I would like to wish my sister Diane a happy birthday today! Why am I wishing her a Happy Birthday here?

Well today is the 13th!

So what does that mean to everyone that were born on a 13th of any month:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- We have some good and bad news for anyone who is superstitious.

There are only two Friday the 13ths in 2023 and we are getting the first out of the way on Jan. 13. But many of you may be wondering when the second spooky Friday is.

Well, we have some eerie news for you.

The last Friday the 13th of 2023 is in the spookiest month of the year: October. This might not be a good sign for people who get creeped out by the day.

Did you know there is a name for someone scared of Friday the 13th?

The word for fear of Friday the 13th is a little difficult to say. It's called paraskevidekatriaphobia.

For those of you who don't know, here are some things someone who is superstitious will avoid doing on Friday the 13th:

Avoid breaking any mirrors
Don't walk under any ladders or by any black cats
Don't open an umbrella indoors
Don't spill any salt
Don't pick up a penny facing down

Happy Birthday to all of you born on January 13!

Happy birthday and good luck to Diane. 🎂🍀

However, I'm doomed and not just on Friday the 13th. OK, I do avoid breaking mirrors (because that's just too messy and a PITA to clean up), but avoiding black cats? 🐈‍⬛🤣🐈‍⬛ Not spilling any salt? 😄 Umbrellas? (What? I'm supposed to wait until I'm IN the rain getting wet to open them?) 😁 Picking up money? I'm not picky about how it's facing and I generally call tails anyway in a coin toss. 🪙

But I guess I'm safe since I don't consider myself a paraskevidekatriaphobic. 🤞🤞(Now where did I put my rabbit's foot? 😉)

Good after to all of the Front Porchers! Hoping you are have a great day! We are looking at an overnight snow storm with about 4" of white stuff.

Have a restful evening.

I'm having an issue posting photos. Am I the only one?

Hi folks. Many of your old timers will recall that my mom had a major stroke which has kept her in bed since 2018. She passed on to join her beloved parents, sister and husband this morning about 6AM. She did so with the help from hospice here in our mountain home. I fetched her friend and companion from the nursing home forthe night's vigil. I wish I did not feel so crummy.

This morning started at 8:30 at the dentist to get a tooth prepared for a crown which will be installed February 9th. I also had an old filling replaced. Good news was that I did not need a root channel in the area of the crown.

@DaveMcK ...root canals are not fun! Glad you don't need one!

So....

Yay, Birds!

It's a Philly thing!

We are going to the Super Bowl!

Can’t wait to see good ole Andy Reid and his Chiefs in combat!

And Kelce vs Kelce! Whoa...poor Mom and Dad, but lucky Mom and Dad since they will be winners in any case!

“It’s a Philly thing!”

Hi folks, Hanging in there best I can. Sooo wet here, rain will not stop!! I think my mood would improve if the sun came out but no chance for several days yet. Stay warm & dry everyone. @DaveMcK Good for you no root canal, a crown is bad enough.

Really going to try the warm bit this weekend, with Negative highs on Friday and Saturday for actual temps, -50’s for windchill days.

Been a weird week lost a friend of 30+ years, finally got an appointment for flu & Covid that’ll prove great whenever the service is for friend.

@DaveMcK

Been there for the need of dental work, maybe March that should allow time for everything to work out for me. No dental works until March or April, courtesy of pacemaker.

@Frozenoem Glad to hear that life is treating you better these days.

Things are treating us better here today. We had below zero temperatures at night for a few days. We also had a little over 6" of snow which will be mostly melted by Friday as we will be having high temperatures of 40+ for several days.

Kick-off for the big game -- PUPPY BOWL XIX! 🐶🏈 (Animal Planet). Frankly, I'm looking forward to the rockin' Kitty Halftime Show. 😸😺

Wishing @catwoman500 good luck in that other game later on. 🦅

Got my annual colonoscopy coming up on Wed. Glad I don't have any romantic plans for Valentine's 💘 Day. 😜

Hi folks! Checking in. Not very cold here but oh my so wet. We get a day or two of sun and back we go with more rain. At least the daqys are longer even if they are gray. @MsStretch Wish you good luck with the "procedure".

Condolences, @catwoman500 . Both teams played a heckuva game. Funny how it always comes down to the last minutes.

Happy Valentine's Day to all. 💝💖 Since tomorrow is C-day, I will be enjoying a solo romantic dinner of some tasty chicken bouillon complemented with a cold, crisp glass of clear Gatorade. I might even feel a little bon vivant and indulge in a decadent dessert of some absolutely scrumptious Jell-o. Guaranteed to make me feel like a queen 👑 who will definitely have to sit on her throne! 🚽

Happy to report that, this year, I got a clean report with my c-procedure! 🥳 (The prep still sucks for me. I walked in there starved, with a horrendous caffeine headache 🤯, and utterly exhausted. 🥱) Doc says see you in 6 months (given my history, that is what is recommended). Heh, heh, yeah, right. 😑

@MsStretch Good for you and I am glad it is behind you! @catwoman500 Still wet and downright slippery. Rain will hold off for 3 days and then comes back😏.
