Very Conservative Oldest Brother.
VCOB it is. Is she very conservative too?
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

VCOB was just used as an example--he's my brother. The pregnant SIL is married to the older of Dylan's two younger brothers.
She's basically the opposite of me. Sort of super-girly. She was appalled, seriously, that we got Annabel a sports mobile for her crib--a cute one with teddy bears holding footballs, baseballs, etc.

And, yes, I know the odds are very high that ten years from now Annabel and her cousin will be sitting around at family reunions complaining about their mothers, because Annabel will be sick of having a tomboy-geek mother, and her cousin will be equally tired of having a hyper-feminine mother, Southern style.

Annabel's GirlyAunt it is! Also, yay for cousins, Annabel! Let the bossing commence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think you should denote her in the Madrigalian nomenclature: Bitey Sis, Baudelaire Sis, Biggy Sis.
So she can be Girly SiL.

Women like that puzzle me, Susan, and that is without your knowledge of firearms. That is why I saw in Kay Howard a sister, though. Even if her hair is perfect...it's just sort of naturally perfect though. I can't feature her buying volumizer and this and that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cass calls those "medical peas".Medicinal peas. Sheesh, it's like you weren't paying attention at all...

Girly SIL works for me. Girliness doesn't puzzle me as such--all the Buffista women who out-femme me don't, for example. And I know that in the big scheme of things, there are a lot more women like Girly SIL than like me. But she does take it to an extreme level, and we're so opposite we hardly know what to do with each other at family gatherings.

Ann, that's a ferret.

one of those (freakish) people who keeps her flour in the freezer
Hey!
I know it's weird, but I had a nasty bug problem in Romania (the bugs were apparently already in the flour), resulting in me both keeping it frozen to keep them dormant, and sifting the flour through nylons before using.
Also, the DH is opposed to anything on the counter, so no chance for canisters until we get a house with two kitchens. Seriously. He threw out my dishrack, and puts the blender and food processor away every time he sees them on the counter (which is about every day, since I use them to cook). Your housemates may vary.
