Groosch!
Mrs. G's watch'in a show about kids who are joined in the spine
(in my aged non-PC way...I'd think they're call siamse twins).

It's both sooo sad...and yet amazing. Such spirit, spunk and sparkle!

They've showd a number of 'em...some of whom could be seperated...others who couldn't.

It's sooo unusall....but despite the huge changelles...they've developed a dignity that you rarely see in the "able bodied":)

I've never meet anyone who's had this condition...have you?

I saw it also, GP, on Discovery. Very interesting indeed.

No, I don't know any conjoined twins. I watched one of those shows on the discover channel once. It was very fascinating. Did they show the adult conjoined twins? I can't remember their names, I'm thinking one had changed her name to either Wynona or Naomi (she wanted to be a country singer). She was VERY spunky.:)

No, never met any, but we had a set not far from us last year...........

One little girl died & the other is still alive & doing ok.

So sad to see it, but without the sacrifice of one, neither would be alive.:(

I didn't see it, Goof, but you really put it so beautifully.

Shannon, I remember theadult twins who are joined who are country singers. They are a hoot, so good natured.
