Haimish I now look at people who are still shackled, (because that's what it is), and I want to shake them.

One friend who has six grown up children, who now have their own children, rattles around in a 7-bedroom house jam-packed with stuff. She has a room-size linen cupboard full of, well stuff, some pre-war, sheets that were made for smaller beds, and have never been opened. All of it belongs in a museum.

Her kids have the matches ready.

The simple life suits me perfectly.
