Brothers & Sisters

Let's jaw about 'em!!

Illustrious Reader! Yesterday I had my two-month checkup following cataract surgery and I am now able to report that I have the vision of SuperGirl!

Also, Carroll v. Trump took a slight hit, but we live to fight another day!

E. Jean Carroll @ejeancarroll

The main headline should be: THE CASE IS STILL ALIVE! The 2nd Circuit drop-kicked the case to the DC Court, saying it should be decided by the "local" court where Trump committed the defamation. Come what may, I will bring a 2nd suit for rape, Nov 24th.

So…. in honor of all our brothers and sisters:

LET’S YAK! I’d love to hear about your siblings!

1. What do you love about them?

2. Where are you in the birth order?

3. What did you bicker about growing up?

4. Tell us about your childhood dinnertimes, bedtimes, your vacations?

5. Who ruled your sibling roost?

6. And . . . I Know This Is An Incredibly Nosey, Terribly Personal, You-Don’t-Have-To-Answer, But . . .
