> Deneb, I second Kath's comment. tell your sister that opinions are like a**holes everyone's got one. but your sister has got diarrhea of the mouth. She needs a sock in hers. You need to get a remote control and every time she opens her mouth try to click her off and pretend the batteries need changing. And start laughing. Because humor will get to her everytime. She won't know what to do.
***********GOOD idea (I'm not sure that telling your sister that would go over well with your parents!! LOL but who knows??)
But the LAUGHING. THAT is so cool. Oh I could be such a bitch & come up with bitchy things but Dinah I think it was mentioned to let your sister mouth off & YOU be the calm, quiet, dignified one. It takes 2 to have a conversation going. Silence is probably the VERY BESTEST thing to deal out to her.******
> You know Colonel Sanders did not invent Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was 60 years old. You are never too old to do whatever you want.
*********THAT is a good thing to bring up if you're being bombaraded by your Mom (who is probably concerned about your best interests & possibly sorta old-fashioned & traditional).If you do break down & talk to your sister, I just thought of a good line.
"Just so that you know...I do not plan to hold your behaviour against you in the future."
And Deneb do NOT let ANYone NEAR your bankbook & bank account. You are an adult & guess what; you're behaving like one. Is this course the one where there were the labs & it caused you so much stress? I thought you were considering a long time ago dropping it & just doing the one? Or is this the second one. Are you just taking one course now?
Anyway, that's beside the point. If you want to go to work full-time (or even just work part time but NOT take any classes) that's your business.
You do have the option of deciding that if you stop school now & decide to do it again in the future, that you will pay for it yourself. And yes, you could do it just 1 course at a time.
hugs, Kath *****
