Mine’s Nov.20 73. I went to school with a girl who was about 8 hrs older than me. years later, in vegas, i worked with a guy who was exactly 2 yrs younger than me. He never got carded at the casinos. Then, on my mom’s side of the family, many of us share the 20th. Not the same month, just day. * * * “What the dilly yo?” -Busta Rhymes ---

My mom’s birthday is January 13, or, sans punctuation, 113. My dad’s is November 13-- also 113. His mother’s was October 31-- 1031. His dad died on my mom’s birthday, another collection of ones and threes. My mom’s dad was March 10, or 310-- close enough. “113” has become a popular choice in our family when picking lottery numbers. Of course then I came along in 1971 and screwed it all up by being born on August 17th. * * * Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa… ---

In reading the posts, I see that a LOT of you share birthdays with people I know. Anyway, as long as we’re sharing stories… I’m 3/11/75, my husband is 2/11/74, we got married on 9/11/99 (he says if evrything is on the 11th, it’ll help him remember). So, when we start having kids, we’ll see what kind of timing we can plan out… BTW, My mom’s birthday is two days before mine. My dad spent years getting the two confused: DAD: Happy birthday, hon. ME: No, Dad, it’s mom today. DAD: Shit…I have to get those gifts wrapped! ---

April 5, 1975… any takers? Coincidence: I was born April 5, 1975 at 7:32 a.m. My best friend was born June 5, 1975 at 7:32 a.m. We didn’t meet until we were 11 years old and didn’t find out we were born exactly 2 months apart until we were 15. Thought that was pretty cool. * * * That John Denver’s full of shit man! ---

## I was born on February 22, 1969. One of my sisters was born April 14, 1967. Now that alone isn’t interesting. Except, she was born on my aunt’s birthday and I was born on my uncle’s birthday. “I love being married.

March 19 here. My youngest son shares **Sassy’s** birthday, November 4. Unrelated number thingie: My second son weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and I craved Slurpees all through the pregnancy. You all know about 7-11 stores and their Slurpees? We though it was kinda fitting. ---

DOB- 8/18/81 weight: 8lbs, 8oz days late: 8 time: 7:11 (7+11=18) I was in the Toledo Blade(One of America’s Worst Newspapers) on my 18th birthday, giving out this wonderful information to everyone in the NW Ohio.

September 21, though my family celebrated on September 20 until I was 8. Then when someone looked at my birth certificate and found out they’d had it wrong all that time, my parents tried to tell me that it had _always_ been on the 21st. (I think they were just embarrassed, but still.) Catrandom ---

I was close friends with a girl for many years who was born 25 minutes after me at the same hospital. She has an older brother with the same birthday, too. I’ve known a few people either with my same birthday or within a day or two. But are there any Dopers?

born: Jan. 18, 1971. My older brother’s b’day is Jan. 17, but 8 years earlier. My Mom’s b’day is the 15th of April. Nothing interesting except that my Mom’s b’day is about 9 months before my brother’s and mine. I kid her about having a big night out on her b’day and getting pregnant. (except the theory doesn’t hold water - gestation is actually about 40 weeks, not 36) I went to school from 4th grade until high school with a guy who shared my birthday; same hospital as well. * * * I am large, I contradict myself, I contain multitudes. ~Walt Whitman ---

I know there’s at least a couple other Dopers with my birthday (July 29). Ayesha is one, but I forget the other. I’ve met a couple people with my same day, but I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with my same day and year (1978). Any other 21-year-old July 29thers out there? * * * ~Harborina “Don’t Do It.” ---
