Thanks, yellowted, of course you're right. I would guess that my wife yells at me because she's frightened, in addition to it being a cultural heritage. And sometimes she calms down and seriously considers the situation. It's just that we've been in this house for 25 years and really hoped to live here until we passed away. Not to mention the immense hassle of getting rid of 75% of the "stuff" we've accumulated here. American "stuff" is like cancer; it keeps on growing and growing and growing until only the most Herculean work can possibly make a dent in it. Personally, I look forward to "having" less stuff. The vast majority of it doesn't make the slightest difference to either of us, and can only make for a very, very interesting "moving" sale. So, though I've been thinking for three years about taking myself out, today is one of the days that I'm thinking about other things. Thanks. Take care!
