This is # 667

I was just getting ready to shut off the computer and go work on my Ranger, when I noticed I had just posted #666. I just figured that it would be a very bad thing to let "666" go 24 hours with "the mark of the beast" on my back. So I decided to pad my posts tonight. I probably would not have been able to sleep! This is a padded post, but I think I have a legitimate reason for doing so. At least I didn't say "ditto", or "I agree", or some other post padding answer. I beg the moderators to let this one slip by. Thanks! I'll sleep better tonite. 667 doesn't seem as bad as 666.

At least you can post and it is over for you, the last digits of my SS number are 666. If I were the superstitious type I would wonder about the number 6 always popping up with me. In my wallet is a credit card, experation date 6(June) - 06. I have a Home Depot Gift Card with a $6.66 balance. A while back I spent a whole year being 66 years old. I have 6 grand-daughters and live in the 6th house from the corner. A 6th sense is telling me to end this post.

I think that as long as the number is not on your hand or forehead, it is simply a number.

Truth is, I probably would have padded my count, too. lol

The intrusting thing about superstition, it has no bounds of age, race, religion or geographic location.
It is actually more predominate the older we get.

yeah, well get this guys, lol, once had a girlfriend.... her phone# had a consecutive 666, her first, middle and last name were 6 letters each, her locker number... 666, and here's the kicker... for our 2 year ann. (terrible waste of 2 years), I bought her a limited edition bear (ya ya ya, sounds dumb, but i was young and stupid) that was individually numbered... well, i'll let you guess what number it was. So needless to say, I kicked her to the curb, lol. But yes, being a deeply religious (highly conservative Christian), I'm not too worried about it so long as it's not on the hand or forehead (mark of the beast).

Yeah, I hear you.
Last summer, I pulled into my driveway, looked down at my odometer, and it said 66,666.6 I drove to the store, just to put a mile on the silly thing, just couldn't leave that.
