So, I'm back (rather long-winded, but needed to ramble for a bit)

.........*Grabs a notebook from his pocket*

Name, address, place she hangs out the most, address of work if she has a job, and a list of her allergies, please.

You. Do. NOT. Treat. Your. Siblings. Like. THAT! Fuck, EQ and I fight enough to draw blood and bruise bones (haven't broke one yet) but even then we're talking to each other by the end of the night!

I know! Me, my brother and sister get at it sometimes too. Hell my brother almost suffocated me once, but we're still fine by bedtime. Hell we laugh at about it now, well me and my brother do. My sister's another story... Still none of it compares to the She-beast!

Hey Lupo....disown her ass.

My brother and I are the same way. But for some reason, it's always a clusterfuck when my sister's in the mix.

Ooh, when I told my cousin what had happened, she was PISSED. She said if she were there, she'd've slapped my sister around like a red-headed stepchild. (at which point I had to ask what she had against redheads, since my current hair color incarnation is red, until I get bored with it...)

I...er...kinda nailed my brother where it counts. Hard. Twice in a row, actually. Was going for the hat trick when he grabbed my leg, and yanked. I fell wrong and broke my wrist. I knew I should've run instead...but hey, that didn't really deter us.

In fact, I spent the next six weeks clonking him on the head with my cast whenever he started teasing me!

And yes, the she-beast is a legend in her own right...I suppose...

You. Do. NOT. Treat. Your. Siblings. Like. THAT!

Tell that to my dad's side of the family. Two sisters we're no longer on speaking terms with, one of whom will be getting my boot in her ass personally (on account of a shitty deal she pulled last year wherein she threatened to have my dad arrested) if she ever shows her face around me again. One sister is touch and go; we're only dealing with her because my dad and her husband/kids are on relatively good terms (for the time being; this is of course subject to change at any notice - it IS my dad's family, after all!).

Lupo - I startle very easily too. One of the quickest ways to make me homicidal is to sneak up on me - especially if it's as a prank. Not. Funny.

We really need a stabbity icon for people like your sister. Sometimes the and the just aren't brutal enough...

I feel for you losing your grandfather. I was sad to the core, and still am, when I lost mine.

Sounds like your sister and mine could be soulmates but mine is more of a manipulative cow. I cut off all ties to her. Haven't spoken with her in nearly two years and that's not likely to change ever. I'm better off without that poison in my life. But like Zazu said to Mufasa in the Lion King, "there's one in every family"

*hugs Lupo*

I'm fortunate in that no one in my family is anywhere near that crazy. (My ex's family, on the other hand . . .)

And I know how you feel about "Taps", only in my case it was Dad's favorite song, "Danny Boy". A friend of Mom's sang it at Dad's funeral, and it literally knocked me to my knees. Dad's been gone nine years now, and I still can't hear that song without tearing up.

In fact, I need to go find a kleenix now . . .

And you need to disown the She-Beast. What a piece of work!

[RayvenQ]

I remember my nans funeral, a sad time yet one which produced a lot of laughs too, partly because of my nan (that's who i like to blame lol)

See, we didn't have pallbearers, we had her on a trolley so the younger grandkids could push her and...well, she nearly got away from us downhill!

And then on the way out, (Is This The Way To) Amarillo was played and I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing.
