What Happened The Day YOU Were Born?

[PytnPlace]

Fun thread. Apparently not much of anything happened the day I was born. Oh and eggs are still about .85 to 1.10 a dozen. They don't seem to change much.

I felt the same disbelief VeraBlue - my kids were born in 1982 and 1988. Egads . . . I feel pretty young tho. I guess 40 something is young to many. I'm trying to enjoy what little youth I have left, LOL!!

Wow! You just will not believe this! My husband & I are always trying to figure out what we have in common (besides beauty of course).
The year he was born, one of my favorite movies was made. That song you can never get out of your mind that he hums all the time was released. The magazine cover was about fast furious race cars (my ever loving passion). The nobel prize guy was noted for his study about my medical condition. And the most unique thing of all is that stupid looking chair is the same one that my husband bought to sit next to his smoker! (and one of my favorite pictures of him)
The year that I was born, his favorite movie was made. He never talked about the song, but he mentions the group who put it out when he wants to be funny. The nobel prize guy was working on a cure for his mother's diease. And the most unique thing of all is that bookcase wall unit is identical to the one he made in our bedroom!
This was all a bit much....

Now that was fun. What puzzled me was that my husband, for whom I am now planning a 60th birthday party, had a song called, "Managua, Nicaragua." I thought I was pretty familiar with old songs, but now I need to find this one. Maybe it is something I've heard but didn't know the name of?

Mother

My mom's birthday was September 11. However, I am grateful she wasn't around when 9/11 happened. Don't think she would feel too happy about it. On my birthday, nothing. Mom was the important one.

Haha. Sorry, I failed English a few too many times. I am not that old, maybe one of the youngest people here, 1982AD.

All these years I thought those firecrackers were for me because the 4th of July is my birthday!
