[elky] Re: full disclosure

And that way we remember what we are keeping for our kids, when we pass on....

My parents are at least trying to get us to take some of the stuff, which we 
dont want now, and won't want then either, but at least they are trying to get 
rid of some of it.

If something were to happen to my parents, I think we would all be so 
overwhelmed with their stuff in storage, we may forget what great parents we 
had been blessed with!

We give them that speach from time to time, they are not horders by any means, 
but they save some pretty useless stuff, just to save it.

When Grandpa passed on(when I brought that Elky home) Dad realized how much 
stuff was really not necessary, and I have been finding the less I have in my 
house and garage, the less I am distracted and stressed out about my junk.

of course.  But, you know, he brought it on himself.  When they moved in we all 
told him to keep his 5 year old away from the Smith kid, he liked to take the 
little boys in the woods and 'play games' (if you catch my drift).  He laughed 
at us, couple months later he was all over the place angry as all get out, like 
somehow it was the whole neighborhood's fault.  I understand he felt he'd just 
bought a house in an awful neighborhood.  It wasn't our fault, but he was just 
angry at everyone.

You have boys, you have neighbors - it's a volatile mix.  My fav was the 
teacher next door who came over to complain my 15 year old and her HUSBAND were 
fighting over their radio control cars and would I talk to my son?  I told him 
not to play with the kid next door.  Then she came back a few weeks later and 
told me that she'd had such good luck talking to me before she thought she'd 
come complain again.  I never mentioned it to the kids and she never came back. 
Some of these folks are put on this earth to remind you how good you have it....

I think everyone should move every 5 years.  Helps you focus on what to keep 
and what's just junk.

And packing slowly is always wise.  Just remember over state lines you pay by 
the POUND.  And it ain't cheap.

I guess he was complaining about your boys? If that's it ya think he would be 
happy you were leaving. [http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201e05b65/13]
   Update; the buyers bank appraiser came through here two days ago. She 
couldn't have been here over 7 minutes. I don't know if that's a good thing or 
a bad thing. Still waiting on a closing date. I have been doing some packing, a 
little at a time. I think I must have tossed away as much as I have packed.
     To much stuff, I tossed enough to stock a small gift store. Sheesh. I 
refuse to move it only to toss it later.
