Identical twins marry, give birth to identical twins

nobody@vox.com([this is connie]) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:34:48 -0600

When identical twin sisters Diane and Darlene Nettemeier met identical twin brothers Craig and Mark Sanders a decade ago, they could never have guessed just how much of their lives would be based around perfect sets of two.

The sets of twins, from Texas, fell in love, went on a double date to Las Vegas, and won thousands of dollars at poker.

Sensing they were on a winning streak, they got engaged on the same day, married at a joint ceremony (officially "quarternary marriages"), and built a pair of homes, side by side.

Soon afterwards, despite a million-to-one odds, Diane and Craig went on to have identical twins of their own - Colby and Brady, now seven.

But the happy unions weren't all down to incredible odds - one decade after they started dating Craig, 44, and Diane, 37, are returning to the Twin Day festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, where they met in 1998.

This year they will be taking their own seven-year-old boys to celebrate their good fortune at being part of a double double-act.
Twin Days are annual gatherings in which genetically identical siblings gather, in matching outfits, to celebrate sameness.

Five weeks after meeting "the girls", the Sanders twins went to visit them in St Louis, where the sisters lived together, and had their first kisses in the Busch Stadium parking lot after watching the Astros play the Cardinals in baseball.

The following winter, the sisters went to visit the brothers in Houston, where they celebrated New Year's Eve at a restaurant called Sabine-- because it was owned by twins, naturally.

Vox Hunt: Key Note

nobody@vox.com([this is connie]) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:38:36 -0600

Show us your key chain. How many keys are on there?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

Earnest Devotee

I bought this key chain at a book store in Changi Airport Singapore for myself. Bought some for my parents and my friends too when I saw their names there. I love personalized gifts, I love my parents and my friends, and I always remember them when I travel around. I'm good like that.

By the way, you can count yourself how many keys are on there. Again, do not question my intelligence.

Sorry. I am so moody at the moment. This moving out thing is consuming my energy and patience.

QotD: What, no horses?

nobody@vox.com([this is connie]) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:27:25 -0600

I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?
Submitted by The BlueTie.

Rubber CowDuck

4x4 = 16.
5x2 = 10.
A normal cow has 4 feet.
A normal duck has 2 feet.
Just like me, as I was the ugly duckling.

4 cows and 5 ducks, assuming they are all normal.

Please do not question my intelligence. I wasn't good at math in school, but I know how to count. And I am too pissed off at the moment.

Yeah, no horses. My face looks like a horse right now as I am being too upset. You need not a horse. You need not a pissed off person like me.

Happy now?

Shopping Day

nobody@vox.com(DoriDori) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:34:48 -0600

My mom is visiting from Arkansas, so Des & I had to pick her up from Tulsa this afternoon. I haven't seen her for 3 months, I miss her! We met in a mall, so I ended up did some shopping. I haven't been buying new accessories for about 2-3 months?

I finally got to buy some colorful tights! I've been wanting to buy them for quite a while! I saw this loose t-shirt at Forever 21, and I thought it looked pretty cool with the silver floral design. A white belt, now this sort of complete my belt collection - I actually only have one chocolate belt, but I thought I need to have at least one dark and one light color each. And, last but not least, 2 bracelets.

Swags

Silver floral

Love the silver!

Pearl

Look at my pearl bracelet! My mom likes it. She said it looks elegant and will go well with night dress too.

'Bird Nest'

This is what Des called it. Bird nest. I think it looks fine to me!

Now I'm a happy and content person.
