Maybe Guin should hack into her sister’s files and remove all the apostrophes?
Hi there…the discussion has probably moved far beyond this by now…I haven’t read the rest of it because I am extremely sensitive and I just can’t read threads after I have posted on them in case someone has flamed me(so why am I posting in the bbq pit you ask? Good question)-and yes I know that sort of defeats the whole point of this mb-but there you go, that’s what I’m like.
But I would just like to say…when I was 16 I never ‘cock teased’ (what a charming expression) anyone and I wasn’t a little bitch.
Some 16 year old girls are nice you know. I was!!
When I was 16 I spent the whole time wondering why it was I felt exactly the same as when I was 12. That didn’t leave any time for cock teasing (ummm…do they have night classes in that or something?)
If I’m repeating something that has already been said 2’000 times feel free to laugh at the clueless newbie…or something.
Carry on everyone!
Phlip, what I object to is that, you have been here what-a month, if that? Most of the people responding me have been in contact with me for about a year-a little over that. And I also learned something about them.
WE don’t tolerate snap judgements here. Which is what you seem to be making. You decide that I have no other problems than my sister. Guess what? I have a lot going on in my life.
I have a “FUCKING JOB,” dickweed. Are you not paying attention? I said-I work at Kmart. I am trying to look for something better, but it’s not that easy. I am also one semester away from a bachelor’s degree in history. I am hoping that by next January, I can get a position in a museum. I cannot see living on my own on 7.75 an hour AND going to school AND interning at the Heinz Center. I refuse to give up school or my internship.
Excuse me? This is MY HOME too. Why should I let my sister drive me out? Wouldn’t that just give in to her? And like I said, she’s hot and cold. She was being nice yesterday-today she’s a bit cranky, but she’s at Kennywood today, so I don’t have to deal with her. It’s only when she gets in her moods or something that we go at it.
Right now, I suspect, a LOT of her attitude comes from puberty and hormones, as I was the same way at her age. That doesn’t excuse it, but it explains it.
BTW, she may annoy me, piss me off and hurt me, Phlip, so help me God, Phlip, if you were to stand before me in real life and imply my sister was a cock tease, you’d be taking your teeth home in a paper bag. She may be a fucking little bitch, but she’s MY sister. -note, I don’t mind you guys agreeing with me about how I’ve described (sp? for some reason, that doesn’t look right…) her, but it’s quite another thing for someone who doesn’t even KNOW her to imply she’s a tease just because she’s sixteen.
And you’re an engineer-fine. I hope you don’t mess up when writing directions or whatever the hell you do.
Infectious Lass-I hear ya hon. I really really do. Like I said, I suffer from OCD and ADHD, and it’s a real bitch. But I still don’t understand how living on one’s own makes you MORE of a person. Yes, you will change. No doubt about it. BUT…I’ve known people who lived at home for ages-my mother has a cousin in her forties who still lives with her mother, and has a career, friends, a life, and is doing pretty damn good! She just lives with her family because she’s comfortable that way, but she’s EXTREMELY independent. On the other hand, I’ve known people who did move out, and were the most self-centered, stupid, unsure of themselves assholes that I’ve ever met.
Phlip, could you be related to Acco? The whole, “You don’t like it, leave it or lump it.” or whatever. You refuse to read other than what you want to read. You can’t get it into your tiny putrid little skull that I:
-have a job
-go to school
-Hi Opal!
-have a life
-but can’t afford to move out
Yes, I’m 23, my only problem is my sister, my life is perfect, uh huh…yeah, sure, whatever.
Remember, when you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME.

Sorry, going back on my stated maturity but, at LEAST I don’t ask a board full of strangers to do my homework FOR me, Phlip.
You ARE the Weakest FUCKING link. Bite me!
If only we could get Anne Robinson to say that…
Guin - I didn’t have a younger sister who drove me out of my mind, I had a younger brother. I can understand your plight.
