RE: Lucky 13

in Galenkp's Stuff3 months ago

Hello Galen, with number 13 I bring a curious family story. My father liked the number 13 and every week he would compare in the cafeteria where he had breakfast a lottery number ending in 13, always the same number. One week, tired of not winning anything, he did not buy the number and that week the number he played for so many years, except for that week, was the number that won the first prize in the national lottery. After that, I never asked my father if he ever played number 13 again. And we never spoke again about that day when he could have won a big prize and didn't win it. What is certain, is that for many people, that day, the number 13 was the lucky number.

Best regards

Oh no, that's not good at all! I feel sorry for him after all that time playing the number. There's a lesson there, I don't know what it is, but it's there I think.

I hope your Saturday goes well.

My Saturday is going well, so far. There's a saying around here that goes, “that the day is going well until someone comes along and fucks it up”. I hope the translator found the right translation.

About the lesson, if one is made with a dream I had, and that I will tell the day it is time to talk about dreams, it is that the only luck is work....

I hope your Saturday goes well too.

Yep, we have a similar saying, the translator did a reasonable job. It's cold here, 10C and wet but the wind has stopped which is good. We're going out for dinner tonight which should be nice, then home to watch F1 qualifying live from Hungary (and coffee and snacks).

Sounds like a very good plan, enjoy it as you deserve. Around here, if it is not as hot as yesterday (we reached almost 40 degrees Celsius) I will go to see an exhibition this afternoon, now I take the opportunity to feel the “freshness” 😁 of the morning.
