My daughter Libra was a pack rat. I have boxes stacked along one side of my garage to prove it. She would take a long time to get ready to go somewhere, and was usually late. When we traveled to visit family, she would always overpack. When she went shopping, she would have items in her basket at the checkout that she decided she didn't want, and almost always bought items that she would return later. These were not flaws, it is just who she was. I would give anything to add to the boxes in the garage, wait patiently while she got ready, lug the baggage to the car, and take her to return the items to the store.

I can sympathize with Libra - the overpacking..OH!! are you ok, John? such early days still....take good care if you can....Cathrynn X
My Dad could never decide which restaurant he wanted to go to. Many times we would be seated in one, then he decided that he didn\'t like the menu/it was too cold/hot/noisy.....My husband would dread going out for dinner with them!!! In the end we would always go to whatever would be Dad\'s favourite at the time. Like you I would give anything to walk around as many restaurants it would take, just to be able to sit and have dinner with him again. Warm hugs for you John. Tahnee X
lol, my mom was a pack rat too. overdoing it on almost everything, especially christmas decorations and boyd\'s bears. you name it, she had it.....somewhere....either the attic or her garage. she was always buying the latest makeup item, skin cream, etc. i have taken after her in that regard. i have a habit of returning items to the store too, even if its only a few bucks...why waste the money right? lol, good memories john...good stuff.
