That reminds me of a guy I know whose first and second wives had the same first name. He said it made a lot easier for him not to have to remember a different name at the moment of truth. He also said he didn’t have to change the monograms on their bath towels. ISTR he’s on his third wife now, but I’m pretty sure she has a different first name.
We tried to get married on the same date as our dating anniversary, but the guy who was supposed to officiate said he had another wedding at that time. And he didn’t end up officiating after all. Thanks a lot, Brandon.
My son’s birthday is six days after mine. That’s about as close as we get. But it is sort of weird trying to remember another March birthday.
Oh, talk about coincidence - six years before I had my son, I was pregnant with a baby that miscarried. When I got pregnant a second time (both times I got pregnant within a couple weeks of deciding to try for a baby), my son had the same due date as the baby that miscarried.
We have an garage door keypad at our lake house. My daughter went to stay there a month ago, and didn’t know the passcode. I told her it’s the house number of her house where she lived five years ago. “OK”, she said, and hung up.
She then went through her old emails and text messages to look up where she lived back then. She didn’t want to admit she forgot her old house number.
My home wifi password is my phone number from the house I grew up in. When I share it I always use the joke, “if it’s ever 1985 and you need to call me.”
My wife and I got married on November 1[1], so it would be easy to remember. Neither of us know the year without looking it up.
we were just signing documents, no ceremony or anything ↩︎
My wife uses her ex boyfriend’s birthday for a number of her bank PINs.
No, she doesn’t have any feelings for him but is too lazy to think of new numbers.
Or so she says.
Don’t let that bother you @TokyoBayer Remember who she married. My Wife and passwords are kinda a mess. A lot of her pwd’s are based on one number or a derivative of it. So, that’s a start I suppose.
I’ve got a system for myself that I can remember.
My Wife’s are written down… somewhere… It’s a pretty secure system, we don’t even know what they are 
Were you born on May 15th?
No.
Sorry. Can’t ask you out.
Oh I’m not worried. I was just joking. I think it’s kind of funny.
Our daughter’s birthday is six days before my wife’s. I was born 3 days before my dad’s 30th birthday; how’s that for an early birthday present?
Good for you.
We bought a new house. There is a nice wet bar in the basement. It has a huge mirror, that… just doesn’t belong there. It’s a real WTF? But it’s not in any way intrusive.
So, I bought a bunch of white board markers. You can write on the mirror. It’s just sort of a big weirdo white board.
My wife says somethings that have to go up on the ‘Big Board’ (Seinfeld reference).
One of her latest was “I was thinking the other day, and then I thought, ‘Whatever’” It’s our new ‘catch phrase’
The other one is ‘Could be worse, could be raining’ whenever we make a really bad throw at the dart board (it sticks in the score board, yes it has happened).
That huge mirror in an odd place has a roll now. We love it. That’s serendipity.
My anniversary is just a few days after 9/11. So that’s always a helpful reminder-- “Oh yeah! Anniversary’s coming up!”
In Scotland, it’s called a Bothy
My nephew got married on his birthday. Which is today ! 
I’m not sure myself. But it makes damn good sense. We didn’t lock our house except at night (bears have figured out door handles, we would at least get warning)
We had a number of lost people needing help near our house. One girl was so afraid that she threw up. No, not drunk. Terrified. They where lost, car stuck (a Challenger maybe 4"s of snow on the road) . I just happened across them on my way home. They had called 911. They thought I was the Fire Department. Umm what?
This was a bright beautiful typical Colorado day. I didn’t even have a coat on.
I got them ‘unstuck’. Turned them around. “But how do we get out of here?” I pointed - “Go that way 1/4 of a mile. That’s the way you came, there’s a tee in the road. Turn left”
The whole ‘drama’ still makes me chuckle.
I think this fits… maybe not… maybe more coincidence than serendipity… oh well.
Sunday morning my wife was singing some song and I didn’t recognize the lyrics. She pulled it up on her phone and started playing it: “Those Were The Days” by Mary Hopkin. (I recognized it when she played it, it just didn’t click when she was singing it.) Then she started reading about it and discovered it was an old Russian folk song from the 1920s that had been rewritten with new lyrics in English.
I have been relistening to Andrew Hickey’s 500 Songs podcast and yesterday was listening to the episode on “Hey Jude” while I was working. At one point he was discussing the first songs released on the Beatles’ new Apple label. They had planned for four simultaneous singles to be released at the same time. One was an update of an old Russian folk song that McCartney had come across and was trying to find someone to record it. I was half paying attention when Hickey started playing a snippet of the old Russian folk song and I thought “Hey, wait a minute…”
Perfectly fits @Shoeless . I love things that make you go ummm… But, but, but didn’t I just see/hear that?
