People are 14% more likely to die on the day they were born than any other day of the year, a new study found.
And for individuals over 60, that number climbs to 18%.

Thanks everyone..
Matt B...you better get here soon because I may not be around tomorrow!! And I may need a DD..can you handle driving through creeks? Water is low right now since we are having a drought so we shouldn't get too wet!!

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/14/12 04:16 PM
I have a history of driving into water/snow, it would be nice to do it in a vehicle that is designed for it and would come out on the other side still running!

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/14/12 04:19 PM
ummm..any other offers to be DD...Matt_B I'm a little concerned about your driving record after that post!

She makes me look ideal!
In my defense, none of my snow/water encounters have been my fault. I only wreck cars on dry roads during the day time
I drove into a "puddle" caused by a water main leak a couple of years ago around midnight that was undetectable until the SPLASH! and my car began to float...not my fault.
I ditched it on the highway one winter when a semi in front of me jackknifed and the snow looked like a softer landing. So there. I'm hired again, right?

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/14/12 04:40 PM

If this is true (the dying on your birthday thing) then how come I have never noticed when I read the obits? I have noticed that older couples will die withing days of each other but not that people die on their birthdays.

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 12:50 PM
I'm here, I'm here!!!! We'll see how next year turns out.
Had a great Birthday with my kiddos. My 7 year old son opened the door for me everywhere we went saying "Let me help you mom, it's your birthday and you are getting old". I wasn't sure if I should hug him and thank him or knock him out. I went with option 1 and told him just because I'm old doesn't mean I can't take him out!
Thanks again for the Birthday wishes!!!

That's the problem. He's cute!!! Hard to get mad at him when he calls me old. Although he did say I was a cool mom because I bought a Jeep. So I guess I have to live with being a cool
old mom!

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 01:22 PM
Heck take the compliment. I don't know how old your son is but to a 10 year old anyone over the age of 30 is old. It does get better as they get older.
Posted By: Matt_B
Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 02:30 PM
Anyone over 30 is still old in my mind
Granted I'll be there in a few years (if I survive the birthdays...), but not quite yet!
Glad you lived another day CG, odds are in your favor for another 365 days!

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 03:28 PM
I'll be older and wiser then, hopefully. Maybe I'll revise my number from 30 to 35 at that point!

Heck, I remember being 7 and watching American Bandstand thinking the dancers were old. What were they--16? 17?
::sigh:: 7...that's when I fell in love with my first grade teacher Mrs. Hartley. She was in her 30s, had the Carol Brady shag haircut, and smoked Salems......::sigh::

Huh? No, her first name was Mrs.
Shoot...I really don't know her first name. How am I going to find her and rekindle "the forbidden crush?" She'd be pushing 80 about now...probably has a deep, gravelly voice like Bea Arthur from the years of smoking....

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 06:19 PM
How would one know that Loralie is not in on it, she may even be the "wife" in the pictures. From what I read Jen has her doubts too (and is willing to share the room anyway).
Posted By: Matt_B
Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 06:21 PM
...I'm not sure what to say to that.
Ed, I can't access from work, and more than likely they wouldn't make it through. Besides, she did say they were "just for me" when I got them...so maybe I shouldn't.
Boaty, please friend me or make sure the pictures are viewable via friends of friends

I don't have any friends in your desired age range to swap pictures for...but I could probably find some friend's mom with an open page I could scam some from to give to you!

What? Your friends don't have any photos of their grandmas? And just to clarify--I like them old and rich. Kind of like the Duchess of Alba....
Ever notice how the Duchess kind of looks like a poodle.....
Posted By: Matt_B
Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/15/12 07:31 PM
Um...I guess I've never looked, had no reason to!
And no, I've never noticed that, probably because I've never seen her that I'm aware of. I guess you have a pretty specific type!

Her secret? I assumed it would be a result of you kicking her out so you could bring someone else back with you!
I'd take the couch, since I'm a gentleman.

I meant her gender would be kept secret. Goofball.
I will NOT be kicking her out of the room.

Re: Happy Birthday??? - 06/18/12 04:20 PM
Does that mean any other
single day? Or simply 14% more likely than on the average unbirthday?
What is the likelihood of death on, say, New Year's Day, compared to any other average non-New Year's Day? Or on Independence Day, compared to all the days between July 5 and July 3?
