I used to work with a young woman who had the same name as my youngest daughter.

This young womans older sister had the same name as my oldest daughter. What are the chances of 2 pairs of sisters having the same names and same birth order. That was spooky.

how many more names can anyone think of?:thinking::thinking:





then there were the tribes or clans that broke down their names to identify what clan or tribe they were from and also wore colors. But we can do these after we have most of the above names first.

There is also the fact that many immigrants altered the spelling of their name when they arrived at their destination.

Wow ally, i think you got me started on something new here.:):)


great amber how about we all think of a name and proffesion that went with it...............mabe have to get the funk and wagnels out lol.how about black.....would that be a blacksmith... To in one there;)

This is a coincidences thread but what I am about to tell you all I don't think I can describe as a coincidence. Actually I'm not sure what to call it. It doesn't have to do with numbers and it didn't happen to me, well not directly anyway. This is going to take me a little bit of typing to relate because it takes in 3 generations of one family. I'm not sure how to tell this without confusing everyone but I'll give it a go.

It was back in 1988 when my half-sister phoned me and told me that she had just heard from a cousin that she hadn't talked to in many years. This cousin had come into the city here with her daughter because the doctor that could do the plastic surgery that the daughter needed lived here. My h/sister wanted to know if she could bring the cousin and her daughter to my apartment since her husband was working nights and was sleeping. I had heard of the cousin but had never met her so looked forward to the opportunity and said ok.

Later as everyone sat around my kitchen my cousin explained the scars that were to be removed from her young teenage daughter. Apparently my cousin and her husband were looking around to buy a house and had taken their young daughter (who was only a child at the time) and their young son with them to see a particular house. After viewing the main floor and upstairs they decided to check out the basement. Seeing as the children were very young, something like 6 or 7 the parents of course took the children into the basement with them. Apparently the lighting was very dim so the father lit a match. There was some kind of gas leak, I don't remember now what it was, but there was an explosion. The son got some burns and so did the father, the young girl got it worse of all. The mother (my cousin) hardly got any. So ok, they were here to see a plastic surgeon for the girl I was fine with that.

Well as things go when people haven't seen each other for many, many years my h/sister and cousin got to talking about when they all lived on the farms. I was busy making coffee and cutting cake etc and couldn't really join the conversation because I hadn't even been born yet in the time period they were talking about. But then they started talking about a situation that had taken place. Now here is where it got real strange for me and to this day I am sorry I opened my big mouth and blurted out what I did.

It happened that when my cousin was about 6 or 7 that she, her brother and mother and father had moved from the farm and wanted to live in a nearby town. They were staying in my great aunts barn. ( I guess she would be my great aunt, she was my cousins mothers sister). Well one day my cousins mother and father wanted to go and see a house in town and were going to take my 2 young cousins also. My cousins mothers aunt put up quite the argument and insisted that the parents go alone and she would baby sit. She felt that the parents shouldn't have to look after the children while also looking at the house. So the parents just a little upset with this new arrangement went off and left the children with the aunt. While looking at the house the mother and father went into the basement, and the father lit a match to see better. there was an explosion and both parents were very badly burned. The children however were safe at the great aunts.

As I stood at the counter cutting the cake my mind seemed to freeze as I listened to them talk. Without thinking I opened my stupid mouth and blurted out "so where you got away without being burned your daughter took your place", Well, everyone was shocked and I will never forget the look on my cousins face, nor that of her daughter as they looked at each other and fit the pieces into place. Even my h/sisters mouth froze half open.

In both cases there was a mother and a father and 2 young children, one boy and 1 girl. In both cases the parents were looking for a house. In both cases there was an explosion in the basement. But in the first case my great aunt had insisted the children not accompany the parents, in the second case they did.

It appears to me that 'something' had to take place, but my great aunt had intervened and upset it. Because of this the situation had to take place again the same way so both children would be involved also. I still ask myself from time to time why that cycle had to take place to make sure the children got burned. Was I supposed to somehow be involved in that cycle in the blurting of it out. I have never talked to my cousin again as they went directly home after the surgery. My h/sister got a call from her the day they were leaving to go back home but my cousin didn't want to visit. My h/sister couldn't figure out why they didn't want to visit and were leaving very quickly, but it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to know how both mother and daughter felt. My cousin would have felt guilty that she had escaped and yet I suppose relieved at the same time. Her daughter who had suffered with scars, well I don't know what would have gone on in her mind. How the relationship went between them after that I don't know. Was there resentment, anger, relief? I don't know.

So now I ask you all your thoughts. If all this was somehow predestined to take place, was my role in it also predestined? Did I somehow affect their relationship by bringing this to their attention? If it was predestined, then who was it that was setting things into motion? If this is the case how many cycles take place that we don't pay attention to until someone brings it to our attention? I sure would like to hear some thoughts on this.

Was it predestiny, Amber, or was their something the family had been involved with in the past that made it necessary for them all to be burned? As you don't them that well, perhaps you'll never know.

