333 post

I have this recurring thing with the number 333 which started a few years ago.. to my mind about the time my Mum died...
Anyways, it pops up in lots of situations - significant / noticed times , records in a database I'm looking at, exact mileages to places, raffle / lottery tickets I get, my voters number for local elections ... the list goes on.

The last occurrence was yesterday.
I was looking at a bulletin board about Dublin (posts related to places to eat etc) and the number of active conversations at the time I logged in was … you guessed it.

Question is : is this a spooky message from beyond (if so, how does that work – how can the ancestors influence not only printing processes but digital clocks, bulletin board counters etc etc) , is this coincidence or; is nothing at all other than me noticing a pattern once and subconsciously looking for 333 everywhere?

No answer - I just put that out there. :)
