    I wish my sister loved PJ too!! I'm 17, my sister is 14. She's into everything musically that I am not, mostly top-40 stuff. And she won't take any of my musical suggestions! Oh well, her loss (bigtime!)[/quote]

    hey
    to bad about your sister ;)
    concerning the subject, I have a big brother, and he's the one who turned me on to PJ back in '92.
    I was 14 and he was 18 and had just gotten his drivers license. So my dad allowed him to wash the car, before he could use it.
    Anyway, I remember the car-radio played Alive and I though 'wow this new band is really great!(don't think I even remembered their name at the time :lol: ) And thought that I wonder what will happen with them, stardom or one hit wonder. It's so funny to think back on that episode.

    So just give your sister some time, maybe she'll come along. We tend to look up to our older siblings ;)


    just realized I'm new to this forum thing, and not to good on quoting people ;)

    Awesome! I wish my sister loved Pearl Jam.

    If she's only 14 then there's plenty of time! She'll come around. My sister's 34... but she liked Pearl Jam when we were 14! We went to our first PJ show together. Your sister probably secretly likes them because she secretly looks up to you. :D

    I have one sister 17 months older than me.

    I was the baby out of the whole family, all the cousins--both sides, until my niece was born six years ago.

    Me too. Can't relate to Brother, but it somehow fuels the "sibling mystery".

    Yeah, guess I'll give her time. I always liked different music than her. My dad introduced both of us to classic rock very very early on, and I just took to it, and my sister completely did not! She is my polar opposite- it's scary we're both our parents children!

    I only have one real sister. She's older by one year.

    I occasionally had some step brothers and sisters. I don't count them because they weren't around for very long. :P :?

    Eldest of five kids here. :D

    Two sisters (a year and three years younger) and two brothers (seven and ten years younger). 8-) It's safe to say things got a little noisy sometimes. :lol:

    At first I read this as "I'm the youngest of 4.2 girls." I was wondering how there could be 4.2 girls and how you could be the youngest of all girls if you're a guy. :lol: What can I say? It's late and I'm tired. :oops:

    cool, another twin! mine is identical, and we're pretty close. We also have an older brother (3 yrs). they both have a healthy appreciation for pearl jam, I think their opinion is the music is all right, but if it means that much to me then it must be pretty special. we're all close like that.

    We both had our own time of being the only child as such, as he moved out of home when I was 8yo.

    Yeah, me and my brother are a bit like that. I went to uni when he was 3 and have never lived at home since. I used to visit for holidays, and they came to see me when I lived up country. Since I moved back, we are close, he's a great lad. I try to spend time with him when I am not cramping his style! My parents did try to keep me involved, I got copies of school reports, photos, drawings, little notes and they got a web cam so I could see him and chat to him/them when I was away too.

    We have never really been close, other factors influenced that, and I was the black sheep/rebel of the family. I would disappear for months and no-one except my dad would hear from me. Needless to say, always have been a daddy's girl. We have the closest relationship within our family, and that has always caused jealousy with my mother and also my SIL!! My dad and I have very similar personalities and now my son and my dad have a very tight relationship, which is good for both of them.

    yes, sometimes I think: would I have fought all the time or teamed up. I know a lot of examples for the latter one....

    I'm the oldest with 2 younger sisters....3 and 9 years younger. Then I have about 10 half brothers, it constantly changes as my Dad was a very busy man back in the day. If I see a guy who looks similar to me and has a Catholic background it could be my brother. :o I've let's see 3 living Florida that i know of.

    between my parents I am one of 5. here's the breakdown

    Randy 50's(?) I think. Half-brother from dads first marriage. we're not close at all. lived with his mom.

    John 47 half-brother from mom. grew up with him. back then I wish I didnt!!! Hellava guy. really.Honored to be called brother by him.

    Unknown Brother. 44-45? Moms second son. she thought it best to give him up for adoption. Often wonder about him. Catholic Social Services are tightlipped.

    Me 42

    Amanda would have been 38 had she not taken her life 22 years ago.

    I have one older brother, he's 2.5 years older than me. We were never close growing up, did more fighting than anything. Thanks to PJ we're really close today.
