Dolores Nick (74), grandmother of three sets of twins, will describe her experiences. In her words, ‘the identical boy twins Skyler and Spender (18) dress the same everyday. The boys elected to share a college dorm room and want to marry twins. The identical girl twins prefer to dress differently. Sierra and Savana (12), best friends, have been through a lot of medical problems. Sierra is a three time cancer survivor, first diagnosed at three and again at five and six, now cancer free. For both sets of twins, it's never "I" it's always "We;" there is sharing, no personal space, and always someone to play with and talk to. Shane and Shyanne, 10-month fraternal twins, are different as night and day. They were "womb mates" and little else is the same. They don't interact much with each other, as of yet, but seem to look for each other if one is sleeping and the other is awake. Shane was supposed to be the "vanishing twin"......but never vanished. It's truly a remarkable miracle that he is here.’ -
Denise and Deanne live on opposite coasts, Denise in New York and Deanne in California. Has this geographic separation taken a toll on their twinship? One twin was extroverted and sought the companionship of her peers; the other was closer to the family and sought approval there. They were close in their younger years and supported each other in hard times. How did they find themselves so far apart in adulthood? What forces and factors shaped each twin? How are they alike and different? How do they communicate now in maturity? Do they still think of each other as identical twins and how do they express this bond? This twinship is a fascinating story of twins with primarily non-shared experiences. Their genes, aptitudes, intelligence, and interests are very similar, yet they have lived in two very different worlds both familiar to them from childhood. Hear them discuss the choices they have made as women and identical twins.

Dr. Mercy will discuss the experimental evidence for anomalous retroactive influences on cognition and affect, research recently published by Daryl Bem. Daryl J Bem is a social psychologist and emeritus professor at Cornell University. He received his PhD in 1964 from the University of Michigan and taught there before going on to join the faculty at Stanford, Carnegie-Mellon, Harvard, and Cornell. He had a distinguished career in psychology, then turned his attention to parapsychology; the self-perception theory of attitude formation and change has been named after him, and he was invited to co-author one of the core international psychology textbooks, known by generations of students as ‘Hilgard and Atkinson’.

Lee and Jesse will relate stories from their early lives illustrating their alikeness and differences, their comfort with other children, their position in the family, and the advantages and disadvantages of twinship.

How do your parents see you as different from each other? 4. How did you relate to each other in School? 5. What did you share? Friends? Belongings? 6. Did you have some secrets from each other and from the world? 7. How did your sister influence your career? 8. How did your twinship affect your view of health and wellness?

Cheryl and Meryl, female identical twins, are guesting on Twin Talk to provide all the details on the 2011 ITA conference taking place over Labor Day weekend in Branson, Missouri, the capital of western music. At the conference, twins dress alike and enjoy their twinship thoroughly as do the spouses and children who accompany them. Cheryl and Meryl also have a message for twins. ‘We have to tell other twins to love each other and appreciate each other. We never know, and you could lose your twin at any time. We would just say enjoy your twinship. Twins want to tell the world that we're different, but we're who we are and who we're meant to be.’ Cheryl and Meryl, identical twins, were born in Raleigh, NC on October 11. They have no other brothers or sisters. They live together. They both have bachelor's degrees - were roommates in college. They are both born-again Christians - Baptist by religion. They believe that they were born twins because it was God's special assignment for them. They are each other's gift from God. These twins are very active in the International Twins Association and value their twinship from the heart of their hearts.