Hi sweets, what are you doing up at this hour, aren't you 6 hours ahead of me? It's 1:45am here.

What you're saying is true OM, I don't know them, well except for the visit. But if it wasn't predestination then why the repeat cycle? And who put this in place? You stated that "made it necessary for them to be burned". Well who would have made the decision that they should be burned in the first place? And did I have some sort of role in all that? They hadn't connected the dots until at my place.

Hi, Amber. It was indeed 7:45am when you replied to my post (though it apparently took you 3 minutes to submit it:wah:). I was at that time having a shower and getting ready to go and collect my daughter.



Predestination suggests that everything in our lives is pre-determined. Even the choices we make would not be our own choices but predetermined choices if our lives were already mapped out by predestiny.



Instead of being entirely predestined, it may be that a previous action had this consequence.

It doesn't have to do with numbers and it didn't happen to me, well not directly anyway. This is going to take me a little bit of typing to relate because it takes in 3 generations of one family. I'm not sure how to tell this without confusing everyone but I'll give it a go.

It was back in 1988 when my half-sister phoned me and told me that she had just heard from a cousin that she hadn't talked to in many years. This cousin had come into the city here with her daughter because the doctor that could do the plastic surgery that the daughter needed lived here. My h/sister wanted to know if she could bring the cousin and her daughter to my apartment since her husband was working nights and was sleeping. I had heard of the cousin but had never met her so looked forward to the opportunity and said ok.

Later as everyone sat around my kitchen my cousin explained the scars that were to be removed from her young teenage daughter. Apparently my cousin and her husband were looking around to buy a house and had taken their young daughter (who was only a child at the time) and their young son with them to see a particular house. After viewing the main floor and upstairs they decided to check out the basement. Seeing as the children were very young, something like 6 or 7 the parents of course took the children into the basement with them. Apparently the lighting was very dim so the father lit a match. There was some kind of gas leak, I don't remember now what it was, but there was an explosion. The son got some burns and so did the father, the young girl got it worse of all. The mother (my cousin) hardly got any. So ok, they were here to see a plastic surgeon for the girl I was fine with that.

Well as things go when people haven't seen each other for many, many years my h/sister and cousin got to talking about when they all lived on the farms. I was busy making coffee and cutting cake etc and couldn't really join the conversation because I hadn't even been born yet in the time period they were talking about. But then they started talking about a situation that had taken place. Now here is where it got real strange for me and to this day I am sorry I opened my big mouth and blurted out what I did.

It happened that when my cousin was about 6 or 7 that she, her brother and mother and father had moved from the farm and wanted to live in a nearby town. They were staying in my great aunts barn. ( I guess she would be my great aunt, she was my cousins mothers sister). Well one day my cousins mother and father wanted to go and see a house in town and were going to take my 2 young cousins also. My cousins mothers aunt put up quite the argument and insisted that the parents go alone and she would baby sit. She felt that the parents shouldn't have to look after the children while also looking at the house. So the parents just a little upset with this new arrangement went off and left the children with the aunt. While looking at the house the mother and father went into the basement, and the father lit a match to see better. there was an explosion and both parents were very badly burned. The children however were safe at the great aunts.

As I stood at the counter cutting the cake my mind seemed to freeze as I listened to them talk. Without thinking I opened my stupid mouth and blurted out "so where you got away without being burned your daughter took your place", Well, everyone was shocked and I will never forget the look on my cousins face, nor that of her daughter as they looked at each other and fit the pieces into place. Even my h/sisters mouth froze half open.

In both cases there was a mother and a father and 2 young children, one boy and 1 girl. In both cases the parents were looking for a house. In both cases there was an explosion in the basement. But in the first case my great aunt had insisted the children not accompany the parents, in the second case they did.

It appears to me that 'something' had to take place, but my great aunt had intervened and upset it. Because of this the situation had to take place again the same way so both children would be involved also. I still ask myself from time to time why that cycle had to take place to make sure the children got burned. Was I supposed to somehow be involved in that cycle in the blurting of it out. I have never talked to my cousin again as they went directly home after the surgery. My h/sister got a call from her the day they were leaving to go back home but my cousin didn't want to visit. My h/sister couldn't figure out why they didn't want to visit and were leaving very quickly, but it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to know how both mother and daughter felt. My cousin would have felt guilty that she had escaped and yet I suppose relieved at the same time. Her daughter who had suffered with scars, well I don't know what would have gone on in her mind. How the relationship went between them after that I don't know. Was there resentment, anger, relief? I don't know.

So now I ask you all your thoughts. If all this was somehow predestined to take place, was my role in it also predestined? Did I somehow affect their relationship by bringing this to their attention? If it was predestined, then who was it that was setting things into motion? If this is the case how many cycles take place that we don't pay attention to until someone brings it to our attention? I sure would like to hear some thoughts on this.Questions like this and of the unknown will go on until the end of time and guess we will never know the true answers to any of lifes true mysterys.We can guess....we can hope but never truely know.

