Riette, I thought you and Sonja were twins? (or are you fraternal?) I love that picture of her with Zurich in the background--she has the hair color I could never get out of a bottle no matter how hard I try.

Yes, Autumn, we're not the same - which makes it easier, I feel. It's so much easier to love another person than it is to love oneself... Most of the time I just think of her as my sister, who happens to be the same age. Mum never treated us the same either, and so we never had the rivalry-thing or stuff like that, which helped alot. We never felt the need to seperate physically or emotionally to be able to become our own person, and just became best friends in the world over the years. She really is
the best sister imaginable.

Oh, and Sonja is also the BEST face maker in the world. I was also trying to make funny faces on the photos, but just ended up laughing my ar$e off at her. The one on the left is her 'Afrikaner' look, and the other is her 'Tina Turner' look, you see. I haven't a clue how she does that nostril thing - she actually has a very pretty, and fine little nose, but somehow she manages to stretch it until it goes like that!! This is the sort of thing we STILL do at night when everyone else is asleep, giggling
n our pillows etc. etc. No-one ever gets me to laugh as much as she does, no-one TALKS as much as she does, but in front of other people she's always a little shy and mistrusting, which makes our private sisterhood even more hilarious. People expect me to be the one going on like that, not knowing what lurks under her solemn facade - and she, little pervert, enjoys every minute of it!

Oh, a sister's a sister, I think. I don't find my two any different from how we were - they have the same fights, and the same sort of friendship. I can't imagine it would be any different for Sonja and me with an age difference either, since we're both utterly close to our brother (who is 6 years younger) as well. Do you have other siblings too? Does your sister live in the same town? Do you see each other often?
How about you, Wolf?

i've got a brother who's 4 years younger. i don't know him at all. we were close
growing up and i would stick up for him. we fought too. but now that's he's older, i really don't know who he is. i left home when he was going into high school,
then he joined the army and got out. all i know now is that he went to school for a degree and that's it. i think he's still living with my parents. i really
don't know.
the rest of the story will have to be told in inner sometime.....

I have an older brother (4 years older) and younger brother (6 years younger). My "little" (he's 6'4") brother & I were SO close growing up. He still lives with my folks down the street, my older brother lives around the corner, and my sister lives 2 miles down the highway. We're all "close" whether we want to be or not!

If you have a normal family, it must be great with everyone living so close. All those get togethers and barbecues and things. That sounds great. I'd give anything to be so close to my mum, sister and brother. But the rest can stay right where they are - don't want them anywhere near me!!

Now let's see. Eating and sleeping would just about cover it, I think.
No no. I don't really have main interests, I don't think. The only thing in the line of hobby that I have, is an interesting CAT scan collection. I work pretty long hours, which doesn't leave much time for that sort of thing. I do enjoy going to the movies on a weekend though. Boring, I know.

I'm a CAT scan operator and medical transcriptor. When I go back to Namibia I always help out at my old job at the private hospital there, Medi City. The personnel there is like my family, and the sort of 'Chef Arzt' knows just the sort of cases that interest me. And so when I go back, he's always got a pile of extra scans lying there, waiting for me to sort through. Not sure if it's legal to make extra scans of people heads for collecting workers, but he does, and I don't know who the people are. I
don't have medical degrees, but I think it important to at least have an idea of what one is dealing with when you scan people's heads.

I'm a little mixed up. Once when I was in the hospital I had what I thought was a CAT scan, but it was of my spleen, not my head. I just lay on a table, going back and forth under a little "bridge" and holding my breath. Does that sound right? Or are they always of your head?

No no, it was a CAT scan. (CAT is just a shorter way of referring to computed axial tomography scanning!)
But I only collect brain scans - I've always found the human brain a very fascinating organ.

The MRI is more advanced than ultra sound and CAT, Wolf. I've not worked with it before, but it's a machine with a donut shaped structure in the middle, which contains the main magnet. The main magnet creates an energy field, and that's how the scanning process works.
The CAT scan has the sort of capsule-like structure where the patient is scanned.
