Wow, fraternal twins of different ages! I think I remember hearing about that in a science documentary on the Theory of Relativity once, involving one twin travelling in a really fast spaceship. - Tigger, 2008-02-05: 02:48:00

Great word, BTW! - Tigger, 2008-02-05: 02:52:00

good one again OZZIE! - bananabender, 2008-02-05: 04:24:00

Very interesting word Ozziebob. It reminds me of some other word, but im not sure. Very soft sounding word without being too harsh. Cool! - Dougalistic, 2008-02-05: 04:52:00

Such a romantic way of putting it ... evoking the empathy we all have for each other as the years pass. Doug said it better in the last sentence of his comment ... it is so soft. - silveryaspen, 2008-02-05: 07:07:00

I second all of the above! (Especially silveryaspen's comment about how romantic it sounds.) You got my vote! - Maxine, 2008-02-05: 07:26:00

Fantastic word. - ErWenn, 2008-02-05: 10:13:00
