I was arguing with a friend about how the Heimlich maneuver was called. I said it's Heimlich's; she said it was called something else. A few days later, I remembered the argument, googled the Heimlich maneuver, and sent it to her. It turns out that around that time, she was at the restaurant and actually choking, so someone performed a Heimlich maneuver on her. She was like, "why did you send this to me? I was choking just now." And then I told her about our argument. Weird, huh?

When I was younger, a friend and I went to go shopping. While we were there we came across a local animal shelter who had a little set up trying to get dogs adopted. I found a cute boxer pitbull mix. She was about 4 years old and had the most adorable ears that stood up halfway. We already had a dog and weren't planning to get another so we had to leave her. Fast forward to a week later and a family member comes over bringing the new dog they were fostering. To my surprise, it was the same dog. It took me a while to realize. They named her Sophie and adopted her a few weeks later. She was a great dog that got along great with our dog. They were best friends. Sadly she left when she was hit by a car a few years later. I still miss her. She was a great dog.

I travelled halfway around the world to work on a cruise ship. They bunked me with a fellow South African. Her grandfather, unfortunately, passed away during that time. I mentioned it to my mom in a phone call, also naming the town he was from. She said my grandparent's close friend, from the same town, also passed away that week. Turns out our grandparents were close friends their whole life and their granddaughters ended up in the same teeny tiny bedroom on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

My wife and I were in Alaska on vacation (we live in Michigan). On our first day there, we were supposed to go on a guided tour of Anchorage, but the tour company forget to pick us up. They said they would pick us up for a private tour that afternoon since it was their mistake. We had saw a cool looking lighting store on our way to the hotel from the airport, so we decided to check it out. We had just bought a house and we were planning on changing out some lights so it worked out.
While walking through the store, I look across to the other side and see my wife's cousin from California. Him and his wife were in town to visit her sister. They were ahead of schedule and decided to stop into this same lighting store since they own a wine bar that they were planning on remodeling soon. We didn't know they were going to be in Alaska, and they didn't know we were going to be in Alaska.

My husband and I went to a wedding and started talking to another couple at our table. Long story short: My husband graduated high school, fifty years ago, with this guys mother, and we both had worked with his wife's father thirty years ago. We had actually been at a Christmas party at her house, when she was six! Knew her dad well. I thought my head was going to explode.
