[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 417267, member: 7464"] This happens rather consistently. My mother-in-law is a waitress (and a darn good one too!). She works the lunch and dinner shifts at a local Mexican joint called La Salita. My wife and I go to eat there about once every week or two. We also go when she has something she wants to tell her mother. Every now and then my wife gets a sudden, inexplicable urge to see her mother. So we pack up the baby and go to La Salita. Lo and behold, her mother's sick. Not at work today. We go home and she calls her mom to see how she's doing. Now, my mother-in-law practically NEVER misses work. She works every lunch and dinner shift (closed on weekends). She has missed shifts (not even whole days!) due to illness only 4 times in the last 2 years. It turns out - and we only noticed this just last week - that EVERY SINGLE TIME her mother's sick, my wife gets an overwhealming urge to go see her. We have found no instances where this was not the case. They are very close, those two. ------ The other wierd coincidence that I can vouch for was as follows: My father lives in Albuquerque and frequently takes business flights around the country. My sister-in-law (brother's wife) lives in Pasadena and almost never flies. She happened to fly to see her family last summer (01) Though their destinations were completely different, they found themselves sitting next to each other during one leg of their flight. It took them a few minutes to even believe it. ------- That sort of thing happens to me all the freaking time. It can get annoying, really. [/QUOTE]
