Dude, that sort of sh-- would make me crazy. I think you handled it just fine. Obviously it's hard to talk about people you don't know on a message board, but it seems like your sister is just out of touch. As I read what you wrote, I found myself relating much more to you than I did your depiction of your sister. I'm not all that much of a materialist to begin with, but even if I were, I wouldn't be so condescending to family like that. Most people I know put God and family first in their lives...I tend to stay away from people who put washing machines and remote controls in their top five,
