I find it hard to buy that Kate and Kevin are brother and sister


I know we are just supposed to accept the fact that these two are brother and sister and are twins but they don't look anything alike. She seems at least five years older than he is and I just don't get it. Couldn't they find two people that looked at least a little bit similar to be brother and sister?

reply

My brother, sister & I are not triplets but were all born within 4 years of each other - and we look nothing alike.

My brother is fair-skinned with lightest brown hair & hazel eyes. I'm brown/brown and so is my sister, but she's taller, slimmer with much darker hair/eyes/skin tone. Our facial features are also totally different.

If people saw us together I don't think they would ever guess we were related. 😀😊

I disagree that she looks older than him. They do look about the same age.

And twins doesn't mean identical.


reply

Especially male/female twins. Fraternal twins have as much a chance of looking alike as any brother and sister.

Well, according to you the actress is also wearing a fat suit, so forgive me if I don't exactly take your opinion on anything seriously.


reply

HA!

Riiiiiight, and the actress's interviews and everything of course don't mean a thing...

Also, as I recall, you seem to be under the impression that 36 years is a "decade".

Don't even start with me, anything you say will be just dismissed here.

well, justin hartley is 39 and chrissy metz is 36 sooooo.....

Also, because he is male and she is female they are for sure fraternal twins and not identical. (google it if you dont understand why this is a fact)

Fraternal twins can look nothing alike. or be similar (hence the olsen twins who say they are fraternal, but if you at the rest of their siblings they ALL look a like so its not shocking that mary kate and ashley look similar as well)

Its more shocking that blonde headed justin hartley sprang out of dark haired mandy and milo.

Firstly - they are 3 yrs. apart (39 minus 36 = 3, not 4). You're welcome.

Secondly - he's the OLDER, which is the exact opposite of what you've been arguing. You really are as dumb as people say, aren't you, Nancy?

reply

well we already know that the concept of twins is confusing to Nancy..
She threw a fit on the Property Brother board and was convinced that the men are NOT twins, and can't possibly be since one brother uses his middle name, so because one goes by Drew Scott and the other goes by Jonathan SILVER Scott, they can't possibly be brothers, let alone twins!! People gave her plenty of evidence that Silver is his middle name, and their last name is Scott. She didn't believe it. Keep in mind the men are IDENTICAL twins..lol
Wasn't she arguing not long ago that all multiples are the same age, no matter what order they are born? Obviously they are the "same age" by date..but siblings love to claim the minutes!
She is pathetic..

I had an exchange with this person that went like so:

Cardinal: "Nobody would ever do that"
Me: "I would totally do that and so would many others"
Cardinal: "It is a fact that nobody would do that"
Me: "But... I would do that"
Cardinal: "As I was saying, NOBODY would do that, you brain dead idiot! Stop telling people what to do!!!"

The "brain dead idiot" is a direct quote and it was written in caps as well :)

I mean, I've seen walls have conversations that felt more mutual than this :))

reply

oh goodness! I was following that entire exchange. It is amazing how she believes she speaks for the 7B people on the planet. Just because she wouldn't do something, then of course NOBODY would do it! It's funny that she is always so confident in her assertions, even when she is so over the top wrong, and it is proven to her tenfold!

I meant Not Nancy, I have already been told to "just go die" by her once today.

ugh...not to mention her recent attacks on you with regards to your illness.
She has been vile to me in the past several times too, but I am thankfully now on the coveted ignore list! yey me!!

She is so toxic!

She has been on a roll lately. The last time she got this verbally abusive we all know what happened. I have to give her kudos, she has lasted 1 year and 2 months this time.

I still get a kick out her trying to educate me about stem cell transplants and chemo.

She is toxic, but she is like a car wreck, you just have to stop to look.

Take care my friend.

I hope this is deleted:

You have me confused with someone who GIVES A *beep* Go die. Please. You are nothing but a bitch and you were NEVER nice to me or anything. Liar.


But let me respond:

It is posts like this that have gotten you into trouble in the past and have resulted in your posts, if not your accounts deleted. You are here because I asked everyone to back off on reporting you during the last year. That is a fact. Just ask anyone here that knows both you and I on this board. I have been nice to you this last year; I know I wasn't before.

