There are seven days in a week and the last day of the week is Sunday.
Saturday is the sixth.
Funny, Foxwoods is giving away $7,000 every 7 minutes to every 7th customer today, with every 7th winner winning 777 million each time the clock sticks 7:00.
Or something like that.

I'm feeling indifferent to be honest. But part of me is wondering if something might happen as today is the 2 year aniversary of the london bombings.

Saturday is the sixth.In the United States, calenders normally list the week as starting on Sunday, so Saturday appears last (7th). My understanding that in Europe the normal practice is to list Monday as the first day of the week, which makes Saturday the sixth day of the week.

Wrong, Saturday is the 7th, the week begins on a Sunday
Wiki tells me so

OK, I know that you weren't looking for anything too deep, but yes, I feel lucky.
All my life my mom and dad talked about the family luck being bad. If something bad happened it was always "That's just the Smith* Family luck kicking in." No matter what happened, it was always looked at in a negative light.
But I gotta say that maybe it is how you frame it. Two years ago I nearly died (OK sorry, I probably mention it too often, but it was a pretty big moment in my life...) Mom said "That's just the Smith Family luck kicking in." She seems to think that I had horrible luck that night.
My thought: I was lucky enough to have a surgeon both skilled and dedicated enough to spend 10 1/2 hours saving my life. I could have had someone less skilled and that would have been bad luck.
Life isn't perfect and some days are still a struggle, but yeah, I feel pretty lucky.
(Now if I win the lottery today I'll feel even luckier! :))

So far I've dealt with seven separate things.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

No, I didn't plan it. I noticed the 7x4 approaching and thought I would do a Search for "lucky" in the thread title. The rest is history.
So I guess I did get particularly lucky this time out. :cool: :)

bbs, I think this might sound bitchy, but please believe me when I say I'm just genuinely curious: why would you use IE (esp 6) over virtually any other browser? I'm not very familiar with IE 7, but you didn't like that either?

It was actually my 800th post... but 8+0+0+25+8 (T being the 25th letter and H being the 8th) = 41! Add 8 (the number at the beginning and end of that summation) to 41, and you get 49! Which is, of course, Seven Squared!!!!!

Eerie stuff.
DIOMEDES in letter/number substitution is 4,9,15,13,5,4,5,19
The first two: 49...7 x 7!
The next two: 15 + 13 = 28...a factor of 7! And each number 1 off of 14...another factor of 7!
The next three: 54 - 5 = 49 ...7 squared again! And 5 + 4 + 5 = 14. A factor yet again of 7!
The last number is 19. Doesn't seem to have anthing to do with...but wait! S is the 19th letter of the 26 letter alphabet. And 26 - 19 = ...7!
Destiny...thy name is Diomedes!
