| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | I would just like to add that I need to hear it over and over how giving stuff away makes good for the next owner. I am happy to hear the repetition of that. |
| Future topics | In the Midwest with the cold winters it requires a different wardrobe, warm pajamas, coats, outerwear, warm slippers, etc. All bulky items. I rotate summer clothes and winter clothes by storing them in the basement in either a new garbage can with lid and wheels or big containers.
