    I do. And I emphasize irrational because I think it is. Mine is the number 4. The house I owned was the street number 4 only. My kitty Chloe died on January 4. I have a few other things I don't like about the number.

    I've been doing some silly little knitting items. I did two in dark yarn and three in light yarn. I started a forth in light yarn and I think "oh no that's 4. I might have to do a fifth" I started thinking this before I even started knitting the forth one.

    This is ridiculous but I can't help it.

    Side note, when I sold the house it closed on a Friday the 13th.

    My number is 25, good and bad things happened with that number.

    My husband's bday is May 25, he died June 25, and we were married on July 25. Christmas is also the 25th which is good.

    My son was married on Jan 24. So 01 +24 =25, lots of other examples like that in my life.

    LOLO oh good Lord.. not really, there is way too much else going on to fret about. i will say this, my lucky number is 8. I do not like the months
    January June or July.... and refused to marry (after the first one) or become involved with a man whose name started with J.
    I do like even numbers vs odd. That is it fer me :D

    So that's what my problem was with the man I lived with for a few years after my husband died....his name began with a J. :)

    Oh wow, that's a lot of association with the number 25. My birthday is on a 31st. Adds up to 4. I realized that awhile back.

    Yes, I certainly do. It's my age in years!

    When I was a lot younger...probably the number 13 because of all that the world, etc. was saying about that number being so unlucky. Hotels did not usually have a 13th floor, Friday the 13th, etc.

    As I grew up and saw for myself that most times nothing really happened when this number came around on the Calender, etc. I stopped thinking this number was bad.

    And actually it is a good number too...as a Baker's Dozen originally consisted of not 12 but 13 sweet treats! :)

    All superstition is fear caused by ignorance ... the thirteenth tarot card is Mr. Death so that's that one sorted .

    I'm going to finish knitting that 4th item and try not to worry about it.

    As a rule, numbers don't scare me.
    Except if they have a "-" in front of them...

    -20° F = too cold for me

    -11.23 = my checking account is in the red
