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: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
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.