Yes I am going to die before you. I am in semi-remission, but one of these days I just won't post anymore and it will dawn on you that I am gone. That is what terminal illness means, my days are in someone else's hands.

You can't wish me dead. Someone upstairs still has plans for me.

By the way, I can be a bastard, or a son of a bitch, but never a bitch.

You are the most horrible person on these boards, Nancy!

Not sure where that religion which you supposedly practice stands on the afterlife, and the attempts you should be making towards attaining peace in it, but I firmly believe this : KARMA IS A BITCH (in caps).
You can pretend all you want that your behavior is justified, but in the end you'll regret it, I guarantee it.

reply

Thank you mee 😍

You're most welcome - glad to see you're back in fighting form.

Just when I think Nancy couldn't get any worse, she surprises me yet again. She has told just about all of us that we should be murdered or should kill ourselves but telling someone she knows is fighting a terminal illness that it's a shame they're still alive is a new low, even for her.
I can't wait for Karma to kick her fat ass. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later.

I'm pretty sure she's Mormon although I don't think Mormons would want to admit to having her as a member. She isn't exactly a shining example of how the members of their religion behave or show compassion for others.

Yes I am still alive. Like I said in reply above:

Trust me Cardinal, if God loves me as much as I think s/he does, s/he will let me come back and haunt you. I have friends in high places.

reply

That is utterly unforgivable and TTH, you have the patience of a saint!

She is vile, but this is a new low, even for her.

You take care.

reply

Did you just tell someone that it was a shame they were still alive... and that they should go and die (another comment above), in the context where they are trying to battle a terminal illness? Before this I thought you were just an obnoxious brat with a "center of the Universe" complex; but now at least I know there's no point in talking to you... You're a special kind of scummy human being, aren't you?

Enjoy your time in the ignore list, Cardinal, Nancy, or whatever your sock-puppet name may be. And for goodness' sake, I hope people report your butt off, because this is anything but ethical behavior.

Now we know why Nancy family doesn't visit her very much and Nancy will be alone for rest of her miserable life she

actually, no Fraternal twins can look very much alike. I already gave you an example. Mary Kate and Ashley olsen are Fraternal twins who look identical.

The fact that they are boy and girl means we know for a fact that they are fraternal as you cant have an identical twin that is not the same gender as you. Take a biology lesson and you'll understand why.....

What? They can't look alike you MORON as they are DIFFERENT SEXES! You get that....right?

*facepalm* Do you understand that fraternal twins can be boy and boy, girl and girl, or boy and girl? Fraternal twins started as two separate fertilized eggs while identical twins come from one fertilized egg that splits. Identical twins can be only boy-boy or girl-girl, but fraternal can be any combination. In fact, boy-girl fraternal twins are the most common of all twin types.

OF COURSE she knows that Ginger! Afterall...she "works" in a hospital and knows everything related to medicine! I am sure she has probably actually delivered babies and is a pro at it! Hell...probably even quads. Those poor ob/gyn docs never know what to do when it is her day off. I am sure they all have her on speed dial so they can consult with her whenever there is a health crisis. For all we know, she is a midwife just like her Duggar girlcrush!

In real life Kevin is 3 years older than Kate- 39 and 36.

In all actuality, Nancy, no one is asking you to "buy" anything. Watch the show, don't watch the show.
In case you haven't figured it out by now - no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE gives two figs what you think or don't think, or do or don't do. Must be a really depressing thought that that's how it is, huh?

I have 4 brothers & one big sister. None of us look alike.

~ Whoever said diamonds were a girls best friend never owned a dog ~

reply

They don't look alike, but in terms of their on-screen relationship I think they've done a good job selling the idea that they are brother and sister. They definitely give off that vibe.

reply

[deleted]

Kevin and Kate are non- dentical. They shared a womb and a birthday, but are very much fraternal; any other scientific twin-beliefs are a non-factor.

This is what minutely annoyed me when it was said, by Kate, that she feels everything Kevin does - or when it was suggested when we saw her react to his plane landing in NY.

If anyone is a believer in the romantic capabilities of twins somehow being connected through the erhersphere, they can ignore it 100%, here.

Having said that, sometimes siblings don't look related. I've seen that myself through my friends. On the other hand, I look very much like my 12-mos.-older brother (people used to think we were twins), and we both have similarities to our other brothers. So, that, I can suspend disbelief on.
