Don't make moves on RHP to-day, if you don't have to.
And check time zones so as your opponents must play on that day and you can reply from safe zone (Chinese players and others are favourized).

Dive,

It is still Friday the 13th here! I guess it would depend on the time zone you live in.

So far so good, but the day isn't over yet!

5 minutes to midnight and everything is ok. Good thing I didn't walk under the ladder... 🙂

As you didn't do it, you'll never know. 😉

Regardless of the day, a lot of my dates only used to last about half an hour. We'd have the starter and I'd launch into one of my set piece chats about the Grateful Dead in the first half of the 1970s and then, all of a sudden, she'd remember that she had to go home.

Do you have a pet superstition?
Knocking wood to avoid any possible tragedy verbalized. Knocking plastic, stainless steel or whatever else might be within reach if wood is not available. More of a habit at this point then a real superstition, but one never can be too careful.

Apparently Saturday 14th is statistically more unlucky than Friday 13th.

Hope you get this message in time.

And don't forget that most accidents happen in our homes.

I could add my own experiences: falling on slippery floors, stumbling over vacuum-cleaner, carpets etc.

I think it could be anybody's home, often a place where we feel safe.
