Calling Leap Year babies

[johnsemlak]

Anyone else here born on February 29th? Any special plans for this year?

Leap Year Baby

Leap Year Baby here! 9 on Sunday.

No Really Special Plans. Chinese Meal on Saturday Night with friends...

I started my present job on Feb. 29th a while back. Hadn't had an anniversary yet.

Finally got a response.

Anybody else out there?

Anyway, it appears I will be gaming for my birthday this year. Right on

Leap-Year baby here, too.

When I got my US citizenship (moved here from England), the computer at the immigration office wouldn't accept 2/29 as a valid date. Yay for government funded software.

I've never actually met anyone else with a leap year b-day, so Happy B-Day! brothers!! No big plans here, I'm just hoping to spend some quality time with friends and family. And hopefully masses of giftwrapped delights!

In my year at Primary School (England, age 4 to 6) out of 32 kids there were four of us born on the 29th.... Born in 1968. 1967 must have been one good Summer of Love...

As for presents... Best Picture Oscar for Return of the King would be nice!

I've never actually met another Leap Year baby myself.

I haven't had any of the frustrations you mentioned, but they are quite imaginable. Mostly I experience the amazement and disbelief when people learn my birthday.

In 2000 I went to a restaurant that had a special for leap year babies. I think I was they only one that came. The staff were so excited all the waiters came over to my table and the manager came and wished me happy birthday.

I think it's incredibly cool. I'm jealous.

Not quite the same, but I propsed to my now-wife on Feb 29, 1996. Thus, we've been married for nearly seven years, but I proposed not quite three years ago.

I wasn't born on 2/29, but my step-sister was born on the 28th and her oldest son was born on the 29th. Three out of four years they share a birthday.
