Crossed Paths?

[someplace]

I have discovered my life has previously intersected with several other Litsters at one time or another. Has anyone else found this to be true?

Without revealing names here are mine:

#1 - His son was in the same class, same school with my daughter for several years -- the kids were in band together also. I met this Litster after he moved his family about 50 miles away.

#2 - graduated from a rival high school of mine in the same school district. We both excelled in the same extracurricular activity and had attended the same district/regional meets and clinics.

#3 - His son swam in the same league as my daughter. We attended the same meets.

#4 - Active politically at the same time I was and in the same circles. (This one actually looked the most familiar to me when I met him) I know we've been at many many of the same functions and meetings.

#5 - Attended the law school I worked at. While not at the same time, we knew many of the same people.

pretty wild stuff there Someplace!

LTR and I ate at the same eatery in the mall...unfortunately not at the same time

The funny thing is thinking that there IS probably someone here you know personally...it's a small freekin world

 

[someplace]

I think it just shows that MOST of the people on Lit are just regular folk, living everyday, ordinary lives. I moved around the country a bit for a while, which increased my odds of exposure I think. The above things happened in Texas, Virginia and Ohio.

Surely I am not the only person this kind of thing has happened to...

Surely I am not the only person this kind of thing has happened to...

oh, they'll come out of the woodwork...

..and stop calling me surely

 

[Starfish]

Nothin. Not a thing..... *phew*

 

[someplace]

Nothin. Not a thing..... *phew*

Are you sure? Have you had a chance to talk to every single one of us yet?????? Hummmmmmmmmmm?

 

[Starfish]

Thank you for instilling that much needed daily dose of paranoia, that I didn't need.

 

[marksgirl]

Well it has not happened to me yet, but one never knows whats just around the corner.

 

[someplace]

Look, if I can laugh about this, certainly you can. Remember, I'm the one who's Dad is lurking around here somewhere. I still have THAT shoe waiting to drop. (Thankfully I'm fairly sure we don't frequent the same areas of Lit...)

My son and daughter in law lurk here too

 

[someplace]

Yeah, but you guys all KNOW about each other being here. This one's still a secret. (sssssshhhhhhhh)

 

[marksgirl]

If it was my Dad I'd be kinda freaked out too!

 

[someplace]

I canNOT believe that others of you haven't discovered some previous connections. There are two people I've seen here who attended high school together. Come on, people!

 

[HoldenMcCrank]

Maybe we just need T shirts......

That say something like,

Are you a Member of LIT?


Morning Someplace!

Holden

 

[someplace]

Bumping because I was mentioning it to someone and thought I'd give some others another crack at it. Don't be shy!

 

[busybody..]

Not a LIT story, but similiar

About 15 years ago, my then wife and I went to a swing club.......LaTrapeze in NY......we were lying next to a couple.....My wife touching him.......his wife touching me.......

I was exchanging small talk with the guy......

Ocupation, sports, where you live etc.......

It turns out......that just the day before.......my wife and I were shown a house for sale by a real estate agent.......

The house was owned by THIS SAME COUPLE!!!!!!!!

ERRRRRIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE

 

[someplace]

But did you buy the house?

 

[tulip2lipservice]

someplace you are right....

I know I am forgetting a few but here is some of my twilight zone encounters...

#1 We were in the same graduating class in High School

#2 I drove her husband to my ex fiances wedding. Also my ex
fiance brother was his best man.

There also have been places I have gone to that I had found out others were there at the same time and what not. Now besides some of these flukes.... there are many lit people I have met here that have met and such. Six degrees.

The world is smaller than we know and not sure if we can ever realize how connected we all.

Peace,
Tulip

 

[busybody..]

Nope

But did you buy the house?

But if he woulda thrown in the wife........MAYBE

 

[Rambrat]

I met CutiePie one saturday and we had lunch together.

Other then that, I don't think I've ever crossed paths with anyone from Lit.

 

[Aphrodisiac]

Nope, no one has yet to cross my path.
Somehow I don't think anyone in my area comes into Lit.
I know people from the same state as mine , but that is about it.
If I were to come across from someone in my area, I would be like... "No way !"


Wait, I just remembered that I did chat with someone who was from my area originally but had moved away. But he was only here for a very small time and no longer returned.. he was a nice guy.

 

[nike]

not yet

I'm actually petrified that that will eventually happen. I have a hogher cance of running acros someone I've met here in Texas thna from Highschool. I grew up in the north. But still that would be too weird for me.

 

[someplace]

I need to add a #6 to my list. One of the litsters here has been a customer in the shop I used to have and there's a very good chance that I actually waited on her before. (Where's that Twilight Zone music?)

 

[Nora]

And a certain litizen's mother and my mother are friends.

Skeeeeeery!

(someone remind me to show her the "my mom visits lit" thread. lol

(thanks somey! )

 

[LukkyKnight]

(Where's that Twilight Zone music?)

You need an mp3, or can I just hum it to you on the phone?

Not that I've ever called you, or anything, not that peopel should go making assumptions, I mean, it's just that I don't actually HAVE it in mp3 format, see? I mean, hey, how would I even know your number?

Right?

Move along, people.
