MIDDLE TSP SISTER PAIGE CAN BARELY BUDGE, or catch a break, what with the cats-and-dogs behavior that’s suddenly overtaken her formerly so-sweet-together kids. Any moms (or siblings) out there want to reassure only-child Paige that this, too, shall pass? She’s waiting for your advice.

DEAR ABBY HAD SISTER ISSUES, Marion tells us. The famous advice columnist had a twin who grew up to be Ann Landers, and rather than sibling harmony, there were many years that the two did not speak. More important to Marion: They had two separate meatloaf recipes, one per twin sister.
MARION TELLS TALES. REALLY. SHE DOES. The tallest one of all: She says her best kindergarten friend, Andy, smoked cigars on the bus home. Your sibling tell tales? Hear hers.
SICK AT HOW THE TALK’S ALL ABOUT HER, not you? About ready to try flying those feelings up the flagpole like Jan did, to see if it helps? Thanks to author and artist Sloane Tanen for another smile. Read more Sloane.

BABY SISTER MARION USES WORDS like “adorable” and “bouncy” to describe herself on Day 1 of her relationship with Margaret, whose first impression wasn’t quite so perky. Read how Margaret’s reign as an only child ended, and tell us your “Uh-oh, I’ve got a sibling now” memories on “She Said, She Said.”
PAIGE SMITH ORLOFF wonders out loud. Listen in.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia
is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there. 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
