Coincidences? Meaningful coincidences? Telepathy?

I bought two ornaments for myself with names on them, I picked my sons name and looked for his then girlfriends name there wasn't one,I liked the ornaments so just thought I'd remove the names and still buy them, so choose one with a random girls name .You've guessed it, the name I choose was the girl he married.

On the subject of the lottery, I remeber in the very early days, all of my numbers were each 1 higher or lower than the number drawn; I remember thinking that was a sign that I would never win - and I haven't!

There have been lots in my life.
One of the earliest that I remember was when I was a child. My brother had been given a roulette game, and we were playing it with our parents one wet Sunday afternoon. At some point during the game, after we had all placed our 'bets', the wheel was spun and the ball whizzing round and round. Out of the blue, I yelled 'Oh no, it should have been 22!". Yes, when the ball finally stopped spinning you can guess what number it was on!
Unfortunately, it must have been pure chance, because I have never managed to win the lottery

Oh Situpstraight I am sorry for your loss and how strange that you thought of your brother at that time.
The only coincidence I recall was when I pictured a hedgehog in my mums garden pond. I rang her and mentioned it in passing. After we hung up she went to look and there was a big fat hedgehog doing breaststroke in her pond. She wouldn't touch it - convinced it would give her fleas - but made it a ramp to get out.

I was estranged from my brother, but one day around 10am, the thought of him popped into my head, I told my daughter who lives in deepest South West, not to be surprised if she saw him later that day, I don’t know why as I hadn’t thought of him for a long time.
But she rang me in the evening and said, so much for your telepathy, I didn’t see Uncle ****.
Later that same evening I received a call from Sussex police to say that my brothers body had been found at 10 am that morning.

........should have said that she wasn't expected home for another three months or so

Trying to remember if I have already told this story on here, but hey I often repeat myself these days
many, many years ago my sister was living and working in Dubai. One afternoon I had an overwhelming urge/thought that I should ring her, but not ring Dubai (never did that anyway) but to ring her house in this country. I dismissed this thought as best I could, but it was really bugging me.
Next day she rang me, guess where she was......at home!

I have had a huge coincidence here on gransnet.
I'm not sure what the odds were that it happened, but it did, and I would like to think it was meaningful in some way.
