    OTOH, one of the best gifts you could leave your descendants is no clutter to dispose of. Just had one successful cleanup day, next iteration will be all those books we never plan to re-read. Bit by bit...

    Our house doesn’t have a cellar or any other place to store unused stuff in apart from a small chamber in the attic. Helps a lot.

    Hmmm... Maybe I wouldn't say no to my own Barbie. But it might be a bit awkward that her arms only moved at the shoulder and her anatomical accuracy was, well... lacking.

    An (american) ex used to use the expression "smooth like a Ken doll, nothing down there". Err, NOT ABOUT ME, shut up. I can only assume that the expression was a common(ish) expression at some point.
