Hello, all!
Today I'd like to talk to you about a little thing called luck.
Yes, I know that we don't all have it, and that some of us seem to have so little of it that we need to carry around severed animal parts to bring us luck. I have a solution...

This Post!

Any one who is needing luck for some reason or another just needs to reply. Here are some easy rules:

1. Write why you need luck, or if you feel the need leave that part anonymous.
2. Write, "Good luck _______(name of the last person to reply to the topic)

That's it.

Look, I know that you guys will probablly think that it's stupid but I have a really important thing coming up and I need all the luck I can get... And maybe you guys need some too!

~~Cutie

good luck squids. (which begs a question i asked once of a friend: would squidscubed.com or cubedsquids.com sound better if I meant squids to the third power.... and then, what would I use the domain for).

I need to get into grad school and finish my paper. But I fear this may be like the message board equivelant of the chain letter...

"cubedsquids.com" sounds like a culinary preparation to me. squidscubed.com is ambiguous -- it doesn't immediately make me think of chopped seafood.

Well, I hope this thread has been lucky for you all. I have had very mixed luck lately, some incredibly good, and some overwhelmingly bad! I think luck is kind of like RAM though... you can never have to much. I always pick up pennies when I find them. I know they must be lucky! As soon as I pick them up I am already one penny richer, and if some other good luck should come from the exercise, then so much the better! So good luck to you all, and wish me luck as well.

Well I took it! It was pretty easy, but I better not jinx it (shh!), although for some reason I almost forgot what kinetic and potential energy were! HUH! Anywho,..I also turned in my science project which we were given more than a week to complete and it only took me about a week to finish the model and info. requirements...thanks everyone for your lucky, heehee

You know what?
I think that this post is working because not only did we win at competition, but I found $10.00 on the ground, got the last one of this bracelet that I wanted and lastly got the sewing machine that I wanted for my birthday. Yes I know that sewing is a little out dated but you can't buy any good dance skirts, you have to make them if you want them to fit right.
Well that's about it.
Good luck to all of you,
Cutie

Well... hope this post works. Here goes:

Wish me luck, for I'm about to do something very stupid. You won't know what it is (hell, I'm not sure what I'm doing), and I probably won't tell you once I figure it all out.

I just wouldn't mind a bit of luck, is all. I'll tell you all if it works, of course.

Wish me luck because I'm broke right now, and I want to buy a new computer, new skates, a digital camera, a bike, and an air-conditioner and still have money left for school next year and to pay the bills.

And good luck to everyone else too. I found a bunch of four-leaf clovers in the yard, plus a five-leaf clover so I'm sending the luck out to everyone.

Hey Everyone!
Good Luck Paul!
I hope you find Bill Gate's Check Book, or maybe a bag full of cash. Hey, come to think of it, I'd like that too...
lol,
Well I just wanted to tell you all good luck, I haven't found any four leaf clovers but I found the floor under my bed, so that has to count for something!
Good luck to all you non-Irish People out there!
