I myself, am not superstitious. I don't believe much happens by chance. But I know a lot of folks do and if anything--everybody has some routine they do everyday-- in a "just in case" way.

So here's a list of things that are good and bad to do on Friday the 13th, some are old standards and some are---- OUT THERE!

Friday the 13th! -- It's bad luck to:

• Begin a new job or a trip
• Cut off both ends of a loaf of bread
• Flip your mattress
• Put new shoes on the table
• Leave your hat on the bed
• Walk under a ladder
• Pour water on a windowsill
• Plant potatoes
• Lean a broom on a bed
• Open an umbrella indoors
• Do housework
• Wear new clothes
• Cut your hair
• Sneeze to your left side
• Have a black cat cross your path

It's good luck to:

• Cut your finger nails on a Friday to avoid a toothache during the month.
• Take candy to a friend during your first visit of the New Year.
• Pick the first violets of spring.
• When you set the table, place the salt down first.
• If you drop a spoon, expect friends to drop by soon.
• If your left hand itches, money will come to you.
• When you move to a new house, take a broom and a loaf of bread with you.
• Put a red bow on a newborn baby.
• Don't sweep dust out the front door or you'll sweep away good luck.
• Make a wish when you see the first robin of spring. If it doesn't fly away before you finish wishing it'll come true.

So what do you think? Are they crazy? Any stories of them proving true for you? Any off-beat superstitions you abide by?
