Ha! Then you will have to add the swagger of entitlement to your routine. Is he a younger brother or older brother? Either way you can use the angle to your advantage, if he's older then he needs to take care of you, his defenseless younger sister, if he's younger then he needs to show proper respect.

Tulip Starbuck...

Now, that's a porn name. Space porn!

thank GAWD i was not taking a sip of beer when i read that!

(no beer was harmed in the posting of this here post)

He's older and he has every right to yell at me and I can't yell back because that would be disrespectful. :headshake It sucks being Asian sometimes. Besides, I am not a defenseless younger sister, I'm a 40 yr. old woman who's going over to his place and smooching off his coffee. :lol:

:eek: You have been taking jabs at my replies. :whofart: I need to take the whip out and ...wait, I think Gravdigr may just enjoy that. :rolleyes: ...... :p:

Smooching=kissing
Mooching=borrowing without intent to repay

Even if you are a woman of a certain age, you'll always be his kid sister.

Ft3's just trying to stir the pot :rolleyes:

lol at both of you!

True, I will always be my big brother's 'little' sister, just as my younger brother will always be my "little brother." I will always be "Sis" in my family. I love that! :)

Hahah....thanks for the clarification, Foot. I actually looked up the phrase "smooching off someone" because it didn't sound totally right to me. There were several results ppl defining it as "mooching off other ppl." :p:

Yeah, but sometimes a person gets no respect as a "younger sister." :neutral: But my older brother does let me mooch off his coffee, food, rechargeable batteries, flashlights, and....geez, I should stop the list. :p:

You crack me up Tulip. :)

I hate it when I go to prime some knots and the can of BIN was left with the lid loose and now it is a solid chunk of white shellac.
and I have to wait till mrs. foot comes back with the car.
and I have to get changed into painting clothes
and I have to find a chip brush
and I have to figure out what paint I have for the top coat
and I have to probably go down to the basement which means going outside in the snow

Maybe I'll just see what's happening on the cellar

'Prime some knots'? Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

Apparently paint is drying in buckets down there.
