Here at SmileyBuzz headquarters, we're always looking out for you. Because we spend many hours each day thinking up new ways to make you smile - and we recognize that those smiles can be hard to come by should an unfortunate accident happen to befall you.

That's why we'd like to take this opportunity to advise you that if any black cats should happen to appear in front of you today, you might want to turn and walk the other way. And don't even think about walking underneath that ladder perched up against the side of that building. You may want to avoid even stepping on those cracks in the sidewalk pavement...just to be safe.

Why? Well, a quick glance at the calendar will tell you all you need to know. It's Friday the 13th!

For all you paraskavedekatriaphobics out there, we have just two words: be careful. And because we recognize that you'll likely want to remind your fearful friends, family members and neighbors what day it is, we created a special Friday the 13th eCard just to help you out.

If sending a smiley to warn your friends is more your style, you'll find our "cat"-ostrophic kitty in the Holiday section of Smiley Central - simply by clicking on the "Other" link at the top of the section window.

But we'd also like to take this opportunity to learn more about you, dear reader.

Are there some particularly unique or dark superstitions that you'd like to share?
Now's the time to come clean. Shoot me an email by clicking on the link on my profile page - and your idiosyncrasies may very well make it into a future post...for all your fellow SmileyBuzzsters to see.
