Do you know of anyone who actually died on their birthday?

kgwat70 @kgwat70 (13387) • United States 5 Jul 07

Has anyone ever heard of anyone who died the same day that they were born? I do not know of anyone who has or heard of anyone that has but I think that would be very freaky if it did happen. How would you feel if someone died on...

lifeoriley I don't know anyone that has died on their birthday. My father inlaw lost his battle with cancer and died on his girlfriends birthday. I am sure that she has a rough time dealing with the reminder each year. Kind of a bitter sweet situation.

Just a bit of fun here.. What would happen if we were to address people we met in real life, the same was as we addressed them in a letter. If we saw someone we knew walking dow the street we would approach them and say "Dear...

lifeoriley I think it would be really interesting if we addressed people by the names they use on the internet. Then if l saw you on the street l would say "Hello derek_a how are you today"? You would say " Oh just fine lifeoriley". We have tame names but some people...

lifeoriley A few weeks ago l had a 10 raiting and for some reason l dropped down to a 7. I have no idea why that happened. That kind of took the wind out of my sail so l seem to have lost interest in mylot. I haven't quit or anything, I just don't feel the same way as l...

lifeoriley I have visited a lot of NC beaches and all of them are nice. I haven't stayed at Atlantic Beach, we just drove through, and it is a lovely spot. Atlantic Beach is a lot more laid back then Myrtle Beach so you should have a relaxing time. If you like seafood...

Was I rude or just plain confused

inked4life @inked4life (4224) • United States 15 Jun 07

I'm at this cool bar/restaurant last night before heading to the concert and from having eaten there before I knew that they did a great fish and chips so I decided to have that again. The waitress that was serving us had the look...

lifeoriley I don't think you were rude, the waitress asked a silly question, so she got a silly answer. Chips mean different things in different parts of the country. In my area they would usually mean a bag of chips, but if fish and chips are on the menu, she should...

What assumptions do people make about you that are wrong?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 12 Jun 07

People are sometimes bad to make assumptions about another person without first getting to know that person. What assumptions do others make about you that are wrong?

Paris Hilton
