    I don't remember much about 11/11 other than it was a Sunday, but I do remember 10 days later on 11/21 my mother passed away

    I remember EXACTLY where I was. It was a Friday. A long time work acquaintance of over 20 years, asked me to attend a wedding with him because his then girlfriend, who lived out of town, was unable to attend as planned. I was a bit surprised at the invite, but he assured me it would be fun and I would know a lot of people. So I agreed. We had an absolute riot - laughed and talked the entire night. Within two weeks, he dumped his girlfriend, we started dating and never looked back. On 7/11/15, we were married. And we're not exactly kids either - LOLOLOL....

    I'm sorry.
    I cannot recollect what I was doing at that particular time stamp.

    Hopefully I wasn't making a fool out of myself though, haha.... :tongue:

    Vegas. Playing a drinking game with my friends - every time you saw a bride, you had to call out "Jade Monkey Bonus!" and everyone who DIDN'T cry out "Jade Monkey Bonus" had to drink.

    There were a lot of brides in Vegas on 11/11/11. We got really drunk. Also, POINTING to a bride while yelling "Jade Monkey Bonus!!!" is pretty much the height in confusing hilarity.

    I don’t get it

    I cannot even pretend that the game was logical or high-class.

    It might have been around the time I was 7 months pregnant and getting mugged on the way back from the beach with my (then) 4-year-old

    I had just turned 27 4 days prior and was living in Baton Rouge LA with my then boyfriend. It was an awful relationship, and I was on the verge of moving back home to Florida. I was depressed and unhappy and at my heaviest weight ever. By the end of that November, I was back in Florida and life was heading in a better direction.

    Well that’s not good!!

    Yeah. Just in case you were wondering - smacking someone repeatedly with an empty water bottle is not an effective deterrent!

    No idea. But I have two friends who had babies on that day. Best birth date of the century.
