"I randomly met a boy on the beach while visiting my grandmother. I was 10 he was 14. I'm American, He's English.
Years later I'm on a message board trying to find out if Dead Like Me is coming back. Begin conversation with random guy on message board.
It's him.
We meet up and get married within months. 20 years and 3 kids later...."
#16 I don't see the coincidence here. Guy buys a house and meets a girl... was it 6 houses down from the one he bought? Did he still buy it?
