I have 4 brothers, no sisters..

In our case, we all get along well except for one brother who is a total jerk. He's a jerk to all of us, including my parents (for which I CANNOT forgive him), and then has the nerve to be shocked and "hurt" when nobody wants anything to do with him or his equally insensitive wife. It seems there is always someone messing things up - what a waste.
Sometimes I get sad and really wish I had a sister, but when I see how awful some sisters are to each other, I am thankful I don't. Besides, two of my brothers are absolute princes, especially my baby brother. He is kind, gentle, generous, and a million times the man my stupid jerk brother is.

Good point. Canucks are our brothers and sisters next door.

No, both my brothers saved up and bought what they could afford ($500) , I was not
so a car wasn't even in my horizon....but 2 of my friend had parents who had gotten them USED older cars so I got around okay (I had to find my own transportation everywhere). My dad did eventually get me a car though after I wreaked the one I was borrowing from him (brakes failed- 1960 Corvair)-- the car/wagon (1985 used) was $6000 (this is in 1987) and was my graduation gift from college. --- I used it for 2 years, put way to much money into it for repairs, and then sold it and bought with my own money a 1987 Blazer for $11K. I paid my own insurance once out of college, but my parents paid for it up until then though I did work 3 jobs while in school but that money was for books, etc, food, etc. Parents covered tuition, I did the rest. We will probably buy a used car for them to USE from time to time when the time comes as we are in the boonies and it would simplify things, but it certainly would not be THEIR car.
Never worked in my house RadGuy w/5 brothers
I still crack up at the time my dad came home from work to find my 2 eldest brothers room a shambles with clothes strewn all over the place. Being a senior and junior in high school their clothes WERE prize possesions..until that day when they got pitched out the window into the backyard full of mud from all the spring rain.
Now that one worked as they never ever let a pair of shorts even touch anything but their dirty clothes basket. Now, I'm using the same standard on my boys and just the uncles telling that story keeps them in line 
I have four sons, two brothers, five nephews, and 10 male cousins.
When is the last time you hung around at an elementary school? Yes, all the little boys in kindergarten and first grade race around after school trying to smack each other in the butt or the crotch. I don't know why they do it. I don't like it, and I don't tolerate it. I even tell the other kids in front of their parents to knock it off. Don't even tell me to watch my generalizations because I've seen it with my own eyes. It doesn't make them little perverts. It just means some parents need to teach their kids about boundaries and inappropriate touching. My kids never, ever did it until the other kids at school did it to them first. I do not like it one bit, and I told the parents of the other kids.
Maybe you should read the ones from your sisters, then, sm
when you have a minute or two. Some can be very funny or very informative. Your sisters may be reaching out to you this way.
If you have room in your mailbox, make a folder for them, and just stash them in there until you can get to them.
I simply delete the hyperreligious emails I get, but thank the sender anyway. She is only acting in good faith when thinking of me.
You must be talking about the Seven Sisters sm
My MIL has one, absolutely spectacular and wow, the fragrance. But it only lasts 3-4 weeks and then kaput. Her brother has given me 3 cuttings and I managed to kill them all. Now, I am trying the cuttings myself, hoping they will take in a different spot in the sun.
Yes, good parents have nannies for their little pets, kiss their brothers
like they are boyfriends, keep vials of their ex-boyfriend's blood, bounce from relationship to relationship, and break up marriages. Not that Brad is without blame there, but married is off limits. AJ's own father has voiced concerns over her mental status.
You know what? My sisters asked me the same thing. sm
I do have a beauty school right in my town. I never even thought about it because I thought I'd be shaved bald or something or have a student saying "Ooops" every few seconds.
My sisters urged me to give the place a try. Thanks to reading your message about the supervision, I might just rid myself of my "senior citizen" hairdo before I hit 45. 
Anything by Heart...I love those sisters!

Could you or your husband or his brother/sisters -sm
take over the care once a month or so, so they could get a break. You obviously think they need it (and I am sure they do), so see about getting them some help so maybe they can have a little bit of life once a week. I'm sure they would greatly appreciate it.
slow hand by pointer sisters, still the one by
Only because i think I sound really good.
Yes, our father's were both truckers and knew each other. I know Terri & her sisters
quite well. We also went to nearby schools. I've been to the zoo once and Australia is just gorgeous. If I ever lived anywhere else it would be Australia. Terri took us around to places that I would have never seen otherwise. She is a lady in the fullest sense of the word. Sadly, I never got the chance to meet Terri's hubby as he was away when we visited. It blows my mind that they were married 14 years. Time really flies and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago that they got married.
