The Superstitious Panties.
Middle age. The two words most women, (and men), hate. Me? I go by the phrase, “Age is but a number,” until this morning after my shower. I can sometimes be a superstitious person-I won’t walk under ladders, if a black cat crosses in front of me while I’m driving I get a little nervous and I loathe the number 13. Ok, you may think I’m being a bit illogical in my thinking, but if what I saw this morning is any indication of what is yet to come, I’m doomed.
I got out of the shower this morning and opened a brand new pack of panties I had forgotten about-and thank goodness I found them because everything I own was drying, or wet in the washing machine at the time. I open the pack and decide on the blue ones with the pink, yellow and green flowers. Nothing fancy, just the run-of-the-mill cotton briefs, (and come to think of it, typical middle-aged woman panties). Since they were in a sealed pack I wasn’t concerned with washing them as usual, plus I needed something to put on so I had no choice. As I’m putting them on-I notice a sticker in the crotch. A tiny, white, squared sticker with the number 13 printed in black. 13. The unlucky number. The number of doom and gloom.
“Great, this has to mean that no one other than myself will ever see, much less have anything to do with the crotch of my panties-ever.”-I said this out loud, alone in my bathroom.
I’m supposed to be reaching my sexual peak, yet this little sticker tells me otherwise. Is this a sign of things to come? Should I buy the super powerful shower-head and say forget it?
When I finished putting my pajamas on, since it’s too cold to go out this morning, I sat down here at the laptop and opened my calendar-guess what? Exactly 13 days until my 35th birthday. Good-bye sex, it was nice knowing you, if even for a brief time.
Actually I was born 13 days after Halloween. It’s MY lucky number. Maybe it’s a GOOD sign.

13 is a very lucky number. I guess it just depends on how you look at it!
My poor husband has been a very depressed man ever since I hit 35. Oh, well.

I like 13. It’s been pretty lucky for me. But then I laugh in the face of bad luck. Mwahahaha!! (Yeah, that’s probably why I’m so “jinxed”.)
That last line is classic.
13 isn’t my lucky number, but isn’t unlucky. My lucky number is 27. Though I’m not sharing why, as it’s to do with a hobby which isn’t really talked about with much respect in public.
Look on the bright side beth, maybe your next panties will have 69 on them!

Meh. 13 is overrated. I say pick a different pair of another color and check your calendar again tomorrow. The only problem is if the entire package was inspected by #13. Just kidding. Thanks for the laugh on an otherwise drab day.

superstition is just a matter of logic. if u feel that a black cat crossing ur path brings u bad luck then it will transpire into bad luck if u keep on thinking about it. personally, i used to believe in superstitions when was a child but as i grew up, reasoning took over my thinking and i stoped wasting my time on them.
but i was LOL after reading ur post.
Leigh: With no prospects in site- 13 can’t mean anything good lol
Lisa: My mom said her 35th year was her worst- I can’t wait LOL
Jenny: lol- I am jinxed. I mean hell I just lost a job because I couldn’t afford to pay for a trip. I was washing clothes yesterday and hit my head on the dryer door after which, I was vacuuming and ran over the cord to my desk lamp and thank goodness it wasn’t plugged in or I wouldn’t be typing this LOL
Rhys: Please, come to the US. Sure, you’re younger than me but if 27 has anything to do with what I am so hoping it does, I need you on Feb. 3. I could only hope I find a pair of panties with a number 69 tag.
Geekstr: lol I did check the other panties in the pack and none of them had little stickers. So I guess inspector #13 did the entire pack. Yay for me. Maybe I’ll have a panty burning and take pics.
Daniel: Yeah I know it’s all logic and how one proceeds with life. But come on- you can’t tell me you haven’t once thought about walking under a ladder
…just wanted to chime in with a little FYI about “Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair,” wish gets its origin from the musical “South Pacific”. If you’re into live theater at all, you’ll love the whole thing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad production of it.
I will admit, though, that I first heard the song in the shampoo commercial, too…

In Italy, 13 is considered a LUCKY number!
I do like Italian men… that’s it, I’m moving to Italy.
Well I can’t say much about superstitions. I have walked under numerous ladders. I owned a black cat for 15 years. The number 13 is just a number in my opinion and my favorite number is 4
