ but now its gone D;

That's really weird that it popped up a lot like that in one year. Hope it turned out to be a good year. Maybe its your lucky number.

In my home country they believe that 13 is unlucky number too. you cant see any buildings with 13th floor in it. I never believed in that. My lucky number is actually 13

I onced worked in a building that had thirteen floors. The elevator only went up to twelve, so if you wanted to go to thirteen, you had to select twelve and walk up one flight. I do not have problem with Friday the 13th, it is just another day. I do not like April 1, though, I had a really bad car accident on that day once. It is a really bad memory, I usually try not to drive on that day. Years later on the same date, I was driving, it was at night, cars kept blowing at me, and I was wondering what was wrong, then I realized I was driving the wrong way on a highway. Real scary

That is really scary. I cant even imagine how terrifying that would be, kinda like a bad dream. Thank goodness you are alright now. I'd stay off the roads that day too. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I stayed in hotel rooms #13 more than once. Yes at first I feel a bit scared and all but then I realized, hey ... it's just a number. Why would I be scared of it ?

That's interesting that you feel afraid. I wonder where the fear comes from. Ghost stories, bad experiences, or just the number itself. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

Actually most hotels acroos the United States don't have a 13th floor. I never really had a problem with the number myself. In fact most numbers for me that have a 7 or a 3 in it are lucky for me. Friday the 13ths are suppose to be a very unlucky day, here in the U.S, but I always have a great day on those days. My husband on the other hand usually has bad days. If he can he tries to just sleep away any Friday the 13ths, and not get up until it's the 14th. He usually ends up hurting himself, though only minorly, and things tend to break for him. Just nothing goes right on those days for him. I tell him it's all in his mind and if one of those days comes up I try to hide it from him so he won't even know the date. lol When he doesn't know, then things go fine, which just goes to show you it's definately all in his mind.

Yeah I guess if you are looking for it you could probably find bad things on any given day. Seven and Three are great numbers. There are several sevens and three's in the bible, so I imagine they must have a significant power behind them.

That's true about Vegas, but I'm wondering if people are superstitious in other everyday activities. I'm glad you enjoy friday the 13th. I celebrate them like a holiday.
