Friday The 13th...ahhh

First of all, I'd like to say I'm not a paraskevidekatriaphobe ( the fancy Greek term for people who fear Friday the 13th). Well, today I saw this page on msn news and here are all the tidbits that were good in the article. All the stuff I add are in italics.

When you yawned this morning (after getting up on the right side of the bed and starting your day off on the right foot), did you carefully cover your mouth?Probably so. It's what we do to be polite. But there's more to it than this--people used to think that your soul would rush out of your body if you issued an unprotected yawn. Freaky eh?

Phobia--a persistent fear that can alter a person's life, even if he or she knows that it's irrational.

Maybe you never thought of Friday as unlucky.It's the start of the weekend for me. But Friday also carries negative connotations. For starters, Eve is rumored to have given Adam the apple on a Friday, according to Donald Dossey, founder-director of the Phobia Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Talk about a snack that's spelled eternal heartburn, even in Disney films. What fruit knocked out Snow White? Right. The apple.

About 90 percent of Otis elevators don't have a button for the 13th floor. The U.S. Navy won't launch a ship on Friday the 13th.

Ok back to me. No more article stuff. Today is also the official launch of my children caught in crossfire foundation. By creating this tiny organization I hope to encourage others to help the needy out there.
