Hello Lorraine, it is nice to have you back!
Could some of you US Divas let me know whether the dates 1811 - 1874 are dates from your history books? I think it has got to do with the war of independence but I am not sure. Maybe they are related to something quite different. Why would US pupils wear t-shirts with those dates on them? _________________ Alan Rickman('s) Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over. |

Hmmm... I thought this was interesting so I googled it... Most prevelantly I came up with birth and death dates for Charles Sumner, an American abolitionist and orator, and Chang and Eng Bunker, cojoined twins...

Thank you very much Steph,
this helped. I tried google myself but did not get anything that made sense.
Chang and Eng Bunker could be the answer. I am rading the book by Darin Strauss about them. Not that ther are photos of school kids in the book. Coincidences like that keep turning up in my life. I start doing something and all of a sudden references to that come up at the most unlikely places. Well, I recognize references that I would not have made out otherwise.
So thank you again. _________________ Alan Rickman('s) Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over. |

Sorry about the double posting, but I have a happy anouncement too concerning babies! No, I'm not pregnant, but a dear friend of mine, (we have known eachother since seventh grade), is!
She and her husband have been married for two years now, and they have been trying to have a baby for over a year and a half, so they were getting worried that something was wrong. But apparently it wasnt and now they are expecting a baby in january!
I am really happy for them, they are gonna be great parents! |

@journalista: thanks for sharing, he's so cute!
@Marie: sounds like the perfect timing. January is a great month to have a baby. A friend of mine had a baby last year, a boy, it was also a January baby. Capricorn people are usually very clever and very strong emotionally. _________________
