Sharing Birthdays...  

Oh, that's right! I didn't even think of that--or of including disasters in my post!

Most of us would be, I think!

Hi Dranz!

That's an interesting answer, I think! If you believe in astrology at all, maybe that explains why 4 people with the same birthdate were all attracted to the same website! Of course, since you started the website--I think you deserve extra special recognition for that, anyway!

I also imagine since there are only 365 days in a year, that we all share our birthdays with lots of other people--some famous, some not. I think it's funny that you don't think you'd like any famous people who might share your birthday--is it because they are famous, or because they also have the same birthday?

Thanks for an interesting response!

Hi Hatley! Oh, so does your son have a "regal" air about him? Their birthdays aren't too far away are they?! Time sneaks up on us!
I've seen you mention elsewhere that he likes certain kinds of music--maybe a dvd of his favorite kind would do--or a gift card for it? Just trying to be helpful.

I hope you both enjoy his birthday--as no one's birthday is as important to celebrate with than the person who gave birth to you--otherwise known as "Mom"!

Hi bodhi! We've had some good chats today, haven't we?!

I imagine that your birthday would be special my friend--whatever day it is, simply because it's yours!!

But, due to the sheer fact that there are so many people in the world, and only 365 days in the calender, then I'm also going to assume that there are probably many people who share your day. Sorry to disappoint you! :-D

But, since you don't know them and they probably don't know you--you will get the attention you deserve!

Yes, my birthday is not that far away--they come much faster at my age. LOL But, lucky for me--I don't have to make my own cake! My grandchildren love to bake cakes for me. Last year they made me a pink cake with very dark blue icing. It turned everyone's tongues and lips blue who ate it. This turned out to be a great way to tell who was sneaking pieces of my cake later in the week!

Hmmmm Pink and dark blue, Wow, Yummy! Do let us know whats would be on menu this time around.

Hi binggaling!

Ah, so I know when your birthday is!

But, come to think of it--I don't know anyone else with that birthday either! Perhaps that just proves how unique you and Michael Jackson are.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion!

Oh, I think I know exactly what you mean!

well, there are days i feel more unusual than unique.

Hi bounce!! I'm happy to see you here--you've been missed!

I must have missed the discussion about you and your son having the same birthday. That's a pretty unique person to share your birthday with. But, I can empathize with the fact that you are placed in the background now. I'm not sure why people do that, even as adults, we still like to have our birthdays acknowledged.

The only consoling thing I can say is this--as boys become young men, many of them have a tendency to "forget" their family members birthdays. Your son will never have that excuse.

Thanks Holly.
One thing I'm happy about is that there is always cake on my birthday. Even though the name on the cake is not mine.
Sometimes I even sneak blowing the candles myself...

Atta Boy!!

Sheesh, Steph--I'm surprised that you were born on that date at all--looks like just about everyone else on your list used that day to die!

Love Sam Cooke, Diane Lane and Sir Francis Bacon contributed a lot to our world, but it caught my attention that you have the same birthday as Linda Blair!! Too bad we don't have a "spinning head" emoticon--so, I'll just use these: [em]fear[/e

I'll do my best to come up with some super-fantastic event or invention to add to your list.

Thanks for stopping by!! xo

Hi karen! Ah, so now I know why you and I get along so well--my daughter's birthday is the day after yours! She always complains that the only famous thing that happened on her birthday is that the United Nations was founded then. :-) She was supposed to have been born on Halloween however.

But, I can't say I know anyone with your birthdate either. October people are great though!

Speaking of daughters--how is yours doing?

Yes, October birthdays = wonderful people!!

All my 3 daughters are causing me stress at the moment for different reasons. The middle one has her court appearance next week.

Sorry to hear that karen! I have one of each and I do believe the saying that boys are harder to raise when they're little, and girls are harder to raise when they're older. I'll be thinking of you!

Yes, I think that's true. My son was a little monster until he was about 11. Now he's 18 and the easiest of my kids! We don't get any of the dramas with him that we get with the girls.
