If you can get her to toss anything out, you're a better man than I. My wife make a journey to Mullen, Texas each year for a High School reunion. The trip usually begins on a Thursday and end on a Tuesday of the following week. I did hire a fellow to come buy during one of her trips to Mullen, and haul off a bunch of her trash from the back yard, including most of her pile of wood. He took it all to the city dump for $500.00, which improved the mess in the back yard greatly. The front yard looks fine; although, upon close inspection you would find all manner of stuff hidden away in the hedges around the house. Anyway, my wife never said a word about all her stuff in the back yard that Mr. Oscar Alforo hauled to the dump. My wife is passive aggressive making it hard at time for me to know exactly for what I'm being punished, but my guess is I paid a prise for the deed somewhere along the way.
