Wobble, I love that story from the old kh. Bet it got a good laugh. I do feel a bond with quite a few on here. So many have expressed genuine friendship while others have sent their feelings as well. As usual I don't rub everyone the same way. Sometimes, being frank or outright makes people uncomfortable. I will try to be kinder.

I was born in 1956 and grew up in the 60s and early 70s. The term brother was used back then in the same sense as the depression-era song lyrics like "...brother can you spare a dime..." So, I used the terms bro and brother and sis quite a bit before I was assimilated by the BORG.
Funny thing is that I never felt like the terms, as they were used in the BORG, were as embracing and warm as they were outside of Dubdom.
So...yeah, I feel quite comfortable using the terms for people here on the board.
I use them only to kid around. Other than that, I don't use the term. I like the terms but found few lived up to their true meaning. I have a sister and call her Sissy sometimes.
