Thank you Om, you just described DW and her two sisters and their
outlook on life and their duty to scavenge whatever is out there. I no
longer cringe whey the Love of My Life comes home with a car full of
someone else's rubbish, I just make room, in what was supposed to be a
garage, for some more of her "stuff."

At's okay, I keep telling her, "When you die I'm renting a 60-yard skip
and throwing stuff out to make room for my next wife, who damned sure
won't be an artist or a scavenger." She just smiles sweetly and keeps my
life insurance policies handy.

Careful George. My aunt's husband told her the same thing, and I have just
spent two months of weekends loading *his* stuff into bags and boxes and
dispatching it to various charities.
