Leap year

[Wren]

2020 is a leap year, which means that it has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days that an ordinary year has. The extra day is added to the month of February - and February 29th is the traditional day that women propose to men.

Did you, or do you know any ladies took who advantage of this age old tradition ?

I don't know of any women, who waited for once in every 4 years to pop the question. Most waited less than 9 months.

Arrh yes, 29th February. You wouldn't believe it, but on many a leap year, I've stood in the middle of the pavement in town centers with a sign hanging round my neck saying, "Ladies, I'm free if you want me." For some unknown reason, when any lady approached me and saw the sign, they suddenly crossed over to the other side of the road, some almost getting run over by buses. I'll never understand women.....

Ferocious:
That was my intent today, after reading your post I'm having second thoughts. Like you, I have made me a 'cute' sign; now I'm sad,
don't like to be ignored, will stay in my cave.
What's wrong with women? I've been without a woman for a spell,
now I'm thinking, 'what's right about women.'

Only every four years! As usual, women get shortchanged.

I do really feel sorry for those whose birthday falls on 2/29, they have to wait four years for another birthday party.

@Ferocious and @jerry old - Easy! Just stand at a corner with a big sign that says, "Won the lottery, looking for a wife''. You'll have to fight off the crowd of women.

Had an aunt with the 29th bday but she was always acknowledged end of the month each year.

He's104!

I have a daughter that was a Turkey Baby, so every 5 years she has her birthday on Thanksgiving Day.

I have a daughter that was a Turkey Baby, so every 5 years she has her birthday of Thanksgiving Day.

My dad was born in 1912. He would have turned 107 in real years.

My longtime friend and my children`s babysitter lived behind us. Her grandma lived with her and her parents-always had,since she retired. Grandma 'Bobs" was a Leap Year baby. Today my friend Sara posted this on FB....
"Today would have been my Grandmother's 29th birthday (116). Pina Fletcher was a Leap Year baby, one of her proudest personal facts! Bobs was my greatest champion and probably the person with biggest influence on my life. She has been gone 24 years this past December but a day doesn't go by that I don't think of her!"

Bobs had a pretty cool career-she was a chef for Southern Pacific Railroad. She cooked meals for the passengers on cross country trips. I always thought that sounded like an interesting job.
