I once won a first day cover (for those not old enough to know it was an envelope with new stamps on) at school on Fri 13... So of course it is a super lucky day!
Wow, I can't even imagine how one would pronounce that word... o_O
It's a phobia of parakeets! LOL!! Happy Friday lovely Patsy!! Take care

Kitty's answer made me laugh!
I hadn't even registered the date, but I like the number 13, Friday or not!
A wordy friend of mine has just posted that Friggatriskaideskaphobia means the same thing - Frigg was a Norse Goddess whom Friday is named after. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing that with you.
Now please record yourself saying it, Patsy. We need to know what it sounds like.
I think they still do them, Wendy so you're not giving anything away.
Took me three goes just to type it, Heather.
Or videos of parachutes, Kitty?
It is a good suggestion, Alex.
I wouldn't have taken much notice of the date if I hadn't wanted to use the word, Rosemary.
I didn't know that, Maggie - interesting. Not really any easier to say though.
It goes something like this, Frances; Para-cough-mumble-cough-phobia.
That word is so big, it's scary - or German, 'cause they really have some long ones! lol
There are some very long words in German, Lexa. Maybe they just want to prove English isn't the hardest to learn?
Great word. I did not hide under the covers yesterday, but I wish I had!
I stayed in all day, just to be on the safe side ;)

Oh dear, Rachel - what happened?
That's cheating, Vikki.
