Another wet day. We walked anyway. If rain was going to keep us from walking we wouldn't walk often between now and next April or May. After we came back we headed for the thrift store. DH found some folks to chat with while I browsed. I was looking for (and found) a King sized bed sheet in pale gray $4 .
It's in perfect condition too. A few more items jumped into my cart. The reindeer cushion cover is just the right size to fit over the cushion I had that had pumpkins on it. Having stuffed the Pumpkin one into it I might as well leave it as an early ( very early) Christmas decor.
I couldn't resist the pretty reusable bag for .75. I can always use another one. Magazines are so expensive if bought new but at 2 for a dollar who cares if they're not this year's latest.
Just in time for Halloween....
How widespread are superstitions around the “unlucky” number 13? More than 80 percent of high-rise buildings in the United States don’t have a 13th floor, and nearly all hotels, hospitals and airports avoid using the “cursed” number for rooms or boarding gates. Most airlines skip row 13 on planes, too.
That’s because an estimated 10 percent of the U.S. population and 14 percent of people in Britain have a legitimate fear of the number 13. (In Asia, 4 is considered the unluckiest number.) No stats for Canada.
Thanks for visiting.
I have called superstitions "STUPIDstitions" for a very long time, because they are fictitious! Black cats, for example, just to name one.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe at all in superstitions. But here in Montreal there are some buildings that have a 13th floor. However, practically every building that I know of avoids the number 13 in the individual apartments (such as residential buildings).
I was unaware about the airplanes. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Nice finds!
ReplyDeleteI am not superstitious about the number 13, being one of a family of 13 siblings!
I took a walk too! 🥰
ReplyDeleteNice finds at the thrift shop!
