Just ask. I’m her evil YOUNGER sister and I’ve been lurking on the board since she told me about it. I feel that it is my duty as her YOUNGER sister to tell all the secrets of her life.
For instance, shortly after she got her drivers license I convinced her she had to pull over for tow trucks when they had their lights on. She continued to do so until our Dad told her the truth.
Ask away…
That’s funny because I distinctly remember GolfWidow pointedly telling us that while she once HAD a younger sister…well, I can’t remember it all now, something about a grisly death and never finding a body.
Maybe it’s just me…
Nooooooooooo. That was her ex-husband. He is now scattered across 7 states. For the right price I’ll tell which ones.
Well, I suggest we wait for GolfWidow to come in here to tell us you’re really her sister.
From your profile: “thorn in the side of my OLDER sister (GolfWidow)”. You’re not going to have a family feud here on the boards, right?
That would bring back some really bad memories.
A good publicity effort, but kindly do not tell us anything that the very nice Golf Widow herself would not want us to know.
…and, as I recall, the sister was much older and horribly disfigured.
No family feud here. Just some good natured ribbing for my older sib (and she really isn’t THAT much older). It’s been a good 15 years since we’ve lived under the same roof and I felt the need to poke at her like I did when we were kids. Like the time I sewed the legs of all of her underwear shut with the new sewing machine our grandmother got me for Christmas.
Ahhhhh…memories.
(Lovin’ ya Smaula!)
What in the blazes are fiber arts?
How U doin’?
Anyone could CLAIM to be golf widows sibbling, of course.
And while I’m not sure I’m convinced yet, here’s a little free advice; Don’t Poke The Bear.
Iampunha, fiber arts = anything having to do with threads, yarns, fabrics, etc. Paula was blessed with the artistic skills in our family (can paint and draw to beat the band) while I was blessed with…hmmmmm…can’t think of anything I was blessed with that she didn’t get too. I R fine, thank you.
Elbows, thanks for the advice! However, as she has pointed out in the past we are the poster children for dysfunctional families. Trust us on this one. Why would anyone claim to be a part of that unless it were painfully true?
Well, welcome then.
BTW, you sound just like me and my OLDER cousin. She’s 18 hours older than me.
To get sympathy, etc. Some people make their lives sound far worse than they are/were.
Let me put it in stronger terms. We are NOT going to have a family feud here on the boards. Period. If you want to tease your older sister, do it somewhere other than the Straight Dope Message Board. If your prime purpose here is learn, then welcome! If your prime purpose is to tease your older sis, then go away!

Thank you DRY for bringing this thread to my attention.
Yes, this is really my sister. Hi Cyn, how you are?
Lynn, if she promises to behave herself, sit back and keep her mouth shut, can we keep her? (j/k)
Although I’ve been here for a while, I don’t post on a regular basis (take a look at my pitiful post count), so many of you don’t know that I have a really strange sense of humor, which is why I enjoy MPSIMS and IMHO and the quick wit of so many of the posters here.
My sister is really cool and I urge everyone to welcome her with open arms.
A little background on us though (she wasn’t kidding when she said we come from a dysfunctional family). Cyn is only 20 months younger than me, so you can imagine the competitiveness there was between us. Example: My sister and I always got air sick when we were kids; being Navy brats and constantly on the move, we earned our wings in the “Mile High Puking Club,” if there is such a thing.
Sitting next to each other on one particular flight, both singing our praises into those nifty little white bags, my sister looks over in my bag, looks in her’s and proclaims, “I’ve got more in my bag than you’ve got in your bag.” Aaahh, nothing like a little friendly competition between sisters. Brings tears to your eyes, doesn’t it?
Again, welcome Cindy. Hope you enjoy the SDMB as much as I have. I’m always learning something new and the people are are GREAT.
BTW, how are the kids? Have a nice Christmas?
Awwwwwww, did you really have to tell the puke story again? It isn’t like we didn’t hear that one at every family get together for about a million years.
Things you really need to know about GolfWidow:
She gets really excited on Christmas morning and pukes (there, now I got to tell my puke story).
She really can fit her entire fist in her mouth (it did get stuck once, but that’s another story).
She was so thin all thru high school she had to shop in the girl’s department (think panties with butterflies and kittens on them).
She got me “excused” from the dinner table more than once by making me laugh and shoot milk out of my nose.
She is the best big sister I have!
Christmas was fine. Kids are still alive, so I guess I’m doing something right. Thinking of changing my screen name to either “Cyn” or “TwoOnes” - your thoughts?
OK, with that out of the way: welcome aboard, GW’s Evil YOUNGER Sister. We’ve had our fair share of family feuds lately, that’s why we were a little apprehensive. Since it all seems to be in good humour, I can only compliment you on your Evil Pranking Ways 
I only got sick that ONE Christmas; the Betty Crocker kitchenette and “feed me a bottle and I’ll pee” Doll were WAY too much excitement for me.
I don’t put my first in my mouth anymore although I put my foot in it from time to time.
You’ll be happy to know I’m up to 110 lbs. now (actually down from 129). Woo Hoo.
Yeah, and Dad would make you eat in the bathroom. Lucky you; you could flush your green beans down the toilet.
I’m the ONLY big sis you have. Sheesh!
As for changing your screen name, just remember your post count will begin again at “1” and you’ll have to start all over again 
Welcome aboard, oh Evil One!
I am so relieved my siblings don’t know about this place.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here.
On a related note, my sister knows about this place and usually avoids it. There are some things about me that she doesn’t want to know (think the sex threads).

C’mon, Lynn, pull the stick out and loosen up some. Those feuds were fun! And if we can’t tease people HERE, where CAN we?
Evil, welcome aboard. But minimize the puke stories, will ya?
