    I know there is a lot of controversy about the number 13. And no 13th floor, I am led to believe, nowhere in America. Still, I have been suffering from chronic illness all my life. Turns out, I learned in 2009, 13 years ago, that all the pain I endure is mostly caused by food. Though the specific triggers were still nebulous, turns out I got a lot of allergies: celiac/gluten, egg, many vegetables... And, apart from the gluten, I had to discover them all by myself (I tried many doctor but they couldn't help). Anyway I think I nailed it and since last December life has been mostly good. Finally. After such a long time. Yoooooo hoooooo! :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :-D :cool:

    Cheers to you for getting a pain-free life! On the subject, we had to change a number for one of our products because it sounds like "Death" in Chinese (apparently, Chinese is huge on treating numbers as words, good n8 being only a very mild example) and the MR2 didn't sell terribly well in France. Feel free to guess why :p

      Thanks! :) It took me 30 seconds to figure the problem with MR2, losing my French! :laugh:

        My birthdate is on a 13. I'm still trying to decide whether I'm more or less lucky than the average person who was not born on a 13.

        My daughter was born on Friday the 13th (supposedly a very unlucky day) and since then, 13 has had good connotations for me.

            Greetings Kind Regards Nice to hear you solved your problem . May I please inquire your solution . Is it merely avoidance of the triggers ? Kind Regards - Cheerio "I once put instant coffee into the microwave and went back in time." - Steven Wright "Shut up and calculate" - apparently N. David Mermin possibly Richard Feynman My sympathies to the SPAM moderator “I want to sing, I want to cry, I want to laugh. Everything together. And jump and dance. The day has arrive — yippee!” - Desmond Tutu “When the green flag drops the bullshit stops!” "It is cheaper to save the world than it is to ruin it."

              Yes, it is merely avoidance of trigger. But there is a difficulty, some food trigger thing one day and not the next (food intolerance have some sort of cumulative effect) and some food are barely negative while other are very detrimental, and also some food have small effect for a long time... it took me a while to decypher it satisfactorily... In fact my biggest is for years was eggs... if mixed with other thing they make me feel just "somewhat unwell" but it still last for like 2 weeks. Making it hard to get thing right... :/ Now, I can eat slightly bad food when going out (like 1~2 days symptom tops), which make it more socially feasible as well. And I have a wide enough diet I am not frustrated and sick.

                Well I'm not a superstitious man but I do have a lot of fun playing on them. I tell everyone that I got myself the "iPhone Cursed" (v. 13) and I'm just waiting to see what great bug is going to make it a self-fulfilling propechy :laugh:
