Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Kathy, Thank you for that great big laugh.....really it was with you My husband is very similar to yours, I believe! If you cold see our garage now, no cars in it, but boy do we have bikes. I bet we have 40-50 bikes. It is my husband's hobby to collect them and fix and resell them. Granted he usually makes about 200-300% on each sale. However, in the meantime, I cannot park in the garage and God forbid we need to find something we need like a stroller or soccer ball. I can relate..... Caroline Kathy Ratkiewicz wrote: > > I can’t believe I forgot Goodwill!!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You want to talk about garages? True story...one day a few summers ago, my husband had the garage doors up, and a man in a pickup pulled in the drive to ask him if he wanted any trash hauled away out of the garage..we live on a major highway, and have pine trees in front, and the guy could still tell at a quick glance that ours was not a 'normal' garage. You have my heartiest sympathies;-) KathyR [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Re: -Kathy Kathy, Thank you for that great big laugh.....really it was with you My husband is very similar to yours, I believe!
