For those of you who are like me and get confused calculating birthdays and age, I've found a nifty little age calculator.

I'm always second guessing myself on when a minor becomes an adult and how that figures into Statute Of Limitations.  In NC, a minor's statute of limitations does not begin until their 18th birthday, and then runs for the same number of years an adult would enjoy.  Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.

In NC, the general statute of limitations for personal injury is three years.

Here is the birthday calculator.
