DUers Birthdays

[Stuckinthebush]

We have done these before, but I haven't seen one lately.

I bet that no two DUers who respond have the same birthday. If two DUers have the same birthday - that is month, day, and year - I'll dance around my office naked!

Mine is May 27, 1966

[Zuni]

1. mine is

July 23, 1978.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. June 23, 1976. Close (in a numerical sort of way) n/t

[Stuckinthebush]

5. Yes, but I'm not dancing naked for that!

Well...that is unless I get the urge! :D

[Zuni]

8. I have a good friend whose birthday is June 23 1976

Weird coincidence, eh?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. (spooky music) We have left DU. We have entered the Twilight Zone!

[Stuckinthebush]

6. Hmmmm....

The official rules clearly state that I must see them posted by each of the DUers!

I'll start unbuttoning my shirt, though.

[Stuckinthebush]

9. Wow! Wait a minute!

Talk about your Christmas babies!

So, how did you do it growing up? My daughter is a December 17th child (she'll be two on Monday). We are concerned about the Christmas thing overshadowing the Birthday thing.

Suggestions?

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Suggestion - don't let it overshadow

It's really that simple. Make sure that she gets whatever kind of birthday party and set of gifts that any summer-born siblings might get. That's what my parents did with me, and what my cousin did with her son who was born Dec. 24 (though his birthday party was generally held on the 23rd, or sometimes after Christmas, depending on availability of his friends, etc.). We always had a larger family gahtering on Christmas Eve, and when he was a child, he always had a birthday cake for Christmas Eve, no matter day his birthday ended up being celebrated with a party.

But it's really very easy - just have a party and gift selection luike you would for any other child. it can be tough since the holidays are already so busy, but it's doable and necessary.

[Stuckinthebush]

24. Thanks for the advice

I just don't want her birthday to be another holiday event, if you know what I mean. Birthdays are very special to children (they get less special as you age!). Her two sisters have birthdays on July 21st and July Th, so they get to have the summer swim type parties.

I appreciate the input.

[HEyHEY]

18. March 22 1979

I met a girl from mexico with the same birthday ...now we send eachother e-cards on that day.

[MissMillie]

19. 7/30/64

If my sister were on DU, you'd lose your bet. She and I are twins (identical)

[Stuckinthebush]

28. Wait...new rule!

Twins don't count! Twins don't count!

21. January 19th 1981

[RebelOne]

29. I'm January 18, but I'm not giving the year.

My father was born on January 19.

[Stuckinthebush]

30. You know what...

I was a freshman in HS when you were born!

That 1981 just jumped right out at me. I identify that as my Freshman year so readily because that was also the year Reagan was shot. I remember that the principal come on the speaker during English class, and said that he had been shot. I heard cheers throughout the hall. I look back on that and think it was strange considering how much everyone now thinks he was a God.

Sorry...your birth date made me go back a bit.

[prolesunited]

22. I share the same birth date

with a DUer but not the same year. Can you still dance around naked just for kicks? ;-)

[Stuckinthebush]

25. Well....just for you this one time

Cue the music...

"Staying alive, staying alive...ah, ah, ah, ah......"

[supernova]

23. July 16, 1962

I'm a classic. :D

[Stuckinthebush]

32. You know what they say

Like fine wine.....

[radfringe]

36. July 23, 1955

I'm even more of a classic than you.... :evilgrin:

[nini]

27. WannaJumpMyScooter and I share a birthday...

May 22... Same year?! uh.. .yeah... why of course!! - if it means a free strip show! :evilgrin:

[Stuckinthebush]

31. Nini...

You haven't seen me yet, have you? You might think twice - I should still be in the DU photo album if that thing is still floating around somewhere.

[Meshuga]

33. May 14th 1973 - Does it...

have to be the same year? What about twins? Do they count? :-)

[Stuckinthebush]

34. Yes and No

They must be the same year and twins don't count.

See the twin rule here:

Oh...and if two DUers have the same month, day, year, AND time of birth, then I'll come to your house and do the hokey pokey naked.
