    🇺🇸Have been a CI watcher for years, but I think it’s my first time seeing Melissa’s mom and stepfather. Loved ‘em both and, as a Texan, I particularly enjoyed listening to your FIL. Whatever his career might actually be (or have been), he would’ve made an absolute 💰killing💰 doing voice-over work: Pirate, Roughneck, Cowboy, Lobsterman, “Old West” Sheriff -or outlaw! …there are just sooo many characters I’d have hired him to voice!

    I’ve become more minimalish as I’ve gotten older and I enjoy when you go through storage spaces and garages because it makes me think of junk I might have and to get rid of it. I think my storage room in the basement is okay but this is a reminder to go down there and toss or donate stuff I thought I might need but haven’t.

    • @anniewardlow9297
      @anniewardlow9297 2 роки тому +18

      Hi!
      Here's my take on your question ❓
      People move out of a place & put EVERYTHING they own in the unit. Then, later they get a smaller place or move in with someone & they don't need or can't take all of their "stuff". They take what they need & pay on the unit & go to it every once in a while & grab something out of it. Then, it gets to the point of having nothing but a bunch of crappola in there. They stop paying for it & Alex buys it!
      😲 Wow... that was a long take on it!
      Be safe, happy & healthy! 👍

      I don't know if you've heard of the book, "How to Mourn the Loss of a Love(d) One" I think it's just loss of a love but? Great book & super easy & comforting read regardless of what type of love you lost or how long ago you lost them.
      My Mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer & died 5 weeks after her diagnosis. I understand how overwhelming the process of going through someone's life or work items. I wanted to put it all in storage & go through it later but didn't think about it. I quickly sorted what I could & threw a lot away & then donated the rest. I didn't even have the heart to do a yard sale!
      Bless you all & stay well!

    The skull belongs to a cervid (deer family) and probably a female moose. The holes just in front of the eyes (for the preorbital gland) are very pronounced in cervids and not found in horses or cows.