I remember a couple of years ago going to Market in the early hours of the morning and was just going out of my nearest town onto a Motorway when I came to some traffic lights.It was pitch black outside as it was 4.30am....suddenly there was a tap on my window...to say I was taken back would be an understatement and when I looked nobody was there.The person I was with said....who was that....so no it was not in my imagination.I jumped out the car even though I was at the traffic lights and there wasnt a soul about.I drove on a few yards and knew I had to stop the car for whatever reason.I asked the person I was with to check the car......they found the boot wide open.The point being if I had gone on that Motorway at a certain speed the stock I had on board would have come out and caused a bad accident......I have no idea who or what gave me that warning and will never know as like your story it will remain another mystery in this thing we call life.

I know exactly what you mean by the knock on your window Carolly because I also have had some strange incidences in my life and yes know of others like my cousin and her daughter.

But I have to wonder what kind of 'place' it is we live in where all these strange things can happen and we can never find an answer for them. I know in many cases we can cause things to happen ourselves, sometimes not even being aware that we are setting something into motion. But at other times it's like someone or something is really around, like when a person gets a tap on the shoulder but no one is there, or car keys lift off the table and go back down again. Unlike yourself though I believe that there are answers for everything, we just have to have an open enough mind to accept them when we find them.

My oldest daughter and I have weird numbered birthdays. Mine in 6-26-64, 9lbs 6oz at 12:56. notice all the 6's? My daughter is 1-8-84 at 1:08 and was 8lbs 5oz...notice the 8's? She was also born on the same day as hubby's youngest sister (and Elvis' of course) and my b-day is the same day as hubby's grandma. My oldest grandson was born on 11/7 and weighed 7/11 at 11/37...notice the 7's and 11's. Also what's cool is that both me and daughter shared the same sequence of school numbers that is weird....example, I was in 4th grade in '74, 5th grade in '75 6th grade in '76, etc.

Another thing I have noticed is that Odie and myself have so many things in common it can be scary.

Oh, and me and my cousin we're born the same day, exactly one year apart.

My daughter has this quite a bit, where she calls it a 'cycle' others call it de ja vue(?).

She even knows how many of these episodes end up. She even has them where I am concerned but I don't have a feeling of it happening before. Yet she is 8 out of 10 times right on with the ending.

I've had lots of strange stuff happen also but it's been fairly quiet lately. I find that whatever I appear to be focusing on or what my current belief system is, is what I attract. I believe that is true for all people. Yet, I can focus on bags and bags of money but so far that hasn't fallen into my lap from anywhere.

I think that there is something like 'destiny' for some of us carolly. I won't go so far as saying that each thing we do is predestined, but it's as if certain ones are selected for some certain thing, something that must be done to help this planet. It's like I wrote you in our emails, some people eventually figure out what it is they are supposed to be doing, others never do. Considering all the people that die each day on our planet, those who are selected and cared for to stay alive, (I have to count myself in on this because I also have had a miraculous sparing from sure death) have been set apart by who/what ever to perform some job that has been set out. I don't believe though that it is some omniscient omnipotent god/ess. Whoever or whatever has limited ability where he/she/they/it can only do so much. That is why things can get messed up and a person never gets to finish what they were set apart to do for one reason or another. Like consider for a moment Carolly, why was your life spared, and off course those in the vehicle with you when countless people die every day. Yes, we could say that there was someone with you that was the 'chosen' one, but since you have had other things happen in your life then I would say that it is you that has been set apart for some reason

What I have learned from my research and studies is that those who have been set apart, chosen if you will, have been selected for some job that enhances and helps the evolution and enlightenment on this planet. Yes, you were on stage and liked to sing, but this type of entertaining is not helping the planet to enlightenment and evolvement. I think Carolly that your work is still ahead of you. The problem is recognizing it.

I have had my life saved 4 times by mystery powers......including a fire.Maybe it was to save me for certain reasons and looking back on my life I know of 2 lives that have been saved by me being there and I dont wish that to sound in a big headed way at all but it happens to be the truth.I however disagree with you saying about my work is still ahead and feel my days on this earth are no longer needed and indeed I am approaching the end of it.No drama here but a feeling I have and death dosent bother me but the way it will happen does.Life is a stage and every play must come to an end one day and although my start in life was not of the best and many times I even wondered why I was put on this planet .....in later years I knew exactly why.I have many regrets and ones that I will indeed take with me........Life is a mystery that will never be solved.People debate....disagree about so many things and yet the truth is we will never know the answers to so much.

I sometimes feel like that about my brother,, he has had 3 bad car accidents, fell from a height on scaffoldng, been run over by a coal truck,, nearly bled to death internally through a perforated ulcer, and even chooped half his little finger off and nearly lost his thumb:yh_rotfl oh also was knocked out by someone hitting him on the side of the head with a metal bar and now has a dent in his head! i have probable forgotten some things as well:thinking: I always say to him you are either very unlucky,,,, or charmed:-3 but i often wonder if its because he still hasnt served his purpose yet:thinking:
