September 11th

How many of you like me ,are avoiding purchasing dairy or perishable products these days that have an expiry date of September 11th ?

It was weird, I was at the grocery store today and practically everything I needed from the dairy department had a Sept 11th Expiry or Best before date.

Milk,Cream,Yogurt,Cream Cheese
I avoided buying them as it just didnt feel good to me.
Not for the reason that maybe these products had been on the shelf for a while but because the over-whelming amount fo thing with that date on them.
It was a like a bad omen for me to buy them.

It could be a bad omen but I wouldn't worry about it. The computer that prints those things doesn't know what 9/11 is all about.

If I am set to expire on September 11 and I get word of it, then I worry....but that goes with any other day, to be honest.

But, my bills go away along with any other worries I have at that point.

Party on.

Anyone here avoid any "thing" with the expiration date of 12-7?

Probably not. So why 9-11?

Now 9-11-2001 has significant meaning.

Now if some feel the need to avoid the 9-11 expiration number, by all means do so.

Guess I'm not superstitious.
