If you were to take their DNA and compare it, someone without advanced knowledge of their relationship would conclude that they were siblings.
But that doesn't mean that they would necessarily look like siblings in person. As identical twins age, they actually get less identical as they are both exposed to different things in their environment. And the type of identical twins they are can make a difference as well.
You could technically have one set of parents with all blond kids and the other could have all brunett. The physical charicterisics would be as diverse as regular cousins.
Edited to add:
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are fraternal twins.

I've gotten this question several times in my life. Also "how do you know your parents didn't switched you up when you were little and you're actually your sister?" My fav WTF twin question is when people ask if we have "twin powers" or if one of us was hit by a car, would the other know.

I feel like it was a loose-loose situation with every candidate that ran.

The only times I've heard of doctors actually prescribing antibiotics for the flu or cold, is when a patient demands them and the doctor caves. Although that was years ago, and a competent doctor will never prescribe them unless actually needed.
For cold and flu, washing hands and covering a cough, and staying away from public places once you feel sick are best. People who go to work while sick make me hateful, but not as bad as companies who discourage or refuse sick time off.
Viruses can be super dangerous. Besides vaccines, there isn't really a treatment except to treat the symptoms and ride it out. Even cases that require hospitalization, the treatment is to stabalize you,(O2, intubation, fluids for dyhydration, NSAID's for pain and fever) until your body can fight off the infection.

So technically, since I'm quite short, I could ride one like a horse?

That's an interesting assumption. Do you have any studies or published information to support this, or is this just an opinion of yours.

It's clear nail polish. Also, like some have pointed out, there are stir sticks and coasters that can be used to detect a drug as well.

Letting her kids run wild and threatens to sue. Sounds like a wonderful person.

I hope so, otherwise, that is one lightning bolt that really had it in for her.

Don't worry, some people can't take a joke. The stereotypical American archetype will never not be funny.
