The number 17?

Ok im not sure if this means anything or if this is even the right place to post this. but....earlier today I suddenly thought of the number 17.
I said 17 out loud just as my friend in front of me was about to write it down.
A few minutes later his mobile beeped (txt message) and exactly 11:17am

Am im just losing it?

you see 9:11 everyday........but before 9/11 ever happened you all thought it was just some time on the clock....id say its a coincidence

Yes Oh and .... pause for effect.... SEVENTEEN!

Ever get that feeling when you are reading a word just as someone is speaking it? Coincidence, but always seems kinda cool. I have a knack for looking at digital clocks at exactly 11:11 daily either morning or night. Often wondered if that time would be significant for me somehow in the future.

maybe on november 11 you will become a bajillionaire

Seen this type of post a few times in my time on ATS. I have to believe there is something to it though as I have had literally THOUSANDS of similar and more experiences with the number 33. Why, just today I was copying a CD (hed pe) to the hard drive. It got to a song called, yes, "33", and the PC spat the disc out. Put the disc back in, it spat it straight back in. Third rtime in it did it. This is literally one of THOUSANDS of these experiences. Call it coincedence, I know otherwise

im open to all experiences......i think you might think this is off topic or whatever but everytime i think something is going to happen this way it happens the other way.....

Its funny someone would mention 17, I too have had this number date come to mind lately. November 17th to be exact. I made a query on RATS about a possible event happening around MT Shasta, Cailf. on this date or some type of Event on the 17th?

-95 Opens After 90-Vehicles Crash in Md.

WHITE MARSH, Md. (AP) - Traffic resumed flowing smoothly on Interstate 95 on Sunday, a day after more than 90 vehicles crashed in a string of collisions apparently triggered by a blinding storm.

The sudden, fast-moving storm dumped hail and rain along an 11-mile stretch of the highway, one of the busiest on the East Coast. No deaths were reported, but authorities said 50 people were injured, some seriously, in 17 separate accidents involving 92 vehicles in suburban Baltimore.

The wrecks started happening about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, apparently triggered by sunlight shining off hail.

A section of I-95 was closed in both directions, but authorities reopened all lanes late Saturday night. Traffic was moving smoothly by Sunday morning, Maryland State Police spokesman Maj. Greg Shipley said.

Cindy James, of Woodbridge Va., said the road wasn't slippery, but the glare was unusually strong, even while wearing sunglasses.

``Everybody stopped because of the glare,'' said James' 15-year-old daughter, Veronica.

Susan Whickers, of Baltimore, said she knew she was in trouble when drivers in all four lanes slammed on their brakes.

``I was thinking, 'Oh God,' because the car in front of us went right under a tractor-trailer,'' Whickers said.

Leslie Baker, an emergency medical technician with the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, said she knew of 49 people who had been injured, including 22 in one crash involving a bus with 30 people aboard.

Baker said that while she was helping at that accident, she saw other crashes happen, one involving a tractor-trailer running over another vehicle.

It was unclear how many people were transported to hospitals, but officials said only four people were hospitalized overnight.

State Police Superintendent Col. Thomas ``Tim'' Hutchins said Sunday that most injuries were minor, describing the most serious as a broken leg. ``That's a real miracle, given the number of vehicles involved in this accident,'' he said.

Maryland State Police Cpl. Rob Moroney said the pileup was worse than an 89-car pileup last year on Interstate 68 in western Maryland.

``It's just unbelievable,'' Moroney said. ``Amazingly, amazingly, so far, we have no fatalities.''

for me its just the number 7 my birthday is 11/18/88 which i think is wierd because 111-888=777 and there was a dream i had 7 times when i was little that was like pure fear and in all 7 i was sucked into a white mask and paralized and the #7 seems to allways pop up in a weird situation

Ok, lets start. Today my girlfriend started singin a song which I was singin in my head (not a song we listen to even in the previous week). For the past 2 weeks I have been seeing numbers like 11:11 13:13 :14:14 etc 1919 on licence plates
111 on tramlines 00:00 about ten minutes ago and so on. Its kinda starting to freak me out as it happens more often every day.

Have a nice day

I have had experiences like this before ever since 9/11 happened i would always see my self lookin at the clock when it was 9:11 am or pm also my friend one year scored 54 pts ina basketball game and for the past 4 years that number always seems to come up at such random times when we are together StRaNgE isnt it.

wasn't there a thread similar to this sometime in the last week? it was something about looking at the clock everyday at 11:11 or something similar

I'm pretty sure there was...

You aren't losing is, llama009, what you are having is an experience called, synchronicity, a term invented by Carl Jung. It's quite interesting, look into it.

I have had the same thing happen to me a lot since 9/11. Actaully on the morning of 9/11 I woke up. Turned on the Tv to VH1 as it was happening. I thohght it was a tv show at first. then I realized it was real. anyhoo glanced at my clock and it said 9:11, and quite often on my way to work my radio will stop on a station and there is nothing there but static. and that 91.1

Anyone that this happens to try a little experiment where you think of a certain different number a few times throughout the day and then watch how many times you catch it by surprise... Either it's on your mind, making you more susceptinle to seeing it or your psychic...

U LOST IT. naw, just joking, but ive had these things too, seem to be coincidence. But herez a weird story that may be off topic. I proved to myself there is no destiny and that nothing in this world is pre planned, and i go around telling ppl this sometimes. One night I discussed my reasoning (which i'll get into someother time) and went home. I decided to once and for all find out the meaning of my name. Found out it means "resolute" which means pre determinded destiny...odd aint it?

yeah that happens to me sometimes and its cool

well nov 17 has past
did anything happen that was of some interest?

I was singing that " She's only Seventeen" song from Winger the other day. Not sure why I haven't heard it in years and I hate hair bands.

i always thought 17 was some kind of code number for mind control originating with the tavistock think tank. also associated with poppy and wizard of oz. but i could be wrong.
