13: A Significant Number
Growing up, I used to be wary of the number 13 because of its implication with bad luck. As it turned out, I’ve experienced some significant turning points in my life on days that fall on the 13th. I’d say that most of these turning points were good.
1. 8/13/85: I started my first real job at my local bank.
2. 4/13/89: I got in a car accident, which disabled me for several months. But in the end, I got a decent settlement which allowed me to buy a new bedroom set and have some spending money for my honeymoon.
3. 2/13/93: My husband and I moved into our rental place and lived there for almost 13 years.
4. 10/13: My youngest son was born on Friday the 13th. He was overdue and had pooped in his water bag. The doctors were wary of pneumonia, but the only thing he got was jaundice.
5. 8/13/2005: We moved into our first house.
Do you have a number that keeps popping up in your life?

I don’t have a number, I have a month - May. I won’t type a list of the things that happened, it’s all bad and too depressing.
I’m glad 13 is lucky for you. It isn’t that unlucky for me either…usually.

A bit triskaidekaphobic are we?
I waited on a guy last Friday and his total came to $13.13.
He ended up buying something else to get rid of the double 13’s.
Hmmm…

Hee-hee.
I would have liked to have seen the look on that guy’s face when you rang up his purchase.

27 keeps popping in my life. Lot’s of big journey’s and life changing events have happened on the 27th, in fact I’m usually surprised when something big happens and it isn’t the 27.
I cleaned up on the roulette tables with 27 for a couple of years, but fear I finally wore out it’s luckiness.
I considered registering Lucky27 as my domain name for a while but I think it was taken.

That’s interesting, especially the part about the roulette tables. Have you tried Luckytwenty-seven.com?
