My sister hung up on me, so I deleted it.
I haven’t been in a good mood lately, and my group meeting at Megacorp never cheers me up. Usually I feel better afterwards because a particular co-worker and I go to lunch and kvetch about work. He was on vacation today, so I walked to Burgerville by myself.
On the way I remembered my sister wanted our dad’s old mini-fridge and his TV for her warehouse. I tried calling but got no answer so I called my mom. She had no idea and told me my sister hadn’t called in days. Finally I called my sister’s cell phone.
My sister told me she was moving her fabric to her warehouse on Sunday and that I had to help. I reminded her that she was always haranguing me about helping people move because I always seem to hurt my back. She said she was exempt from the rule.
I also asked why she hadn’t called our mom. A while ago my sister told me that I should move to California if I wanted because she could help with our mom. But she can’t even be bothered to call. She reminded me that she was at the beach but I know she was back early because she was sending me email. When I pointed this out, she said, “But I had no cell phone coverage!” This made no sense since she was already back. Then she said, “And I had to go to a birthday party last night!” I started to say, “But I didn’t know about any birthday party,” but she just hung up on me.
I don’t think I would have been as mad if she said, “Gotta go, <CLICK>!” but she just hung up on me. I’m still pretty pissed about it and I’m no longer speaking to her. If she is busy with enough friends that she’s too busy to call her own mom, she can get them to help her move. In fact, all her email to me is going in the trash and I deleted her web site off my server. Unfortunately for a bunch of knit bloggers and about a bazillion comment spammers, it included her blog. Anyway, it’s gone now. And so is she. Good riddance.
wow. regardless of what happened to marikos site, hope that the both of you patch things up! dont know whats really going on. maybe she shouldnt have pushed you to move her fabric and maybe…. of course its all your own business. but hope you two work it out. family matters more than any sites, blogs.
Too funny…I’d like a delete human button to get my pesky money borrowing brother out of my hair… sibling can’t live with em’, can’t live without em’.
That is truly the funniest shit I’ve ever heard!! Will you still speak to me evn though you know me through your sister??? You really have been in “delete/purge” mode lately 🙂
I hope you two can patch it up. No, ‘patch’ isn’t the right word.
I hope you two can come to a mutual understanding. I’ve got two brothers who drive really me crazy sometimes–but only SOMEtimes. Very occasionally sometimes. Hardly ever sometimes. But when it happens, it sends me over the wall. How can they be so inconsiderate, etc etc. The rest of the time I’m thrilled to have them in my life.
Really, it’s just not seeing life through the same lens.
I truely hope for you two to get back to a working relationship–for you Mom’s sake. If she knows about this it could break her heart.
sending positive thoughts….
ahaha, the dark side of blogger world revealed. I got here doing a search on super eggplant to see if anyone was talking about the site being down– I mean no disrespect at all and am not taking sides, you deal with the situation as you see fit. Just kind of funny, you know. Glad none of my siblings have blogs.
I see you have put her site back up. Good.
I have 2 (of 3) brothers and 2 sisters living. None of us are as close as you and your sister are. Stick together.
