Hey, congrats on your phone upgrade!
Friday the 13th, huh? Well, yes, I am superstitious. It is my superstitious belief that when a family member is taking an airplane somewhere, they won't crash as long as I'm there to watch the plane take off. This obviously works, as I've never seen a plane crash on takeoff, except on TV, which doesn't count. (Okay, yes, I do know better. I just prefer to say goodbye at the last possible minute.)
What I'm really superstitious about is the Denver Broncos. Any time I watch them play, they lose. Therefore, I'm very careful never to watch the Super Bowl when the Broncos are playing. I trust that someone will put all the really good ads on YouTube, which is the real thing I generally watch the Super Bowl for.
As for Friday the 13th, I kind of like the attitude in the old "Pogo" comic strip, where one character (Pogo? not sure) thought that it was really dangerous on those "unnatural" occasions (six months out of seven) that Friday the 13th falls on some day other than Friday.
So far I've had a very fortunate month. First I got a notice that Caseen (makers of the best screen protectors and styluses on the market, in my opinion) was holding a drawing for a new smart phone case and I was eligible to enter. I figured that, even though I already had a case for my Moto G, I could find some other use for the Caseen case, and besides, it had cats on it, so I entered, selecting the "Nerd Cats" case. http://caseen.com/3262-thickbox_01prem/linda-smartphone-clutch-wristlet-wallet-case.jpg (that's the pink one). Then I got a notice from TextNow (my cell phone company) that I could upgrade to a second generation Moto E for $5.00. This counts as an upgrade primarily because, unlike the Moto G, the Moto E accepts a 32 gig microSD card. Naturally, I jumped at it, especially since I don't have to turn in the Moto G and can still use it as a camera, while putting as many apps as I want on the new phone. Then I received notification that I had won the drawing for a new smart phone case, which means I won't have to buy another because the Moto G case wouldn't fit the Moto E. And then I got an email saying I could get a 32 gig microSD card at Office Depot for $17 and change.
I never win things like the lottery, because I don't gamble, so it's rather a big deal when I win a drawing that didn't require anything but entering. And, incidentally, I'm very pleased with TextNow. I pay less than $20 a month for service, and have unlimited data as long as I can do it via Wifi.
