This challenge was inspired by and is dedicated to @jaboUK. As part of a lively discussion and all fun intended, did you ever see the title of a post and say "Hey...they stole my title". Of course this is said in jest since you haven't even posted yet but you were thinking of a title and there it is...on someone else's post. What is the best title you have seen or like but someone beat you to the punch. I have had this happen a lot, but for now I have to just sit and think about the ones that have struck me.

I've already chatted with jabo about this. I haven't had a title 'stolen' but the idea for a post. This has happened more than once. I read a post and think, "Dxxx, I wanted to write nearly exactly the same in my next post."

Ha...that is great. I never heard that before but it is definitely a keeper. I know that I and some of my foolish friends will get a big kick out of using that. Thank you.

By now I know you know I used your "Fools never differ" in a post after your response. "Stealing" a title is kind of fun....

I replied to Jabo saying that I remember that someone stole my title, but I cannot remember what it was.

Thanks for the mention - I appreciate it. This only happened to me the once, but I'm sure it does happen a lot.

@josie Ha ha...that is the best answer I have heard. I think when we write about life in general certain titles do pop in to our heads that may be a common theme. Thank you.
