Friday the 13th ~ the Lucky Antidote! a charmed bracelet Friday the 13th, long considered unlucky. What could make it unluckier? Well, walking under a ladder. Spilling salt. Opening an umbrella indoors. Having a black cat cross your path. Breaking a mirror. Sleeping on a table. Refusing a kiss under the mistletoe. Chasing someone with a broom. Dropping a dishcloth. Rocking an empty rocking chair. The list is endless.