My suggestion:
Ignore her as much as possible when she is doing her best to piss you off, she is looking for a reaction and by giving her one you reinforce her crappy behaviour. If you feel that a reaction is needed make it a nice one, perhaps just grabbing her and giving her a big hug when she’s being a bitch will baffle the hell out of her.
When she’s nice be even nicer to her.
The message that you’ll be sending is that you love her, no matter what. Hugs are much better than coming to blows.
I have to run as I too have a job.
Are these two things mutually exclusive? Can’t I be pompous and smart?
Guin, what you need to do is practice restraint. Watch me:
Philip, I’m going to give you a piece of ahem sisterly advice. Before you press “submit reply”, read over what you just wrote. Read it carefully.
Look, not only for missing apostrophes, but immature, misogynistic and unnecessarily rude comments. Then delete them before you show us how much of an insensitive asshole you are. I think we’ll all get along much better that way.
(Okay Guin, maybe you shouldn’t be taking my example :))
You know what? That’s so simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. Seriously. And even if it doesn’t make her nicer, at least I’ll have the thrill of annoying the living shit out of her.
Since the day she was born the little shit has been great at pushing my buttons. NO ONE can do it better.
Phlip: I agree with everything you’ve said. So are we alone in this?
Guinastasia, you sound as if you’re 23 going on 12. I mean, just listen to how you describe your sister. You called her a
- stupid little teenage cunt
- selfish little whore
- stupid goat fucking little snatch
- nasty nasty little snatch
- Fuckhole
- fucking little bitch
Now does that sound like a mature 23 y.o. woman ready to go off on her own and make something of herself? No. It sounds like a whiny, selfish, dependent little baby. I would bet your “little sister” is actually more mature than you.
My estimate is that you were a very spoiled and undisciplined kid growing up, and your parents have continued this treatment to this day. They thought they were “helping” you by never insisting you take responsibility for your actions, but instead they created a brat.
Another factor is fear; you’re about to graduate, and you have no idea how you’ll survive in the real world. This I can relate to, as I went through the same thing.
So what you really need, Guinastasia, is a healthy dose of responsibility. If I were your father, I would kick you out of the house the day after you graduate. It would really be the best thing for you. You will quickly realize that your sister was a non-problem when compared to real problems, and your maturity level will grow. At least that’s what I hope would happen.
Lastly Guinastasia, do not blame your personal problems and deficiencies on OCD and the so-called ADHD. That’s a cop-out. Hell, I don’t even think the latter is a real disease.
Oh, bravo, Crafter_Man. How is it possible that you’ve been around here for over TWO YEARS and still managed to post such indefensible crap? In all the time you’ve been here, in all your close to 500 posts, did you not absorb the tiniest fragment of knowledge? “It’s taking longer than we thought” indeed. Good Christ.
Guin, chin up. Take Feynn’s advice, because it’s wickedly brilliant, and let us know how it goes.
-
Many professionals agree with me.
-
I am entitled to my opinion.

I wonder what Opal thinks.
I don’t know who said it first, but…
The only way someone can push your buttons, is if you give them buttons to push.
Oh no! My god, some random loser thinks I don’t have a “real disease”! IT must be fake!
Apparently, you’ve never heard of “venting”. You also have never paid too much attention to what I usually post.
Undisciplined? HA! If my parents heard THAT, they’d laugh themselves into hernias. Growing up, all my father had to do was LOOK at me when I was misbehaving. My mother has got to be the most strongwilled woman I know when it comes to children misbehaving. I have never ONCE, not EVER seen her give in to a child throwing a tantrum. That includes, incidentally, a five hour screaming fit by Yours Truly when I was 8. I was actually a very well-mannered, quiet child who mostly stayed in my room and played quietly with my dolls and my books. I swear to Cecil. In fact, my SISTER was the one who pulled the cat’s tail, drew on walls, and broke MY toys.
Crafter Man, I remember you. Let’s see, I have the following example of your “insight”:

particlewill-yes, I realize that. I’ve always been one who is easily annoyed by her. I KNOW I shouldn’t let her get to me, but I do, and I freely acknowledge that.
