My birthday is June 1st. The only thing I can come up with that could be strange is since I was born in 1980 that means that the last digit of each year is the same as the last digit of my age. (example: age 23–\>year 2003) That’s not all that special but it makes it easy to keep up with how old I am. ---

My birthday is 10/7 and my son’s is 10/8. So I was in labor on my birthday. 😕 In an odd twist of luck, my sons dads sister had her boy the day after her birthday as well. Weird genetic trait, eh? ---

I was born March 8th 1983. So my birthday is a palandrome. 3/8/83 Hence my Username. ---

I was born on Valentine’s Day in 1985, which is sort of odd even if it’s one of the lesser holidays. ---

I had my first legal drink of alcohol (i.e., turned 21) the day Bill Clinton was elected President the first time. When my birthday, Nov. 3., falls on a Tuesday, it’s Election Day. ---

I was born on a Friday the 13th (3/13/59). Nobody of significant importance was born on a March 13, nor has anything of significant importance happened on March 13. Yes, the fat kid who played Rerun on TV was born on the date, and stupid grade-D events like that, but nothing that would make anyone go Wow. I have often been tempted to start a thread claiming March 13 as the most uneventful date in history, daring anyone to prove me wrong. ---

I was born on Sunday, April 11, 1982, which just happened to be Easter Sunday. My 11th birthday fell on Easter again. And my birthday next year will fall on Easter. ---

My sister’s birthday is 3/3, and this year ('03), she was 33. She’s also the third child. Also, both my father and another sister were also born on 3/3 (all of different years though). Another sister and I were born one day apart (7/25 and 7/26), but three years off. Joint birthday parties as a kid, what a joy. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MountainDewFixx \* > \*\*My b-day is December 25. People always say '‘o, a Christmas baby!". I feel like saying "Wow, I had no freekin’ idea!!!" \*\* My best friend is unthrilled when people repeatedly tell her the same thing. But, as I pointed out to her, people always know when your birthdate is. Me? I occasionally get things like this " You were born at Easter? Does that mean your birthday is a different date every year?" Isn’t that scary? The people asking don’t seem dumb otherwise, usually. ☹ I bet Thanksgiving/Mother’s/Father’s/Labor day babies get bizarre questions too. ---

This Birthday Queen™ thanks you for all these birthdays. 🙂 My own birthday is Sept. 17, 1976. I don’t think there’s anything really strange about that… but there was at least one year that my birthday fell on Yom Kippur. At the time, I thought it was kinda weird. (I was like 10 or 12 at the time) > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by dwc1970_ > **This is why I feel sorry for anyone whose birthday or anniversary falls on September 11.** Well, then you’d have to feel sorry for (among many others, I’m sure): [ul] [li]my friend Alia (born in 1996)[/li][li]my friend Amanda (born in 1988)[/li][li]my friend Billy (born in 1982)[/li][li]my friend Christine (born in 1968)[/li][li]my friend Sarah’s nephew David (born in 1982… and older than she is :eek: )[/li][li]my friend Lisa (born in 1976)[/li][li] **Lynn Bodoni** [/li][li] **Bubble Girl** [/li][li] **DeepPurple** (born in 1965)[/li][li]the surviving Taylor sextuplets, borm in 2000 (Hunter Curtis, Jordan Michael, Faith Elizabeth, Morgan Grace, Cassandra Hope) [plus their brother Griffin Jamison][/li][li]the Dennelly quadruplets, born in 1999 (Sean, Patrick, Connor, and Nora)[/li][li]the Dettmer quadruplets, born in 1997 (Caleb, Benjamin, Abigail, Hannah)[/li][li]the Salvo quadruplets, born in 1992 (Madeleine, Sydney, Jordan [g], Mikey)[/li][li]the Wilbert quadruplets, born in 2001 (the VERY day of 9/11) [Alex, Andrew, Eric, Katherine][/ul][/li] There ya go… a shortlist of people to feel sorry for. 😉 F\_X ---

My birthday is the seemingly-ordinary June 26th. One thing I like about it: it’s one of two farthest-possible days from Christmas. There are 182 days after Christmas until my birthday, and 181 after my birthday until Christmas. Thus, I am assured an even distribution of presents throughout the year. Of course, leap year screws it all up… ---

The Challenger Shuttle blew up on mine. I even designed a microwave resistor network that flies in the shuttles. I even met Reagan who probably ordered the shuttle crew to their deaths.
