Me neither. But dig this: my birthdate consists of all the odd digits (7-13-59).  
No wonder I am so _odd_.

No, **Gr8Kat** , yours doesn’t have _all_ of them: 1,3,5,7,& 9. Sorry.

But, hey, that is cool that we have the same birthday. No, I wasn’t born on a Friday, _but_ I turned 25 on Friday the 13th, FULL MOON…the best party I ever threw and one of the best I’ve ever attended!

Oh, I misread your original post. I thought you said your birthday had all odd numbers, period. Damn speed reading ☹

Are you supposed to add the numbers of your birthday together? I think that is how one of my friends did it. 7-29-71. In that case I am an eight.

Close, Athena, but no cigar! My grandfather’s birthday is 1/1/11. All staight lines, easy to remember. Well, except for the year I called him to sing Happy Birthday on 11/11. ::sigh:: I guess memory was an expensive option during my model year.

jane-says, I have a cousin with your exact birthdate!

The New Year is a hectic time around my family. Mother’s birthday is the 30th, cousin on 31st, me on the first, a nephew on the 4th, and someone else who I don’t remember on the 5th. Apparantly those loooong muddy spring months makes my relatives head for the sack.

Padeye, you’re only 12 days older than me.

TennHippie & Gr8Kat, my mother was born on 7/13 too.

By coincidence, my phone number is 625-1961.

Well, not really, but that would have been cool.

Harrison Ford was also born on 7/13…  
but, more importantly, so was Cheech Marin.