Hey, neat. You’re a dick. Now we know something we didn’t know 24 hours ago. MORE ignorance stamped out. RIGHT ON !
Listen fuckwicket, you are entitled to your OPINON. So am I, which I just gloried in sharing. You have definitive proof that ADHD is not a legitimate problem. Oh, by all means, cite cite cite.
Now, you DID say, " I don’t even think " which to my mind is an astonishing disclaimer, coming from the mind of someone who seems to believe he thinks better than the rest of us.
I take umbrage with everything else you’ve said too, by the by. This one just really took the goddamned cake. Besides, I have ADD and am a bit twitchy about the whole topic.
>>Snarl<< :mad:
Cartooniverse
All you people who seem to think that I entered this thread to shit on someone, you are wrong. It’s (<- note apostrophe 
) turned into one big cluster fuck all the way around.
Guin, when you are not shitting on me, you sound like a generally nice person. I happen to disagree with almost everyone on this thread about your personal abilities. I grew up with doctor diagnosed ADD. Personally, I dont think I had anything wrong with me. I was just a hyper little shit. As far as finding something better work wise, you say its not that easy when in fact, there are many jobs out there that pay more than what you are making at K-Mart ( I worked there for about 3 months by the way 
). Sure they are more difficult jobs, but they do pay more.
I also know from personal experience how hard it is going to school and working full time. I am an electrical engineer. When I was in school I was offered a summer internship at Intel. I had to turn it down because I couldnt live on the 10.75 they wanted to pay me. You have the luxury of taking on internships. Thats fantastic. I still managed to get a good job (as well as my own band with a shitty record deal ).
I see now that your original post was just venting as you said. You were not looking for life advice. You were looking for people to see it your way and tell you how bitchy your sister is. I stumbled on this thread by accident. Its the worst mistake I have made in my short Dope life. Oh well, you people will most likely never meet me anyway so I guess it doesnt matter if you all think I am a big time piece of shit.
Also, the “homework” you referred to was not homework at all. If you would read the thread you would see that. If you think it was homework, then I guess that is your opinion.
Phlip will no longer post on this thread 
Take Care.
(Except Number Six )
Guinastasia: Thanks for the links. Those were some great posts, if I may so humbly say.
I think the picture is becoming more clear now… when someone points out one of your obvious character deficiencies, you lash out instead of looking inward. (You also did this to Phlip.) It’s a form of “tattle-tailing,” and is further evidence of your pre-adolescence maturity level. It also abruptly “changes the subject,” a ploy my 3 y.o. uses all the time.
I now understand why your mother has asked you to “stop reacting so violently.” Again, picture is becoming very clear now.
Take a breather, toon.
Most child psychologist believe in the existence in ADD. (Of course, some of their income depends on it, but that’s another story.) But a significant minority do not. I happen to agree with the minority. And I guess I should be beaten for it, correct?
Side note: My wife is a registered nurse, and grew up in Hong Kong. She said ADD is virtually non-existent there. I found this odd; if it’s truly a disease, you’d think every country would be experiencing it. Of course, detractors and drug companies will claim it’s “undiagnosed” there, or that the Chinese haven’t hereditarily contracted the “disease.” Yea, whatever. I have swamp land for sale, too.
As John Rosemond said, many young children diagnosed with ADD really suffer from “BAD.”
This thread is a great example of why I avoid posting information about my personal life on the boards. There’s always those people who don’t let little things like complete ignorance of the facts get in the way of letting you know that you don’t live up to their standards. You vent about an obnoxious little sibling, and people decide to tell you what’s wrong with you.
I think that if Guinastasia wanted anyone’s judgement about what to do with her life, she would have asked. Whatever problems she may have in her life, I seriously doubt they could be helped at all by the unsolicited, uninformed, and occasionally mean-spirited advice of complete strangers. So just fuck off.
