But man, if I had to edit down to two bags? Goodness, that would be life changing, no doubt.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-29589329813943241942011-11-24T08:41:27.583-08:002011-11-24T08:41:27.583-08:00A wonderful post.

One year, when my son found them in MY drawer, he insisted that we have corn that night. So, we have used them once.<br /><br />I've moved five times in the past four years, and each time donate more and more things and never replace them. I'm happy with less.<br /><br />My wife just moved here from Bulgaria, with just her two bags. She is happy, too.Roland Denzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973262223130314573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-64970492841333008802011-11-22T16:20:17.892-08:002011-11-22T16:20:17.892-08:00The shock that I'm not really over yet is movi...The shock that I'm not really over yet is moving from Chicago to Canada. But it keeps me 'hungry' and full of plans.

I haven't used them in forever, and considering the amount of corn I bought this year, if this wasn't the year then it's never going to be!<br /><br />Gotta hang on to the turquoise egg separator though!Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-74427127741928080592011-11-22T12:59:31.344-08:002011-11-22T12:59:31.344-08:00Maribel,

Then he found a job in northern Canada. I had to give up a million dollar plus home and move to a small two bedroom basement apartment.<br /><br />There is a lot to say about this, things are going well now.<br />I used to say that I lost everything. This is not true I still have everything that I need..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262167552604444300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-56751359851501139052011-11-22T06:42:11.150-08:002011-11-22T06:42:11.150-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262167552604444300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-51524223315346572242011-11-22T04:31:08.352-08:002011-11-22T04:31:08.352-08:00I have those "exact" corn cob holders!! ...I have those "exact" corn cob holders!!
