Frootbat Friday the 13th!



Miles: what kitty is afraid of Friday the 13th?

Pierro, where are you? are you afraid of Friday the 13th??

Pierro: Miles, I am not afraid of anything


Miles: Pierro where are you!?
where bronkie are you!!??

Are you invisabibble?
Did you disappear on Friday the 13th!??

Pierro: I am bonkbonk right here silly
Happy Friday the 13th

~~Friday the 13th is an unlucky day in much of Western Europe, North America, and Australia. Many people avoid travel and avoid signing contracts on Friday the 13th. Floors in tall buildings often skip from 12 to 14. And while the superstition is believed to be fading, many still have a keen interest in the supposedly unlucky day.
~~References to Friday the 13th as a day connected with bad luck generally began to show up in western literature around the mid-17th century. There are quotes referencing Friday the 13th that date back to 1656, or perhaps earlier. Friday's were considered a bad day for many ordinary tasks, from writing letters to conducting business and receiving medical treatment!

Here are some funny superstitions
about Friday the 13th,

and apparently, Fridays in general
from way back in olden times:

Needleworking: "I knew an old lady who,
if she had nearly completed a piece of needlework on a Thursday, would put it aside unfinished,
and set a few stitches in her next undertaking,
that she might not be obliged either to begin the new task on Friday
or to remain idle for a day." (1883)
Hearing news: "If you hear anything new on a Friday,
it gives you another wrinkle on your face,
and adds a year to your age." (1883)
Moving: "Don't move on a Friday,
or you won't stay there very long." (1982)

Frootbat Friday and Happy Bonk New Year

Miles:
We hope all of you had a safe and bronkie happy Krissmiss
and that you are ready for the Happy New Year

Pierro:
Yep, we are going to be here by the big window
and wait for the new year to tumble in.
Our Frootbat ears will be perked up for any notable bonk signs.


Happy New Year

We will open the book.
Its pages are blank.
We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
and its first chapter is
New Year's Day.

~Edith Lovejoy Pierce


A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near,

A little gift from one held dear,

Best wishes for the coming year!!

Miles: We are all set to bronk and be good kitties until Krissmiss

Pierro: Happy Frootbat Friday!




Miles:
here is a kwote for our mom
who just celebrated her birthday yesterday:

When I was younger,
I could remember anything,
whether it had happened or not;
but my faculties are decaying now
and soon I shall be so I cannot remember
any but the things that never happened.

~~Mark Twain
(hoo-bronk is that ever true :-P )
