Will Ya Look At That......I'm Dead
Have you ever glance at the obits or death notices to find your name listed?

It happened to me once. The poor guy even had the same middle initial. Luckily, I saw it first before I checked the messages on the answering machine. But what's even funnier, is the looks I got when I walked into one of my favorite establishments.
I know a guy who's name and birthday are shared by someone else in northern Wisconsin. One day, the Bill that I know was pulled over for something, and then arrested for something that the other Bill did. Funny in retrospect, but not so funny at the time.
I was wondering if the guy I saw in the obits was the same guy that always got me called down to the office at Jerstad? As a lowly 7th grader, at least once a week I would hear the name over the PA and go down to the office with the fear of God in me. I will always think twice when my kids tell me "It wasn't me" because that was my only defense. When the powers to be figured out it really wasn't me, I would get as far as the office door and the secretary would say "Not you".

Too spooky.

My husband married someone else the same summer we got married. I was quite upset with him but we have learned to get past such things. =)
Happened to me with both my maiden and married names...
But it spooked me out this past summer when I was in Racine and saw our headstone with my name and date of birth on it, next to my husband's.
