You got bigger problems if your sister is a 'he' ...not to make light of your sister's problem though.

HAH - whoops, typing mistake. She is DEFINITLY not a he

except that it isn't... what am i going to use to back it up?

A board... with a nail in it. I don't know... It is called a bluff. The trick is to make her think you've got a flush when in reality you have a busted straight.

Ryan

too late for that... she realized a few years ago that i had nothing to back it up. i can't think of any non-violent forms of power i would hold over her.

Try a stun gun. No permanent damage, and she should fall in line. I'm sorry, I'm all out of ideas.

Is that a Gateway PC in the background? If it isn't I'm reporting you to Ted and that annoying talking cow although you were already canned!

Your sis is hot, got any more pics?

D00d we all wanna see.

If I had a hot sister, I would not post her pics on ATOT, but don't let what I would do stop you from what you are going to do.

 

[Ryan]

Well, here's an old thread about her from 2001: http://forums.anandtech.com/arcmessageview.cfm?catid=38&threadid=579883&highlight_key=y&keyword1=sister

I guess I could see if I can muster up some pics

How old are you, how old is she, what do you two normally argue about?

I can get into arguements with my little sister ... nothing helps since we're both stubborn and bull headed.

18 / 13-14

well we argue about how she often refuses to go to restaurants with us (she is fine if we eat at home though) and that leads in to time management issues

Could it be a self esteem issue, thats the reason she doesn't want to go out in public? She is at that age, and even though you weren't like that, you also were not female, so you really can't compare the two.

Seriously though, try to look her in the eyes, and tell her in a calm voice, to calm down, there is no reason to yell. But you have to be willing to listen to her, or it won't work. And, if she won't calm down? Walk away. If she is constantly doing this to get her way though, maybe your parents have to step in and counter with her, ie, if she won't get ready to go out when they want her to, then maybe they won't take her somewhere when she wants to go, or take their time and make her late for what she wants to do in return. She is at a very difficult age, and sometimes, being a little mean is the only way to get it through their heads how they are treating you.

Ugh, my daughter will be there in 4 years.......

 

[Atlantean]

Good slap in the face... or I just talk calmly, and try not to argue with the angry person. Few tranqs slipped into their coffee helps.

GOOD! I was jk. Man... if I had a sister I wouldn't post her pic on ATOT.
