Oh man, I feel your pain on the "gave up" part. I spent a solid 4 hours trying to sort by publisher alphabetical order and ended up just shoving everything back in the boxes by rough size. It's like the more you try to organize the more of a mess it becomes, I swear.

The 3 month photo schedule sounds really consistent. Did you guys agree on that right from the start or did it change over time? I'm always curious how people actually handle the boundaries after the first few years.

Right?! And @sandrah69's dog probably would at least wag its tail sympathetically while you're confused, which is more than that AI did for your cousin.

Buddy of mine used to just ball his clothes up and throw them in a duffel bag until a flight attendant friend taught him to roll them around a belt to keep collars stiff. He said it saved him from looking like he slept in his button-downs on business trips. Worked great until he forgot the belt was in there and set off the metal detector at the airport.

Got to agree with you on that. Had a guy at a Love's in Iowa try to tell me I was overfilling my coolant because the reservoir wasn't at the same level as his old International.
