My six year old daughter shares a birthday—December 6-- with her great-grandmother–whom she never met. My birthday is October 26…I have met a few people with the same birthday. * * * –Gail “Predictable, really I suppose.

Well, there is this funny story: I was working in an office where I sat right next to my boss (no, he’s a great guy). Anyway, his birthday is the same as mine (October 29). Sure enough, one day, one of the people who works in the office comes over and asks me my birthday. I tell him, and then ask him why he wanted to know. He told me that he heard that with an office our size (about 20-25 people at the time), there was a good possibility that two people had the same birthday. I told him "OK, you can stop. Both of us (meaning me and my boss) have the same birthday. Zev Steinhardt ---

In addition, my mother’s best friend, as well as a good friend of my wife’s also have Oct 29 as a birthday. In fact, it’s almost a game between us every year to see who can call the other first to wish a happy birthday. Zev Steinhardt ---

Eldest Son, as noted above, was born March 11, 1985. In third grade he met and became enamored of a little girl who, it turned out, was born March 11, 1985 – at the same hospital. They had been in the nursery together. Her mom and I have the same birthday, May 3, and her father and my Middle Son have the same birthday, October 3.

Okay, nobody in my family actually shares a birthday, but I will tell you that between September 22 and November 3 (which is about a six week period of time), there are eight birthdays in my **immediate** family alone. My stepfather starts off the party on Sept 22, followed by me on the 24th, my hubby on the 25th, my mother on October 5th, my second son on the 19th, my brother on the 25th, my dad on the 27th, and finally my stepmother on Nov. 3. Which goes to prove that in my family, we are very lovey-dovey in January and February. * * * Shadowfox “The dead have risen, and they’re voting Republican!” - Bart Simpson ---
