I'm really ADDing, found this on my screen this morning
Lucylee: some of the study Bibles for young people are great because the extras really help understand the context and also how it applies to today.
Back from my walk. Got soaked on the way home. Stopped by the grocery store and was chased down by an old lady ("Lady! Lady! Lady in the red hat!") She loved my red hat and purple rain jacket and wanted to know if I knew the poem. I did and told her all about our Ancient in California, how she had it by her bed and how I loved the attitude both in the poem and in her. It was lovely to think of Grace again and share how wonderful she was with someone. Cheryl (my new grocery store acquaintance) was fun to chat with.
Getting out of the apartment is good for me! (I also chatted with my neighbour, the super and the lady one floor below us who has lived here since she moved in in 1968, the year the building opened.)
Twins: appeal to your dh's fiscal side - the car is a $30K (or more) asset that is now exposed to vandals, weather damage, and wear and tear as the summer heat eats away on the interior. The contents of the garage are worth less than $10K (I don't even have to look at them to know that since I only got $10K for the contents of my parents' home, including many antiques.)
The car is also a current asset, in use all the time, therefore its loss to repairs or theft would affect day-to-day life. The stuff in the garage doesn't have day-to-day value. I know this because it is in the garage.
Rent a POD and move the contents into that. That will be the incentive to get the stuff out of your life and dh will work with you because I'm sure he'll think the pod is a lot uglier than the car.
And if he's using your car as a status symbol in front of your house, tell him to stop it.
