Leaping Lizards!! Its leapyear

You do have the sense of humour and always look on the bright side of thing.I mean that you thought of the leapyear and having one more day to make earning when you had a pain from diverticulitis.Perhaps this is just the recipe for your great age.

Sorry you have been in pain with diverticulitis, that can be very painful. I hope you feel better soon. I wasn't born on February 29th, sorry to say. My birthdate is in the summer months.

Yes, it is a leap year. Maybe I should go rent that movie with Amy Adams, called Leap Year. I'm very big on renting movies during "theme" months. In October it's scary films, in February it's romantic movies...How did I get off topic here? I've always wondered if leap year babies prefer to celebrate their birthdays on the 28th or 1st of March when it is not a leap year.

i never even thought about it til you mentioned it. i find it funny for people that have birthdays on that leap year day. i guess they only celebrate when that day comes along lol!

Yes it is a Leap Year. I have often wondered when the people born on February 29th celebrated their birthday's the rest of time? If they celebrate it on the 28th of February or the 1st of March? Anyone know?

hi hatley, i have a friend that was born on the 29th of feb. she celebrates her birthday on the 28th just instead.. and then when she is able to celebrate her birthday on her actual birthday, ie the 29th, they have an extra special celebration to make up for the years she didn't get to do it haha :)

I'm not, but I did work with a gal who was - I thought it was really cool!

I think I have only met one person that was born on February the 29th. Not too many of them around. It would be interesting. Only 6 years old when the rest of your friends are 24. Interesting huh?

One of my bosses was a leap year baby. She quit & moved away so I haven't seen her in a while. She only celebrated her birthday on the 29th...yet she ALWAYS got drunk on the 28th. She was really 49 when she quit; but she said she was 12-1/4. She acted like she was 12 & a quarter so I'm not so sure that the way she counted her birthdays were that far off!!!

Oh my goodness! We are already two months into this year and I did not know it was a leap year. I suppose that makes it an election year, too? I find it amazing how much life I let pass me by without notice. If it wasn't for my friends here on mylot like you I wouldn't know anything. I guess I really do need to slow my life down so I can see what is going on around me.

So sad to hear that u are in pain, i wish your quick recovery. Well, i dont know anyone till now who born on 29th February but i think s/he will be happy having such a birth date. Have a nice time.

Hatley aunty: thanks for reminding us 2012 is a leap year. Yes. we can earn for one more day and get paid. In India we had a Prime Minister by name - Mr. Morarji Desai. He was born on 29th February 2896. He lived upto 10th April 1995. see the wikipedia linkL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morarji_Desai

Hi Hatley, Sad to know about your stress and discomfort. But hope you are feeling better now... and hope the stress here is over and done already. Hmmm when we're young we often laugh and think about people who was born on Feb 29. Maybe there were lots of them and it's a bit sad that they can't celebrate their birthday on the exact date. My mom and grandma is a February birthday celebrant but I don't know anyone who celebrates their birthday on 29th.

I was born on Leap Year day, which often generates discussion when I present my ID for something. My mom and I often argued over when to celebrate. She always tried to make me wait until March 1, telling me it wasn't my birthday "yet." I'd argue back that March wasn't even the right month. In off years, I celebrate all week long and remind people that the U.S. holds its presidential elections and the world celebrates the Olympics to honor us.

My step-daughter Ashleigh was born on Feb 29, 1976. She's living in the States right now, so her Dad and I are going to send her a birthday present, :) She is the only person I've ever met who was actually born on a leapyear day.

Hi Hatley, my late mother in law's birthday was February 29th. She was a leap year baby. Hubby would send her a birthday card every year although it didn't happen every year, March 1st would be her birthday for most of those years or we'd say, she's not aged much because her birthday would show only once ever 3? years. I wonder how leap year came to be....? It's funny how the world has figured out to add a day in so many years to make it balance out.

Hi Hatley. I'm not spending nearly as much time here as I used to, mainly because of two reasons: the arrival of my first grandbaby and my business that is just beginning to grow. So, the extra day this month won't make much difference, if any. I don't know anyone born on February 29th but used to wonder the same as you, do they celebrate their birthday on Feb. 28th or March 1st when it's not a leap year. If I were born on the 29th, I'd want to celebrate it on Feb. 28th. At least that way it would still be the same month. I'm going to be 60 years old in two months but, if I were born on Feb. 29th, I could say I'm going to be 15 but then everyone would say that I look AWFUL for my age. I'd much rather forget about that every-fourth-year birthday thing. When I say I'm almost 60 now, most people say I look great for my age and I like it that way. I hope your tummy is all better real soon.

Hi Hatley, maybe he thought you might propose to him, lol! and you were thinking of mylot insted, how funny! hugs. Tamara

It is quite coincidental, I once had two classmates who are born on 29 February, both of them are in the same class. It is so rare to see. Yes leap year is definitely a good year, I think it is just so special! Take care, I hope you are feeling better now.

Sorry to hear you suffer from this nasty complaint. I hope the extra day earns you some lovely cash, I'm afraid the extra day won't make a lot of difference to me as I'm too slow.
